Our Grading System
While we like and appreciate all pizza, we love some Seattle pizzas more than others. Here’s a guide to our grading system so that we can keep track of our favourites. We grade on a scale of 1-5, and focus on the pizza only, not the restaurant. A pizza that earns a 4 is a great pizza. A pizza that earns a 5 is possibly the best pizza you’ve ever had.
Our base Neapolitan style pizza is a plain ol’ Margherita, and we order some sort of pepperoni pizza to judge the American-style ones.

Was there too much or too little cheese? Was it gross when it cooled down?
Toppings Ratio
Was there enough of everything? Was anything too overpowering?
Value
Is this a pizza you could afford to make a habit?
Charisma
This is how all of the above comes together, and can include the restaurant and ambiance.
