One thing Wilmington's food scene doesn't get enough credit for is creative pizza -- and La…read morePizzeria Metro absolutely nails it. Their pizzas somehow manage to feel both authentic and wildly inventive at the same time. The crust is consistently excellent, the ingredients taste fresh, and the specialty combinations are genuinely creative without trying too hard. You can tell there's real thought behind every pie. What I appreciate most is that they don't just rely on the classics -- they push the menu in fun, unexpected directions while still respecting what makes great pizza great. Every time I go, I end up wanting to try something different because the menu is that interesting. Easily one of the more unique pizza spots in Wilmington.

If I have to pick one, The Triangle is my most favorite. We stopped by 30 minutes before closing. They were only offering takeout. The pizzas were still amazing right before closing. That's impressive. Plenty of parking out front. Friendly, helpful staff. The decor is pretty standard pizza place - not polished or refined but clean. You should definitely stop by.

I ordered three pizzas: Upside down, White & Pepperoni. Ordered three sandwiches: One chicken steak, two beef steak. Wings: two orders. For starters we loved the wings - crispy and meaty and not at all greasy. The pizzas were also a hit. The thin crispy crust was great and cooked just right. All of them were delicious but our favorite was the pepperoni. The cheesesteaks - wow!! Seriously the BEST cheesesteaks in town. You can taste the cheese in every single bite. The sandwiches were loaded with chicken or beef and the seeded roll was fresh. The only thing that could have been better? The pizza temperature. Oddly, when we arrived home (about 10 minutes later), the pizzas weren't hot? The wings and the cheesesteaks were both perfect. Ordering and pick up was a breeze. The staff were friendly and the food was very good. Our only regret is that we haven't tried this place sooner! We will definitely be back. Hopefully the pizza will be hot.

Place was pretty cool inside, old school vibes with the flooring, wall posters, and even video games. Had to wait about twenty minutes for a table for three, not a big deal, as it was a Friday night and somewhat expected. Prices were a little high, but not crazy. Service was good, food came out fairly quickly. Ordered a couple of pizzas, steak sandwich and fries. Round pizza was decent. Detroit was underwhelming, and was really hard to eat. It was very difficult to get off of the screen, very sloppy, not a lot of crisp-was really hoping for a better pie. Steak sandwich was fine-roll was decent, meat was seasoned, but didn't really set itself apart. I will say the bar area had a really good vibe, and I could maybe see myself returning for a couple of drinks and maybe some apps. Wish I could give a three and a half, but unfortunately it didn't really earn a four for me.

It is a clean and small independent pizzeria. Slices were available. The guy put it in the oven and then disappeared outside to make a phone call.

I was told 35 minutes which seemed long so I went just a bit early. Got there in 30 minutes and my food was ready for pickup. I have a feeling I should have gone at 20 minutes instead of 30, I think both items sat a bit longer than they needed to. The pizza was solid, nice crust and plenty of ham. The spaghetti was a bit mushy but still good. But the meatballs were banging, I wish I had ordered more! It comes with a roll, which is 2 of their garlic knots. These were also the croutons on the salad. The salad was good but they use finely sliced onions, which is a turn off for me, I prefer thicker slices on my sandwiches and salads. Nice little store with parking available and easily accessible off of edgmont ave. Store front has plenty of sodas, chips, and dessert items available. Would definitely go back when I'm in the area!
