Snappy Tomato Pizza Co.

One of the better snappy pizzas I’ve had in a while. Ask for your pizza well done!

This was my first ever encounter with a Snappy Tomato pizza. I had worked late on a Friday night and decided I did not want to cook when I got home and wanted to try someplace new. I have seen many locations around the area, but never tried one.
Not having a menu, I walked in and ordered at the counter. The young woman at the counter was very friendly, but when I asked if the thin crust was crispy, she had to turn and ask an associate. Assured that the thin crust is, indeed, crispy, I ordered a medium supreme (pepperoni, mushrooms, sausage, onions & green peppers) and was told it would be ready in appx 15 minutes. I made a quick run to the convenient Kroger Liquor and when I got back 13 minutes late my pizza was waiting for me. (Yay)
The short drive back to my apartment (literally, 2 minutes, max) promised something good was in the box. I will admit here that I am not a big fan of the Cincinnati favorite, La Rosa’s. The sauce is too sweet for me, I prefer something tangy, with more of a bite to it. The smell coming from the pizza box promised a sauce more to my liking. I quickly hung up my coat, put away my work things, turned on the TV, opened a beer and the pizza box. It looked promising, nice big pieces of green pepper and mushrooms, a thin crust, crispy around the edges as promised, so I settled in on the couch with 3 or 4 pieces (not slices) on my plate.
Pretty good. The sauce’s flavor did not quite live up to the olfactory promise. Maybe there just wasn’t enough of it. And after those first pieces, the crust was no longer crispy, but, again, overall, pretty good, just not what I was hoping for.
I will give them a try again, maybe try the original crust or even their Chicago Style, and when I do I will report back.
Based on this experience, I would rate them roughly equal to Dominoes, but not as good as Donato’s or even Papa Murphy’s Take & Bake.

Sure they have a catchy jingle, but Snappy Tomato needs more than a memorable market to change my mind about their less than praiseworthy pizzas. While the pizzas are cheaper than many of their competitors, Snappy cuts costs by using low quality ingredients and skimping on cheese and sauce. The crust is thick but too chewy for my liking.
If you’re looking to feed a crowd, then Snappy’s Beast is probably the best option. Each six pound pizza serves 8 – 10 adults. Coupons are available in many weekly mailers, so you can probably grab a Beast for about twenty bucks. Hey, even mediocre pizza is still pleases a crowd.
I’ll give Snappy credit for innovation; they’re always coming up with new ways to top a pizza. For instance, their Ranch and Chicken Ranch pizzas are really delicious. The Ranch pizza is created by replacing pizza sauce with ranch dressing and then topping it with fresh tomatoes, smoked bacon, onions, green peppers, and cheese. I definitely recommend this variety for adventuresome diners.
Their steak hoagies and wedge fries are also worth trying.
