Derango’s Pizza Palace and Restaurant

Service isn’t the greatest and the inside is outdated but the food is good. Their sauce is sweet. Some like that and some don’t but if you little authentic Italian, it’s a decent enough place.

The Italian food might be decent but the steaks are awful. Tried to order prime rib and was told that they were sold of of medium rare by 6:45pm. Was also informed that the prime rib is frozen and then they reheat it in microwave.

I have friends that brag about this place but I did not get it
We had a large pizza, pasta and cheese Styx
Pizza had a nice sauce and really nice and thin
Loved the pizza
Service was a bit slow
Had to ask twice for a cup of ice
Did not offer a kids menu
But they did pull together a small portion for my daughter
I will try this place again
Sometime

2 stars for decent pizza.
Everything else is garbage, sorry.
I got fettuccine Alfredo because I was craving it bad, it wasn’t even that! It was just super garlicy which isn’t what Alfredo is supposed to taste like. It was runny and just bad!
The spaghetti wasn’t good either but it wasn’t horrible. But we’ll be going back just for the pizza.

I have to wonder about the 5-​star ratings given this restaurant as I have to wonder about the 1-​star reviews. Neither seem right. 3 stars is a good review for this restaurant’s pizza, service and décor. The service on the Thursday night we were there was pretty good … friendly, average speed … nothing to complain about. The décor is pretty nice … not sure how to describe it, but comfortable. The pizza … thin, thin crust with a fair amount of toppings. It tasted good, but not great … 3 stars. In Chicago and its suburbs, where people know pizza, this Derango’s pizza would rate one star less. Still, I would come back again for another pizza.

1^st clue for us should of been that the place was empty on a Sunday night at 5 pm. As a matter of fact has this place ever been busy??? Terrible service, dirty and a bad manager. We only went because my grandma lives near there. Left and went to Infusinos on Rapids. What a difference! Stay far, far away. If I could I would give 0 stars.

Always a good place! Been going here for over. 30 years. Family owned and food is nicely done!

With some many pizza places in Racine this is the best hands down awesome sauce and lots of cheese

Best pizza I have ever had!!! They even have gluten free crust! Service is quick and ownership is very nice and easy to talk to. I am definitely coming back soon.

Very good thin crust pizza. Decent priced and fast delivery. Will be a stop on my way through next time.

I’M sorry to say the pizza was not very good.
I was there for a birthday party last night it was my son’s girl friend’s 21^st and she sent one of the pizza’s back because it was under cooked, while she was opening her gift’s the co-​owner? and waitress asked to speak with her outside the party room, and all we could hear is the co-​owner? shouting at her that the pizza was not under cooked, Her uncle had to step in and yell at the cook for yelling at her. Are you kidding me how classless of this co-​owner. I would not go back just on the pizza alone but to be so rude to some young lady over 1 pizza I can not forgive. My advice stay away.

Went in to have breakfast this morning as I had been told that they had a pretty good breakfast. My wife and I arrived and were seated right away by ourselves, as in there was no one else in the restaurant. When we sat down we could hear the manager telling the waitress that she had done something wrong and he was lecturing her on how to do it correct. Something about putting the credit card receipts in the correct spot. The reason I mention this is we could hear it clear across the room, probably should have talked with her in the back or at least quieter so customers did not hear it.
My wife ordered a Denver Omelet with bacon, I ordered a vegetable skillet minus feta cheese add cheddar cheese, both of us requested Italian bread. When our food arrived it looked great but I realized to my disappointment that the waitress forgot to ask what type of egg I wanted so she made the decision for me.
Of course she could have walked 10 over to our table to ask what I wanted but instead she decided that I wanted scrambled eggs (which I didn t). I moved on but after cutting into my eggs I found them to be under-​cooked. To the point that raw egg was dripping out of it. I ended up scraping all the eggs off my skillet and throwing them on a napkin.
Now that I was raw egg free, I took my first actual bit of my skillet and realized to my horror that they did not put cheddar cheese on my skillet as I requested. They threw liquid cheddar cheese on it like you would use on nachos, it was disgusting. So I spent the new couple of minutes scrapping all of the cheddar and as a result vegetables off the vegetables off of the skillet and was left with hash browns.
You can t go wrong with hash browns right? Wrong! They forgot to cook them, they were cold in the middle and were raw to the point of being crunchy. After all of that I paid nearly $ 7.00 for some toast, I could have picked up a few loafs and been much happier with the end result.
The waitress looked at my pile of eggs on the napkin, looked at my pile of nacho vegetables and pretended she did not notice them. Never once were we asked how the food was? Never once were we asked if there was a problem with the food I was piling up and not eating. When she came to pick up the plates full of food she only asked if we were finished and took it all away. It was almost like this was pretty standard at Derango s and nothing new.
My wife s omelet was decent she said, nothing special but at least it was cooked. In the end i was handed a $ 16.00 bill which is not on the cheap side for Racine. I could have gone to Cliff s Boathouse, Douglas Diner, Kiss the Cook, etc. and gotten myself a great breakfast for half this cost. Instead I overpaid for bad food!
Finally it has been about 45 minutes or so since we had our meal and I have one hell of a stomach ache. Maybe I will be in the hospital by the end of the day with salmonella who knows. Please stay away from this restaurant for your own good!

I really really liked our thin crust pizza. We got half veggie and half cheese and sausage. The pizza sauce really stood out and the thin crust crispy and cooked to perfection. I liked this place much better thgan Dino’s and will come again.

it’s been maybe two years since we have been here but food was terrible and nothing like watching owners and or staff yelling behind the bar. never went back !!! was kinda weird nothing like the other derango’s

First, there was something brown floating in my water. Second, we waited 20 minutes just to get our soup. On that note, the Chicken Noodle soup was good (not great). I had the Prime Rib and for the 1^st time ever getting Prime Rib, I got the «butt» (end) part. Not good. Mashed potatoes were very dry. They were accommodating in upgrading my soup from a cup to a bowl in place of a salad. Bonus is they have a vegetable of the day! We spent over an hour having supper which to me is way too long. The pizza is great so if you go here, just get that.

I eat here often because it is close to home. Very good pizza and simple but good Italian food. Bring an appetite they have large portions. Full service bar and carryout service. Not the fanciest restaurant but you will leave full and happy.
