5 Buck Pizza Restaurant Review

John and I have a goal to go to every restaurant in Rexburg before we move out. That will be pretty easy since most places are super cheap and we only have twentyish restaurants left to visit in the next two years.

A new super cheap eatery opened up just a few weeks ago called 5 Buck Pizza. It's just as it sounds. They have 5 or 6 different pizzas that are 5 bucks. Since I've been here in Rexburg, everyone buys the $5 Hot and Ready Pizzas from Little Caesars and they do really well because, let's face it, college kids want more quantity with their five bucks than quality. After years of consuming Little Caesars pizza, it was time to move on for me. I dislike their pizzas, but breadsticks are good enough to live off of.

So, here's the review for 5 Buck Pizza located on Main Street.

Food Quality 5/10
It taste like a homemade pizza that I make. The crust had too much flour on it and had no extra seasoning. The sauce was also unseasoned, but tasted like any pizza sauce. I don't think they used real cheese and it was obvious. The top off the pizza was greasier than my face was in high school, but had fewer pepperonis. Maybe an average of 3 pepperoni pieces per slice. Normal, healthy people would probably soak up this excess grease with a sponge or several paper towels, but I just ate it.

Price 8/10
It was 5 bucks for a 14 inch. What more is there to say. Only, here is what I don't understand...

Notice that the Pizza logo says "All Toppings Free". Well, if the toppings are free, why does it cost more for pepperoni, sausage, and pineapple? That doesn't sound like free toppings.

Customer Service 9/10
They were nice, fast, and didn't pick their nose. Pretty good to me.

Cleanliness 6/10
You can watch them make the pizza. The area that they used to make the pizza looked clean, however, they did not wear gloves to put the toppings on. I even saw one girl handle the cash, then make a pizza. Of course, some of the germs are killed in the oven, but still doesn't cut it for me.

Atmosphere 6/10
They tried to make it a sports theme. The walls were decorated, but here's the thing. We are BYU-IDAHO students. Yet, all their sports stuff was from BYU Provo. Don't they understand that we always back talk BYU Provo? Why on earth paint the walls with autograph pictures from players that don't even play pro? Pathetic if you ask me.

Overall, I'd go there again. I wouldn't take my parents there for a gourmet meal, but I will go when I only have 5 bucks left in my budget and I'm too lazy to open a can of tuna.
