On the search for quality pizza, Jason and I decided to take the mission internally. We will be narrowing down the best pizza offered on the BGSU campus. For those of you who are unfamiliar with BGSU's Dining Services, the campus is divided up into four main resident halls with a cafeteria in each facility. Amongst them are; Founders Keepers Food Court, The Sun Dial, The Falcon's Nest and Macateria. While all them offer a variety of food options, one item is always on the menu, pizza.
Each individual dining hall carries a head chef responsible for the recipe of their pizza. During my freshman year, I was lucky enough to have over $1,200 of meal plan money. This means I could eat anywhere on campus and try everything each dining facility had to offer.
At "The Sun Dial" I was able to enjoy a delicious slice of pie that was thin and crispy. Their sauce was of a sweet but peppery blend of herbs and spices. For me, this by far is the best and freshest pizza on campus.
"We serve over 2,000 people a day so we definitely have to keep up on the pizza supply," said Chad Carper, classified manager at The Sun Dial. "Unlike several other dining facilities on campus, our pizza is made from homemade sauce and cooked in a cast iron oven. It gives the crust a lighter but flakier taste many students enjoy."
And students do favor the Sun Dials pizzas. Their pie has become so popular that in 2005 The Sun Dial started taking delivery orders. You may have seen the small electric cars zooming around campus and delivering pizza to all BGSU dorms.
Other dining services such as The Falcon's Nest do not use homemade crust and sauce. Hence Jason and I have crowned The Falcon's nest the worst pizza on campus. The sauce is from a can and taste similar to cafeteria frozen pizza. They also sell their leftover pizza for half price the next day. The Falcon's Nest is over priced and overrated. Try going to other dining facilities for a real piece of pie. It will serve you good.
