Dewey’s Pizza

What can I say… Dewey’s has a great business model and is able to duplicate it well. The service and food were excellent as expected. (See my other Dewey’s review for details.)
One new thing that I love — No wait app! It is awesome to arrive at a busy restaurant and have a table waiting for you. Kudos for getting on board.

It’s Dewey’s, now on the West Side! A great addition to the West Side for sure. My experience here was on-​par with other Dewey’s experiences. To be honest, as compared to my urban-​core Dewey’s go-​tos, this place has ample parking going for it. Everything was as expected. Service was, for a minute, a bit too attentive with three different people asking about our food in a short period of time, but chalk that up to a new location.
It seems like Dewey’s has successfully been able to consistently reproduce their business model and atmosphere, and this is a great go-​to when you’re on this side of town and another visit to O’Charley’s just isn’t going to cut it.

My review addresses the food and general ambiance … This place is no joke. Despite the crowds the food is always fresh and tastes good. The Harvest is my favorite salad. Nice flavorful pizza with chewy crust. If there’s ever anything you don’t like, tell them and they correct it.
Addressing the «cozy confines» the restaurant should have been at least 150 square feet bigger. Friday and Saturday nights are a little crazy and even the takeout takes longer than it should.

We decided to try this newer location of Dewey’s for a change. It was pretty crowded for a Thursday night. We had a 20 – 30 minute wait when we arrived there around 6, 6:30.
They have a surprisingly small dining area. Since this is a newer location, I had thought they would have invested more in providing ample seating. There’s a long corridor when you first walk in and it kind of loops around to the hostess station — this is also where you exit, which is a bit of an odd layout. Once you’re in the dining area, it has a modern pizzeria feel.
A server came to take our drinks order, then another server almost took our order but we weren’t quite ready yet, so another server stopped by a couple minutes later with a trainee in tow to actually take our order. We were a little confused with all the server hopping, but overall, it made for very attentive service. Our first server did a really good job of explaining how things worked, like the specials and the half-​and-​half pizzas (you can do this with any pizza).
One of the drawbacks of Dewey’s is that they don’t actually have appetizers. Besides pizza, they also have salads, calzones, and dessert. I guess they’re just focusing on what they do best! We ultimately went with a small Killer Veggie, which features Red Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese, Mushrooms, Onions, Black Olives, Green Peppers, with Fresh Tomatoes and Parsley after the bake ($ 14.95). We also had a small half Edgar Allen Poe, which has Olive Oil, Mozzarella-​Fontina Blend, Mushrooms, Roasted Garlic, Kalamata Olives and Goat Cheese, with Fresh Tomatoes and Parsley after the bake and half Create Your Own with Cheese and Mushrooms ($ 15.95). Our original waiter brought out our food. :P
Overall, our food was tasty. I probably preferred pie #2 the best and regretted getting an entire veggie pizza. I generally like my pizza cheesy and unhealthy. :P They do not skimp on the toppings, let me tell you, so be sure you like what are ordering on your pizza. Oh, and there were huge hunks of garlic on the Poe pizza that were a little intimidating at first but once roasted, it completely transforms the garlic flavor. The cheese covering is adequate — not too much, not too little. Everything is very fresh, and the crust isn’t half-​bad.
Another employee brought our check, but we were rung up incorrectly. We had come in with a $ 25 Gift Certificate, but he had inadvertently discounted it by $ 15.00 instead. Once, we pointed this out, he was apologetic and immediately corrected it.
VERDICT: Dewey’s offers some good pizza, but for some reason, it is generally not top of mind for me when I think of getting pizza. Not gonna lie, I almost think of it as healthy pizza. I know that is totally unfair. It is good pizza with fresh ingredients and it’s very flavorful.
They are a bit on the pricey side. A small specialty pizza will you run you around $ 15.00. For comparison, a Medium Build-​Your-​Own is $ 13.45 + $ 1.75 per regular topping/​$ 2.00 per gourmet topping, while at Adriatico’s it was $ 11.49 + $ 1.50 per topping. It’s a couple dollar difference, so not a HUGE deal. But you know what — I don’t get a stomachache after eating Dewey’s because their pizza isn’t anywhere near as greasy, so I guess that could be worth a couple bucks. :P
Overall, I’d say Dewey’s is good if you’re feeling a lighter, fresh and flavorful pizza option. The husband ranks it ⁸⁄₁₀.

Dinner at Deweys was outstanding!!! Had the southwest bbq pizza with the peppercorn ranch salad…
The pizza for some reason was much better usual… Great meal for the two of us for 30 bucks

The best pizza in the world and this is coming from someone who is highly critical of pizza. Great customer service if you eat in. Not so customer friendly on the take out side. But since the pizza is do fabulous I can ignore the awkward take out process

Third time at this new location — love that we have a Dewey’s on the west side. Service is always fast and awesome. Pizza is fresh, innovative and delicious. I never vary from the Green Lantern — pizza perfection in every bite! Even my son, who used to be a Larosa’s fan, is now addicted to Dewey’s. Yes, it’s busy but worth the wait.

Pizza’s are one of a kind. Im a stickler for crust. I prefer thin however Dewey’s is my exception. My family’s favorite is the BBQ Chicken. Simply amazing! We also like the Hawaiian. Make sure you dip everything in their house made ranch dressing!!! Salads are as good as Bonefish! Yes I enjoy Anchovies on my Cesar salad. Mmm. Stick to water unless you love craft beer.

I love Dewey’s Pizza. It always taste amazing. This is a really new location so it has been packed every time I drive by. That being said, plan accordingly. We got there around 5:15pm and just beat the rush. We heard people quoted 1 hour to 1 hour and 45 minutes after being there for 15 minutes. The service is a little slow on pizzas but they are always friendly and keep the drinks coming. Most likely this is because most of these employees are new. Give them a little longer and this place will be rocking it out all the time. If you have never been to a Dewey’s pizza, I would check this location out.

Was packed cause they just opened but wow good pizza and they have so many people helping u never have a empty glass. Good craft beers on the menu and overall a great experience. Try it if you haven’t! Wanted to follow up also that the carry out is working hard to get ur pizzas out to u with overwhelming to go orders. Thanks again for Westside deweys!
