On this excursion to taste a fresh pizza pie cooked in 5 minutes, I ended up having an amazing experience ordering a customized pizza at Pieology. Located off of 16th street in Downtown Sacramento, Pieology serves up a Chipotle style pizza experience with small-sized pizza at affordable prices. You enter a line where you watch your pizza become topped with toppings of your choosing. In addition to the pre-made selections available on the menu you are able to make your own pizza with unlimited types of toppings for $7.95. As you go through each stage of the pizza-creation process, the staff behind the counter obey your command as to what toppings to include.

Today, I used the house-made crust with red sauce and mozzarella cheese. Then, I proceeded to try something different and add spinach and corn. When it came to mean, I asked for all the meat, which included pepperoni, sausage, meatball, chicken, spicy chicken, ham, and bacon. After ordering, the staff bake the pizza in the oven as I pay the cashier. I was given a number tag to bring back to the table. Around 5 minutes later, the manager brought over my delicious-looking pizza. The crust is very thin, which allows for the fast cooking times. There is just enough crust to give the pizza enough body to hold all the toppings together. There was not a ton of oil on the pizza, which I really appreciated and made the pizza taste more healthy. The ingredients tasted fresh and I was not overwhelmed by any one topping. There was some slight burning of the edges, but that did not detract from the flavor much.

Overall, Pieology serves up delicious pizza customized to your liking served in record time. I was very happy with my pizza creation and can’t wait to go back and try it again. If you love pizza and are looking for something completely different from your standard pizza joint, then give Pieology a shot. The people were nice, and the ambiance was relaxing. Make sure you review the available toppings before you get to the counter because you have many choices to choose from.
