Classic Pepperoni Pizza from Barnes & Noble

When I was at Barnes & Noble I was really hungry and didn't just want a sandwich so I ended up trying their 8-in stone fired pepperoni pizza.

The pizza wasn't very saucy (which I like), and it had a thin crust. The crust tasted sort of like a salty and soft cracker. The pizza was seasoned with oregano, and it was a little salty and oily. The pepperonis on the pizza were savory and a little spicy. Overall, the pizza wasn't too bad, and it was good enough to satisfy my hunger at the time.

REVIEW – Oregano’s Pizza Bistro: The Original Bollo Pasta

Oreganos Bollo Angel Hair Pasta with Sausage

I had some of Oregano's Bollo Angel Hair Pasta. It was ordered to-go with marinara sauce and sausage on the side.

Oreganos Bollo Angel Hair Pasta with Sausage

The spicy marinara sauce looks thick, kind of like tomato paste. It isn't actually very spicy at all, and I don't really like the marinara sauce because it is too tangy for me. The angel hair pasta is OK, but nothing special. The sausage is a little spicy, but it is very salty.

I prefer this pasta with very little of the marinara sauce and with Parmesan cheese and sausage added to cut out any sweetness / tangy-ness.

I wouldn't buy this pasta myself -- I would rather buy angel hair pasta and a jar of pasta sauce at the grocery store. However, if you like tangy marinara sauce, then I guess this could be a great pasta for you.

Pepperoni Pizza from Costco Food Court

The pepperoni pizza from the Costco food court is pretty good. It is a little oily on top of the pizza, but both the pizza crust and pepperoni slices are nice and crispy. The pizza sauce is more salty than sweet (which I like), and the pizza doesn't have an overwhelming amount of sauce or cheese. The slice you get is also pretty big... it often has a hard time fitting on the plate!
