The basics: The slices were thick, the pepperoni thin (and very spicy!). Like all Baltimore-area pizza, Pasta Mista's slices go easy on the sauce. This one wasn't the largest slice Metromix sampled, but it was a good size. Its thickness complemented its size, which made for a filling meal. Pasta Mista's slice tastes like college pizza should.

Damage: All Towson students (and the occasional yuppie) need to save is seven quarters and one nickel ($1.80) for Mista's satisfying pizza, the best deal Metromix encountered.
