    Caprice pizza - canned tomatoes were overly sweet; Ned's a red sauce for balance
    F.R. B.

    Consider the star for the food, but even that is generous. The crust is bland. Many of the toppings are not fresh. The balance of flavors on specialty pizzas is lacking. You will not find good food here. Nor atmosphere. Most especially, you will not find good service. We have been looking for a pizza parlor for a time. All of the parlors have stopped taking dine in orders. Delivery is fine, but sometimes, we want to dine in. We were excited to find Dewey's. Being at the mall is definitely annoying, but a full service parlor with a small but decent beer selection seemed ideal. The inside was clean and the show of the kitchen crew tossing the dough provided lackluster visual interest. However, the service was incompetent and antagonistic. We were there on the freezing day before Christmas. The roads were terrible. The dining room was empty. The service had plenty of time to be attentive. The service was divided between two young persons who must have been teenagers. They behaved as if they had never had a job before. They were just barely friendly, not knowledgeable of the menu, and untrained in serving a family with a small child. Despite their lack of skill, they were fine. If all we had to deal with were a couple of young, incompetent servers, it would've been fine. However, about 1/3 of the way through our meal and almost immediately after telling our server that we would likely take some time to allow our child to eat at their pace, another employee came over. Without even asking us, she attempted to shove a pizza box on our overcrowded table. The staff had put three stands down the center of our booth. Clearly, they were unaware that pizza stands are designed to hold two pizzas. As well as three stands, we had three glasses, three plates, pepper and cheese shakers, and napkins. Our table was OVER full. No one should have crammed so much onto our table...actually, Dewey's should use bigger tables. Pizzas take up space, and we had ordered small pizzas. Everyone had ignored us, and we had moved a stand and tray to a neighboring table. The young, unskilled servers, despite having zero other tables, never offered to clear our table to make space. So over comes this new person. Without asking us anything and certainly without trying to clear some space, she proceeded to shove an empty box onto our table. It would not fit. There was no room. The box would have hung off the edge of the table. When I asked what she was doing, she said she was being helpful. When I told her we didn't ask for a box, we might be taking our time to eat, and that there was no room for it, she stormed off. She said, "I'm not arguing with you." Clearly communication was not something anyone ever taught Rachel, because she refused to engage in any appropriate communication. We finished our meal uncomfortably. We cleared another tray off our table and had to ask a server to take our plates. We had to request a box when we were done eating, because no one could be bothered to provide us any service. Could the service get worse? Yes. Since pay is at the register, we had to interact with Rachel again. Instead of apologizing for the poor service and rude interaction, she doubled down on her bad behavior with faux, sickening sweet greetings. I asked for her name and she provided it and asked for mine. When I told her it was none of her effing business, she made sure to read my card so she could use my name in a pointed and sarcastic manner. I had enough and called her an a**hole. I have zero tolerance for such poor service and Rachel is certainly deserving of the title. Despite the poor service, I tipped our servers $35 each. They were unskilled and untrained but with Rachel as the apparent manager, I didn't want to punish them for such a toxic work environment.

    Half artichokes, roasted red peppers, and fresh basil, half pepperoni and banana pepper

    I love Dewey's! Definitely one of my favorite pizza joints in the area. You can dine in or order for pickup...I usually order my pizza online and pick it up in store to take home. They have several unique pizzas and salads and a good variety of toppings to create your own. Most recently I got artichokes, roasted red pepper, and fresh basil and it was delish! The crust is thin and the pizza isn't greasy...it doesn't make you feel super heavy or gross after which is a huge plus. I wish they delivered but definitely not a deal breaker. Totally recommend!

    the Elote is almost gone and the ol' faithful pepperoni and banana pepper is barely touched. life changed.

    i've always considered Dewey's to be an average pizza place - one that won't let you down but is otherwise unremarkable. that was, until this last Sunday... Danielle and I had to run to my office to drop something off and we went to Dewey's for lunch as it was nearby. upon our arrival i was reminded that the current pizza special was an elote pizza and it intrigued me. though i still had reservations. we agreed to order a small one and a small "go-to" pepperoni and banana pepper. folks, i gotta tell you, my life was changed that day. i'm of the mindset, normally, that pizza requires red sauce. that's just my preference. this pizza had no red sauce but was F'ING INCREDIBLE. it had olive oil, mozzarella, fresh roasted corn and poblano peppers, red onions, queso fresco and was finished with a drizzle of housemade Tajin crema after the bake. we opted for NO CILANTRO because why ruin a good thing? seriously, i loathe cilantro. we devoured that pizza - each trying at least one piece of the other before returning our attention to the main attraction. i immediately regretted only getting a small. though it may not have warmed up well - with the crema and all. the crema, by the way, was the sleeper here. just delicious. i wish this was a permanent addition to the menu because i don't live near a Dewey's so i'll likely not have another chance to get it before it's gone. anyway, if you're reading this, stop. go immediately to Dewey's and get yourself (and me) an Elote pizza (no cilantro).

    RYAN'S INFERNO KILLER VEGGIE
    Ali S.

    My favorite chain pizza spot! Deweys is one of my favorite spots to go when I just want to eat a lot of food. Their pizzas are absolutely delicious and they don't make you feel too heavy afterwards. My favorites are the killer veggie, Ryan's inferno, and the caprese. They have a ton of other great options though as well as the option to create your own. You can also do different toppings on the two halves of the pizza, which makes it super easy to split with friends. When I dine in with friends they always have amazing service and are very receptive to specific requests and substitutions. The pizzas are also delicious to go and I recommend heating the pizzas up in the oven to crisp them. Just make sure not to get it too crispy. The pizza isn't the only amazing part though. Their salads are super unique and taste super fresh. Their calzones are also great to try if you want to switch it up. They are super doughy and cheesy, a great option to try, but I wouldn't recommend getting it to go.

    Dear Yelpers, Get ready for the Pizza Pie that will change your life! Ok maybe an over exaggeration but definitely an amazing pizza. Dewey's offers the full experience with an open view into their kitchen where you can see the chef's tossing dough. The kids love it and secretly the adults do too! The plethora of pies to choose from is different and exciting! Not just your normal pepperoni and sausage. More like a smorgus board of luxury pizza options that everyone is going to love! And if you are like me, you'll love the bit of kick you'll get from Ryan's Inferno! Your Friendly Neighborhood foodie

    Porky Fig Pizza and a Green Lantern pizza

    I'm never disappointed with the food or service here and today was no different. Even under extremely challenging circumstances, they exceeded my expectations in every way with their pleasant demeanor, quick curbside pick up, and of course, great food!

    Rick H.

    We ordered online and did curbside pickup. Dewey's has their process down. Our order was exactly right and ready on time. The meatball pizza and salads were delicious. The raspberry poppyseed vinaigrette was very good and was a compliment to the salad. The safety and care that Dewey's displayed was commendable. Management thought the process through and it protects the employees and customers. A big thank you!

    "Hand tossed pizza"... literally.

    Great customer service. Nice atmosphere. Unfortunately I can't eat their vegan cheese as it is soy based.

    Wasn't busy when I stopped in. The bartender was super attentive and helpful with menu options…read more Their pizza is able to be ordered with optional vegan cheese and cauliflower crust for gluten free options. The cocktail menu was also unique with plenty of good selections.

    We came here with friends last weekend for the first time. We had high expectations of the drinks…read moreconsidering they are a craft cocktail bar. We ordered several drinks off the menu. I had the spritz, which was good, but took over 30 minutes to receive even though we asked about it multiple times and everyone else at our table had received their drinks. My husband had an old fashioned which turned out to be only 5oz. The glass was not even half full. We all thought this had to be a mistake considering the cost and how poorly presented the drink was but the manager assured us that they measure properly. I think they should include this on the description because for $13, we were not expecting such a small drink. Our friends were not impressed with any of the drinks they ordered, either. My friend specifically ordered a double vodka shot in a short glass but received it in a tall glass, therefore watering down the drink. As for food, we shared the marinated feta appetizer and the charcuterie board. Both were good but the charcuterie only had one serving of meat (salami) and the rest were olives, peppers, cheese and grapes. For $19, we were expecting a little more. One of the cheeses, the largest portion, was a very spicy pepper cheese that none of us really enjoyed. The dip was very good - no complaints. We also ordered three pizzas. Our friend got the chicken pesto which he said was ok but nothing great. My husband got the short rib which he enjoyed. I did a make your own, which had literally no flavor at all. The crust was good but that was about it. I suppose that's my fault for picking the toppings but I thought it would taste better than it was. As for service - it was very slow and they were very inattentive. I wouldn't come back here or recommend it. I think as a restaurant that advertises for its drinks and pizza, both were lacking.
