    Caprice pizza - canned tomatoes were overly sweet; Ned's a red sauce for balance
    F.R. B.

    Consider the star for the food, but even that is generous. The crust is bland. Many of the toppings are not fresh. The balance of flavors on specialty pizzas is lacking. You will not find good food here. Nor atmosphere. Most especially, you will not find good service. We have been looking for a pizza parlor for a time. All of the parlors have stopped taking dine in orders. Delivery is fine, but sometimes, we want to dine in. We were excited to find Dewey's. Being at the mall is definitely annoying, but a full service parlor with a small but decent beer selection seemed ideal. The inside was clean and the show of the kitchen crew tossing the dough provided lackluster visual interest. However, the service was incompetent and antagonistic. We were there on the freezing day before Christmas. The roads were terrible. The dining room was empty. The service had plenty of time to be attentive. The service was divided between two young persons who must have been teenagers. They behaved as if they had never had a job before. They were just barely friendly, not knowledgeable of the menu, and untrained in serving a family with a small child. Despite their lack of skill, they were fine. If all we had to deal with were a couple of young, incompetent servers, it would've been fine. However, about 1/3 of the way through our meal and almost immediately after telling our server that we would likely take some time to allow our child to eat at their pace, another employee came over. Without even asking us, she attempted to shove a pizza box on our overcrowded table. The staff had put three stands down the center of our booth. Clearly, they were unaware that pizza stands are designed to hold two pizzas. As well as three stands, we had three glasses, three plates, pepper and cheese shakers, and napkins. Our table was OVER full. No one should have crammed so much onto our table...actually, Dewey's should use bigger tables. Pizzas take up space, and we had ordered small pizzas. Everyone had ignored us, and we had moved a stand and tray to a neighboring table. The young, unskilled servers, despite having zero other tables, never offered to clear our table to make space. So over comes this new person. Without asking us anything and certainly without trying to clear some space, she proceeded to shove an empty box onto our table. It would not fit. There was no room. The box would have hung off the edge of the table. When I asked what she was doing, she said she was being helpful. When I told her we didn't ask for a box, we might be taking our time to eat, and that there was no room for it, she stormed off. She said, "I'm not arguing with you." Clearly communication was not something anyone ever taught Rachel, because she refused to engage in any appropriate communication. We finished our meal uncomfortably. We cleared another tray off our table and had to ask a server to take our plates. We had to request a box when we were done eating, because no one could be bothered to provide us any service. Could the service get worse? Yes. Since pay is at the register, we had to interact with Rachel again. Instead of apologizing for the poor service and rude interaction, she doubled down on her bad behavior with faux, sickening sweet greetings. I asked for her name and she provided it and asked for mine. When I told her it was none of her effing business, she made sure to read my card so she could use my name in a pointed and sarcastic manner. I had enough and called her an a**hole. I have zero tolerance for such poor service and Rachel is certainly deserving of the title. Despite the poor service, I tipped our servers $35 each. They were unskilled and untrained but with Rachel as the apparent manager, I didn't want to punish them for such a toxic work environment.

    Half artichokes, roasted red peppers, and fresh basil, half pepperoni and banana pepper

    I love Dewey's! Definitely one of my favorite pizza joints in the area. You can dine in or order for pickup...I usually order my pizza online and pick it up in store to take home. They have several unique pizzas and salads and a good variety of toppings to create your own. Most recently I got artichokes, roasted red pepper, and fresh basil and it was delish! The crust is thin and the pizza isn't greasy...it doesn't make you feel super heavy or gross after which is a huge plus. I wish they delivered but definitely not a deal breaker. Totally recommend!

    the Elote is almost gone and the ol' faithful pepperoni and banana pepper is barely touched. life changed.

    i've always considered Dewey's to be an average pizza place - one that won't let you down but is otherwise unremarkable. that was, until this last Sunday... Danielle and I had to run to my office to drop something off and we went to Dewey's for lunch as it was nearby. upon our arrival i was reminded that the current pizza special was an elote pizza and it intrigued me. though i still had reservations. we agreed to order a small one and a small "go-to" pepperoni and banana pepper. folks, i gotta tell you, my life was changed that day. i'm of the mindset, normally, that pizza requires red sauce. that's just my preference. this pizza had no red sauce but was F'ING INCREDIBLE. it had olive oil, mozzarella, fresh roasted corn and poblano peppers, red onions, queso fresco and was finished with a drizzle of housemade Tajin crema after the bake. we opted for NO CILANTRO because why ruin a good thing? seriously, i loathe cilantro. we devoured that pizza - each trying at least one piece of the other before returning our attention to the main attraction. i immediately regretted only getting a small. though it may not have warmed up well - with the crema and all. the crema, by the way, was the sleeper here. just delicious. i wish this was a permanent addition to the menu because i don't live near a Dewey's so i'll likely not have another chance to get it before it's gone. anyway, if you're reading this, stop. go immediately to Dewey's and get yourself (and me) an Elote pizza (no cilantro).

    RYAN'S INFERNO KILLER VEGGIE
    Ali S.

    My favorite chain pizza spot! Deweys is one of my favorite spots to go when I just want to eat a lot of food. Their pizzas are absolutely delicious and they don't make you feel too heavy afterwards. My favorites are the killer veggie, Ryan's inferno, and the caprese. They have a ton of other great options though as well as the option to create your own. You can also do different toppings on the two halves of the pizza, which makes it super easy to split with friends. When I dine in with friends they always have amazing service and are very receptive to specific requests and substitutions. The pizzas are also delicious to go and I recommend heating the pizzas up in the oven to crisp them. Just make sure not to get it too crispy. The pizza isn't the only amazing part though. Their salads are super unique and taste super fresh. Their calzones are also great to try if you want to switch it up. They are super doughy and cheesy, a great option to try, but I wouldn't recommend getting it to go.

    Dear Yelpers, Get ready for the Pizza Pie that will change your life! Ok maybe an over exaggeration but definitely an amazing pizza. Dewey's offers the full experience with an open view into their kitchen where you can see the chef's tossing dough. The kids love it and secretly the adults do too! The plethora of pies to choose from is different and exciting! Not just your normal pepperoni and sausage. More like a smorgus board of luxury pizza options that everyone is going to love! And if you are like me, you'll love the bit of kick you'll get from Ryan's Inferno! Your Friendly Neighborhood foodie

    Porky Fig Pizza and a Green Lantern pizza

    I'm never disappointed with the food or service here and today was no different. Even under extremely challenging circumstances, they exceeded my expectations in every way with their pleasant demeanor, quick curbside pick up, and of course, great food!

    Rick H.

    We ordered online and did curbside pickup. Dewey's has their process down. Our order was exactly right and ready on time. The meatball pizza and salads were delicious. The raspberry poppyseed vinaigrette was very good and was a compliment to the salad. The safety and care that Dewey's displayed was commendable. Management thought the process through and it protects the employees and customers. A big thank you!

    "Hand tossed pizza"... literally.

Scones, muffins, cinnamon rolls, strudels and more. They even have lots of various breads to choose from and cakes! They have inside and outside seating which is charming and simple. The food is great and the drinks are high quality and refreshing. The cinnamon rolls warmed up in the microwave were probably some of the best I've ever eaten.The cream cheese frosting is to die for as well as the strawberry rhubarb filling (I need a jar of it). Muffins are SO MOIST and great texture/flavors. I also really liked that by the cash register they had some pre wrapped baked goods that were slightly discounted meaning they were probably leftovers from the previous day or what not so I like that they do not waste! Overall, if you are in the area or a short drive away please stop in and you won't regret it!

When I arrived around 1:00 pm, the café was quiet. There was no one at the counter, so I walked around to find someone and ask where to sit since the space has more of a café feel on one end and a wine-bar feel on the other. I was told to order at the counter and sit anywhere. I sat in the front area to wait for my friend. Once she arrived, we went up to order. I asked about a menu and was pointed to a sign on the counter. Since it was my first visit in a while, I asked the employee what she recommended, and she flipped the sign to a breakfast sandwich called The Sal. I ordered that. I then had to ask about beverages, as none were mentioned. I only wanted water and was directed to a carafe on the counter to serve myself. Our food came out within a few minutes. The presentation was a little disappointing. I chose the vegetable side, which turned out to be two carrot sticks and two celery sticks lying in a small puddle of water. The sandwich looked good, but when I took my first bite, it was overwhelmingly salty. I understand bacon is salty, but this tasted like an excessive amount of salt had been added. After a second bite, I brought it back to the register and asked if it could be replaced, which they did. My disappointment wasn't so much in the mistake, but in the lack of acknowledgment--there was no apology and no follow-up to ask if the replacement was better. The restaurant wasn't busy, and while I'm sure they have many regulars, the lack of greeting when I walked in and the lack of follow-up stood out to me. I did appreciate the wall of ancestors--it was a nice touch--but overall the service felt disengaged. Maybe it was an off day, or perhaps inexperience from a young staff. I may try again in the future, but this visit fell short of expectations.

Sauce, cheese and dough seemed fresh. I thought it was expensive for the smaller size of it. I'll have to try their other offerings next time I'm around.

We could hear conversation from one end of the table to the other. Several people had the Fish Fry special of fish and chips - some liked it, some didn't care as much for it. I didn't try it personally, but the plate had three decent size pieces of fish with a side of fries and coleslaw. Nice offering for Good Friday meal. Two of us had Chicken piccata and really appreciated that we could substitute out the side of pasta! One of us ordered a side of grilled veggies (highly recommend) and the other steamed broccoli. Highly recommend the grilled veggies! Good combination of different vegetables. The broccoli was good, but would have ordered without butter. There was a pool of butter they were swimming in. The piccata was good - 3 decent sized pieces of chicken breast. Note if you are not a red pepper fan, order the sauce without. I forgot to ask, but they were easy to pick out. The calamari was a good portion for an appetizer. We hoped they had cocktail sauce for it, but they only had marinara. The mesclun salad was very good and really good size for a half portion. We did not order dessert, but the cakes when you first walk in are quite impressive and imagine are delicious!

I'd been here once before, but this time I returned with a friend. I ordered the Hen Solo--just a biscuit and a piece of chicken--and honestly, if you've ever had a certain famous fast-food chicken biscuit, this is the elevated, hand-fried, house-made version. The chicken was perfectly crisp and flavorful, and the biscuit? Flaky, buttery, and clearly fresh. You can tell by the layers alone. One of my favorite touches was the butter bar--whipped butter, honey butter, maple butter, plus jellies ranging from classic to bold (including habanero and even ghost chili!). Such a fun and thoughtful detail. My friend ordered the Silence of the Hams, a playful take on eggs and ham: a fresh flaky biscuit, fried egg, two generous pieces of grilled ham, and melted cheese dripping beautifully over the sides. Comfort food done right. For dessert (because how could we not?), we shared their famous Vicious Beignets--stuffed with cinnamon-cream cheese filled, layered in a bowl with whipped cream, powdered sugar, and fresh strawberries. Absolutely indulgent and worth every bite. The restaurant was clean and busy, yet ordering was easy. Miriam at the counter was incredibly helpful and explained that the yellow items on the menu board highlight fan favorites--such a smart idea. She was also happy to customize anything we wanted. A side note I appreciated: on my previous visit, I noticed they offer a full gluten-free menu, which my husband (who is gluten-free) enjoyed tremendously. On our way out, I chatted with Jonas, Director of Operations. He was genuinely excited about our experience and even gave me his card for future questions. He also let a little secret slip--Medina is getting a Vicious Biscuits soon! For those making the drive to Fairlawn or Akron now, it looks like you'll have one closer to home before long... though I may still make the drive just to visit again. Highly recommend. Warm food, welcoming staff, and comfort done exceptionally well.
