| - NOTE: This review is for the West View location.
Long day at work + poor planning = not having eaten for 10 hours and having nothing in the house suitable for Lent. Enter Mandy's Pizza, whose ad I spotted on the back of the Pennysaver. Their menu kind of cracked me up so I decided to give them a try (although I wish they delivered ice cream from West View).
The guy who answered the phone and took my order was SUPER competent (asked for my card number, got my address and helped me give him directions to it, etc.) and also really, really polite. I noted I was new to this area of town and he said "Welcome to the neighborhood!" Maybe I had too long a day at work, but I thought that was swell.
Delivery was fast (on a Friday night!) -- just half an hour from the time I ordered. Unfortunately, I ordered a 2L and only got a cup of pop, alas. The Buffalo Fries are great, but I must admit I was overwhelmed by the sheer size of them. There has to be 5lb of fries and cheese in here. The Buffalo wing flavor is quite strong, and next time I might ask for plain fries or half and half. Though, if I were drunk, they would have been A+ #1, so keep that in mind.
I also got a fish hoagie. The bread was excellent, the toppings were good, and the fish itself was cooked just about perfectly. Not at all dry, although it could use a bit of salt.
Mandy's also offers a GF pizza (?!) and accommodates allergy requests, which is pretty rare. Given the friendliness of the man who answered the phone, I would trust them to do their best to make an order properly for someone with food allergies.
The portions were HUGE, the prices are really great (even compared to other local pizza places), fast delivery, friendly employees... yeah, I'll be ordering again.
UPDATE 4/12: I've since ordered from Mandy's many, many times, and I think their telephone service is probably the best I've ever run into with delivery places. My roommates are converts now, too. Other dishes:
Honey Habanero chicken pizza is on FIRE. In a bad way. My stomach started to hurt after I ate one piece; it's not so much the sauce as it is the pound or so of jalapenos on top. Fairly tasty, though.
Wings are meh. I'm really picky about my wings, though, and I require them to be cooked crispy (basically, overcooked). These weren't, and were underseasoned (dry Cajun). Not my favorite, although they ARE huge and if you aren't as picky as I am I bet they're good.
Cod fish hoagie platter is a great deal; you get the hoagie plus fries and coleslaw at a good price. It was still big enough to be two meals for me.
