D'Eli Pizza

"My family had a hankering for some pizza, and lo and behold, Google indicated that there was a local place that recently opened up- D'Eli Pizza. We gave it a shot and are glad that we did. We ordered a single pizza, Chicago style, with a small request in the instructions for takeout. It took a good minute to find the location since they don't have a light up business sign like other establishments in the strip mall, but after taking a second pass we spotted D'Eli Pizza to grab our order. It was a surprisingly small location, and seating was limited as far as I can tell. Parking, however, I cannot see being an issue given that it's in the strip. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating- lots of smiles; food was even walked directly out to the car, which was sweet. How well the customer service holds up as time goes on is something only time will tell, but for now, you can tell that everyone there is happy to be in business. The pizza was surprisingly good. The dough was unique- very low moisture, slightly cracker-y taste, but of good texture and by no means bad. The toppings were well prepared. The sauce, however, was the star of the show. Like most places around here, the sauce is on the sweeter side; it had great flavor and texture, though, setting it apart from other places we have gone to in the past. The pizza was super filling, the cheese had a good pull, and nothing was greasy. The only thing that bummed us out a bit was that the pizza was not deep dish like we had originally assumed, a real shame given that the sauce was the highlight. That being said, it was never advertised to be a deep dish pizza; for those also looking for a deep dish pizza, just be aware that there does not appear to be any on the menu at this time. The day after, leftovers were surprisingly good both cold and reheated- no chewy nor super hard crust, no funky flavor profiles, just good pizza. It felt like the pizza was almost designed to be reheated the day after, which is a rarity. The price point was right for the product. With pizza alone, we spent about $10/person with some leftovers for the next day. That cost I would imagine goes up to about $15/person with appetizers and maybe dessert, if there's more variety, or if you get delivery. For supporting a local business that's getting off the ground and having some meal-worthy leftovers, I am extremely pleased, definitely more so than I have been with Falbo Bros in the past. I recommend giving this place a try for yourself! In it's infancy, D'Eli Pizza is a hidden gem in Hartland; I'm excited to see where they go from here."

"I ordered online and didn’t understand all the fees at checkout. $6.00 delivery fee and then added another 4.80 for tip. I didn’t see where it said door dash would deliver. I felt bad when the Door Dasher came with our order. He seemed less than pleased to deliver (and it’s because of my low tip; I am assuming). I usually tip more for these folks as it’s a second job and they don’t get paid much from DD. Anyways, the food was okay. We ordered the mozz sticks, onion strings, and 2 10” pizzas. I ordered extra thin crust and my husband just ordered thin crust. Mine was as thicker than his. Overall, the pizza was good. The mozz sticks were over fried and not very stick like; and the onion strings could have been crunchier. I say give it a chance; this might be your taste. Everyone has different pizza tastes. I am sure we will try it again in a few months. *Edit: if you like cold pizza the next day, this was excellent!!! FYI"

"Food only gets 4 because everything has room for growth. Over all a really good pizza. We saw the Valentine's Day heart pizza and they were more then happy to make one for us. Hubby and I were celebrating early since we both need to work that day. It turned out so cute and you can do it with the other sizes."

"My son heard about this place at School and really wanted us to visit. So finally made it here on Saturday Feb 03rd. Nice and clean place with limited seating. We ordered a Garden pizza Medium with some substitutions and a veg Alfredo pasta. Food was out in reasonable time and was very tasty and my son finished his dish. The person running the place was very pleasant and gave us a dessert to try out too. She also explained, how there will be more additions to look forward to, like the pesto Pizza and more. Definitely a place worth trying out and we will be back here."

"We went to D'Eli Pizza on 1/15/24. It was the first day they were open and we were the first dining in customers. Klayna was so welcoming and very nice. We ordered and had adjustments to each order, but she was very open to that and did not make us feel like we were being picky. She gave us a discount coupon. When we sat down, she came over by us and because it was a cold day out and a little chilly eating by the window, she put a portable heater by us to make us more comfortable. It turned out that they did not have an item we ordered because it had not come in yet. She gave us a free item instead and gave us our money back! After we ate and were ready to leave, the daughter of one of the owners came up to us and welcomed us. She brought us bags to carry our leftovers home. She was very appreciative of us coming in. All three of us loved our food and loved the customer service we received. We definitely will be back!"
