Then theres others that should have gotten much higher scores. It does depend on how he feels that day. This pizza is literally burnt cheese with a cardboard bottom. I hope they make a ton off his review but at the same time this will be another review that only dave will think is a 9.1

    This reminds me of the the movie spanglish where Adam Sandler plays a chef who wants a good review but not a great one. He knows he will will have to work extra hard, be swamped with reservations, everyone will have the highest expectations, and his regulars will have to take a back seat to all the new people that want to try his food. You just want a solid 8.
