My first contact with Happy's Pizza did not bode well for a good experience. When they first opened their Detroit Avenue location someone came buy and put a delivery menu on my front door. I live off of Detroit Avenue.. In Lakewood. Since we basically live on the same street as the restaurant and someone from Happy's placed the menu on my door, I naturally assumed that they would deliver to my house. Wishing to try them out, I called and was told they don't deliver to Lakewood (which is five minutes from them) to which I pondered why did you put menus on every door in a town you don't deliver to? But I digress.
Last night I was in the mood for something new and had just got (another) menu for Happy's, this time in the mail. I decided to order the deep dish pizza with an order of BBQ rib tips. I even decided to take the five minute drive to pick it up.
My order was ready when I arrived and I headed home (skeptically) to try it out.
I have to admit I was not that disappointed. I reminded me of a slightly more robust Donato's (which I like) and definitely quenched my appetite for some new pizza. The rib tips were hot and sloppy (that's a good thing) maybe slightly overcooked and not very tender, but not bad for a "fast food" kind of place.
They have a very large and eclectic menu and very reasonable prices, some of the deals are downright crazy. I am sure I will repeat again if I get tired of the few places to choose from in Lakewood.
