Personal sized cheese pizza. - A personal-sized cheese pizza with a golden-brown crust and melted cheese is placed on a white, round plate. The pizza is cut into four slices, with some areas of cheese slightly browned. A metal fork rests on the edge of the plate, and a tall glass of water with a textured surface is positioned nearby on a dark table surface.

Upon walking in, I asked the staff if anything besides the location has changed over the last 40 years and they assured me that nothing changed. So I ordered a personal size cheese pizza that I got when I was back in Adrian, Michigan visiting family and the recipe and dough tasted exactly the same as it did when I was a kid. So happy that Dempsey's didn't change a thing when it comes to their pizza. Bonus, they had a skeleton with a Dempsey's t-shirt on that kept me company while I ate.

Italian Turkey combo!

We ordered the Italian Turkey special, which came with chips and a drink. The subs were toasted, crisp and filled with great flavor! We ordered at the counter and the food was brought to us piping hot. It's a nice little cafe downtown with the option of eating inside or outside. The special included the drink which could include the canned beer or cocktails, BONUS!!

Goat Cheese from Downtown Dempsey's - A salad featuring fresh spinach leaves topped with sliced green apples, crumbled cheese, dried cranberries, and mixed nuts, served in a transparent plastic bowl. The bowl is placed on a speckled granite countertop, with part of a plastic bag visible in the background.

This pizza place in the increasingly attractive center of Adrian has evolved into our favorite option in town for Italian pie. The specialty pizzas here are terrific. The Best-o-Pesto might be my wife's favorite as it features a pesto base with spinach, feta cheese and tomato. My favorite is the BBQ Chicken, which is certainly not unique to them, but they do it very well. But one that is growing on us is the Sieler Special, which has a white sauce base with goat cheese and honey. This is a unique option which provides a nice change of pace. We've also tried the Greek Pizza with white onion and gyro meat topped with lettuce, tomato, feta cheese, black olives and a side of tzatziki sauce. It tastes great but it does not warm up very well with the lettuce on top. So for me, it's not the best choice if you don't have enough people to eat it all at the first sitting. Dempsey's is also great for sweet treats. Check the front case when you walk in to see what's available that particular day. The cake balls are a favorite as are the roll-ups. We usually do take-out these days when getting food from Dempsey's but that's just by circumstance. We've eaten in also. Their dining area is small but the tables by the big storefront window are particularly nice for eating in, as are the two or three tables on their sidewalk patio in nice weather. My experience is that the service at Dempsey's has always been reasonably good as the people working there are polite and pleasant. The prices are well in line with expectations for the type of fare, making it a very good value in my estimation. The downtown location could, at times, present a small problem with regard to street parking, particularly on theater nights. But there is also a large-ish lot in back of their building off Church St. It is not quite as convenient but it is still very usable. Dempsey's will continue to be our primary go-to place for pizza. It's a great option, we enjoy the fare we get from there and we are happy to support a local business.

Big flat Greek sandwich with gyro meat - A sandwich featuring two slices of toasted bread with a golden-brown crust, containing fresh green lettuce and a dark filling, possibly meat or a spread. The sandwich is presented on a tray lined with printed newspaper, with additional lettuce visible at the edges.
