The wings were delicious and perfectly cooked,
The pizza here is really good, all ingredients are perfectly portioned not too much of anything, the sauce is great and the cheese fresh, cooked to our liking, well done, was so good! If you in the area and want a great pizza this is the spot, trust me you will not regret it. Enjoy!
I stopped by here for a quick lunch yesterday on an unseasonably toasty February afternoon. It was probably about 12:45pm and completely deserted. To be fair, they only had one table open for sit-down service, so it’s entirely possible that the carry-out business was booming. I ordered two margarita slices to stay, which were reheated and provided within a minute or so. Perfectly decent service in that regard.
The slices themselves were just not very good. The attached picture shows a surprisingly photogenic slice, in my opinion. You can tell though that the cheese is kind of hard and rubbery toward the top, and both slices managed to be both greasy (I had to mop them down with a napkin beforehand) and dry, likely because of the reheating. Have I had worse slices? Yes, but it doesn’t happen very often.
Beyond the actual pizza, there were a few things that just rubbed me the wrong way – and your mileage may vary on this. My understanding is that Montclair presently has a COVID mask mandate in place for all businesses. I’m pretty ambivalent about the masks; if a business requires it, I’ll respect their wishes and put one on, but if they don’t require it, I don’t wear it. I rarely get riled up about how businesses handle COVID, but when I approached the door to Da Vinci’s, there was not one, not two, but THREE signs stating that masks were required. Fair enough, point made, and I put my mask on before heading in. When I got into the restaurant though, none of the employees were wearing them, not even as chin straps. Given the sheer number of mask required signs, it came off as really hypocritical and just a bad look.
The other issue was the negativity coming from the guy behind the counter. He was perfectly friendly to me, but in the 90 seconds i was up there to get my slices, he managed to belittle a carry-out customer’s chicken parm order (rolling his eyes and commenting that the person didn’t want actual sauce on it) and criticizing the kids/teenagers that he expected to come by later in the afternoon after school (he said the reason that most of their tables weren’t open for sit-down was because those kids didn’t understand how to be responsible vis-a-vis social distancing). Both criticisms are valid in their own right, but I don’t think it’s a good look to badmouth your paying customers to other patrons.
I’m genuinely mystified that a place like this can stay open with so much competition in the immediate area. Needless to say, I’ll be going somewhere else next time I have a pizza craving.
But, the pizza was actually very good, so I can’t in good conscience post anything less than 3-stars. Maybe if the woman who eventually brought the salad didn’t demand that WE come outside to get it, my rating would have been higher. I mean really? YOU forgot to pack the salad, but WE have to go out in the cold to get it from you, as you warmly sit in your Mercedes?
I’ll stop there, since that type of action speaks for itself.
