I have ordered pizza from this Cecil's numerous times and have never been disappointed. Cecil's is a local chain that serves St. Louis style pizza with the traditional crispy cracker thin crust topped with Provel cheese. In addition to the Provel, a hallmark of St. Louis style pizza, Cecil's adds a blend of additional chesses and spices that gives their pizza a distinctive taste distinguishing it from other St. Louis style pizzerias. Cecil's sauce is a little sweet to my taste but otherwise I have no criticism of their version of the pie. Their toppings are tasty and I have not had a bad pizza from any Cecil's location in over 15 years.
It has been quite a while since I ate inside this Cecil's location so the below is only regarding their delivery menu and service.
Their pizza is good if costly when compared to the advertised prices of national pizza chains. (None of which deliver this far down HWY 30) Their pasta, appetizers and sandwichs are either ok or less then good. But, are always better then anything being offered by the national chains. The quality of the items from this Cecil's depends two things. 1) how fast the delivery driver brings you the food and 2) how your food packed. (i.e. Was the cold salad placed in the same bag as the piping hot pasta? Where the toasted ravioli cooked 20minutes before the driver picked them up meaning the arrive hard as rocks? Etc.) I don't think anything is fresh or hand made at Cecil's. Their menu never changes. Instead it tastes like pre-made then frozen and some menu item's taste precooked and then reheated. Still, I continue to order from Cecil's and enjoy their food for what it is.
I have noted the Cedar Hill Location seems to be a little pricey when compared to other locations in the chain.
If your hungry and find yourself in Cedar Hill, Cecil Whittaker's is one of the only choices you have but, it would not still be in business if it wasn't decent. A number of restaunts have started and failed in this area over the recent years. Also, there is another, "Italian," restaurant in Cedar Hill that also offer a very similar menu and pizza delivery. The competition is notable (if your a local). read more
