Dear Pizzapeople,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Fantasy<\/p><\/div>\n

I bought a Mystic Pizza 3 Pack Mediterranean Style from Costco in San Francisco on about May 1st, 2011. It reads \u201cBest if used by Dec 24 11 12:40\u201d
\nI wanted to enjoy your pizza, but I\u2019m sad to say it was very disappointing.<\/p>\n

The directions say to bake for 10-12 minutes at 450. Clearly a pie this thick won\u2019t be done in 10 minutes. We were further surprised that the pie still wasn\u2019t cooked through after 24 minutes. After all that time, the bottom still wasn\u2019t brown or crisp, and the center of the pie was still gummy and underdone. My oven is well calibrated, it was cooked on the middle rack with no cookie sheet under it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Reality<\/p><\/div>\n

The toppings were spread very poorly. The comments from my roommate say it well, \u201cThe vegetables are all lumped in a frozen pile in the middle. Who wants lumps of soggy spinach on their pizza?\u201d One slice had a pile of peppers, another slice had a pile of olives that should have been chopped more. None of the toppings were mixed in with the pizza, they sat on top in great heaps. My roommate and I differed about the feta cheese; she enjoyed it but I thought it tasted and had the mouth feel of cream cheese, which does not belong on a pizza.<\/p>\n

Maybe it was just the poor toppings, but after a few bites, I wanted to go out and buy some real pizza to wash the taste out of my mouth.<\/p>\n

Keep trying!
