| - Caveat: Delivery order, no pizza. I will try again in-store and see how that goes.
We had the jalapeno poppers which, according to the menu, were stuffed with cream cheese and served with marinara. The lukewarm poppers we received were sparingly filled with cheddar cheese and came without marinara sauce. The upside? Stick them in the oven for a few minutes and they weren't bad. The peppers were still tender, but (a) they were not as advertised and (b) we shouldn't have to reheat the just-cooked food.
The anitpasto salad was as advertised and really tasty. I would have preferred more antipasto, less lettuce, and for the pepperoncini to be whole (I like the bite and the juice of a fresh one!). That said, this was still good with or without the provided house dressing. The shining star of the meal, by far.
The Caesar salad was bland and the croutons - which seemed as if they were from a box of stuffing mix sold for Thanksgiving - were slightly stale. Generous portion, but that was the only plus. Definitely in the "Meh, I've experienced better" category.
The iced tea seemed fresh brewed but it was missing the lemon we requested.
Even knowing that delivery changes things a bit, this was too much to just blame it on that. For everything people have said, it could have - and should have - been better (and, in the case of the jalapenos, matched the menu!).
