"This place has really gone downhill since it opened.\n\nMy first few visits, I was so excited to have a pizza place of this caliber on my side of town. I was worried that it was never very busy and am surprised it has lasted this long. Even though everyone talks about how great it is, there never seems to be anyone there.\n\nWe got busy with life and stopped going for awhile. When we returned, we were as happy as ever with our pizzas but also got the branzino, which I normally love but thought it was just OK.\n\nWith the current pizza invasion, we hadn't been to Due Forni for nearly a year. I like the nearby Settebello better and was even considering Custom Built Pizza but wasn't in the mood for the fast food setting. Since there was a Groupon, we decided to save and give Due Forni another chance. Normally I don't buy Groupons for places I've been before, but I was having a hard time justifying the price when there are other spots nearby that I like better. This visit was a mistake.\n\nFirst, the host, who I think is the owner or manager, seemed annoyed that we wanted to sit inside. Whatever, he seated us. Our waiter was very strange and had a confusing attitude. I ordered root beer, and he didn't bother to tell me it was bottled. This wasn't a huge issue, but every restaurant I've ever been to that only offers bottled root beer has made sure to inform me of this before serving.\n\nNext, we ordered a Roman margherita and Neapolitan tacchino pizza. He upsold us on a salad, but I was hoping he would do that anyway so no problem. After taking our order, he returned promptly and said, \"Roman margherita and Neapolitan tacchino, right?\" I confirmed this.\n\nSoon after, he was breaking the egg on my husband's pizza. Tacchino pizza has no egg, so I re-read the menu and saw he had served tartufo, not tacchino. I told my husband, so he asked the waiter who then whispered in his ear, \"Sir, I heard tartufo.\" My husband said he had ordered tacchino, and the waiter told him to just eat this one, and if he doesn't like it he'll replace it. WTF?\n\nFirst of all, I know he didn't hear \"tartufo\" because he came back and repeated \"tacchino.\" So either he forgot between our table and the kitchen, or the kitchen messed up and he didn't want to deal with it. Second, how can you tell a customer to just eat what you gave them? These two pizzas have nothing in common! Plus this pizza is $4 more, so now he was charging us more for something we didn't want. My husband's a pushover and likes both kinds of pizza, so he just went along with it. I didn't argue because I'm on medication that could make me lash out at anyone who gives me the wrong response.\n\nMy margherita pizza was disappointing as well. It tasted like it was made on a Saltine. While they always describe the Roman pizza crust as being cracker-like, I've never had it actually taste like a cracker.\n\nUnhappy with the food and service, I doubt I'll be returning here. I find it outrageous that a waiter would tell someone to \"just eat\" his mistake without offering to replace it with the correct order in addition to charging the higher price. I used to go all out to get people to come to Due Forni, but this goofball along with the higher prices for lower quality food have put an end to that."^^ .
