I feel this pizza is the antithesis to Nancy’s Pizzeria. Ragú knows its place; it doesn’t try to be super fancy or sell itself as more than it is. It’s a pizza! And quite frankly, a pretty tasty one too. I felt the strongest parts of this pizza were its taste, its presentation, and the fact that i could get it for 5 bucks. These are all shortcomings of the Nancy’s Pizzeria pie that quite frankly o believe are the most important qualities of a pizza. If your pizza looks good, tastes good, and anybody can get it? sold. All the rest is just fluff for the critics (i am not a critic but rather a god among men). The biggest gripe i have with this pizza is that the slice is really droopy, and the cheese has a problem both in the fact that it can’t stay on the slice and that there just is not enough of it. The slice will droop and the cheese will split apart on the slice. I think these would be much greater shortcomings if the pizza wasn’t absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed the balance of the sauce and the toppings. I’m glad that Ragú of all companies did not fuck up the sauce, it was genuinely delicious. I know that my score for this one is .1 higher than the Nancy’s pizzeria, but i’d like to make it clear that i enjoyed this pizza much more as an experience than Nancy’s. On a technical level i think their discrepancies counter each other into an even stand-off, but Ragú has one thing that Nancy can’t beat: heart.
