The pizza was a little too salty for my taste. I think I would have preferred less salt in the pesto.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pizza turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

Overall, I thought this pizza was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The crust was a bit too thick for my liking. I prefer a thinner, crispier crust.

The pizza was a little too oily for me. I think I would have preferred a less oily pesto.

This pizza was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more garlic and maybe some red pepper flakes.
