| - The beginning of October a friend took me to Dewey's for a belated birthday dinner. I'd never been to any of the locations, so I was excited to eat at a pizza place where creating your own pizza is encouraged.
First off, parking sucks, it REALLY sucks. There's a small lot in the rear of the building, and street parking in the front. But, as we all know, parking sucks in most of Lakewood so it's something we are used to by now.
We visited during the week, around 5:30PM, and there were 3 additional tables with customers. The restaurant was clean, our waitress was very nice and attentive and answered any questions we had about the food. My friend ordered the candied walnut & grape salad, while I opted to make my own pizza. I ordered an 11" Dewey's Original with minced garlic, mixed mushrooms and buffalo chicken. I was a little hesitant to order buffalo chicken because I absolutely can't handle hot food, but figured why not give it a try? I definitely wasn't disappointed. The chicken was a tiny bit hot, but nothing I couldn't handle. The crust was thin, which I love, but not paper thin. It had a bit of a chewy texture, but had a great crunch on the bottom as well. The garlic was definitely noticeable, but not overpowering, and the mushrooms were cooked perfectly. My pizza was absolutely delicious, and I wound up taking over half of it home with me. My friend said her salad was awesome as well; I could see the thing was huge and it definitely looked good.
Overall the food was great, the service was excellent and the restaurant was super clean. Great place for pizza!
