The pizza I ordered was a Mad Dog, kind of a traditional meat lovers, with some extra vegetables, including garlic cloves (mmm...). The thing with build-it-yourself places is that you get all the credit or blame for the combination you choose, so it's hard to give them a lot of credit for pizza flavor. That's especially the case with the salad, it's all you. I liked what I had. I love a thin crust, and the edges were definitely crisp. The middle did get soft but didn't fall apart.
I had the garlic strips with both the red and pesto sauces. Both went really well with the bread. Like many places it is their pizza crust with a little parmesan and garlic on it.
The dessert cake was fine--they call it a "no-name cake", but what it is, is a Little Debbie.
The drinks may be of interest. They have their liquor license and have craft beers available. Their drink machine is a standard one (and was fully functional), but it has the same kind of ice as Sonic.
The atmosphere was typical for newer chains--lots of corporate vision decoration and slogans--but not in a bad way. There are worse than "I have gratitude, I have attitude". Service was very polite and efficient. The bathroom looked unfinished, but was reasonably clean and functional. I would definitely go again.
Our options in the neighborhood for build-it-yourself pizza are Pie Five and now, MOD Pizza. I like both--it would be a matter of personal preference as far as which one you go to. Pie Five has a rather unique thin crust made for more production-oriented conveyor belt oven. MOD Pizza uses a more traditional pizza oven, and the pizza comes out with crisp edges. Both are good in their own way.
