  • 1750 Cal/FP
  • Interesting numbers: 195 Cal/$, 2.6 oz/$

FP Review:

Appearance:

The FPP (pictured below, thanks to a great suggestion from Justy Barney) boasts “over 1/2 LB Wisconsin Cheese”, but looking at those thick slices of mozzarella I wouldn’t be surprised if it was more like 250 grams!

thick cuts of great lookin cheese. can't wait.

The Lotzza Motzza was cooked on a Pizzazz pizza oven. That’s a lot of Z’s, don’t sleep on this pie tho.

gooey

Oh boy. Get the lactaid ready.

When the timer was up and the FP was cooked, a bubbly gooey pile of cheese was waiting for me. The cooked cheese looked very pretty. It’s hard to see, but there is also quite a few pepperoni slices hiding under the mozza. Kind of intimidating.

Nose:

Smells like a cheese factory. Not a very big cheese factory. Probably one that just makes craft cheeses in small batches. They would probably sell a lot to tourists, cuz the locals know that they could get more for their money elsewhere. It’s not like it has a bad reputation, in fact it has over four stars on Yelp. It’s just a little expensive…

Mouth-feel:

This pizza could be a bit divisive in this area. I can definitely see why some people would really enjoy the chewy gooey cheesy mouth-feel. But for me, it’s just a bit too much. I don’t want to have to get a medial pterygoid massage after every bite. I don’t think anyone wants that.

The excessive chewiness of the cheese was not helped by the crust. The base of this pie was one of the softest I’ve experienced. I think it could partly be due to the cooking method (pizzazz), which is unfortunate because a crunchy crust would have really added an interesting component to the experience.

The sauce was plentiful, and the pepperoni was a pretty hard to notice. You could taste it, but it was hard to feel it.

Overall:

Definitely a great taste. Definitely a lot of cheese. Definitely aptly named. Probably not enough pepperoni to give you the meat sweats. Probably enough cheese to give you a stomach ache.

Ratings:

Value: 59/100 – Second lowest numbers on Cal/$, Oz/$. Cheese fills you up though.

Taste: 90/100 – I actually really enjoyed this FP’s taste. The sauce stood zestfully in the face of mountains of mozzarella. The pep pep was pretty good too.

Aura: 92/100 – I tend to like it when an FPM doesn’t hide their product behind a box. Brew Pub Pizza lets you see exactly what’s going on, and I respect that. Thank you.

Mouth-feel: 77/100 – Real chewy. But not the worst.

Overall: 80/100 – B/C Cheese get degrees

    Hmm… no complaining about the price? But, it’s the same price as the Screamin’ Sicilian- which you said was too much money for a frozen pizza- and you rated that at 92 for “mouthfeel”. Also, a $20 bottle of vino deserves better than a frozen pizza.
