Foundation Brewing Company, Portland, ME

Yawn, holy crap! Has it been 5 years!? That was a long nap, what have I missed?

After waking up from my hibernation, I was thirsty and Hangry! So I jumped in the Slicemobile and headed north. First stop, @foundationbrew in Portland, ME. To be honest I went to this neck of the woods in #PorlandMaine to hit up the many breweries located on Industrial Way. Foundation’s only food option is Detroit style pizza. Since I have never had Detroit style, and, you know, The Golden Rule, I ordered up a cheese with mushrooms. The pizza came out looking great, see photo below and the taste was excellent. The dough was light, airy and crispy on the sides and not oily at all which can happened with deep dish style pies. As with Detroit style, the cheese was out to the edge and, as advertised, created a crispy cheese wall. There were generous spoonfuls of sauce on top of the cheese and finished with parmesan. The sauce, cheese and mushrooms where all high quality. Hard to fairly rate this given I have nothing to compare it to, that being said, this is a solid 7 out of 8 on the slice-o-meter. Combine this excellent pizza with delicious made on site craft beer and you will find yourself in pizza nirvana.

It’s been about a year since we visited Town Spa – for the Guy’s first review of “Pub Pies” – so we decided to head into Brockton to the original Cape Cod Cafe.  As with Town Spa, and with Lynnwood Café, Cape Cod Cafe is a legend in the Pub style pizza world of New England.  While all claim to have the best pub pizzas – they can’t all be #1 – so we have taken the challenge to rank them.  Our official Town Spa review was left without a score because we felt it was only fair to judge these particular pizzas against each other and not against other types of pizzas.  Since the Pub style pizza is prepared and cooked a different way we thought it was best to let the style hold up against its competitors on their own.  Cape Cod is in the heart of Brockton, where it’s been for over 60 years, and is a very nice family atmosphere.  Continue reading
