The only other location was in Oklahoma but they closed it down practically a decade ago, so Denton is the only location now. It's located near/on UNT's campus so parking is extremely limited and there's construction going on around the restaurant. I love that Crooked Crust offers unlimited toppings for no additional price and that there's so many different sauces and toppings to choose from. I will say that the pizza is thinner than it used to be (it was always fairly thin, but still had some weight to it. Now it's practically thin crust or at least it was when I went recently.) I also noticed that the 50% military discount has been changed, but that's to be expected, especially post-Covid. Either way, Crooked Crust is still a family favorite and I'll pretty much always stop by when I'm passing through Denton. Customer service is great at this location also and every time I've stopped by during the day, it's practically impossible empty so service is quick.

I'd give Crooked Dough a 3 out of 5. For my personal taste, it's not really my style of pizza. The…read moredough is very thin--almost cracker-like. When it's fresh, it does have a decent flavor, with a light amount of sauce and a good layer of cheese. That said, it doesn't really have much crust or crunch. It reminds me of more of a late-night flat "cookie-style" pizza. Not bad, just not my preference. Customer service was on point.

We made reservations. They probably were not needed for the night we were there, but I could see this place filling up quickly on some nights. The restaurant has a cozy retro vibe with MTV videos playing behind the bar and splashes of color throughout. Our server was super friendly and attentive, and the speed of the service was fantastic! Graffiti Pasta specializes in unique, delicious cocktails. There are no beers on tap (just cans), and my husband would have liked to have Peroni on tap even if that were the only choice. I enjoyed two of their cocktail which were both excellent. Our food was delicious and just the right amount of food. We left the restaurant satisfied without feeling like gluttons. Their stuffed mushrooms with filled with a creamy ricotta, the Banksy's Baked Ziti was delicious, and the homemade spaghetti was a special treat.

We were not sat until 8:40 after having to come back up and check on our table which the host seemed to have forgot as it was open once we walked up. From being sat at 8:40 in the downstairs area, the 2 servers working the area proceeded to walk by us & not say a word for 12 minutes for us to get greeted and get our order in (which we had drinks, apps, & entrees all ready to go by that point) at 9:04 we received our drinks, mind you 26 minutes after we were sat. Our servers were very unenthusiastic, didn't get a proper introduction upon greeting, but our ticket said our servers name was Svaya. From there, everything was slow, getting the check, getting refills, never checked in with us after our food cameThis place is a slam dunk on food, just really needs to get its service up to that same bar.

This was the next closest non chain pizza place we could find so we decided to give it a try and we were SO glad we did. We sat at the bar. The bartender (I think his name was Brad) was friendly and personable and made some fabulous menu suggestions. We started with the potato chip chicken strips. They were fantastic. The seasoning in the batter was spot on, and they were piping hot and perfectly crispy. I ordered the Maurice salad, something I had never heard of. It was a very busy salad, lots of different flavors going on, but I am here to tell you it was one of the best salads I have ever had in my life. I am already trying to figure out when I can go back and order it again. Hubs got pizza, half Texas sweet heat and half mobster. Definitely one of the best pizzas we've ever had, you could tell they use top notch ingredients. It's rare we have such a great experience entirely "by accident". We can't wait to go back!

Whereas suburban Mellows are staffed by the local High School edge lords seeking vape money, college town Mellows tend to be staffed by collegiate edge lords seeking rent money after their parents cut them off after getting one too many piercings. These guys did a phenomenal job serving my Girlfriend and I. Our server Kendrick (I believe that was his name) performed nothing short of a service-worker miracle by taking one look at my Girlfriend's ID and addressing her by name for the remainder of our stay. After I'd given him my card to pay, he returned with a "Have a good night Patrick." Kendrick's talents are wasted as a server, he needs to become the charismatic Mayor of a medium sized town as soon as possible. The pizza came out rather slowly but that's to be expected from all Mellows, perfection takes time.

Roman's Pizza in Denton, Texas, is an absolute delight that has stood the test of time. With its doors open for several decades, this beloved establishment has become an integral part of the local community. What sets Roman's apart, apart from their mouthwatering pizzas and delectable menu, is the exceptional owner, Sam. His dedication and passion shine through in every aspect of the restaurant, and his warm personality adds an extra layer of charm to the dining experience. As you indulge in their classic flavors, you can't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards Sam and the incredible legacy he has created at Roman's. read more

Pros: One of the better places to get a good classic pizza in Denton. The cheese and crust is amazing, wings are great and there's plenty of things to choose from on the menu. The garlic butter sauce is also amazing. The biggest plus is that the pizza is always hot and fresh, how anyone would want it. The atmosphere is nice, like a little hole in the wall place with sports always playing on the TV. Breadsticks are not so bad, could be breadier though/w more garlic butter! Otherwise, the perfect place to satisfy a late-night craving for a fresh pizza. read more

The slice was HUGE; a quarter of a 16" pie, I believe and just $5. The crust was thin with a nice crunch and great chew! It had a good amount of cheese and enough tasty sauce; though I would appreciate a smidge more sauce. Beni is a heck of a nice guy and is from Atlantic City, NJ. He's been making pizza for 30 years and it shows; I loved it! Oh, Beni Jonuzi is the brother of Ron Jonuzi, the originator of Jonuzi's Pizza in Denton.
