| - Please note, this is really a 3.5 Star review.
It was a Saturday night and it had been a long week. Neither of us wanted to drive to get dinner, let alone make dinner, so I decided to do a 'Yelp Delivery' search and this place came up. I was thrilled, I just noticed them a few weeks ago and I wanted to try them out. I was so happy they delivered to us! I was also excited because they have 4 1/2 stars, it was like icing on the cake! So, I looked up the menu and opted to order onion rings because they were homemade; one large pizza and one order of Chicken Parmesan. I have a growing 11 year old and figured he would devour almost the entire pizza and Dave and I could split the Chicken Parm. I called them up and of course they weren't delivering because they had a large party in the house and they didn't have the staff, she said I could come pick it up. While I was absolutely dead tired and could have opted to eat frozen fish sticks instead of driving - I said OK, I'll go it get. She said to give them at least 30 minutes because of the large party, I was ok with that, after all it was Saturday at 7:30 and I totally understand they were busy. I also told her to skip the salad, I just wanted the Chicken parm meal and garlic bread and I would be there at 8:30, giving them almost an hour. We weren't starving, so it wasn't that big of deal.
I arrived at 8:25. The place was loud, they had a band. I knew that because she told me she had to go outside, in back to take my order. If you read my other reviews, I like family owned businesses because we have one. There are good days and bad days, and I appreciate all the hard work it takes to be successful. However, if you choose to have a loud band on a Saturday night, you need to make sure you can accommodate both eat-in and take-out guests. if you know there is a big party, then you need to staff up. I would not have stayed to eat-in because the band was just too loud. I appreciate what they are trying to do, but they need a nice acoustic band, not a loud guitar/drum band, or at least get rid of the drums.
Ok - the food was just coming up, so perfect timing. My bill was $35 and some change. I quickly did the math, $10/person. That seemed reasonable. I loaded up and took off. I got home and the order of onion rings was huge -- and it was a 1/2 order. The pizza looked good, nice and big. Unique oval shape. The Chicken parm was also huge. First impressions were great. However, the onion rings were way, way too salty. One side of the bag was ok, too much salt, the other side you couldn't even eat. Everything tasted fresh, so that was a huge plus, and while the pizza was 'droopy;' I liked it. Not a lot of pepperoni, but I really did like the cheese. Good quality. I didn't care for the sauce on the Chicken Parm. It tasted fresh and homemade, I just didn't personally care for it. The Chicken was good. That is my taste, so no deduction for that.
Then finally I started thinking about my bill. I didn't get a salad and after the menu said they delivered on Friday and Saturday night - but they couldn't this night I had to go get it - at a minimum I thought they could have swung some type of a discount, even a 5% for the trouble and no salad. I could have ordered 2 large pizza's from the usual chain and had it delivered for $20 instead of $35. So all things considered, I would probably give them another try, as I did like the pizza; the owner was friendly and the food was fresh. If those onion rings weren't so darn salty...definately a 4 star review. (1 star taken for the lack of delivery, sorry).
