The amount of slices I put in the review was based without condiment. Based on the scale, I think I rated it appropriately at the bare minimum to be considered edible.

haha, Craig, it's just hot garlic pastey stuff. If you put garlic on your pizza and don't mind heat, sriracha can help. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't desecrate the pizza from L&B or Totonno's with stuff like that. But it adds flavor to average or mediocre pies.

However, David is right too. This is a pizza review site. Asking "what can we add to a bad pizza to make it good?" seems like a deviation, and not really a useful guide to other prospective diners--other than, of course, that we are able to immediately understand that this is a place that can't stand on its own merit.

This might just be my opinion, but I'd say that of you're going to review a pizza place, keep it about how the pie tastes when it comes out of the oven, rather than about how well you've masked its flavor.

I'm sure it tastes very nice...but once you put "Mexican Bacon Salt" on a pizza, it is no longer a pizza and is then more like something that you would find at California Pizza Kitchen...

My original point was that if something is SO bad that the only way to salvage it is to use a topping that tastes great on watermelon, then it does not belong here and has no business earning a 4-slice rating.

The only condiments that have any place on a pizza:

garlic, parmesan, crushed red peppers, and sriracha or perhaps Tabasco sauce.

I can't rip on Tajin without having tried it. There are some that have not experienced the bliss of sriracha atop a cheese slice and would not understand.

Maybe I'll try this.

Oh come on, it's just salt, ground chili and evaporated lime juice.

Have either of you tried Tajin before? This stuff works awesome on everything including Watermelon. What happened to being opened minded till you try something yourself?

Shame on worstpizza.com for giving authority or credibility to anyone who can actually desecrate a pizza with "Mexican Bacon Salt"!

I don't care how bad it is...use garlic powder, or oregano, or even dried basil if that's what floats your boat...but Mexican Bacon Salt?

...You won't see THAT on the table at Nino's!
