Peppercorn Ranch Salad
Phuong L.

This was our first time at Dewey's. We've heard their pizzas are delicious. I chose to celebrate my 40th birthday here today with my little family. I agree that the salad and pizzas were fantastic! Their service was horrible! We were given the wrong bill. We did not look at it. We just gave the waitress our card. When we were about to leave gratuity and sign it, we realized it was not our bill. It was definitely less than what ours would have been. We are honest people so we took it upon ourself to let them know. When they took our pizzas back to pack it up for us, the waitress informed us that she dropped the left over cheese pizza. She apologized and said she would take it off our bill and make a new one. Apparently the manager was suppose to come talk to us. The waitress came by and asked if the manager stopped by. He did not at all. We've all been done eating and we're just waiting for the new "cheese pizza" they were suppose to make for us. We sat there for about another 10-15mins waiting for the cheese pizza. We decided to just get up and leave. We saw the waitress and she said it's done and she would go get it. She came back out and walked straight to the manager. Apparently there was so many miscommunication between the kitchen, the waitress and manager. There was no new pizza being made for us. Literally wasted our time and energy. Disappointed on how management is! Our first time here and the whole experience was ruined.

White pizza with meatballs.

The pizza was hot & fresh, meatballs were big and seasoned well, and the manager is the absolute best. I also usually get the peppercorn Ranch Salad and it has never let me down. Would absolutely recommend.

Southwest BBQ Chicken Pizza
Adam G.

Since moving to Ohio, Dewey's has been on my list of places to try. I finally got to try it this past weekend while visiting a friend in Dayton. We ordered take-out on a Friday night and it was ready in about 45 minutes. We went with a medium (13") southwest BBQ chicken pizza and split a full peppercorn ranch salad. The pizza has a bbq sauce base, topped with smoked cheddar & mozzarella cheeses, black bean-corn salsa, chicken and roasted red peppers. The salad included romaine lettuce, bacon, tomatoes, shaved parmesan, red onions, topped with peppercorn ranch dressing. For some reason I was expecting Deweys to be a mainly carry out/delivery pizza joint, so was pleasantly surprised when I picked up the order -- the inside was packed with people dining in, they have a full bar and plenty of seating. One of the coolest parts was the glass panes that provide direct view of the staff members making the pizzas by hand. There were several children lined up watching, and I also enjoyed watching while I waited for the food to be brought out. The pizza was packed with flavor and I enjoyed the corn and black bean salsa. If I'm being hypercritical, the crust could have been a little crispier and I would have preferred the red peppers to have been cooked a bit more. However, I would definitely order the same pizza again. That said, since they have such a large selection of specialty pizzas, I could also see myself trying a different one! All in all, will definitely be ordering from Dewey's again.

Very unprofessional I tried to call and place an order over the phone They can't. I walked in and try to explain them Half half They can't. My first and last time ‼

Dewey's Pizza... where do i begin? First off, my lovely girlfriend and i were seated very quickly even when they were busy on a saturday night. and the pizza came out just as fast. Service was a 10/10; i was asked if i wanted a refill, more napkins, a box for our pizza, ect.. i was attended to more times in my hour long stay than my parents did to me as a toddler. just kidding, my parents love me. but that's besides the point, what im getting at here is there was never a dull moment here at Dewey's pizza. As for the food: My amazingly great girlfriend and i got the caprice pizza. the crust was fantastic, softer than my pillow after a 24 hour shift at work. the tomato's were delightful, tasted like they were handpicked from the kind neighbors garden down the street in your friendly suburban neighborhood. and last but not least, the cheese. not too much but not too little, just like little bears soup. it was just perfect!!!! shout out to Dewey's pizza on brown st. Dayton Oh. will most definitely come back on a day where i need a quick pick me up. love the service, pizza, and atmosphere. y'all are the best

harvest salad. It's my absolute favorite!
Rhonda W.

Great pizza. Love to watch them toss and stretch the dough. Great service. Love they can do 1/2 of pizza of different type. Plus the they gave fabulous salads... the harvest is my favorite. They gave redecorated to be covid resistant. Only down side is finding parking is tricky.

First time at Dewey's. Place nice, clean, and busy but not overly busy. We started with a House Salad we split. It was tasty and big enough for both of us. We had a Large Specialty half and half, Don Corleone and Meatball. Don Corleone had plenty of Salami and Pepperoni toppings on a thick crust. Sauce is Spicy along with the Pepperoni. I thought it was ok my wife thought it was much too spicy. Meatball had plenty of Meatballs but was a little lean on the Fresh Mozzarella and Basil toppings. Some slices had hardly any at all on them. Servers were friendly and started out good but they seemed to be short handed and were not able to be as attentive as they should be. To be honest,we won't be back. There are too many other better pizza restaurants.

Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the fresh, delicious pizza, creative topping combinations, and friendly, attentive service. The lively atmosphere is also appreciated.

This place has really delicious pizza and appetizer options. All the pizzas I've tried thus far have been tasty. The thin crust is cooked well with a soft yet structured firmness. Toppings arent skimped so the flavors are abundant. The roasted cauliflower appetizer is also delicious! Subtly savory with a mild buttery flavor. The ambiance feels like a mash up of brewey/beer hall/ restaurant vibes. Casual and inviting for a relaxed pizza and beer night out. The staff are all very pleasant and professional.

The pizza is fresh and handmade, the only downside is that the pizza tends to be very greasy, and sometimes inconsistent. The service here is amazing. The first time I went to this establishment, there was a bit of a wait for the food. While this didn't pose a problem for me and I didn't feel inclined to complain, they gave me a gift card as an apology. This demonstrates that this business deeply cares about their service and quality. Especially because nobody had even made a comment about the wait time. Old scratch is a cozy little place, excellent for big groups or family gatherings. Their menus are excellently designed. All of their graphic design choices are very intentional and gorgeous. I love this place a lot!!

I am absolutely obsessed with Salar and can't wait to go back!…read more This sleek, upscale restaurant in downtown Dayton is dishing out the best food in the area. Every dish I've gotten and every plate I've seen come out of the kitchen is amazing and a wonderful sight. The duck is a personal favorite. It's always perfectly cooked with the right amount of pink and paired with Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. It also makes an amazing leftover since the portions are so big. The steak though is a dining staple. The Delmonico Ribeye shines at both a rare and medium rare cook and is just so flavorful. That's the steak I dream of and can't wait to have again. The servers are attentive, polite, and helpful when you ask for their thoughts on which dish to order. The bar is quick and makes some great drinks (based on friends' input). Salar isn't so upscale that you can only go for special occasions. It makes for a good mid-week dinner, meetup with friends and coworkers, but it can also be a treat yourself meal.

I know this was a challenge because another couple rolled up after us and also said "oh we are also looking for this place!" Second - service was... not great.

The tables on either sides... waited a long time for checks and table did not even get cleared for a good 30 to 40 minutes after they left. We had to request extra utensils.. the table only had a set for 2, and they sat the three of us. Towards the end, we ordered our desert to go and the check just so that we would not be stuck waiting... Third? Food is indeed amazing and delish! Their hummus was yummy. I loved my turkish soda with watermelon and strawberry. The tea was good. My husband tried the turkish tea - it was good.. my kebab meal originally did not come with rice - so i ordered a side of it. Important to mention because the rice is freakin delicious a. It was sooo aromatic - like I wantwd to eat two servings of it. Get it if you love rice. Husbands steak was a little chewier than he liked, but he agreed the rice was so good. Overall the food itself meth the expectations that other reviewers put. The service has room for improvement. I would definitely like to come back and give the last star for service..

We went into Table 33 with pretty low expectations. We'd been in Dayton the weekend before for a…read moreconcert and had a disappointing experience at another highly rated restaurant. Table 33 was within walking distance of our show at the Victoria Theatre, so we gave it a try. Let me be clear: Table 33 isn't good "for Dayton." This place could easily compete with some of Cincinnati's best restaurants. When you first enter, the host area feels pretty typical, so there's no indication of what's waiting beyond it. But as we turned left toward our dining area, we were shocked by how beautifully the restaurant opened up. Tucked throughout are gorgeous, quaint little private dining rooms. And I mean little in the best possible way. Some looked intimate enough for just you and your plus-one, while others could accommodate maybe four or six people. These aren't large event spaces. They're cozy, beautifully designed rooms for an intimate dinner for two or a private evening with a few friends. We told our server it was our first visit, and she walked us through the food and cocktail menus. We both ordered the Raspberry Beret. She completely undersold it. The bartender personally brought our cocktails out and explained the preparation. The cocktail is sous vide, then strained and allowed to rest for several days. I was fascinated. It arrived with three gorgeous blackberries and fresh mint attached to the glass with an adorable mini clothespin. Almost too pretty to drink. Almost. Because the Raspberry Beret was outstanding!!! From the technique to the flavor and presentation, there was genuine craft behind it. That's when I realized we'd seriously underestimated this place. Then came the Wild Mushroom Tempura and House Focaccia. The focaccia was warm, soft, buttery and delicious. Those mushrooms, however, made me ANGRY. Not because they were bad. Because I don't get to Dayton often, and suddenly I was faced with the very real possibility of driving 40 minutes for mushrooms! LOL Lightly battered, meaty and incredibly flavorful, the wasabi ponzu aioli and chili crisp brought creaminess, heat and brightness. They had me questioning my commitment to meat as a protein. I was planning my return visit after the first bite. For dinner, my fiancé ordered the Pan-Seared Scallops and I had the Chateaubriand. I don't often look at someone else's entrée and think, "You know what? I want his too." But then those scallops arrived. They were huge and beautifully golden, with the kind of sear that makes you silently wonder, "If he really loves me, he'll give me one." He did not... :) and to be fair, I didn't ask. So my eyes ate from his plate while he confirmed what they were telling me. He loved the citrus with the seafood and the velvety sauce. My Chateaubriand was gorgeous. Medium rare and perfectly even throughout. The petite potatoes were lightly roasted and salted, and as a sucker for root vegetables, I devoured the roasted carrots and beets. But the potato slaw? Brilliant. Those thin, crisp potatoes added exactly the texture the dish needed. I rarely finish an entire restaurant entrée. You would have thought I licked this plate clean. We were watching the clock because we still had an 8 to 10 min walk to the Victoria Theatre. Then our server casually said, "I noticed you marked maybe for the Dessert Room." Excuse me... (insert dramatic pause) Dessert ROOM?! I looked at my fiancé, who explained, "Yeah, I saw it when I made the reservation, but I wasn't sure what it was or if we'd have time, so I marked maybe." Well, now I needed to know. I didn't care if we had to sprint to the show. At minimum, I needed to see this room. And somehow, Table 33 delivered AGAIN. The Dessert Room is fabulously whimsical. Eclectic chandeliers stretch across the room against a beautiful soft gray backdrop, with comfortable upholstered chairs inviting you to settle in. There was nothing hard about this room. Everything felt soft, warm and intentional. The room felt designed to change the pace of the evening: sink into a comfortable chair, order something sweet or a dessert cocktail and relax. I genuinely wanted to stay, sample the desserts and try a couple of those cocktails, but we had a comedy show waiting. So we chose the affogato. Even that received the same attention as everything else. The espresso had none of that overly roasted, bitter flavor, and the gelato was incredibly smooth and creamy without a single detectable ice crystal. We enjoyed every bite, paid our bill and headed toward the Victoria Theatre. And talked about Table 33 for nearly the entire walk. That probably says more than anything else I could write. If you're in the area for a show, spending an evening downtown or simply looking for an excuse to explore Dayton, add Table 33 to your list of adventures. As for me? Apparently I'll be driving 40 minutes for mushrooms.

Did some serious yelp research to find this place. Went there for brunch on a Sunday morning…read more Downtown Dayton in the arcade parking on the street... But a great experience. They were a little bit busy on Sunday morning but we sat at the bar and were served by an inexperienced but delightful server.
