The most expensive pizza I've ever (not) eaten, next to Magic Oven, and the latter's got organic/specialty ingredients that you didn't even know you wanted on a pizza in the first place.

$15.80 for a small "Jazz Cajun" pie with two toppings (sundried tomatoes and goat cheese) is far too expensive. I don't count "sauce", "seasoning" and mozzarella as toppings as those are standard. So I paid almost $16 for goat cheese? Because as you can see from the photo, the sundried tomatoes were liberally "sprinkled" on top as an afterthought and immediately fell off the moment I lifted out the lone slice I ate. The pizza tasted OK but there wasn't enough sauce. In fact, I want a refund for the "sauce" topping. Unless its inclusion in "quotation marks" is intended to call attention to its "sparseness".

Mike S ordered cajun wings ($11.25) and there were eleven of them. They were neither breaded nor sauced - instead a sort of shiny texture glistening with beads of oil. He said they were gristly. I don't even eat meat and I know gristly = not ideal.

I'm trying not to fault this place for taking close to two hours to deliver my pizza on a Saturday night, but really, driving a pizza ten blocks east shouldn't take that long, and I was quoted one hour at most. I had to call back after ninety minutes to ask for an update and was told the driver had just left for my house, but then it still took another thirty minutes.

Also, what are "pork wings"? Because they're on the menu and I need to know exactly when pigs started sprouting appendages that facilitate flying.
