    Ham, feta, mozzarella 12" pizza
    Travis K.

    Great pizza and pickle pocket! For some reason the pizza was very wet tho and that's the only complaint I have! It had great flavor and the crust was really also tho!

    Two average run of the mill pizzas.

    This place gets very good reviews and I am not sure why. We walked in and ordered 2 pizzas. The price on the large menu board was $19.99 Then when we went up to the cash register it rang up $29.99 and I asked/told the clerk the menu said $19.99. He said well we haven't changed our prices on the menu yet. Two pizzas and one drink was $62.29 dollars. That is CRAZY expensive for what was given to us. These were not stone fire special pizzas or anything fancy. Also the service was average at best. There is a outdoor patio which is nice because inside is nothing special. Would not go back.

    Personal sized cheese pizza.

    Upon walking in, I asked the staff if anything besides the location has changed over the last 40 years and they assured me that nothing changed. So I ordered a personal size cheese pizza that I got when I was back in Adrian, Michigan visiting family and the recipe and dough tasted exactly the same as it did when I was a kid. So happy that Dempsey's didn't change a thing when it comes to their pizza. Bonus, they had a skeleton with a Dempsey's t-shirt on that kept me company while I ate.

    Italian Turkey combo!

    We ordered the Italian Turkey special, which came with chips and a drink. The subs were toasted, crisp and filled with great flavor! We ordered at the counter and the food was brought to us piping hot. It's a nice little cafe downtown with the option of eating inside or outside. The special included the drink which could include the canned beer or cocktails, BONUS!!

    This pizza place in the increasingly attractive center of Adrian has evolved into our favorite option in town for Italian pie. The specialty pizzas here are terrific. The Best-o-Pesto might be my wife's favorite as it features a pesto base with spinach, feta cheese and tomato. My favorite is the BBQ Chicken, which is certainly not unique to them, but they do it very well. But one that is growing on us is the Sieler Special, which has a white sauce base with goat cheese and honey. This is a unique option which provides a nice change of pace. We've also tried the Greek Pizza with white onion and gyro meat topped with lettuce, tomato, feta cheese, black olives and a side of tzatziki sauce. It tastes great but it does not warm up very well with the lettuce on top. So for me, it's not the best choice if you don't have enough people to eat it all at the first sitting. Dempsey's is also great for sweet treats. Check the front case when you walk in to see what's available that particular day. The cake balls are a favorite as are the roll-ups. We usually do take-out these days when getting food from Dempsey's but that's just by circumstance. We've eaten in also. Their dining area is small but the tables by the big storefront window are particularly nice for eating in, as are the two or three tables on their sidewalk patio in nice weather. My experience is that the service at Dempsey's has always been reasonably good as the people working there are polite and pleasant. The prices are well in line with expectations for the type of fare, making it a very good value in my estimation. The downtown location could, at times, present a small problem with regard to street parking, particularly on theater nights. But there is also a large-ish lot in back of their building off Church St. It is not quite as convenient but it is still very usable. Dempsey's will continue to be our primary go-to place for pizza. It's a great option, we enjoy the fare we get from there and we are happy to support a local business.

    Came here yesterday for lunch because a few weeks ago I had their Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich…read moreand it was so YUM! That I have been thinking about it all week! So I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with onion rings and a side of their ranch and their onion dip sauce. The sandwich was HUGE very lightly battered and tasty. I only finished half of it bc it was a really generous portion. They do not carry Wood Chuck or Angry Orchard, so I was recommended to try their Sangria Cider and it was good, but after I had it it was a bit sweet so I changed to a blue moon. My husband had the Reuben sandwich and tater tots and he was happy with his meal he finished it all. Looking forward to having another one soon!

    I had only gotten take out here before yesterday. It was a great spot to go for Mother's Day,…read moreespecially around 2pm, after the rush. There's a bar with a modern, rustic feeling dining area which is perfect for all types of people. They have seating for most group sizes too. I was a little disappointed by our server as she seemed stressed and preoccupied. Not very personable. I can't even remember her name. Although, she was very prompt, knowledgeable, and made no mistakes. The rest of the staff was awesome and super helpful. Our food came out in a timely fashion with our sides/ appetizers coming out a good amount before our entrees. I always get the blackbird sandwich without cheese but it just wasn't the same as a remember it. The sweet potato fries are phenomenal though, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Everyone else's food was said to be delicious too. Definitely will be back, I love the little drive up there.
