Small Pacer (extra pepperoni,  extra cheese)
Patrick P.

I stopped in and tried the pizza and got a to-go pie and some chicken Alfredo. This is a cool bar/restaurant. The staff were awesome. Pizza - Small Pacer and a large Buckeye pizza (to-go). Pacer was cheesy by design. It had great flavor. M Buckeye pizza - it was good but not my speed. The topping coverage was not like the Pacer (I should have taken a picture). Chicken Alfredo was a hit in the house. Everyone loved it. I am going to go back when I am in the area just to see if it was a one-off on the pies because of the ratings. This is a cool place, and please give it a shot as I am not a food critic but providing my experience to my individual tastes.

Shorty's used to be my favorite pizza place around Delaware, we would order from there almost every Friday night. Haven't ordered from them as often lately as the food quality at the Delaware location seems to be going down hill. Decided to try again this past Friday and it will probably be the last time. Ordered a 12 inch mushroom and sausage pizza and 6 of their wings, which I had never had before. First the pizza, of the 12 inch diameter pizza, the cheese and toppings covered about 8 inches, which basically means I paid 18 bucks for an 8 inch pizza, pictures attached. Don't get me wrong, if you are a big fan of dough, crust, and tomato sauce, this is the pizza for you. I, on the other hand, prefer my pizza with toppings that actually cover the whole pie. As for the wings, I guess you better be a fan of drumettes because that is apparently all they have. Ordered 6 wings and got 6 drummettes, picture attached. I, unfortunately, enjoy the wingettes more than the drummettes. I would rate the taste of the wings a 4 out of 10. I ate two of them and threw the rest away. I don't know if they are cutting back on the amount of toppings and skimping on quality to help fund their two new locations, but this is definitely not the Shorty's I started out with. Btw, the last picture posted is taken directly from the Shorty's website. I assume this is what my pizza was supposed to look like, I just wish it did.

The pacer with extra sauce, fantastic!!

See all

Loiee G's - No screen marks...perfect crust

Loiee G's

(16 reviews)

"Nightmare on Pep Street... and I Loved Every Bite"…read more Stopped in after a lab appointment, running on fumes and bad decisions, so I figured pizza was the cure. Loiee G's did not disappoint. I grabbed a Medium "Nightmare on Pep Street" -- garlic butter, red sauce, three types of pepperoni -- basically the holy trinity of flavor. I inhaled it like I was auditioning for a competitive eating show. While still chewing, I ordered an 18-inch Meat Pizza for the tribe back home (because sharing is caring, apparently). This is proper NY-style pizza: thin, crispy, and foldable -- the kind of slice that makes you feel like you should be yelling "Yo!" on a Brooklyn sidewalk. The topping ratio was chef's kiss -- not overloaded like most C-Bus pies that think they're competing in a topping-weight contest. Everyone at home gave the thumbs up, proving I can, in fact, make good life choices when hungry. Bonus points: the pinball collection is serious. My buddy (resident pinball nerd) told me to check out the Godzilla and John Wick machines -- because nothing pairs better with pizza than saving Tokyo or racking up a kill streak in neon lights. Verdict: Loiee G's is legit. Great crust, perfect ratios, and enough pinball nostalgia to make you forget your cholesterol results.

Until…read moreLoiee G's opened, we considered the best pizza in the area to be Red Baron frozen - a sad statement. The pizza here is very close to east coast and it easily became our Friday go to after our first visit. This is a sit down place, which seems to be fairly rare here, you can actually buy by the slice and have a beer or wine to go with it. When you go here, plan on eating there as opposed to take home if you can. Take home is never as good as fresh out of the oven and you can play some pinball while waiting. Oh it's Friday now! We'll see them in a couple hours.

We were in town for the weekend exploring all of what Delaware has to offer. The patio is what drew…read moreus in for a late lunch and cold drinks. We ordered the pesto bread and grilled appetizer platter. While it took quite a long time for our food to come, it was worth the wait. Both items were seasoned to absolute perfection. The honey almond beer we got was also a great choice. I don't know if the slow service is due to the lack of service staff or if it's the nature of the restaurant, but hopefully it's not something that they struggle with for long. Their patio really is a great space. It offers a great seat to take in downtown Delaware and to enjoy food and drinks. I look forward to stopping in next time I'm in town

Someone had recommended this to me because of the gluten free crust, which was surprisingly not the…read moreissue. I ordered the gluten free "pizza" and Caesar Salad. The salad came out with no detectable dressing. The server said: "Oh yea we do it traditional without Caesar Dressing...Just olive oil and vinegar." No Caesar dressing on a Caesar salad? Odd. But I ate it. I was starving. I waited thirty-five minutes for my pizza to arrive. It had almost no cheese on it. Server said: "We use fresh cheese so it's not going to cover your pizza..." Newsflash: I use fresh cheese all the time and never have that issue. She offered to remake it. Which would take another 20-30 minutes, with the same amount of cheese as before... "If you want more cheese to cover it, you'll have to pay extra.." "Can you bring me cheese to put on top of this?" "No. It won't be melty." As I was leaving, she said: "Our pizzas are dry. Our salads are dry..." What a way to be remembered! 34 bucks for dry Romaine lettuce and pizza with almost no cheese that took forever to make... Today's lesson: Make sure you bring your own cheese and dressing, cause Amatos isn't providing it...The whole meal felt like she was making excuses for why they were clearly cutting corners on everything and for why they couldn't provide you a decent pizza covered in cheese or a salad covered in dressing in under an hour. ( And under 40 bucks of course). Its lackluster at best and they aren't really willing to work with you to fix the problem. Sure, they'll remake it with the same amount of cheese and toppings as before and it take more of your time but if really want coverage on the pizza that you ordered. you'll pay extra. (Even though fresh cheese doesn't really melt enough to cover it...) This particular server was way more interested in lecturing me on why it's more traditional to put a drop of oil and vinegar on a Caesar salad than Caesar dressing! The picture below shows the way pizza came: Little to no topping, almost no cheese and almost burnt on the edges...With plenty of excuses and customer blaming to go around... In my defense, I left half of it on the table. This review should suffice anyone thinking of going there on any given night and to the owners. Go elsewhere!

I moved to…read morethe area not quite two years ago and have considered ordering for a while, but I couldn't get over how the food looks in pictures. I've also been severely disappointed by small town pizza in the past, so I'd always drive to Delaware or Marysville if I wanted a pizza. Tonight I was feeling extra lazy, didn't want to cook, didn't want to drive and refuse to use food delivery....so I decided to give Leb's a try, since it's just three minutes from home. The place itself isn't much to look at, which is fine by me, but there was also a weird smell (alcohol?) in the air that was a little off-putting to me. I was a little worried but ordered anyway. When I got the pizza, I figured out why the pictures look "bad" to me....the cheese is mostly on top of the other toppings. I could tell, though, this wasn't a pizza made for its social media posts....this was just a good old fashioned, well made pizza. And holy crap, was it GOOD. I ate half of an extra large, admittedly a good bit more than I meant to eat tonight, and I really want more as I'm typing this out. Seriously, every part of this pizza was just good...the crust and sauce especially stood out to me. I don't order pizza often, but I'm definitely going back and not just because I'm lazy and it's close.
