Mrs. Pizza took Pizza Boy to a birthday party Saturday.  The hosts ordered from Perrini's Pizzeria & Ristorante on 441 in Boca Greens, Boca Raton, FL  (561)488-4371.  Mrs. Pizza did not care for it.    She thought it was doughy and lacked taste.

As I have discussed in previous posts, often pizza arrives at a birthday party cold, and sometimes appears that the pizzeria didn’t put as much care into the pizza as they normally do.  This is what I think happened today.  In their rush to get the pizza out the door, this wonderful little restaurant did not cook the pizza’s through.  This lack of caring is a problem many restaurants face, and may be exacerbated by Perrini's birthday party special (5 or more pies for $8.99 each).

Since I happened to be in that very same shopping center with Pizza Jr. (my daughter), we decided that we have some pizza for lunch.  Perrini's is often regarded by some of the locals out in western Boca Raton as the best around.  I didn’t particularly notice it before, and haven’t been there in a while, so I was excited to see if the locals had any merit to their opinions.   The restaurant was very busy, so we sat at a small plastic table outside.  We ordered from the waitress who was very pleasant even though they were crushed.  Our pizza was very good, hot and fresh from the oven.  So Perrini's gets 5 out of 8 slices (a good score from me).  You would do well to eat here if you are in the area.  Just make sure to eat it fresh.
