Pizza Rev

Pizza Rev is the Chipotle of pizzas as Chipotle is the Subway of  Burritos. The great thing a out these places is it's cheap, customized, and convinent time wise. Pizza Rev is a great idea in fast-past California. When I first noticed it I was ecstatic because I was craving Pieology (the competitor of Pizza Rev). After months I finally went! 

The place was really nice and the guy at the front was super informative with what they do. You order what they have or make your own pizza and it's a flat rate of $7.99 + tax. I went with the customize option and comparing Rev with Pieology was the variety of toppings. There was a ton to choose from and for me I grabbed a ton. After that they popped my pie in the oven and voila. They did have a special where you can have a beer for $8.99 but don't take my word for it.

Interior, sorry for the blur. I was standing by the entrance =P

We took it to go; I wanted to eat it badly, the drive was too long. When we got home I noticed the packaging. It was a nice touch, didn't think I notice huh? The pizza was not as big as Pieology but we all know it's not the size of the pizza it's about taste. I was going for a sexual innuendo, I'll put one up later. So, I grabbed a slice with a little bit of everything, took a bite, chewed, swallowed, repeated. . . And repeated. . . .And repeated. Hmmmm, maybe the second slice is better; nope!! Oh boy was I disappointed. Really? Really?! The cheese was bland, the crust had no depth of flavor, the bacon was chewy-chewy, the chicken was saltier than expected, the basil lost some flavor as well, and the sun-dried tomatoes was okay. 

 

I reluctantly finished my pizza because I did not want any evidence it ever happened and if I had leftovers I would have to go through the same disappointment again. Comparing this to Pieology, I say Pieology wins by a landslide. I won't go in depth because that's another entry for later. I was really hopeful for Pizza Rev, I  am not willing to try it again; not worth the $8 PLUS tax. It's a convenient place to go hang out with friends and grab a beer, but for someone who is hankering for some really good pizza, any other option is your best choice.
