I had several reasons for going. One, I like to follow up at some places where I've only had individual slices, by getting a fresh pie to see how it compares. Two, so many people seem to like chicken wing pizza that I'd like to start checking some of them out. Three, I had a half-off coupon for Rhino's that was about to expire.
The crust on this pie was medium thick, with a well-browned underside that was dry to the touch, though not crisp. It had a soft, chewy texture and some pleasant breadiness.
There is no tomato sauce on Rhino's wing pizza, just hot sauce. I was given a choice of heat, and asked for medium. The crust was topped with a thin coating of sauce, which I'd say hit the medium mark pretty well. It had some kick to it, but wasn't so spicy-hot as to overwhelm the rest of the pizza.
I think I'll always prefer more traditional forms of pizza to chicken wing pizza, but now and then it's not bad. My breadth of experience with this particular form of pizza is rather limited, but for me, this pie was better than a run-of-the-mill, average pizza, but not a world-beater either, so I'll give it a B.
