I swear I live on an island that separates me from good pizza. As you can probably tell, I'm quite vocal about my pizza taste. So I tell everyone around here that the pizza is trash. I get lots of recommendations. I give the benefit of the doubt. I heard a place that got a lot of recommendations around here. Even had someone on one of my Chicago Style Pizza FB groups recommend this place. Not sure why because it's not even remotely close to the same style. It's the typical Michigan style thin crust (for those that don't know: Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's style).
The place is called Licaris Sicilian Pizza Kitchen. They have "VOTED THE BEST PIZZA IN MICHIGAN" written all over their menu. Since it's one of those fake, pretending-to-be-from-Italy places, they actually listed it as "PIZZE". Whatever the hell that means. I ordered a small pizza with pepperoni on it.
Pizza came out and it looked like it was actually cooked well, which I thought was a good sign. The cheese was actually a shade of white (so many places out here put this goofy ass blend that has so much yellow cheese in it. Terrible. Greasy. Slimey. Gross). Pull a slice and it's not super floppy or too greasy. All good signs. Take a bite annnnnnnddd. Blah. Crust was like a bad version of Pizza Hut. Almost cardboard like. The sauce was that average Italian style that is basically just pure tomatoes put into a blender. It had some chunky spots (which I like under the right conditions) but those were only out at the crust. The cheese was actually right, and the pepperoni was pretty good, which were the only redeeming qualities of this pizza. Needless to say, I'm quite disappointed.
Score: 6/10. Probably wouldn't go back.
I seriously need to open a pizzeria out here. The only reason people eat this slop is because they don't know any better.
