Little Caesars - Pretzel Crust with Cheese Sauce

I ordered this pizza by mistake and I consider it's existence a mistake.

When I first took a bite, I thought the cheese was rancid, and the crust was under cooked.

I was right and wrong. It didn't dawn on me that anyone would consider it a good idea to put nacho cheese sauce as opposed to marinara on a pizza.

Dipping this pizza in marinara sauce didn't help either.

Little ceasars shouldn't be doing this. Little ceasars shouldn't be selling this.

If you want a pretzel crust, make sure you get the marinara one.

Bettergoods - Pepperoni and Ricotta Ultra Thin Crust Pizza

Following up from trying the pepperoni and bacon bettergoods pizza in April, I tried another of their pizzas. This one has an ultra thin crust, and a good amount of ricotta cheese. It's pretty good, though I definitely prefer the last one I had over this one.

If you like a simple thin-crust pizza with good cheese and a bit of a crunch, this is worth a try.

Maverik Supreme

This is really good. At $3.89 a slice, it's not a great deal, but it's a very good pizza. Definitely my favorite of the Maverik pizzas.

With olives, green peppers, sausage, and pepperoni it's a solid lineup, with a great overall flavor combination.

Nico's Special - Nico's Pizza, Provo UT

Tried a new pizza place today, it's really good! Got the Nico's Special, tomato sauce topped with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers. They have a lot of different pizzas on their menu, and most of them looked really good, but I decided to go with something popular but still somewhat interesting. It's a solid pizza, great overall combination. I'm not usually one for mushrooms, but on this pizza they were great.

Highly recommend giving Nico's a try if you're in Provo!

My Unsplash Pizza Photo

My most popular pizza photo on my Unsplash page has hit 250,000 downloads! It's also over 131 million views, across a lot of popular sites. It's used on lots of BuzzFeed articles, Medium articles, Notion and Trello boards, email newsletters, and lots of other stuff. This photo is one of my proudest accomplishments related to my pizza obsession.

The photo is of a Little Caesar's Stuffed Crust Extra-Most-Bestest Pepperoni pizza, first published to Unsplash in 2018. I love pizza, photography, and open licenses, so Unsplash was a perfect place to publish some of my better photos. I plan on adding more photos there soon, I have so many that aren't openly shared yet.

Deluxe - Marco's Pizza

Decided to try Marco's again, the last time was quite a while ago. This time I went for the Deluxe pizza, with pepperoni, sausage, and green peppers. It's a pretty solid pizza, definitely something I'd recommend, but it's pretty pricey. Even with a $3 discount, my order was ~$15 after tax for a single medium pizza, which is harder to justify when the $6.99 Domino's mix-and-match deal still exists.

Great pizza though, with a good crust, good toppings, good cheese, and a lot of grease.

Totino's Ultimate - Loaded Combination

This is a weird one. The Totino's Party Pizza is typically known for being a very cheap, decent pizza. Over the last few years, like most other things, it's gotten both more expensive and less great in general, costing about double what it did at the start of this blog, and with noticeably less cheese than it had before.

The value on this one is tricky, but I really like it. It's a solid pizza, and I love the convenience of being able to quickly bake it in a toaster oven. At nearly $3 though, that's rapidly approaching the ~$5 for a much larger Red Baron or Great Value pizza. When I want a cheap, fast pizza, a regular Totino's Party Pizza is close enough that I don't see myself typically spending around twice as much for a slightly better mini pizza.

It's a weird middle ground, and I don't know how I feel about the value proposition here. Great pizza though, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try!
