Food Review: Australia's Pizza House - The Bad Boy

PIZZA - THE QUINTESSENTIAL SATURDAY NIGHT FEED

If you want a quick Pizza, there are the big chains - Domino's or Pizza Hut, there is the local independent or a chain such as Australia's Pizza House.

Based in South Australia, it claims to be number one for pick ups... women - there might be a line or two that might get thrown your way!

Their advertising boasts "Real Pizza, Real Prices".

Their website http://www.australiaspizzahouse.com has a downloadable menu, however, you cannot order online, nor is there an app available.

The menu is quite considerable - offering gluten free and wholemeal base alternatives. Types of Pizza range from the Kid's favourite of Vegemite and Cheese all the way to "The Lot".

Today, I am reviewing "The Bad Boy".

The Bad Boy consists of Tomato sauce, cheese, roasted capsicum, sun dried tomato, kalamata olives, pepperoni & chili, on a regular base.

So, the order was placed on the phone, and 10 minutes later I was on my way to pick up the pizza. The smell in the car was driving me crazy on the way home, so I snuck a piece at the traffic lights.

A fair representation of the pizza topping

So, what did it taste like?

Base: Base was good for those who like a regular base. My preference is for thin and crispy, however the regular base was of good consistency, and not oily like some. I have encountered some pizza bases that are not thoroughly cooked, this pizza base is cooked to perfection.

Topping: Generous helpings of kalamata olives, Pepperoni, sun dried tomato and capsicum makes this pizza one of the best dressed pizzas in town, but the chili finishes off the pizza beautifully.

Review: When combined, the pizza is my current favourite. The taste of the kalamata olives, texture of the pepperoni, the bursting flavour ot the sun dried tomato fills the palate, and tantalizes the taste buds. The after taste of chili lingering on the lips leaves me just wanting another piece.

With the cheaper pizzas, you often have to quench your thirst regularly due to the amount of salt in their ingredients to boost their flavour. Not with The Bad Boy, Australia's Pizza House must somehow limit the use of salt - probably because the ingredients they use are both generous in helpings and good quality.

Scores:

Taste: 8/10
Presentation: 7/10 - from a pizza point of view, it has plenty of coverage
Value for Money: 8/10 - I wont lie, there are cheaper, but honestly, its worth the extra.

Perfect for the Saturday night in front of the TV watching Collingwood thrash Carlton with your mates.

My Bogan tick of Approval is given to Australia's Pizza House "The Bad Boy" Pizza. Try it, you wont be disappointed.
