Papa Johns' Garlic 5-Cheese Crust Pizza is a limited-time offer featuring a hand-tossed pizza ringed at the edge with garlic-parmesan sauce and an Italian 5-cheese blend (parmesan, romano, asiago, fontina, and provolone). A large 1-topping Garlic 5-Cheese Crust Pizza costs $12.99 (it's $11.99 in most other states) near me, but I received this courtesy of Papa Johns. I chose sausage as my one topping. The 5-cheese blend resulted in a thin, crispy shell that covered most of the crust's edge, which was nice, as Papa John's regular crust isn't usually crispy in my experience. It offered an enjoyable, toasty cheese flavor paired with garlic. Papa Johns previously put out a similar crust called "Garlic Parmesan Crust." The Garlic 5-Cheese Crust was heavier on the toasty cheese, though. On a side note, the pizzas I've gotten from Papa Johns are typically evenly browned on the bottom, but this particular pizza was very light on the bottom, even though the top was quite browned and there was leopard spotting on the cheese. I'm guessing something went wrong with the bake. Maybe a temperature issue at the bottom of the oven? The result was a softer crust than usual as well as a bit of gumminess. Besides the baking issue, the Garlic 5-Cheese Crust made for good eating. The cheese and garlic brought welcome flavor and texture to the pizza. Read more at Brand Eating!

Taco Bell's Cheesy Melty Grilled Steak Burrito is a value-priced offering featuring marinated grilled steak, seasoned rice, a three-cheese blend (mozzarella, cheddar, and pepper jack), reduced-fat sour cream, and Creamy Jalapeno Sauce, wrapped up in a soft flour tortilla. I bought one for $3.29. The burrito had a nice heft to it. It was nicely folded and tightly rolled. There was an even, though somewhat sparse, distribution of mildly seasoned steak inside. Unfortunately, the distribution of the sour cream and Creamy Jalapeno Sauce was not so even. My initial bites of the burrito were full of sour cream, while the Creamy Jalapeno Sauce was gathered at the other end. So I was mostly tasting one sauce or the other in many bites. There's a mild heat from the Creamy Jalapeno Sauce to go with a jalapeno-inflected mayo base. The second flavor driver of the burrito was the seasoned rice, which had a nice flavor, but I would have liked a bit more presence from the steak. The cheeses provided a nice melt and stretch, but didn't make much of a showing in the taste department. Although it features in the name, there wasn't a whole lot of cheese to go around. Overall, Taco Bell's Cheesy Melty Grilled Steak Burrito made for a filling meal for an affordable price. Flavor-wise, it was overly familiar and light on steak. If we were being more honest with names, it would be the "Saucy Rice Flecked with Steak Burrito."
