Destini's Pizzeria

This pizza place was recommended to us by a couple co-workers and it's located a bit north of downtown. Their website left a bad impression on us as it is quite sloppy with words that are all in different colors and sizes that appear to be hyperlinks or not. There's also some ad banner at the top that makes it look like it was created in the nineties. Also, the menu might not load properly at first as it didn't for us a few times.

We ordered the Tuesday special which is a large pizza with a topping as we got pepperoni. We also got a side order of jalapeno poppers and a lunch special of a deep fried chicken whopper sandwich with fries. The delivery came on time and everything was there. The couple extra blue cheeses we requested though for fifty cents each were so small and it was probably the smallest extra cup of blue cheese we got from a pizza place. It's still much better than the lazy method of just a packet of Ken's blue cheese that Prima Pizza once gave us which isn't even that well. The jalapeno poppers were missing a certain hot flavor to them. They were hot in temperature, but it tasted like plain cheese poppers rather than having that jalapeno touch added.

The pizza didn't look like our usual Buffalo pizza. It looked different, but still fine. We've noticed lately pizzerias have been switching to using the square cut style, like this place, than the triangles. The pizza overall was very thin where you could fold it and eat it like a taco easily. It had a bunch of green colored spices on it and the crust was flat. It was so thin that two separate slices were sticking to the wax paper on the bottom and the cheese couldn't come off. It's a pizza where only two hungry men could finish... we've had pizzas, such as La Nova & Mister Pizza, where three men couldn't finish a large. After a while, we noticed the pizza filling us up and that there was more oil on it than sauce like at Casa-di-Pizza so it was harder to go down. The problem with most pizza places is that they forget one of the three main pizza ingredients. The dough and cheese are always present, but if there's just little to no sauce on it, then it isn't a complete pizza.

Aside from the pizza, this is actually a deep menu just for other things typically you can get else where. The whopper sandwich was a fine size and it had plenty of fries with packets of ketchup and salt. Plus, all the prices are cheaper than the casual deli and offer lunch and daily specials. Though we didn't explore the other parts of the menu in our mouths, it looks compelling enough to try their other foods from there another time. From pita sandwiches to cheap burgers to hoagies to the traditional deli sandwiches, the average cost is around $5. Think twice next time where you're ordering from because a pizza place might just work for other foods.

Final Rating: 3.0 out of 5
