Lunch Divas

April 14, 2011

My best friend sent me a Facebook message inviting me to check out a new pizzeria, Deco Pizzeria. She read a great review in the news paper then looked it up on Facebook and every one commented how great it was. One review where the owners were interviewed stated that there was an hour wait for diner the previous week. So we made plans to check out this pizzeria. We were really excited to try this Italian food being Italian is our favorite. When we got there it was packed. Good thing right, normally the more people the better the food.  The food was disgusting, the service was non-existent. We had such a horrible experienced we ended up not eating the food and going to get a pizza at Chicago's Pizza. On our way to Chicago's I came up with the idea to start a Facebook page called Food Divas where we would try different restaurants (some of our faves too) and write our own reviews. Telling our friends the truth... according to the Divas! While setting up our new email address Food Divas was an already used screen name so we changed it to Lunch Divas. We are going to try to make our own logo. We shall see how that goes. 

 Here is our first review of Deco Pizzeria:

Diva #1: After reading so many rave reviews both on here and thru the web, I was very excited to try out this place with a friend. Sadly, we left the establishment more than dissatisfied. For starters, the service from the staff was terrible. And then the menu options we ordered weren't worth the price. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs with traditional tomato sauce. The meatballs I had to pay extra were so tiny, they certainly didn't merit the extra charge. And as far as flavor goes there wasn't any. All you could taste was beef. The supposed traditional sauce was so spicy it almost bordered on being a marina sauce. The supposed garlic bread that came on the side was the saddest garlic bread ever. It was more like over-buttered soft bread that just added to my cholesterol. I've never been so disappointed in a meal before. I could easily name off 5 alternative places I could receive great food for the same price I spent on attempting to eat this crap. And that's just pathetic.

Diva #2: I ordered the Angel Hair pasta with the spicy Cajun sauce with 6 shrimp (also paid extra). The spicy Cajun sauce was not spice as a matter of fact if was flavorless. I had to add salt and still didn't eat it. The Cajun sauce also had mushrooms chopped into it. I do not like mushrooms so it would be nice to know ahead of time about them in my meal. I paid $2.75 for 5 (not 6) small salad shrimps, ridiculous. The garlic bread was soggy with butter and tasted of pure garlic. Gross! The best thing I ordered was the Sprite!!!
We both ordered a slice of combo pizza. The slice was so oily, crunchy, a bit burned, and didn't taste good overall. Diva #2 said it tasted like rubber, not exactly how you want your pizza to taste.
We ended up going down Chicago's Pizza and ordered a large 2-topping pizza for $6.99. It was amazing!!!

More reviews will be posted to Facebook. Out of our bad experience a great new joint venture was born. 

Don't forget to friend us on Facebook!!!
