Pizza review - here it is, my opinion. This was my first wood-fired pizza (and I've had lots from lots of different places) that had a soft bottom and the dough is more on the thin side then thick side. Same with leoparding - never had a wood-fired that didn't have a beautiful pattern of leoparding. It's very possible they pulled the pizza off the stone before it was done.
The very top of the crust had a few burn marks...way less then normal for a wood-fired pizza.
There was plenty of cheese and it seemed fresh - I base that on the string factor when separating and pulling slices out. If it strings then its fresh cheese - at least that's my belief. The cheese had a slight after taste that I've never experienced from any other pizza place. It wasn't distasteful - just odd.
The sauce had a very slight bite (as in spicy) to it. I was ok with that. Beyond that, nothing spectacular.
Cup and char pepperoni (C&C). My experience is whenever a restaurant offers C&C they also offer traditional pepperoni. I thought I heard on one of the marketing vids for sawgrass that Frenchy's was using C&C. When I ordered I asked if they have C&C. The Frenchy employee taking my order didn't know what cup and char pepperoni was.
The peps on my pizza were C&C. However, they were the thinnest thicknesses of C&C I've ever seen and they had next to no taste...possible due to their tissue paper thinness.
The sausage was mediocre....at best.
Our pizza was piping hot and cheesy and I was starving. I was satisfied with it - but there will be no Frenchy's in my future.
If I find myself in the southern area and wanted pizza - I'd go to Piesanos in Lake Deaton (10 minute car drive from sawgrass). As a qualifier - I haven't had a Piesanos pizza in over a year so I don't know the current quality.

Well, you know what they say about pizza.
A pizza is like sex. Even if it's bad, it's still pretty good.
