It was quiet when we first entered, had a cocktail, and left, only to return two hours later for Happy Hour. They had a great deal, but it's for the bar only. Staff was super accommodating and helpful with selections. It does get packed, so try to be there early to grab a comfortable seat. There was a moment we were forgotten, but they did add complimentary item for the offense. To me, their customer service is top-notch. We enjoyed our Mark's Special, a little on the greasy side, but what pizza isn't nowadays? It paired well with my wine. The place was nicely decorated and had a classy dining appeal. I would return again if I was in the area! read more

I wanted to like this place much more than I actually did. D.L. Mack's is a beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere. The service was fine. Nothing outstanding, but decent, especially because they were pretty slammed on a Saturday evening. Where it fell short for me was the food and beverages, which is kind of a big deal. I ordered a drink that was OJ, Sprite and vanilla. It was waaaaay too sweet and the OJ tasted like it had been in a pitcher that also was used for mimosas. It needed some cream, not vanilla syrup. It was just impossibly sweet, and pretty much undrinkable. For an appetizer, we had the spinach and artichoke dip. It was good- not outstanding, but good. Not worth $19, that's for sure. It felt more like a $14 effort. For my entree, I had the Chinese chicken salad which I initially had to send back because it was so spicy. There is no indication on the menu description that this dish is spicy, but when I voiced concern to the waiter that it was not edible, he said they could take out the chili oil. I really wish they had listed this as a separate ingredient on the menu description. I cannot remember a time in my adult life I have ever sent something back on account that it was too spicy, because restaurants typically mention that and it can be modified. I felt wasteful sending it back, but it could've been avoided by communicating that the dish is spicy. Not just spicy, but it was like on fire spicy where I could not taste any other flavors. The Chinese Chicken Salad also had tortilla strips instead of wonton crisps. It says it on the menu, but I wasn't prepared for how much this dialed down the joy-factor in the dish. I didn't like it. The only upside to the dish was the chicken itself which was sous vide and was delicious. Overall beautiful restaurant but I did not enjoy the food or drink at all. I wish I had a better experience- I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant but felt like the misses here were just sloppy planning. read more

Lunch on a Thursday. Love the ambience and service was pretty good. However, my cheeseburger while pink inside was burnt on the outside. It just did not have a good flavor at all. I've had it many times and this was just not cooked right. Could've sent it back, but we waited a long time to get it and neither of us had a lot more time to spend at lunch. I ordered a mushroom and sausage pizza to go. I wish I had opened it to look at it when I was still at the restaurant. When I got home, it looked ok except it had a black ring around the outside. The bottom crust was all burned. Every bite tasted burned. Terrible. This did not need to happen. Pretty sure or hope it was an anomaly, but when it happens to both the burger and the pizza it has to be called out. read more

The inside is very quaint and it definitely gives Chicago vibes, I love the pizza and how it was cracker thin, the spinach dip was very good. The only downside is they don't give refills on sodas. I definitely think they should change that other than that, it was a very nice meal. I would definitely return! read more

Another great visit at DL Mack's . Left a happy hour in Plano and came south for a Chicago style pie. Absolutely love them. Service is always top notch. We got there late for happy hour so we had to sit on the patio, which was a bit hot but still enjoyable. They may want to look at building shades and misters for their outside area. I mean, summer in Dallas... come on. read more

Beautiful restaurant me and my wife enjoyed ourselves. The server was nice answered all the questions we had! The food: Chicken meatballs: Excellent flavor and really a good bite. Might've been the best thing we had! Caesar salad: We are Ceaser salad people! It was great one of the better one out there. T Chicken Tenders: They were pretty Good didn't expect to like them that much. My only complaint is they got real soggy when you got to the mid/bottom they were soggy! The honey mustard dipping sauce was elite. Chicken Parm: It was a pretty dish but it was cooked a little too long some pieces tasted burnt and were a little too hard. I would give it another try one day to see if this was the truth. The Chicago Special Pizza: It was just ok I wanted to like it way more. It Just lacked flavor it didn't taste like much at all. It had a nice crunch and it was cooked real well but it wasn't the best. read more

I originally was a fan of Houston's. Houston's closed but is owned by Hillstone (also on Preston, but closer to Northwest Highway). Those geniuses stopped selling chicken tenders, so I gave this place a try. Before I begin, I want to clear up some confusion about this place. If you intend to eat at the GREEN building location near SMU, you want to eat at the Hillcrest location. If you want to eat at the Preston location (in the strip mall parking lot with Central Market), go to this location on Preston. I say that because some genius posted the wrong building photos on each address location. The photos of the green building are NOT for the Preston location! Having said that.... The location is on the corner of Preston & Royal... in the same parking lot with Central Market. Parking was great because it's in a strip mall parking lot. So there was adequate parking. Great location, great vibe on the inside. We were able to walk in and get a table in 30 minutes. We waited at the bar and tried an appetizer. Then got seated when our table became open. As I said, we ordered an appetizer. Try the smoked salmon! That with the sauce is AMAZING! I wasn't too crazy about the pita bread pairing. They could have used a crispier bread to contrast it. But it's worth getting. My wife ordered a grilled chicken Cesar salad. She loved it. The dressing was more like a vinaigrette. I ordered the chicken tenders with honey mustard and mashed potatoes. All great choices. The mashed potatoes had carrot bits in them (I'm not a carrot guy), but the mashed potatoes tasted great. So I didn't mind the carrots. We tried the pizza. We ordered a Chicago pizza and added pepperoni and sausage. That with the hot honey was a smash hit. To be honest, the pizza wasn't so great the next day. If you're a fan of Houston's chicken tenders or smoked salmon, you'll love this place. I won't say that DL Mack's copied it. They just had the sense to keep it on the menu... and by coincidence, it tastes just as good- if not better. Great food. Great service. Great price. I highly recommend. Consider making reservations "just in case". read more

Fantastic spot for happy hour and hearty apps! Ambiance & Service: Old Hollywood vibes inside. Loved that we could make a happy hour reservation. Our server was super friendly and attentive! Food & Drink: - Lemon Drop Martini: Tart, refreshing, and not too sweet--perfect happy hour sip. - Spinach & Artichoke Dip: Creamy, savory, and elevated with salsa and sour cream. Thin, crispy chips were a hit! - Fries: Extra thin and crispy--best when hot. - Cheese Pizza: Thin, crunchy crust with just the right amount of sauce. TL;DR: Great service, cool atmosphere, and delicious happy hour bites--especially the spinach dip and lemon drop martini! read more

1) "Chicago style pizza" would never be served in Chicago (hot honey and jalapeño? Really?!?!) Throw out the current "Chicago Special" and replace it with this: * flat crust * garlic * grilled onions * sausage * pepperoni (if sausage is not your thing) * green peppers Cut it in squares and wrap it in a paper with a picture of Italy on it. You want a TRUE "Chicago special"? This will do it for you. 2) They advertise serving a "Chicago Handshake" but do not have Old Style. You cannot have a Chicago Handshake without Old Style. Miller does not do it. read more

Service was good and very quick! Knowledgeable server. I do wish the chicken was a little more bite sized on my the pizza but it was still delicious. Great portions and prices. The spinach dip was bland though . Get the lemon drop for sure read more

The service and food at this restaurant was amazing. We all had different pasta dishes and each were some of the best we've eaten. Ashton ws our server and she was gracious and accommodating, especially when we were accidentally seated in the Patio. The GM, Joesph made it a point to follow up on the seating issue, our mistake not theirs, and assured us a table would be available shortly. We were seated a few minutes later without issue. We highly recommend this restaurant and it's worth the wait when they're busy. read more

Not only was all the food delicious, but our server had a happiness that was infectious. We came 15 minutes before our reservation, and we were still seated instantly. I liked the vibes inside a lot! read more

D. L. Mack's - Pizza Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The menu changes every 90 days or so. Favorites disappear, new things arrive, prices change. The happy hour was bar/ bar seats only, then it went restaurant-wide, then it went back to bar seats exclusively. They took my favorite drink off the happy hour, the frozen paloma and more disappointingly, I just never know what to expect when I walk in any more. Bar used to be PACKED and now it seems not so much. Nothing that disappoints more than a restaurant with no consistency in menu, happy hour and general expectations. I live a few hundred yards away and will be going a lot less now unless they revert back. I wish this was the consistent neighborhood spot it is for periods of time. I hate that Vandalay changes menus, happy hours, and rules so frequently. Oh, well - their loss, I suppose. read more

Consistently bad service, and the gate keep their round booth, as if they're the greatest thing on the face of the Earth. The hostesses have an attitude, and it's just not worth the hassle when there are plenty of better options out there. The manager Joseph Gutierrez also doesn't seem to care about anything. read more

Food was solid but service could be much improved. It felt like attention was not provided at all by our waitress. At one point, (I believe) the manager even asked how long we had been waiting for a drink. We politely said a couple minutes even though it had been more than 10 and it was simply a beer. This was a constant occurrence with our server which, fortunately, we weren't in a hurry, but was still frustrating! read more

D. L. Mack's - Updated Menu. - Pizza Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I gave it three tries to dine, tried to reach the General Manager to give direct feedback but did not get a response, so giving it here. We enjoy the food and the cocktails are delicious. The service absolutely sucks. Every time we come here we dine at the bar. The bartenders are too busy doing their side work to take care of the guests. The last time the food runner dropped off our pizza and never looked back, she wanted to get back to playing on her phone. The bartender came back in from taking out the trash, never washed his hands and started making drinks. They were all on their phones. It was difficult to get anyone's attention for more drinks or red pepper, we had to get up and get them each time we wanted something. We were sitting in the middle of the bar at 8pm read more

Wow this place has DECLINED! I work in the same shopping center and have gone there with coworkers perhaps every 2 months. Went today at 4 pm and got seated. NO ONE came to our table for 20 min-- we finally flagged someone down and ordered 2 glasses of chardonnay. server came back and said whoops -- we are out of all Chardonnay ?!?! Are you kidding? Prices have gone way up, service down, clearly poor management. Bye D L Mack read more

My husband loves their pepperoni pizza. Its thin crust is perfect. The pieces are cut in small squares. Easier to eat, but also easier to eat too much! Haha! I ordered the deviled eggs and they really hit the spot. The eggs weren't on the Togo menu, but hubby asked when he picked up pizza! We want to go back for happy hour! Hubby orders pizza often.

A great place for upscale comfort food! Nice intimate ambiance, with "Itilian New Yorker" feels. Winter was our waitress, and she was very hospitable and helpful while providing service! In our party of 5, we were seated in a corner both with more than enough elbow room for everyone. With great menu options to choose from, everyone choose different options and choose to share. Their deviled eggs are top tier, the pizza (cut into square pieces) was good, the cocktails were delicious and even the cornbread the use as crouton for salad are amazing(I could eat them by themselves) Experience 10 Service 10 Food 10 Loved it read more

Service was slow. They failed to bring one appetizer and our pizza. We went there because my daughter said they had great pizza. After telling us multiple times the pizza would be out soon our waiter finally admitted that another server had taken our pizza and that we would have to wait at least an additional 25 minutes for the pizza. We had already been there for an hour and 20 minutes. So we asked for the check, paid and left. The spinach artichoke dip was delicious, the salad was good, the chicken Parmesan tasted like a frozen breaded chicken from the freezer and the accompanying pasta was so spicy it wasn't edible. The French fries and pizza were both MIA. The server was nice. He placed a nice pedestal on our table to put the pizza on but ours never got used. We just got to stare at it to remind ourselves our pizza would be out soon. Pretty much a disaster and a big disappointment. read more
