I stopped by here to grab 2 slices of pepperoni pizza and a diet coke for lunch. Like many a pizza place, this was a lunch special. My family doesn't like pepperoni, and- after over 20 years of being a vegetarian- this has become such a weird treat to eat when I'm out alone. Besides that pizza slices are really fast to serve, friendly to eat on the go, and an easy way to try out different pizza places.
I was headed deep into the heart of Delray via Seacrest, and when I saw the sign for Uptown Pizza, I pulled into the tiny rundown-looking strip mall surrounded by upscale neighborhoods.
Ironically, the sign looked anything but 'uptown!' It didn't have a hipster vibe to it at all, and it definitely screamed "affordable" to me. Very little parking, but I nabbed a spot.
It was pretty hot inside, and it ends up their air conditioning had broken earlier and the staff was waiting a repair person scheduled to arrive later that day. It was still during hot South Florida summer, and I really felt for the people working in there. I have to say, for folks who were dealing with this, the employees were gracious, kind, and pumping out lunch orders with ease. If this is how people act on their worst day, they must be saints on their good days. Bantering with regular customers, smiling throughout everything: I was impressed!
The pizza was tasty, the transaction was quick, and the location was so convenient. Thanks, Uptown Pizza!
