Taste of Tempe

     About a year ago, after drinking more than a few cold beers with a friend on a lazy Sunday afternoon, we started to get hungry. We soon decided a nice hot pizza with an order of wings would satisfy our cravings, and all was well, at least until the conversation quickly turned into a debate about who had the best pizza in Tempe.  Both of us feverently and passionately argued for our personal favorites, but neither of us was willing to concede.

     Ryan claimed Tesio's was the best pizza in town while I felt Venezia's clearly had the better pie. There was only one way to settle this, order the same thing from both restaurants and see who had the best food.

     We soon realized that the tastiest pie was only one of several aspects that these titans of pizza should be judged on. Quickly we devised a list of catagories to compare the two restuarants. The list included delivery time, accuracy of order, price, how courteous the employees were, who had the best special, and of course taste.

     It was a fun exercise, and we decided it would be fun to blog our results, unfortunately the 'official' record from our first competition has since been lost. (The winner was Tesios, but only by a slim margin)

     Since we no longer have the score card from this first competition the blog will start with the last battle, Tesio's vs. newcomer Mr G's Pizza.

The rules are simple:

1. The same exact order is placed with both pizza places.
2. Neither restuarant is informed about the competition until after the pizza is delivered to prevent any special treatment.
3. Both restaurants are guaged by price, delivey time, employee courtesy, accuracy of order, best specials, and most important; Taste!
4. After the competition is over we inform both restaurants of the results.
