We had no idea that Dua Pie was a thing or that we'd be eating there last night…read more A Joe Bonamassa concert had us in town and we had an hour before the doors would open so we looked on Google Maps to see what our food options were nearby. Fortunately for us Dua Pie was the closest and I'm glad it was! The decor is very open and there's a loooong table in the center of the room for seating as well as a few booths on one side of the room. Evalyn was very helpful with these first timers and explained the options for us. We ended up going with the Calzones and they were fantastic! Stuffed with ricotta and mozzarella cheeses, sauce, and sausage. The dough is crisp yet still maintains a good chew too! Delicious, upbeat, and just a wonderful place...we'll definitely be back!

I'm not exactly sure how we ended up at Dua Pie for lunch on my son's 17th birthday, on a Friday…read morethe 13th, but I'm so glad we did. We arrived right when they opened and we were warmly welcomed by the friendliest, most positive person I've met in awhile. His patience alone was like a 20-second hug. He went over what slices were available and we ended up with the toasted cheese ravioli and 4 slices; one pep, one buffalo chicken and two BBQ chicken. The ravioli came out quick and they were nice and crispy on the outside with cheese on the inside we all raved about.The pizza was delicious and the crust was perfect. I personally really liked the decor and coziness of the inside. I'm already planning future visits to try the stuffed options, salads, and sandwiches. But back to the service. On our way out to leave, the first person we talked to stopped us and offered us a slice of cake because he knew it was my son's birthday. The Midas touch of service for us as first timers. Well done all the way around!

Got suspicious the minute we parked with very few cars on a Friday night. I would really like to…read moresee a Mediterranean Rest in CR. So my hopes were high. Seated quickly and drinks came quickly and ordered the Tuscany Harvest Salad and Steak Kabobs. The waiter was very tentative and sounded new since he didn't know if the Tuscany Salad had an oil based dressing or creamy. Not a big deal. The salad came and it was just OK. The grilled vegies were soggy and not crisp, which means they were sitting and not prepared for the salad. The dressing was creamy and adequate, with lots of olives. But the vegies ruined it. The kabobs came out on a bed of rice with the same soggy vegies we had on our salad. The waiter never asked us how we wanted our kabobs cooked, they came out medium to well.. They varied due to the different sizes of the kabobs which also meant some were well done and some were medium. Some were chewy and some were tender, very inconsistent. And not very flavorful. Would not recommend. Overall a C experience and a disappointment because I really like Med Cuisine, but this was not good.

First impressions were a bit confusing--the entrance makes you feel like you're walking into an office building. There's a door to the right with signage for what seems to be a sister bar that's only open on limited nights, but the actual restaurant is straight back. Once inside, the space is large and open, with plenty of room between tables and a sizable bar area. I sat at the bar and learned about their Whiskey Wednesday specials, which included several types of Old Fashioneds and whiskey flights. While it sounded intriguing, I opted not to partake. They also offer daily drink special themes. The menu is eclectic, with a mix of Cajun, Italian, and American fare. I went with the Cacio e Pepe with Elephant Ear (Orcchiette) pasta, and added shrimp along with a half wedge salad as a premium side. The pasta itself was delicious--perfectly cooked with a rich, peppery flavor. However, I wish the server had mentioned that the shrimp was Cajun-seasoned. While great on its own, it slightly overpowered the pasta. The wedge salad was a bit of a letdown--the lettuce was watery, which diluted the overall flavor. The dish also came with garlic bread, which was yummy. Service was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and efficient. Unfortunately, it was hard to get a real read on the restaurant's vibe because it was pretty empty on a Wednesday night.

If you like your ice cream (enjoyed in a cone or cup), you can also find more in the freezer pack to-go. They also sell a lot of food items (made in Iowa) as well as a bit of fresh produce, milk, and meat. There are places to sit both inside and outside to enjoy the ice cream. This is a good place to stop with a family or maybe to take a break from a bike ride from the nearby trail.
