<strong>CC Tomatoes</strong></p><p><strong>209 Fisherville Road, 753-4450</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>Taste: 4</em></p><p><em>Variety: 4</em></p><p><em>Size: 4</em></p><p> </p><p>Comments: Excellent sauce-to-cheese ratio and a flavorful sauce (just what we should have expected for a place with “Tomatoes” in the name).
<strong>Checkmate Pizza</strong></p><p><strong>41 Washington St., 228-0555</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>Taste: 4.5</em></p><p><em>Variety: 3</em></p><p><em>Size: 3.5</em></p><p> </p><p>Comments: There was something special in the cheese blend that set it apart from most other places. It had a nice, doughy crust.
<strong>Constantly Pizza</strong></p><p><strong>39 S. Main St., 224-9366 and 108 FIsherville Road, 227-1117</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>Taste: 4.5</em></p><p><em>Variety: 5</em></p><p><em>Size: 4</em></p><p> </p><p>Comments: Traditional style. It had a thin bottom crust but a fluffy “holding area.” The slice we had was billed as “cheese,” but could have easily passed for “extra cheese.”
<strong>Dallas Pizza</strong></p><p><strong>156 N. State Street, 226-4272</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>Taste: 3</em></p><p><em>Variety: 3</em></p><p><em>Size: 3</em></p><p> </p><p>Comments: We got to Dallas right at the end of lunchtime, which might explain the borderline stale slice we received. If it had been fresh, it probably would have been all right, but it wasn’t, so it was mediocre.</p><p> </p><p>
<strong>Sal's Pizza</strong></p><p><strong>80 Storrs St., 226-0297</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>Taste: 3.5</em></p><p><em>Variety: 5</em></p><p><em>Size: 5</em></p><p> </p><p>Comments: The slice was a little dry (is there such a thing as “not greasy enough?”), but Sal’s more than made up for it with the multitude of different toppings it offers, as well as its giant slice size.
<strong>Vinnie's Pizzaria</strong></p><p><strong>200 S. Main St., 224-7727</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>Taste: 5</em></p><p><em>Variety: 4.5</em></p><p><em>Size: 4.5</em></p><p> </p><p>Comments: Just a little smaller than Sal’s, but such a delicious slice! Perfect cheese-browning technique, a crunchy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside crust and a light, flavorful sauce make for an excellent lunch.
<strong>Xtra Chz</strong></p><p><strong>249 Sheep Davis Road, 856-8830</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>Taste: 3.5</em></p><p><em>Variety: 3</em></p><p><em>Size: 3.5</em></p><p> </p><p>Comments: This was a good – not great – slice. Nothing about it stood out. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s right down the middle.
<strong>Yellow Submarine</strong></p><p><strong>374 Loudon Road, 856-8008</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>Taste: 3.5</em></p><p><em>Variety: 3</em></p><p><em>Size: 4</em></p><p> </p><p>Comments: A nice big slice here, if a little salty-tasting. Otherwise unremarkable.
<strong>And the winner is ...</strong></p><p> </p><p>With a score of 14 out of 15 pizzas, Vinnie’s Pizzaria takes the cake – um, pie – in this competion, narrowly edging out Sal’s.<br />We can’t say that we didn’t enjoy judging this competion, but we will allow that we need to judge either a “Best Treadmills” or a “Top Sweatpants Retailers” contest pretty soon.
You know how it is, Concord. Sometimes you just want to grab a quick slice of ’za for lunch. We asked our readers to tell us their favorite slice joints, and then we checked them out ourselves! We rated each place on a five-pizza scale in the following categories: taste, size and variety. Enjoy.
