Chris's Pizza

Ah yes, Chris's Pizza. Why the extra "s"? Why not Chris' pizza? Does the extra s make the pizza more delicious? Who IS Chris?? The world may never know. What I do know is that Chris's Pizza was the first slice I had when I first came to college and will always have a special place in my heart. I try to stay loyal to Chris's as often as possible, and the service you get with this family owned business, it's nearly impossible to not want to come back for more. So, it is only logical that I make Chris's Pizza my first post for Love at First Slice.


Plain Slice

Crust Strength: 3/10
This slice could not hold its own. The crust was by no means falling apart, however the slice would flop down directly below where your hands are placed. This may be expected by pizzas with toppings because of the weight of the slice, but this was a plain slice. It is very important to note that I got to Chris's about 40 minutes before closing, so the slice I got wasn't fresh out of the oven. I expect that if I had gotten there earlier the crust would've held up better.

Sauce: 9/10
Sauce distribution was just right. There wasn't so much sauce that you couldn't take a bite without it spilling out, but there was enough that you can tell there is sauce present. The sauce was also spread out evenly so there were not any peaks, valleys, or pockets of sauce.

Cheese Coverage: 8/10
The cheese was sprinkled evenly over the pizza, so there weren't any patches of sauce showing through thinly spread cheese. There was no cheese drag, but that was likely due to the combination of it being an older slice as well as not being heated up enough.

Greasiness: 1/10
No grease dripped off as I ate the pizza, but did leave a small oil stain on the box it was sitting in.
*Note: this category's highest score would be a 0/10, and the lowest score would be a 10/10. While calculating this pizza's score, +9 will be added to the slice's points.

TOTAL SCORE: 29/40 

Overall, a pretty great score for a plain slice of pizza! The crust strength was the only disappointing part of the slice, but I am mostly to blame. Chris's is always bringing out new pies, especially during rush times (I know you've all been there once on a Friday night. You know what I'm talking about). Sunday night at 11:20pm is not exactly a time where making a fresh pie makes sense. I definitely should have gone during the day or during a rush time this weekend to have a more accurate review. I don't think a 29/40 is at all a typical reflection of Chris's Pizza's craftsmanship.

Welcome

Hi, internet! Welcome to Love At First Slice, the cheesiest blog on the web. If there's one thing I think most of the population can agree on, it's that pizza is a staple fast food. A nationwide survey found that the average American will eat 6,000 slices of pizza in their lifetime.

I am no exception to this statistic. I am a pizza aficionado. I ate a half a pizza the night before a pageant with no regrets. I've worked in the pizza industry for a combined 5 years. I've had the experiences of working for a pizza chain and a mom & pop pizzeria. When I would tell people I worked at a pizza place, they'd often ask me "don't you get sick of pizza?" The answer is a firm "hell no". I understand the reasoning of why people don't like to bring work home with them, but I worked in an environment I loved... surrounded by pizza.

Smiling because I get to serve pizza, paint pizza art, and spend Valentine's Day with pizza

So why am I telling you about this? Maybe you don't have a big appetite. Maybe you're sensitive to lactose. Maybe you can't eat 13 slices of pizza in a week. Maybe your "college student budget" only allows you to get a $2 plain slice at Riggtown because you spent the rest of your budget at the bars. I'm telling you this because you need me. I'm the hero West Chester deserves. I'm ready to put the pizzerias of West Chester to the test. I'd like to make my blog the go-to place to answer the question every West Chester University student finds themselves asking.

"Where should I get pizza from tonight?"
