| - All in all, I personally won't be ordering delivery from here again.
BUT, if you're a pizza fan, and certainly if you're a fan of the big slice pizza places I used to see at the malls, I'm guessing you'd really like this place. I'd just be sure to order and eat there! Here's why....
This was the first time I've ordered from here. And for full disclosure, I'm not a big pizza fan like I was in high school. Mostly because my tastes have somewhat changed and l haven't found many that taste spectacular.
But, the pictures people posted looked really good, and my house munchkin saw the chicken and fries and wanted that... so I ordered!
When the food arrived, it looked great! It was on time and my GrubHub guy even kept the Cannoli separate from the warm foods. I just wish it had tasted as great as it looks.
And to be clear, I don't ever expect delivery to be as good as eating it AT the restaurant. But, I also don't mind having to reheat or crisp up my delivery food as needed.
Having said that, here's the breakdown...
Munchkin's chicken and fries... The fries were super soggy, even for delivery! I tossed them in the toaster oven to see if I could crisp them up. Ten minutes later, they were more crisp.... but they were a weird chewy texture. So we decided to skip the fries.
I didn't have to reheat the chicken because then I'd just have to let it cool down for the 4-year-old! She liked that part, so she ate the just the chicken. I figured what the heck, a lot of restaurants don't do kids meals very well (even though they should!)
The garlic bread... not bad, but nothing super special. I reheated it a bit in the toaster oven too. It coulda used some more garlic and seasoning, but we liked it well enough to eat most if it.
The pizza... I ordered one of their large slices with pepperoni, black olives and extra cheese. Im glad I ordered extra though, because it was the amount I get normally at the pizza place I usually call.
The good part is, since I don't eat as much as I used to, there was enough there to fill me up, share with the munchkin, AND still have leftovers (in 4-year-old portion size) for breakfast. I had put it in the oven for a few minutes to reheat and remelt the cheese as well.
This was by far the best part of what we ordered. And that makes sense... order piza from a pizza place right? But even that wasn't something I'd order again... unless I was in a hurry, was hungry for pizza, and could eat it fresh at the restaurant.
And my thought is, regardless of your specialty, if you're not gonna cook the rest of it as well, then don't have it on the menu!!
And finally, the Cannoli... not my kind of dessert maybe? The crust was a hard crunchy pastry and I hed expected something a little flakier and the filling, while not a bad flavor, had a gritty texture vs a smooth pudding or custard type thing. Again, it could just be me as this is the first time I've ever had it!
