Camila's is the most recent discovery at the office, gaming some fame for its amazing dine in special, featuring 2 gourmet slices and a 20oz soda for $5 +Tax, do be advised however there IS a .35 charge to use credit or debit cards on any purchase under $10.
Suffice to say i've heard a lot about Camila's over the last few weeks, and now most of the office has gotten to at least try it so this past saturday when a friend of mine said he was going to be swinging by on his lunch hour to pick up a couple slices i tossed him my card and said surprise me.
The gourmet slices available on any given day varies so you never know what will be available, knowing this, I rolled the dice and he returned with a Sausage and Chicken parm slice respectably, MTN Dew for the drink, I've heard very good things about about there Steak slices being loaded up with meat, and their buffalo chicken slices being superb.
The slices are reheated in the oven in typical pizzeria fashion, and lay on the stiffer side if the spectrum which i know some people will appreciate. Cheese to sauce ratio is excellent, little to no slippage, very little grease or oil while still maintaining a respectable but understated flavor profile. The sauce was nice, think seasoned, not sweet. (I prefer it this way but taste is subjective.) Most importantly Camila's cuts all of their slices into 6ths not 8ths, making for very large slices, which appeals to my appetite.
The cubed breaded chicken on the parm was fantastic, a tiny bit of crunch to the breading, the sausage however was a tier below the parm, not bad by any means, but just not as flavorful as i'm used to. Usually i don't go for slices of pizza for lunch, i'm more of a pizza at parties kind of guy, but i couldn't turn down a chance to try it out, and i agree with the office- its quite good. Ome gripe i do have is the fountain drinks, it seem like the syrup mixture is a little on the low side, i've been drinking this stuff so long i can tell immediately if someone's below recommended.
Plus, in an odd way this is an homage to one of my favorite yelpers, my very own" two slices and drink review only." I can't imagine how he'd feel about flavor, but I think he'd appreciate the texture behind Camilla's.
So yeah, less than $6 for 1/3rd of a specialty pizza + 20oz, that's quite decent, especially since very good pizza around my work is very hard to find, While Camila's doesn't pack the flavor punch i'm a sucker for, they're now the local texture king.
