Pizza Taste Test!!


Elizabeth has been sick and under the weather for a couple weeks (she is now on antibiotics for a sinus infection and is feeling much better) but, as usual, I caught it and have been sick this past week.  We had signed up to feed the missionaries on Thursday but I wasn't feeling great so we decided that I shouldn't cook; instead we did a Pizza Taste Test!  


 The Elders, Elder Stoddard and Elder Sewell, got here before Ben got back from work so they had to stand on the front porch (poor boys, at least it was warm-ish) but I told them what we were going to do for dinner and they talked excitedly about what they thought our taste test would reveal (it was fun having them so excited- thanks Elders).  We ended up getting a medium pepperoni pizza from Little Ceasars, Blackjack and Dominos.  I put small slices on numbered plates and Ben and the Elder's had to taste them and rate them (not knowing which was which).  We rated them on the sauce, crust and overall (looking back we decided we should have also included cheese in our rating system).  They got really into the ratings and it was SILENT as they all sampled the pieces, took sips of water in between, and carefully selected their ratings. Once everyone was done, I tallied the ratings (I don't have the final numbers- sorry) and we had our results. 

In the end the clear winner was.... DOMINOS!!  I know I am shocked- that is now what I would have guessed.  Dominos had a slightly sweeter sauce and a good crust (not too crispy and not too soft).  Black jack was in second place but the crust was too soft and Little Ceasars crust was too thin and crunchy and their sauce was more spicy (which I kind of like).  It was also interesting to note that Dominos was the most expensive (maybe price does make it better?) BUT their slices were cut very crooked (not a deal breaker but annoying)! 

Ben made the Elder's eat till they were sick (seriously those poor guys) and we almost finished all pizza.  We introduced the Elder's to the joys of honey on pizza crust (it's like dessert at the end of each slice) and Elizabeth LOVED the pizza (she probably ate two pieces on her own).  It was great having the Elder's over and fun to have our Pizza Taste Test!!






With the WINNER!!!
