Who cheers when a new pizzeria opens in the neighborhood? I do! Doubleplusgood if it's a keeper.
Twice, after wearing out our toddler at Mayfair Park, we've called ahead to pick up a DPC pie on the short trip home. We're a split household on pizza in many ways--she likes thin crust, minimal cheese, and no toppings. I appreciate this, but prefer more oomph. However, DPC is cool with cheese on one side, toppings on the other--much appreciated.
Our first pie was within a week of their opening, a deep dish. Last night, we went for the standard thin crust. I'll give a thumbs-up to the spicy sauce, quality toppings, and generous cheese. While I'm ambivalent about the crust, she really digs both versions. Surprisingly, I prefer the thin crust, which folds up just right without being flimsy. The deep dish was ok, but it fell short of my hopes.
I give props to the staff for having our pizza ready ahead of schedule both times. You can't overestimate good service, even with takeout!
My only complaint is that they should drop the prices a few bucks. An 18" thin crust with three toppings exceeds $26 after tax and one hungry dude could take it himself.
Overall, DPC scores 3.5 stars in my book. It's better than "A-ok."
