Rating 6 (of 12) Average

Randy says: After buying the Caesar salad and taking it to our table, I discovered I couldn't eat it. For one thing, the chicken was pink. I cannot abide undercooked chicken. Also the lettuce was all iceburg. Whoever heard of a Caesar made of iceburg? I didn't even get as far as putting on the dressing before I decided to get a Caesar salad made of only romaine from the Greek restaurant next door. Jeff's pizza had lots of garlic. The crust was disappointing — I think it's from frozen. I couldn't taste the veggies because there was too much cheese. I prefer a subtle pizza with less cheese.

Jeff says: The pizza was good. The bell peppers and onions were flavorful. The mushrooms were nicely cooked. The crust wasn't too thick or too thin. The pizza didn't seem that garlicky when I was eating it, but it did make me a little thirsty later in the afternoon. Often pizza is loaded with garlic, either in the sauce or sprinkled directly on top, in an attempt to compensate for the lack of flavor in the other ingredients used. I didn't feel that was the case here. Also speaking of garlic, I did sample Randy's unused Caesar dressing and it was good but very noticeably packed with garlic. Don't eat this if you have after lunch meetings!

Since Jeff liked the pizza and Randy thought it was ok but was very disappointed with the chicken Caesar salad, we decided to give Golfarelli's a middle-of-the-road rating and say we'd go back for more pizza. However, Golfarelli's is in the Sorrento Towers Food Court, and due to conditions explained on that page we will not be back any time soon.
