FP Review:
Appearance:
The FPP grabbed my attention almost as much as the great sale price. Flashy colors and a gooey product. Only the best for Orville Kositzke.
goo. rizer.
The pie without the packaging looks great. Can’t wait for the crust to rize and shine. Rumble in my tumble.
healthy pep pep community.
The finished product. The crust looks a little dark on the edges, but the rizer delivered. It is hard to believe the voluminous cornicione you see in front of you came from such a flat crusted FP.
I’ve seen better. I haven’t seen cheaper.
Let’s get a close up of the pepperoni.
The three cheese blend seems a little thin in coverage, but the huge pepperoni collection orv started on the crust seems to make up for that. The individual pepperoni slices are a little smaller than your average pep slice, but they glisten lustrously all the same.
Nose:
The tomato sauce is the big one here. Pretty much mostly stannic tomato sauce, but there’s some other scents drifting around. There are a lot of dough notes (not doughnuts lol). And maybe just a hint of pepperoni coming in at the end.
Mouth-feel:
The first bite behaves well. The crust is very thick for a frozen pizza (even compared with the digiorno), but there is enough sauce to aid in the chewing process. This continues until the sauce-less portion.
The cornicione really inflated. It feels exactly like a microwavable super pretzel. It tastes like one too, except it’s one of the pretzels where the salt didn’t stick. Maybe you didn’t put enough water on the pretzel for the salt to stick. I don’t know. It does get a bit dry, if you eat the crust all at once with no break.
Overall:
I was happy to find such a good deal at the store. This is without question the best value for a pizza I have ever seen. It was actually pretty good too. One thing that’s a little interesting about Orv’s is that it is owned by Bernatello’s. Bernatello’s also owns Roma, and Brew Pub pizzas, but neither of those have anything on the value of this pie.
Ratings:
Value: 99/100 – I don’t know how you could get any better. I will leave it as a 99, just in case…
Taste: 82/100 – Pretty average. No glaring problems.
Aura: 86/100 – It’s just an FP. Nothing fancy. I like it.
Mouth-feel: 84/100 – Loads of crust. Not a huge problem, but it could get to you after a whole FP.
Overall: 88/100 – B+ Pretty solid pie. Especially the value.
