The Omaha Critic

Recently there was a contest at another branch of the company I work for in Connecticut to crown their king of pizza. Not wanting to be out done by people from the east coast, my office is getting together to do our “Super Bowl” of Pizza. We’re in process of building our “Pizza Grid” of our competitors which we should have out next week.

This week we pitted La Casa against Zios in a 3 pie battle. 

The rules are as follows: 3 Pizzas will be ordered from each location. A hamburger, a pepperoni, and a cheese. Each pizza will be rated on crust, sauce, toppings, cheese, “eww” factor, and general overall like or dislike.

La Casa —————————-Zios
Total 2.878787879                  Total 2.878787879
Yuk 2.875                                   Yuk 2.2857142
Total points: 95                           Total Points: 95
Net Points: 92.125                    Net Points: 92.714

As you can tell Zios squeaked by La Casa.

Comments include: “I didn’t like either, but Zios was better all around. Zios looked like a pizza. La Casa more closely resembled an oil drip pan.”

“La Casa: Too Garlicy Zios: Good, but so-so crust”

“Zios: Crust Limp, Greasy, Cheese is weak”

For the record, my preference is La Casa between the two. Who knew that Zios would win… I will keep you posted.

Omaha Critic and I **might**  (I STRESS might) actually get to have a date night tonight.

We really can’t review Hiro again.  We really can’t.  It’s just awesome.  Eat there.  Maybe even camp outside their new restaurant, which isn’t open yet, but I’m sure will be equally yummy, since we know their reputation for excellence in sushi.

So where should we go?  We want to try something new, something hot, something AWESOME, since this is the one night out we’ve had since…um…well it’s been awhile.

Any idears?  (Yes, IDEArS!)
