College Carry-Out

College Carry-Out is a takeout spot in Augusta slinging pizza and sandwiches at prices that won't hurt. The kitchen works with fresh dough, which when dialed in produces some of the better pie around. But consistency is the real issue here. You might get a bubbly, nicely browned slice or you might get something underbaked and doughy, depending on the day or the baker.

• Fresh dough pizza at fair prices, when executed well.
• Quick service on orders placed ahead of time.
• Sauce and cheese ratios hit the mark for pizza lovers.
• Affordable sandwiches, though recent visits suggest portion decline.

The large pepperoni pizza is the standard move, though some say the pepperoni and hamburger combo is worth trying. The sauce gets consistent praise, and when the cheese browns and bubbles, you're in for something solid. Sandwiches used to be a draw and may still be worth a shot if quality is back. Expect to finish pizza in a home oven if the bottom looks underbaked.

It's a takeout counter, not a place to hang. Order and go, or call ahead to avoid a wait.

Quality swings wide. Regulars speak warmly about the sauce, the ratio of cheese, and the affordability when everything clicks. But you'll also hear about undercooked bottoms, mushy hot items, and portion shrinkage. The pizza dough itself gets praise when it's fresh and properly baked. If you're the type who can pop something back in a home oven for five minutes to finish it, you might be more forgiving.

Fans call it affordable and rave about fresh dough when it's on point. One recent visitor said the pizza at its best is "hands down the best pizza in Augusta". But consistency troubles linger, with some noting undercooked bottoms and others reporting recent drops in portion size and sandwich quality.
