This place is amazingly delicious! It's a toss up between Pizzeria Bardea or Sumac Mediterranean when it comes to my favorites in the DE.CO food hall. As mentioned in another review, the DE.CO food hall has a great atmosphere, with a lot of professionals from the Downtown area stopping in to grab lunch. Most places I've ordered from are pretty expedient with their service and staff has almost always been friendly. At Pizzeria Bardea, I ordered two slices - the chef's special (philly cheesesteak) and a chorizo meatball with ricotta. Needless to say, both of them were absolutely fantastic, and very filling. Their selection of pizzas is great and seems to change from day to day. A must try! read more

Everything I've gotten from Pizzeria Bardea has been good fresh and nearly as good reheated the next day. I especially like the Detroit-style pizza here. It's a style that I wasn't super familiar with--my heart belongs to New York pizza--but it's quickly grown on me. Detroit-style pizza is a thick, rectangular pizza with a light, airy crust that's crispy on the edges, topped with chunks of cheese (over to the sides for a caramelized edge), and finished with tomato sauce spooned on top. You can get many kinds of toppings, but I mostly stick to standard plain. Pizzeria Bardea is located inside the DE.CO food hall in downtown Wilmington, a short walk from the main drag on Market Street. Parking can be a bit tight, but it seems like a lot of the daytime crowd here are local office workers. Prices are on the high end for Wilmington, but it's worth it to me when I'm craving something artisanal and delicious. read more

Located in the DECO food hall, this place is always busy with lunch orders but if you have a day off then stop in without worrying about rushing back to the office. You can order slices to go or enjoy there for 6.75 at the counter and within two minutes you'll be enjoying some crunchy pizza heated up in their ovens before your next meeting. The bacon cheese burger will fill you up to have you fighting off food coma for your afternoon conference call. You can order ahead of time to get a larger pizza, sandwiches or salads. read more

The pizza was delicious. I was sitting and eating & I looked over at the person making the pizza. He was pulling apart mozzarella to add to a pizza, then throwing dough. All without gloves. I was truly under the assumption that gloves were a standard in the industry now. read more

Located in the Deco building in downtown Wilmington, this is a nice option for lunch or dinner. You can take out or dine in the building. They have several salads and sandwiches in addition to the pizza options. I got the margherita pizza and quinoa salad. Both were good. read more

Solid Detroit style pizza. Haven't tried the regular pizzas yet but they look good. Easy to pre-order, they also have pre made slices to go. read more

My husband & I ordered two 11" pizzas for pick up - The Spicy Honey Pepperoni Pizza & the Salsiccia Pizza, for a total of $32! While the flavor combinations tasted good, and the ingredients seemed higher quality, overall we did not have a great experience: - Since so much of these small pizzas are just thick, outer crust, the area where there are actual toppings is small. Hence, it's more like a 7" pizza. -The pizza got cold quite fast. - The spicy honey pepperoni pizza's toppings and cheese keep falling off each time you took a slice! (The combo of cheeses probably makes the cheese toppings harder and less stretchy, which probably makes it easier to fall off the crust.) - Since the crust was very hard to chew (but ok tasting, with a nice char), so much of it remained uneaten. In short, we felt frustrated & ripped off - left with aching jaws and empty stomachs. Over-rated & Over priced read more

Best place in DECO. It has lots to choose from. Pizzeria Bardea uses a classic wood fired oven. Good stuff here. They also have a few sandwiches if you want to get something not pizza. Get pizza here of course. It's made fresh. This means it can take a long time. Know this before if you're in a hurry. They can be called ahead to save time. It has many good choices. They have pizzas and sandwiches. I ordered the Vegetarian Pizza and got it with no cheese. It's about $14 for the personal size. This comes with many vegetables. Crispy crust without being burnt. This goes good with balsamic vinaigrette. Good amount of toppings on it. These include a lot of mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes. I liked it enough to get it again. Maybe not too often since it's not cheap. They have plenty of other things besides the pizza too. read more

Solid pizza. I'd never had "Detroit Pizza". Kinda like a tomato pie with a crunchy crust. Tried both the "traditional" margherita pizza and the Detroit Upsidedown. They were both great. I'd order again and try other options. We ordered to go. It was ready on time. Solid service. Hardest part is finding easy parking to stop and run in in the area. read more

My go to spot when I'm working in Wilmington to order out from. Great pizza, both regular and Detroit style (I always ask for my Detroit style well done). Their meatball sub is the best around! I've never been inside, only ever ordered out but I've always received the correct order and timely. read more

This used to be my go-to spot for pizza but the last time I ordered, there was a mystery ingredient added and it did not look appealing at all. They remade it and it still was unappealing. Sad to say but I no longer order from them. Side note: I ordered vegan cheese pizza so the no -vegan items may be ok. read more

We have ordered the thick crust Buffalo pizza with blue cheese. The Buffalo sauce tasted different than the original one. Otherwise it was good read more

Went to DECO after seeing the Nutcracker. After checking out the other food options, we selected Pizzeria Bardea - what a mistake! We ordered 2 individual pizzas and a salad on their food screen. It took almost an hour for us to receive our food. I think the two workers were overwhelmed with both in-person and online orders and the pushier customers at the counter had them skipping to their orders so somehow ours was overlooked. I had to go to the counter 4 times before they told me that my food was just getting started. When we finally received our order, we found the food to just be okay. Probably would've liked it better had we not waited an hour for it. I'd suggest that Pizzeria Bardea add additional staff on Saturdays to prevent issues like this from happening again. read more

Ordered two vegetarian sandwiches for two vegetarians. Food was late, and when we bit into our sandwiches, they were full of chicken. Called the restaurant and the manager essentially accused us of lying and demanded that we RETURN the sandwiches to get a refund. We could not return the sandwiches because we are working people on lunch break. Manager repeatedly demanded to know "what we were doing" with the sandwiches, as if we were lying and eating the sandwiches, even though meat is like poison to a vegetarian. I have never been condescended to by a stranger in this way before. I will never eat here again. read more

Loved it and the service was excellent. Had one order that had an issue because of the driver and Bardea ate the cost and made it right. Pizza was fantastic - quality and quantity! read more

Pizza looked amazing. Dough and crust were very good. All the cheese and toppings fall off unfortunately as soon as you grab a slice. Way to much oil to hold the toppings. Could be a lot better. Hot honey 6.6 read more

Best of Delaware imho as far as upside down, sicilian, square, detroit style pizza goes. It's substance but light and airy with high quality ingredients. Under is nice and crunchy. edges are cheesy crispy. read more

Most overrated pizza in Delaware. Detroit was very flimsy, literally no crunch to it except the edges. Circle pizza was good, good dough. Still nothing incredible read more

once the order was received at the office i called to discuss their LARGE as looking like personal pan size. woman on the line kept talking to someone else - i asked to talk with them - she put the phone down NOT ON HOLD - and discussed how the lady on the phone was losing her @#%& over the size of the pie. a gentleman took the receiver - never identified himself - and asked what i needed. i started with - teach your staff to use the hold button - then addressed the size of the pizza's received and what they charged for them, seemed absurd. his response was extremely condescending & curt. asked what i wanted from them - i said a refund or more food at no cost to us - he said..."i can't help it if you can't read" and hung up. so trying a new local pizza shop to order future pizza's for a company of 65 (no i wasn't trying to feed everyone with today's order) we have crossed off Pizzeria Bardea - not due to the quality or taste of the food - but because of their awful customer service read more

I work right next to Deco and ordered a pizza online. I was notified it was ready. Stood in line for 10+ minutes at the counter waiting for someone to wait on me only to learn that they dropped my food on the floor. Will not patronize this establishment in the future. read more

Very inconsistent, ranging from excellent to WTAF. I guess today is WTAF: caprese sandwich made with bocconcini (little balls instead of slices of fresh mozzarella) that drop out of the roll, mushy tomatoes, and no pesto which renders the whole thing absolutely flavorless. What it lacked in flavor was made up for with about half a pound of arugula. I was a frequent flyer but I don't think I'll be back - disappointment at Deco is getting to be the norm. read more

I have always enjoyed the pizza here when I visit Deco. The ingredients always seem fresh.
