Catalina's Pizza is now my "go to" pizzeria. I had never heard of the place and happened to see one of their menus on the mailbox. Generally I'll ignore such brochures but for whatever reason I took it. I am very glad I did.
The other night I was hungry & too lazy to go out so I decided to give them a try. Again, I am very glad I did. I'm usually skeptical of new places, especially pizza places but I ordered a simple cheese pizza. The man taking the call was pleasant, the delivery man was very courteous and professional and deserving of a good tip and the best part, the pizza itself.
The price is incredible, only $7.00, they have a $10.00 minimum for delivery so I ordered a salad as well but back to the pizza, I was incredibly & pleasantly surprised how delicious it was. Because it was so good I had a slice or two more than I should but no regrets. I enjoyed every bite.
The pizza was cooked perfectly, the right amount of cheese and sauce and the dough was out of this world. The crust was so fresh, tasty, great texture and really made the pizza all the better. The price is cheap but the pizza is hardly cheaply made. The ingredients were high quality and it showed with the end product. I've eaten a lot of pizza in my day this was some of the best pizza I had in quite some time.
Catalina's Pizza has only been in business for a few months and when I called the place tonight for another pizza I told the owner how pleased I was and to consider me a loyal customer of Catalina's Pizza moving forward. He was pleased to hear that and thanked me. Even on a busy Saturday night he took the time to tell me that even though he has low prices to attract customers he only uses high quality ingredients.
Being a new business there is a learning curve but Catalina's Pizza is committed to it's customers by providing the best product and service possible. To those few who posted less than positive reviews I ask that you give Catalina's another chance, if not now then sometime down the line.
Again, it's a new place and with restaurants I know first hand it takes time to get things down right. Mistakes will be made, things will be tried, some good, some not whether it be the food, service, etc. People spend their money and want to be satisfied, I get it, so do I but at times we are too quick to criticize. Clearly no business will win everybody but Catalina's has won me over.
Catalina's gets five stars from me. I've only ordered pizza, two times and both were superb. In time I will venture out to other items. I don't expect nor require perfection, my five stars isn't about that. The salad I got was ok, very fresh but nothing great so I'm sure they will have to keep pushing and improving. My five stars is because yes, the pizza was awesome, awesome taste, good price but more importantly I support the business because I feel like I'm valued customer at Catalina's Pizza. It's a small business competing in a tough market but I like what they are doing and how they are doing it.
Give Catalina's Pizza a try. I am very confident that, like me, you will be very happy that you did. read more
