Ange's Pizza (Karl road and 161, Columbus, OH 614-888-5767)

Hype: Dave drove past this place and said it smelled good the other day.  Sean Wright said he heard it was "good honest pizza."  That's about enough.  Oh, yeah, I think Wumme Wenders lives nearby.

Scene: Classic Columbus pizza restaurant feeling inside.  The Simpson's Arcade game in the back.  Lattice wall separating the carryout side from the dining room.  A family watching the Snoop-dog bio on E!  They left so we could watch basketball.  

The Pie

Crust- Saltine-style.  It got a little too soft f

rom the pep-oil, but very tolerable.  It was nicely browned on the edges.

Sauce- Typical of Columbus pies.  Sweet.  Hints of italian seasoning and a few, scarce bits of tomato skin.  Appropriate amount added.

Cheese- hearty amount.  A little tang and nicely browned in some areas.

Peps- lots of them.  Good cupping.  I don't always like cupping but with this pizza it worked.  Kinda thick cut and 

Overall: "Good, honest pizza" seems to be an excellent description of this pie.  A strong 4--5 on a bright spring day!  Check it out!!!!!  http://www.angespizza.com

EXTREME WEINER'S Does Pizza (Cafe Bobo, Summit St. Columbus, OH)

Hype: We heard about X-Treme Weiners pizza a few nights ago and were intrigued. Why would a place that does good dogs try their hand at the other party-food? Didn't someone else give that a shot in the same store? We were up there the other night and gave it a shot.

Scene: Bourbon st. You know... self-delusional asshole musicians, bacterial art-gays, and other losers that have failed to come of age in a timely manner. We fit in fine, unfortunately. Its hot and smells funny. For those that have not been, its a bar.

The Pie:

Crust- Kinda thick, which could be nice but it was underdone and lacked oil, and general taste.

Sauce- Straight outta the can. I hope they spice it up a bit with red or hot pepper, and an entire can of italian seasoning. nice sweetness, let's take it further.

Cheese- Lots of it. It would be better if the pizza were cooked for 5 more minutes at a slightly higher temp.

Peps- Thin and 'alright'

Overall: We are rooting for this pizza but it is still in its infancy. If I were drunk at a party I might have sex with it in the ally. This pizza was ok. It will get better though. Go Weiner's: maybe a 3-5? I think if I were wasted at a show it would be 5--5.

Flying Pizza (OSU CAMPUS LOCATION)

Hype: We heard about a new shop in Grandview, but Dave was really impatient and I didn't know if I would make it out there alive without eating first so we went down to campus to visit an old standby.

Scene: It is small, kinda hot but classic. College-age kids working behind the counter. It's It's flying pizza--you know. It has a really strange picture on the wall:


The Pie:
Crust: Crispy. Not too thick, not too thin. Perfect.
Sauce: Sweet and tangy with some classic oregano hints.
Cheese: Plenty of it, but not over the top. might it be actual pizza cheese?
Peps: Salty, tasty and fine. Meatiness too.

Overall: FUCK YOUR FAVORITE PIZZA SHOP. THIS IS THE REALIST SHIT. WE TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS CLASSIC COLUMBUS ESTABLISHMENT AND URGE YOU TO GO EAT TWO PEP SLICES FROM FLYING PIZZA CAMPUS LOCATION. 5 OUT OF 5 NO DOUBT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
