No Longer With Us: Turner's Pizza Depot

This place has actually left the area, but I still wanted to take a minute and talk about my experience there so you could see that I don't always like every pizza place I try.

From the beginning. One day while driving past Parker Square in Flower Mound my wife discovered the most marvelous thing, a new pizza joint called Turner's Pizza Depot! Being the awesome wife that she is (no, I'm not being paid to say that), she just couldn't wait to tell me about it. And being the awesome husband that I am (yes I did pay her to let me say that) I made sure I was super happy when she told me about her news and that out of respect to her not being that big of a pizza fan, we would wait a week or so to try it out.

A couple of days later when we ventured a few blocks over to Turner's Pizza Depot, we ordered a pepperoni pizza & garlic cheese bread to share. The garlic cheese bread was really good, but the pizza was nothing special to say the least. It was covered in pepperoni (as all of you know by now I love) but something about the sauce wasn't right. Normally I order light on the sauce, but this time I so busy figuring out what to order I forgot to ask. Boy do I regret that! I still can't pinpoint what was wrong with that sauce, other than it just didn't taste good. It was kind of sweet, and much like Hulk Hogan, pizza sauce should never be sweet.

I did however like the atmosphere of Turner's and the staff that worked there, but that was not enough for us to return. We talked about returning at some point to give it a second chance and just order the same pizza with light sauce, but we never made it. As of recently that door has been completely shut as Turner's Pizza Depot has gone out of business. However, I have good news...A new pizza place has moved in to Turner's old building that we recently visited (review to come soon).

Likes:

• The Garlic Cheese bread. A toasted piece of french bread with a light garlic sauce and lots of melted mozzarella cheese.


• The atmosphere. The entire staff was friendly and helpful.


• Location. Parker Square is a fun place to take the family to eat pizza and listen to live music (on Friday nights during the summer).

Dislikes:

• Pizza sauce. As many of you know I'm not the biggest fan of pizza sauce. However, I normally always like pizza sauce on my pizza in small portions, but this particular sauce? Yeah, not so much.


• Price. Its been a while since we tried Turner's Pizza Depot, but I can definitely remember that the price that we paid for our dinner didn't not match the quality of our dinner. Although, in hind sight, that may have to do with the dinner not being good, but I digress.

So now as you can see, I am truly human and I don't like every pizza place I try. Sad day.

Lata Peeps!
