| - Decent, but overpriced.
I didn't feel there was anything special about Demore's. It's not "bad," but it's not good enough for me to go back.
My friend and I walked in to place a takeout order at 5:00 pm on a Tuesday. We ordered a large (12 cut) plain cheese pizza ($10.99), an Italian calzone ($10.25 + $1.50 because he added 2 toppings, which are $0.75 a piece), and an order of breadsticks ($6.99).
The gentleman behind the counter told us it would take 15 minutes.
We sat there for 25 minutes (I made sure to look at the clock on my phone). I personally didn't mind that our order took 10 minutes longer than we were told it would, but for the purposes of reviewing the place-- it was a Tuesday night, there were 2 people working the kitchen and neither one of them seemed to be moving at a very rapid pace, and we only saw 3 other customers the entire time we were there. So, busy or not, be warned that their concept of when an order will be ready might not be accurate.
The pizza was good, but nothing that would make me want to order from them again. He liked his calzone, but he wasn't impressed with it, and was disappointed in the portion size based on the cost. The breadsticks were a joke. Seven dollars for 8 SMALL breadsticks that were about as tasty as something I could've baked from a Pillsbury can is outrageous.
I did like that they had a pretty glass container of water with lemon on the counter for customers, though, and it was fun to sit there and watch them prepare our food and toss pizza dough.
I would say try Demore's if it's convenient for you, you don't mind spending a bit more money than you would at any other local pizza joint, and you don't crave any dessert options (no dessert menu whatsoever); but if you have to go out of your way to get there, you'd prefer something more fair in terms of cost, and/or you might crave a cookie or something, go somewhere else.
