The food is consistently superb. The pizzas are well balanced and delightful in both texture and flavor. The rich sauce, smooth cheese, and various toppings combine into a tasteful experience. The roasted carrots is of particular note. Meatballs and polenta or the garlic knots are among the best Ive tasted and make me want to go back for more. This review would have been five stars were it not for the spotty service. Earlier this evening we entered the restaurant and asked for a table of 3. There were multiple tables available with about 30 seats among them. The host informed us that it would be a 30 minute wait. I counted about 22 people at the bar and otherwise not seated at a table so I imagined it would be quick enough. 46 minutes later after watching only two parties of 4 and 2 respectively be seated, we were escorted to our table. The table had no silverware, no cups, no plates and was next to two tables which had been properly prepared. After about ten minutes a waiter brought us water and three plates. Two were dirty. When we asked for replacement plates we also ordered our appetizers. The appetizers arrived without plates and we still had no silverware nor did we have napkins which I then requested. The server brought us three forks and we asked for napkins again and ordered our two pizzas. After waiting for the server to bring napkins and unsuccessfully trying to get his attention I got up, walked to the host stand and after unsuccessfully getting his attention, I walked around and got three napkins and walked back to my table. Due to the wait for silverware and napkins our pizza was ready well before we finished our appetizers. The waiter then dropped off two pizzas and the two plates we requested without taking the dirty plates. Our table was very cluttered as a result and our water wasnt refilled until after we had completed our meal and after the third attempt to request. With that said the food was very good and arguably some of the best Ive eaten. The meatball was spicy and meaty with the smooth polenta balancing it out perfectly. The doughy garlic knots and sauces were complemented by the trio of dipping sauces. The pepperoni pizza was ordered with egg and mushroom added. It was excellently prepared and the ingredients were top notch as usual. I had the prosciutto pizza with an egg that was hauntingly good. Again, the food was great as always, the service was simply deplorable.

Im not a picky guy. We walked into Pizza Domenica on a Sunday at 5:15pm or so. It was fairly busy but the entrie time we were there several tables remained open. We were told there would be a 45 minute wait for a table. We proceeded to the bar for a cocktail and to look a the menu. There was one lonely spot available so I took it. I asked to try a beer that I hadnt heard of, and the bartender brought me a full pint. Guess Im committed, hope I like it. My wife and her friend thought lets just order food and bring it back to the house. The bartender made it clear that was a no no for the happy hour special, that fine, I understand. She really had enough of my questions. I figured well lets order and eat there then. At 5:40 we order an app & 2 pizzas. After 15 minutes the app, Bread knots cam out burnt. Tasty but burnt. Oh well, I still enjoyed them. My lady friends found a spot at the bar next to me after a couple people leave. The bartender made a big deal that we cancel our name on the table wait list, Im sure so she can get the tip vs us taking our food to a table. i watched the couple next to us eat their pizza and the bartender boxed up what they had left. I really had to wave to get a second beer from this gal. Like pulling teeth to get acknowledgment from her now. Roughy 6:40 our pizza shows up after a trip to the hostess stand to find the manager to see if she actually put our food order in. It was pretty darned good pizza. Love the crust. We ate our fill and the bartender asked if we wanted a box she just tossed it on the bar, guess well put our own pizza in the box. Bill comes, guess I have to ask if I want the special price on beer too. Overall the pizza and app were good. The service on the other hand needs some help, ok, lots of help. Would I recommend it? Maybe???

We came in on a Sunday for lunch. They were able to seat six of us right away. The food was really good for the most part. We started with the Garlic Knots. They were to die for! The dipping cheese that is served with it is heaven in bowl. I ordered biscuits and gravy off of the special brunch menu and they were really good! The portion was small though, but the Pizzas are huge and my family ordered 3 different pizzas and we had plenty to share. I will say there were only 2 things everyone was a little disappointed with. The first being the Muffaletta Pizza, it had some sort of weird honey mustard sauce that didnt seem to belong. The second was the service, the restaurant didnt not seem very busy however the service was a little on the slow side. Overall it was a good experience, and we will back again. I would recommend this place to anyone who asked.

The negatives at Pizza Domenica are few and far between. When busy it is incredibly loud, so loud that you have to shout to be heard even across a small table. The waiter I had couldnt offer helpful advice about drink selection. The drink menu itself is very appealing. Broad enough to offer plenty of variety and choice without being overwhelming. I had the catty whompus and enjoyed it. Both pizzas were topped with quality ingredients in the right proportions. The crust was exactly what Id expect and want from a quality pizzeria. If I lived in New Orleans I could easily imagine going here every other week for happy hour (3 to 5 on weekdays, half off pizzas, beer, and wine).

I think the pizza here is great, but I feel ripped off every time I go. When I go here, I always stop after I get off work. I get a couple of pizzas to go. Since it is during happy hour the pizzas are half price…. EXCEPT on to-go orders. I have a 6 month old that my wife brings home from day care at the same time I am getting dinner. I want to be at home so that we can have a nice dinner and a bit of baby snuggle time. So every time I go instead of paying the 20$ for two pizza’s I end up paying 40$ for the same two pizza’s. I would rate them 5 stars except for the 50% penalty I am paying because I want to enjoy a little quiet at home.

After being seated a waitress introduced herself as our server and took our pizza order. After a few minutes a waiter introduced himself as our server and took our order. We ordered an appetizer, a muffuletta pizza and two bottled beers. The appetizer was delicious. One of the beers arrived in a can without notice (prefer bottled beer). The pizza looked like a muffuletta but tasted like mayonaise. We also ordered the banana pudding which consisted of a bowl of vanilla wafers and four slices of a banana with a topping and no pudding. Found out later they ran out of banana pudding and served us wafers. Very disappointing experience!
