Gunpowder Lodge Crab Alfredo Pizza

Gunpowder Lodge Crab Alfredo Pizza Gunpowder Lodge Crab Alfredo Pizza Crab Cake Review

Last week, we reviewed the Gunpowder Lodge's crab cake. We liked it so much, that we had to review one other crab-related item on their menu -- the Crab Alfredo Pizza. We've tried a similar product in the past, and were less than pleased. Everything else coming out of the GPL's kitchen looked tasty, so why not? So put your crab bib on, get your hunger in check, and continue on to see what we thought!

The Crab Alfredo Pizza is made with a homemade Alfredo sauce, shredded mozzarella, parmesan cheese, and topped with lump crab meat and Old Bay. One size fits all.

Based on our past crab pizza experience, we really liked this pizza! The crab on top looked a bit dried out from being baked in the oven, but still retained its flavor. The Alfredo sauce is rich and creamy with a really good flavor to it. Everything goes really well together. The crab flavor compliments the sauce and cheese, and lends a subtle crab flavor as a result. The crust is really good as well, and adds to the overall flavor profile.  Not too thick or thin, and when you lift a slice, the crust supports everything on top of it, which is quite a feat as the thick sauce can get a bit heavy.

As you can see from the picture, our pizza seemed to be lacking the promised Old Bay. If it was the one flavor that was missing, that was it. And if it somehow happened to make its way on there, it wasn't noticed, and we really would have loved to have seen it sprinkled on top. Mind you, we didn't ask for some once the order was out, so that was our fault for not pointing it out. But sometimes, you have to base your review on what you are served.
