I was staying in the condominium complex pretty much right next where Di's was located so I'd drive past this place pretty much every day. I decided to look it up on Yelp and saw plenty of glowing reviews for this place and so naturally, I had to give it a try, right? And plus, the people in my group had been wanting some pizza anyway.
Looking at this place from the road, I didn't realize that this wasn't really a sit-down restaurant. My friends and I had actually come here expecting Dis to be a full service restaurant, but we found out that the restaurant was really catered for delivery and to-go orders. Stepping inside the restaurant, there's an order counter, soda refrigerator, and the kitchen.
The bunch of us arrived here probably 8:25-8:30ish in the evening. Upon realizing that the only seating area was outside, two of us stayed behind (myself included) and the rest of us went back to the condo.
Stepping inside to place an order, there were a couple of people ahead of us so naturally we waited for our turn. The man who was taking behind the counter seemed very nice but he seemed very overwhelmed since the phone kept ringing, and he had to help the customers at the counter, and at the same time preparing all the pizzas for delivery.
After a few minutes, it was finally our turn at the counter. This was approximately 5-10 minutes after we had walked in. While we were waiting for the man to come help us after he was done doing whatever he was doing, the old lady who was making the pizza looked up and walked toward us from behind the counter/kitchen and without saying a word, walked past us to turn off the 'open' sign on the window. She then walked back past us, again without saying any word, to go back to the kitchen to make the pizza. Remember, this was a small joint and had my friend and I didn't move aside, she would have actually walked into us. I mean a little "excuse me" was that difficult.
Also keep in mind that this was around 8:35-8:40 pm (they close at 9). She also started yelling toward her staff that they'd no longer be doing delivery and will no longer be taking orders.
At this time, the customer who was in front of us came back in and asked, "do you all have ranch?" The lady quickly snapped at her "it's $1!" The customer had to explain that she had bought some salad and didn't get dressing and she wanted some. The man of course gave her the ranch without any charge.
Anyway, we were still waiting to place our orders and the phone kept ringing and they apparently still had time to take a couple more orders over the phone (while keeping us waiting to place our order in the restaurant!) before the man finally had some time to help us. We were finally able to place our order: one meat lover, one pepperoni pizza, and two cans of Dr. Pepper. The cost? A little over $40.
We waited maybe 30 minutes until our pizzas were ready and we brought them back to the condo. Let me just say this, the pizzas were pretty good, but I wish the lady would've spread the sauces/cheese/toppings on the dough more evenly because there were large portions of crust that didn't get covered.
The pizzas themselves were pretty good, but were they good enough for me to want to give this lady my business again? Nope. Reading through the other reviews on here, I did see a couple of reviews mentioning about how rude she was, and plenty of reviews that are for delivery only.
To be fair, if this had been a delivery order, my review probably would've based just on the pizza alone. However, since I actually came into the restaurant and had to experience the rudeness and the long wait time and having my order taken after all the phone orders, then it's fair to say that I'm never going to be ordering from this place again. I'll spend my $40 on Domino's or Papa John's and I'll probably get a whole lot more pizzas. read more
