Review of Sal & Mookie's

I had a disappointing experience, compared to everyone else. I ordered the cauliflower crust and had them indicate gluten allergy on the ticket. But when I got my pizza it was so soft and soggy, basically seemed uncooked. It was inedible. So I brought it up to the counter to explain and show them. I was told it’s a bit softer than other crusts because the put oil on the pan to prevent cross contamination, so it doesn’t crisp up. But I can’t eat it like that, so I asked if there was anything they could do.

I waited for a bit and they brought me a new pizza with crispier crust this time. The guy that brought it explained the oil thing again. And said that this time, they used an oven that hadn’t been used yet that day (they thoroughly clean them every day) so that they could cook it without the oil and I wouldn’t get cross contaminated. I thanked him for the effort, and he seemed very concerned about not making me sick, which I appreciated.

The second pizza was much better and it probably more like what others have also reported here. He told me if I return, to request my pizza this way instead of with the oil.

I’m not sure if I’ll be back. I tend to mostly stay away from pizza places, but tried them based on the reviews here. I’m not trying to tell anyone to stay away, but my experience was less than stellar.
