Have you ever tried the Veraci pizza sold at the Fremont weekend market? It’s perfect in its cooking, dough texture, pie thickness and flavor, dough to cheese ratio, and cheese to sauce ratio. The Commons offer, alas!, fails to impress. It is just a standard, slightly above average, Northwest pizza. If you’re a NY pizza fan like me, this is a no go. I tried the basic cheese pizza. For starters, unlike the Fremont mobile stand, where pizzas are quickly disappearing in hungry mouths, the ones at the Commons seem to sit for too long, which may account for the dough feeling rather soggy. Also, the regular cheese slice comes with so much cheese I had to double check I hadn’t asked for extra cheese. It’s good to have pizza on campus, I just wish it maintained the same standard I have come to expect from Veraci.
