    Peppercorn Ranch Salad
    Phuong L.

    This was our first time at Dewey's. We've heard their pizzas are delicious. I chose to celebrate my 40th birthday here today with my little family. I agree that the salad and pizzas were fantastic! Their service was horrible! We were given the wrong bill. We did not look at it. We just gave the waitress our card. When we were about to leave gratuity and sign it, we realized it was not our bill. It was definitely less than what ours would have been. We are honest people so we took it upon ourself to let them know. When they took our pizzas back to pack it up for us, the waitress informed us that she dropped the left over cheese pizza. She apologized and said she would take it off our bill and make a new one. Apparently the manager was suppose to come talk to us. The waitress came by and asked if the manager stopped by. He did not at all. We've all been done eating and we're just waiting for the new "cheese pizza" they were suppose to make for us. We sat there for about another 10-15mins waiting for the cheese pizza. We decided to just get up and leave. We saw the waitress and she said it's done and she would go get it. She came back out and walked straight to the manager. Apparently there was so many miscommunication between the kitchen, the waitress and manager. There was no new pizza being made for us. Literally wasted our time and energy. Disappointed on how management is! Our first time here and the whole experience was ruined.

    White pizza with meatballs.

    The pizza was hot & fresh, meatballs were big and seasoned well, and the manager is the absolute best. I also usually get the peppercorn Ranch Salad and it has never let me down. Would absolutely recommend.

    Very unprofessional I tried to call and place an order over the phone They can't. I walked in and try to explain them Half half They can't. My first and last time ‼

    Southwest BBQ Chicken Pizza
    Adam G.

    Since moving to Ohio, Dewey's has been on my list of places to try. I finally got to try it this past weekend while visiting a friend in Dayton. We ordered take-out on a Friday night and it was ready in about 45 minutes. We went with a medium (13") southwest BBQ chicken pizza and split a full peppercorn ranch salad. The pizza has a bbq sauce base, topped with smoked cheddar & mozzarella cheeses, black bean-corn salsa, chicken and roasted red peppers. The salad included romaine lettuce, bacon, tomatoes, shaved parmesan, red onions, topped with peppercorn ranch dressing. For some reason I was expecting Deweys to be a mainly carry out/delivery pizza joint, so was pleasantly surprised when I picked up the order -- the inside was packed with people dining in, they have a full bar and plenty of seating. One of the coolest parts was the glass panes that provide direct view of the staff members making the pizzas by hand. There were several children lined up watching, and I also enjoyed watching while I waited for the food to be brought out. The pizza was packed with flavor and I enjoyed the corn and black bean salsa. If I'm being hypercritical, the crust could have been a little crispier and I would have preferred the red peppers to have been cooked a bit more. However, I would definitely order the same pizza again. That said, since they have such a large selection of specialty pizzas, I could also see myself trying a different one! All in all, will definitely be ordering from Dewey's again.

    Dewey's Pizza... where do i begin? First off, my lovely girlfriend and i were seated very quickly even when they were busy on a saturday night. and the pizza came out just as fast. Service was a 10/10; i was asked if i wanted a refill, more napkins, a box for our pizza, ect.. i was attended to more times in my hour long stay than my parents did to me as a toddler. just kidding, my parents love me. but that's besides the point, what im getting at here is there was never a dull moment here at Dewey's pizza. As for the food: My amazingly great girlfriend and i got the caprice pizza. the crust was fantastic, softer than my pillow after a 24 hour shift at work. the tomato's were delightful, tasted like they were handpicked from the kind neighbors garden down the street in your friendly suburban neighborhood. and last but not least, the cheese. not too much but not too little, just like little bears soup. it was just perfect!!!! shout out to Dewey's pizza on brown st. Dayton Oh. will most definitely come back on a day where i need a quick pick me up. love the service, pizza, and atmosphere. y'all are the best

    First time at Dewey's. Place nice, clean, and busy but not overly busy. We started with a House Salad we split. It was tasty and big enough for both of us. We had a Large Specialty half and half, Don Corleone and Meatball. Don Corleone had plenty of Salami and Pepperoni toppings on a thick crust. Sauce is Spicy along with the Pepperoni. I thought it was ok my wife thought it was much too spicy. Meatball had plenty of Meatballs but was a little lean on the Fresh Mozzarella and Basil toppings. Some slices had hardly any at all on them. Servers were friendly and started out good but they seemed to be short handed and were not able to be as attentive as they should be. To be honest,we won't be back. There are too many other better pizza restaurants.

    harvest salad. It's my absolute favorite!
    Rhonda W.

    Great pizza. Love to watch them toss and stretch the dough. Great service. Love they can do 1/2 of pizza of different type. Plus the they gave fabulous salads... the harvest is my favorite. They gave redecorated to be covid resistant. Only down side is finding parking is tricky.

    Simply amazing. We didn't have a reservation, and couldn't have gotten one anyway, because they…read morewere booked solid for two weeks out. So we just walked in, and the host was kind enough to let us sit at the little bar area near the window. I like their ordering system. You have many options --- go up to the cash register and order there, order from the server who comes by your table (or in our case, bar), or use your phone by scanning the QR code. And if you use your phone, each person in your party can do it themselves on their own phone. Regardless, it all gets added to the same order for the same table. Pretty slick. At the end, when it comes time to pay, the app lets you split the check however you want, and you can even see the name of the person that ordered each item. The food was incredible. It's not cheap, and the portions are a little smaller than some might expect at an Italian restaurant. But for us, it was filling enough. I personally had the raviolo, which was delicious. Little did I know that in Italian, "raviolo" is singular while "ravioli" is plural. So I got one giant raviolo on my plate (see picture). I didn't care much for the runny egg yolk on top, but it was as advertised on the menu. All the other food orders were amazing, especially the desserts. I'd definitely come back once my food budget resets.

    Unbelievable spot in downtown Dayton. Grist is an Italian eatery with pasta, salads, sandwiches and…read morepastries. The Italian Stallion sandwich is too good to be true! The bread is a treat in itself! Top it off with some black truffle chips and you're set! I cannot wait to go back. Where's the 6 stars on Yelp?

Loved it. They had a complementary snack too, which was nice - like fried pitas and a nice sauce. The corn salad was ok. Then I had a main that was a crepe. They have plenty of vegetarian options, by the way, which is great. The crepe come stuffed with fur nice cheese and san marzano tomato sauce. I enjoyed the dish. Service was like excellent. Our waitress was like in top of things. Really attentive and anticipated our needs. Tent good place and I'd cube back

For our main courses, we had the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, the Salar Breakfast, and an Omelette. Everything was generous and perfectly prepared. The smoked salmon was balanced nicely -- flavorful without overpowering the dish -- and the poached eggs were done just right with a slight firmness. The spinach pairing, both cooked beneath the salmon and fresh on the side, worked really well. The ham on the Salar Breakfast was a standout: smoky, flavorful, and not overly salty. The omelette was cooked perfectly as well. Service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. We were seated immediately, our server was attentive throughout, and every request was handled without hesitation. The restaurant was also spotless, including the restrooms. Highly recommend.
