Toppings were excellent and crust was good except the crust in his restaurants is made by angels. This was a bit too crunchy. The pizzas are 3/4 cooked when frozen and shipped. I heated on the gas grill. Classy move to include a little bottle of good olive oil to drizzle on his frozen pizzas.

Who was the criminal? If it was juicy and flavorful, I hope they received a suspended sentence.
