Introduction
We wanted to find out what the best chain pizza is.
Method
We divided the tests by two types of pizza, cheese and pepperoni. All the pizzas were hand-tossed crust. The Tasters were blindfolded and fed half slices of pizza. They were asked to rate several aspects of the pizzas on a scale of 1 to 5:
- Sauce
- Cheese
- Topping
- Greassiness (5 being the most greasy)
- Crust
- Overall
To attempt to maintain freshness as much as possible, the pizzas were kept warm in an oven. The temperature of the pizzas was measured (using food thermometers) and recorded immediately before serving.
Results
Running pizza_results.py from the command line will make the following plots:
- Overall cheese results
- Overall pepperoni results
- Cheese vs temperature plot
- Pepperoni vs temperature plot
The file can also be imported in an python terminal so that the several functions can be run independently. The read_tables() function might be the most useful since it return pandas data frames containing the full results.
