" I had a disappointing experience at Professor Pizza. The service was excessively slow and our appetizer came out after the pizza, which was frustrating. I ordered the creamy vodka sauce pizza, but sadly, it fell short on flavor and had a floppy crust. The only highlight was the garlic knots, but even they weren't anything special. I had high expectations based on the reviews, but I don't think I would return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try this place after hearing great things. I had the Detroit-style pizza, and while the flavor was decent, the crust was overly thick and chewy for my taste. We also ordered some garlic knots, and they were okay but not great. The prices are quite high compared to other pizza spots I've been to, and the wait time was longer than expected. Maybe I’ll return to give it another shot, but it wasn’t the best. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Professor Pizza last week and was pleasantly surprised! The Grandma-style crust is absolutely divine with the perfect crispy finish. The sauce had a beautiful fresh flavor that was not overly tangy, just the right balance. My friends and I sampled a few different types of pizzas and each one had a distinct personality, showing the chef's creativity. Service was a bit slow, but our server was very friendly and accommodating. Overall, a lovely experience! I'll definitely be back to try more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh wow! What a fantastic pizza experience! I had the vodka sauce pizza, and I think it's one of the best I've ever tried! The dough was fluffy yet crispy, and the sauce was creamy with bursts of flavor. My friends tried the Taco pizza which was unique and tasty. The atmosphere was bustling, and the service was friendly. I definitely found my new favorite pizza spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing overall. The pizzas looked fantastic, but the flavors weren’t strong enough, and the crust was too thick for my liking. Also, the prices were quite steep—definitely not in line with the quality. I asked for recommendations from the service staff, and they didn’t seem confident, which made me second guess my choices. I won’t be returning, but I appreciate the effort they put in. " (*Curated Review*)

" A solid pizza spot with a lot to offer! I ordered the NY-style pizza and while it was quite good, I found it to be slightly overcooked. The service, however, was friendly and quick, which made the experience enjoyable. The atmosphere is nice, and it wasn't too noisy, which I like. Overall, the restaurant gets a thumbs up from me, and I would consider returning to try other flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was genuinely disappointed by my visit. I was expecting something extraordinary, but it just didn’t hit the mark. The pepperoni pizza was bland, and the crust didn’t have the right crunch I was hoping for. The service staff seemed disorganized, which didn't help. I don't think I'll be back based on this experience. " (*Curated Review*)
