I ordered a Diavola pizza and received a Sicilian pizza. I was offered a refund for the mistake, so I wasn't too upset about the mix-up, but the attention to detail came through in the pizza quality.
The dough tasted heavily of low-quality flour, and that taste overwhelmed the entire pizza. The flavor was so strong that I checked the bottom to see if it was accidentally placed on a floured surface after they cooked it, but nope, that's just how the dough tastes. The texture didn't save it either - the crust was simultaneously charred and extremely soggy.
There was a meager amount of the San Marzano tomato sauce on the pizza. This was alright since it had a stale - almost rancid - quality to it, as though the open can had been sitting out for too long.
The mozzarella was overcooked to the point of being inedible - it came as dense, rubbery chunks that were lacking in flavor since all the oils had separated from the protein. Again, not the freshest tasting, but it hard to tell much about the quality of the ingredient with how it was cooked.
The pepperoni was tough, flavorless, and extremely oily. Another victim of overcooking the toppings? Both the pepperoni and the mozzarella fell off the soggy crust as soon as I picked the slice up, so I had to hold it all together to get a proper bite.
This is the only pizza I've had in my life that I couldn't eat. I took two small bites and really savoured them so that I could give an honest review, and I picked at some of the toppings, but that was as far as I could go. There are some world-class neapolitan pizza places in Boulder, but this place doesn't make the list.
