GREAT PIZZA SAUCE
By Foodcritic from East Bay Drive, March 15, 2009

Overall rating:
4

I have eaten at Pizza Shack about 5 times. Their pizza sauce is excellent. It has just the right amount of spices and tartness to compliment their pizza.
They serve free garlic knots with some dipping sauce while you are waiting. They put a generous amount of cheese on the pizza. I believe it is Grande Cheese from Wisconsin.

The dough/crust is a medium thickness, not the common New York Style thin crust like many pizzerias try to reproduce. The dough is good, but probably the weakest link of the pizza. I rate their pizza about an 8.5 out of 10.

If you combined Cappy's Pizza crust/dough and Pizza Shack's sauce and cheese you would create a 9.5+ pizza. The result would easily be the best pizza in the area. I think Cappy's uses the same cheese as Pizza Shack, but Pizza Shack uses more of it on each pizza.

I wrote a review for Cappy's Pizzeria stating that Cappy's needs to spice up their sauce. Pizza Shack's sauce would be a good example for Cappy's to follow.

Great food and service
By ClancydaCop from Seminole, September 22, 2008

We have been eating at Pizza Shack for years. They have the best pizza and antipasto in Florida and the garlic breadsticks are to die for. Sort of a "Cheers" atmosphere with the U shaped bar in the center and outside tables for the smokers and those who like the great outdoors. All this and prices are right, too!
