Subway, Dunkin' Donuts Roll Out Pizza
Yesterday morning, Lia alerted me to the fact that Subway has started to roll out personal pizzas in a few test stores in Manhattan's East Village. The sandwich chain plans to serve the mini pies nationwide by June.
Of course, I had to rush out to try it. Speaking of "rush," isn't the saying "fools rush in where angels fear to tread?" Yeah. I think it is. You can read about Subway's personal pizza on Slice, Serious Eats's pizza blog. Short take: The pizza (starting at $2.99 for cheese, pictured above) ain't so good.
In other who's-serving-pizza-now news, Dunkin' Donuts is jumping on the bandwagon. Chicagoist tried out Dunkin's wares and found them overpriced:
The deep dish-looking pizza has the exact same flavor as the frozen Bagel Bites we ate as kids, which isn't a bad thing. The crust isn't really crusty, but more like hot bread, and the sauce has that standard fake pizza sauce flavor with assorted bits of basil. The cheese was just as nondescript, but acceptable. We ordered pepperoni but didn't really see a lot of pepperoni.
Sounds about the same as what I encountered.

I still can't believe Subway had the stones to try their scary little pizzas out in NEW YORK of all places, where there is better, cheaper pizza on every other block.

Yeah. It's not like you can't get a better slice on any corner for cheaper. Even for non-New Yorkers with limited access to by-the-slice pizza, well, if you were really craving pizza, I'd suggest doing a Pizza Hut personal pan or splitting a whole pie with friends, coworkers, or family. This thing is not a good pizza.

We've had the personal pizzas here in North Carolina for a few months... They really taste sketchy...

Yeah. I detected a sort of metallic aftertaste with mine. Yech.
