Reviews for Rumi's Pizza

12/13/2014 - Redstate
The shop is small and the dining area is "minimalist" and cluttered with a stack of pizza industry magazines in the corner. The TV was set to a Spanish language soap opera channel - so unless you speak the language, it's not very entertaining. We ordered the Hawaiian and Supreme Plus pizzas. The toppings were okay and in decent quantity. The Hawaiian had coconut in addition to the traditional ham and pineapple - which sounded like an interesting addition but I couldn't really taste it. The crust was the real downfall of the pizza. I think the crust stays frozen until they pull it out of the freezer to make a pizza. The crust was thin to start with, but only the very bottom and edges got cooked. The majority of the dough, the part between the toppings and the paper thin bottom of the crust that actually browned, stayed raw and had a slimy gelatin-like consistency which made the pizza gummy and chewy. The price was very reasonable and the toppings were good so it gets two stars. The gummy pizza crust was a real spoiler as was the parlor atmosphere. If they de-clutter the shop, spend a little more money on furnishings and (most importantly) thaw their crusts before cooking they will get better reviews. If they thaw the crusts they might have to throw out a few at the end of the night but they will have a lot more return business. Sadly, I won't know if they profited from this advice since I won't be going back.
