First pizza of the year, and it's incredible! I've never had Shelly Pie, but I've heard great reviews and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It's everything you want in a pizza place: good variety of toppings, good crust, nice sauce, menu items other than pizza, etc. I tried the classic cheese pizza and a cheese calzone.
Both of them were excellent. The pizza is absolutely humongous! A large, which is $15, was a whopping 19"! Other places have that size at $22...great deal here! The our crust is thicker than average but it's quality. They are heavy on the cheese, which I personally like. Expect it to be messy as they are also pretty liberal with the sauce and very liberal with toppings from what I've seen. When the box came I did notice the pizza isn't perfectly uniform, but honestly, who cares? It tastes great and they use quality ingredient, offer good flavors, and fantastic prices.
The calzone was also great. Very large! I shared mine and 1/2 a calzone is enough for a filling meal. It is stuffed with a whole lot of (mozzarella I think) cheese and ricotta. The bread part if the calzone was crispy and had butter and/or garlic in the top. Perfect. Heavy and delicious. The sauce was also wonderful. Came with a whole mini bowl of it, and the sauce had a nice sweetness with some herbs too.
Overall, you can't beat these portion sizes or prices. Plenty of high quality leftovers. While someone in my household didn't love it, I thought it was great (said it looked sloppy and poorly made, but again, why does it really matter). Anytime I'm in Turtle Creek, I'll try to stop by! ~Ulyan
