One of the best pizza/family restaurants on the westside. I am not a "foodie" but I do eat out quite a bit -- not at fancy places, I like things simple with good service. You will find both at Dewey's in Lakewood and much the same in Cleveland Heights.
I have become a regular so the staff at Dewey's is always friendly and attentive. I love the shared serving style - they do not have one person serving a table the entire meal, rather the entire wait staff helps one another and all the customers throughout their meal. We've never had a problem with service. There was only one occasion when a newer server did drop our calzone on the floor when handing it off to the table but the manger was quick to come and help her, get us new food and comp the meal at the end of our stay. A+ customer service.
The food is great. I usually eat their calzones and always get the Peppercorn Salad. The salad is perfectly dressed before it arrives at the table and you don't need to ask for fresh cracked pepper -- the staff has it in hand when they arrive. The calzones are AWESOME! Best anywhere I've eaten. THe pizza is good, it's NYC style thin crust and the toppings are all fresh.
Thank you Dewey's for having great food and a wonderful staff.
