You'd think I'd learn by now that despite the convenience, delivery food makes me feel worse after a bad day - not better.
I had a hankering for pasta after "one of those days" and took a chance on At's A Pizza after trying to pronounce the name several times in my best Italian accent. I base a lot of my decisions on how well-designed a business' website/menu is and theirs looked promising. I ordered the penne primavera and regaled myself with memories of past primavera experiences full of steaming hot, savory pasta and big chunks of fresh-cut veggies.
When the delivery arrived, I brought my round, aluminum-wrapped gift inside, prepared for a palatable feast. I removed the white paper cover and felt a kid who just opened her senile Grandmother's Christmas gift that turned out to be an ugly sweater instead of the pink Barbie Corvette that she promised months ago.
The veggies looked recycled - as in scraped together off other dishes - and piled on top of plain pasta as if they were cooked separately and shoved together at the last minute. Everything had the same bland taste from the pasta to the tomatoes to the broccoli to whatever that green stuff claiming to be spinach was.
Unlike an ugly Christmas sweater, I can't return it to the store to get $14 credit or at least donate it so sadly, it must be discarded. I hate wasting stuff including food and time. Â
BOTTOM LINE: That's what I get for being lazy. Well played, Karma.
I just ordered from At's A for the first time. It's was just ok. The sauce was tasty. The cheese and toppings were good. The pizza crust was chewy and the pizza wasn't hot enough for as fast as it was delivered! It didn't taste as freshly made as I would expect from a place that is in its 28th year of business. I still will try the non pizza items and may do pizza again. I live around the corner so it would be nice!!
Review Source:I was in town for work and ordered from here twice within the week for my branch. The pizza was decent, but nothing spectacular. I had the baked ziti the second time and it was perfect. The reason for the poor review is for the management. We called in our order at 11:30 to ensure that it would arrive by 12ish. We had a sizable order and our bill total was over $100. The order did not arrive until 12:50! Almost 1pm, which meant that it took well over an hour. One of the containers of salad was cracked down the bottom of the styrofoam, and we received a couple of wrong orders. I called to let the manager know that we were unhappy and he made multiple excuses and didn't really seem to care. I thought if I were the manager I would want to know, but he made the excuse that with that size of an order it would take an hour to make. In my opinion that if a take out order is going to take over an hour then that should've been communicated to us when we placed our order and we would've taken our business elsewhere.
Review Source:Decent food. Had dinner last night with friends. Â First visit there. Â Had tried to go to Luigi's up the street, but wait was too long and we wanted pizza. Â We split a margarita pizza. Â It was fine, nothing special. Â Also the fried calamari was pretty average. Â Only one server and she was overwhelmed with the phone and floor.
Review Source:This place is a secret gem. Service is great but the reason you keep coming back is they make everything to order and just as you like it. The attention to detail is really impressive for such a casual, affordable place.
If you want a sandwich that will fill you up for days, ask for 'The Sloppy Italian' - it's not on the menu (yet) but it's like an authentic Italian market in your month. Broccoli rabe in a sandwich? With italian meats, fresh tomatoes and cole slaw!? Epic.
i only discovered this place because they promote bicycling and walking. If you're a B-cycle member, you get 20% off everything, even drinks.
I do wish they had better wine by the glass, but you come here for the food. Try the Pasta Carbonara or any pizza with fresh garlic and ricotta. Yum!
I wish I knew the girl's name behind the counter - she's really great.
Their GF pizza is gross. I was very disappointed since it is hard to find good pizza when you have to eat gluten-free. I got a reaction shortly after eating a couple of slices, but it was mostly due to the massive amount of cornmeal they threw down under the dough which is almost as hard for me to digest as gluten. The crust was also very soggy, almost as if the dough had been in the freezer for too long or perhaps still frozen when they baked it. Delivery took over an hour, which I found hard to believe since I live only a few blocks from their restaurant. I order a GF pizza every so often as a treat to myself and was thoroughly let down with this one.
Review Source:I've eaten their pizza 3 times because I live 2 blocks away. Every time, I've found their pizza soggy and they use ingredients that aren't of great quality. Which would be easier to accept if their pizza weren't so totally overpriced. The service is fine. But a large pizza with two toppings and a soggy crust for $20+ will not lure me back.
Review Source:Cute little pizza shop with great service. Â They offer the standard fare, pizzas, pastas, subs, calzones, and do it with a smile. Â It's not a large place but if you wanted to stop for a quick bite or dinner with your honey, it's a good place to go. Â They also offer gluten-free and whole wheat crusts which sets them apart from most. Â
Their normal crust is thicker than NY style yet not too thick. Â And their sauce to cheese ratio is A-OK in my book making it a delicious place for pizza. Â Plus, each table comes with parmesan and red pepper flakes so you can customize our seasonings--a nice addition to the dining experience. Â Prices were reasonable but parking might cause a delay. Â You can either pay on the street or in the back at a public lot.
I agree with everyone else - pizza and entrees are a little above average. The one thing I have to say is that when I lived on Las Olas, this was the quickest delivery place. If you're debating between here and other places (which are probably clones), go for At's a Pizza because you won't wait long.
