ピザトーストコレクション

The overwhelming impression this slice makes is one of tonkatsu sauce and cheese. There is tomato-y pizza sauce spread on the toast itself, and a sprinkling of lettuce and ham adds an accent, but you’re in for a sweet, gooey time here. Not really my thing, so consider this a low 3.

The gang (onions, peppers, mushrooms) is all here, and their flavors shine. Perfectly gooey cheese. A four-star if I ever chomped one.

Despite the nice topping lineup, the flavor was not quite there.

Location: Guchi Possibly the weirdest pizza toast I’ve ever had? It’s more like onion jam with cheese or something. Not that it was sweet, per se, besides the natural sweetness of the onion (which was sweet), but there was nothing pizza-y about it in the slightest. Some places just decide if it has melted cheese on top, it’s pizza. I’m not gonna say it was bad or anything, but it was not “good pizza toast.”

An attractive slice with tasty pepperoni and I want to say two of the three classic veggies. The only issue I had with it was that the sauce felt too sweet. This shop is all about bread and toast, so that part of it was great.

The star of this slice is the sauteed onion. It goes delightfully with the ham and cheese. Frankly, it’s rare to find onion caramelized like this on pizza toast. The toast was toasted lightly and to be frank, the sauce (?) was so light it almost seemed like a mistake. This doesn’t taste like pizza at all, but it’s delicious, so I can’t complain too much.

Location: Caravan Coffee A pretty much perfect classic slice. The cheese is delicious and so gooey. They use some fancy ketchup and top with all the traditional veggies plus ham. Nice thickness of bread properly toasted. Honestly, I want to go back and eat it again.

This saucy slice with ham and peppers is thinner than most pizza toasts, and I feel like there could have been more cheese, but it had a lot of flavor. Good spices in the sauce and the rare addition of yellow bell peppers. Frankly, I just want two of them to come as a set.

What a charming slice! This is the bacon pizza toast, although it seemed more hammy to me. She also does a tuna corn pizza toast, and a plain one with just cheese and sauce. The bread is homemade and toasted to a perfect crunch, though the inside is fluffy. What can I say? I feel the love.

At first I was thinking this might be a three, but as I kept eating, the ingredients disappointed me. The bread felt pointless,the sauce was only slightly better than the one I panned the other day, and those bitter little sprouts, though appreciated, don’t make up for the lack of depth. I wanted to like it (and look at that stylish presentation; weird how one of the middle pieces is brought to the end), but it just didn’t happen.
