The seven flavor axes of the whole sandwich, each summed across its layers. The shaded ring is the catalog's middle 80%; the small number under each axis is where this sandwich falls in the catalog. A shape that sits inside the ring is in the range most sandwiches live in; a spike past it is where this one stands apart.

## What each layer brings

Points: what the Sandwich Score would lose if that one layer were left out, everything else the same. A negative number means the sandwich scores higher without it. Flavor runs 0 to 5 on each axis.

## Pairings

- **Pepperoni + Marinara**: pizza law: pepperoni in the red sauce
- **Pepperoni + Mozzarella**: pizza law: pepperoni under the melt
- **Marinara + Parmesan**: parmesan salts the marinara's sweetness
- **Parmesan + Mozzarella**: milky stretch under salty parmesan
