I raved so much about Amadeus Pizza that Josh wanted to try it as well, since he was in Las Vegas the first time I ordered in from there. We placed an order on seamless web for a large cheese pie and garlic knots, and it arrived a short while later. I would have to give points for fast delivery, except that when we opened the box, the pizza looked disgustingly white.
An extremely pale pie
It was way undercooked, as the cheese was barely melted and didn’t have any bubbly brown spots to it at all.
Doesn't look much better close up
The crust was also a sickly pale color on top, though when I flipped it over to look at the bottom, it looked brown. Maybe their oven was on too high and they were worried about burning the pizza?
Underside shot
The garlic knots were nicely brown and still had an ample sprinkling of chopped garlic on top, but they were cold. They did come with a container of tomato sauce for dipping this time though, which I thought was a nice touch. The sauce was still warm at least.
At least the garlic knots were properly browned
The pizza was obviously horribly undercooked and cold. It was almost like they brought us a par-baked pizza, and we finished cooking it in our oven on our pizza stone. At least then it came out hot and crispy but to me, reheated pizza just isn’t the same as pizza fresh from the oven the first time. It still tasted pretty good after we re-baked it but I can’t get over how they would send out a pie that looked the way it did when it arrived. Seriously, it just looked gross, and Josh couldn’t believe that I liked it the first time. Believe me, it certainly didn’t look like that. I was embarrassed for having so highly recommended it in the first place. I was sorely disappointed, and don’t think we’ll be ordering in from them again any time soon.
