#15 - Delivery Pizza Blindfold Taste Test @ The Rhode's House

To Deliver or not to Deliver...

That is the question.  We ranked 4 of the chain delivery pizzas to see which would be the best to order.  In this we included: Domino's, Little Caesars, Papa John's and Pizza Hut.  The catch though was everyone was blindfolded while they tasted their pizza.  A big thank you to Neil, Brendan, and Tom for joining us on this adventure!

Food

In order to keep a control with this taste test, we ordered cheese pizzas from all locations.  We also included a pallet cleanser - lemon sorbet - to take this experience just one step further.

Taste Test

On the score sheet, we asked everyone to rank the pizzas in the order of their initial preference if they were to order from one of the 4 places (1st is their preferred):

Brendan - Domino's, Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Little Caesars

Tom - Domino's, Pizza Hut, Little Caesars, Papa John's

Neil - Little Caesars, Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's

Chris - Papa John's, Little Caesars, Domino's, Pizza Hut

The score sheet asked everyone to rank each slice based on cheese, sauce, crust, and overall flavor on a scale of 1 (not tasty) - 4 (tasty).  The highest score that could be given was 16 points.

Round 1 (Little Caesars)
Brendan's score - 3
Tom's score - 7
Neil's score - 5
Chris's score - 8

Round 2 (Domino's)
Brendan's score - 10
Tom's score - 11
Neil's score - 12
Chris's score - 10

Round 3 (Pizza Hut)

Brendan's score - 8

Tom's score - 7

Neil's score - 9

Chris's score - 5

Round 4 (Papa John's)

Brendan's score - 5

Tom's score - 4

Neil's score - 6

Chris's score - 4

Recommendation

If you're going to order delivery pizza from one of these chains, the consensus was to order from Domino's.  Everyone ended up ranking this one first overall out of all 4 rounds.  Some of the comments were "Not bad overall", "Could eat multiple pieces", "Was cheesy", and "Crust was pretty good."

*Note - all pizzas were kept warm in the oven, in their boxes, at the same temperature throughout the whole taste testing.

Stop #14 - Falcos Pizza

FALCO'S PIZZA

Normally I was able to keep up with everything but we got busy over the last few months and found out we are expecting our first baby in early December! So the pizza tour and blog went by the wayside for a few months while the taste buds were adjusting.

Falco's is/was a go-to especially when we visit our Aunt Jody in Willowbrook.  It is a quick stop you can make off of I-55 and Rt. 83/Kingery Highway with dine-in or carry-out.  They have made renovations and added in a bar area in the larger dining room with several televisions above the bar as well.

When we went in it was not very crowded but it was for lunch on a weekend.  We have seen it much more busy over the dinner hours.

I'm sorry there isn't more to include at this time like usual (I can't even find the pictures that I took), but we do recommend Falco's if you are in the Burr Ridge area.  As the usual blogs did include, here is Rhode's Recommendation:
