8 reviews for Decent Pizza
Better than just decent! It's a cleaner, fresher and less undergrady version of Momo's Pizza. (Apparently there's some connection between Momo's and Decent, but I forgot the convoluted tale.)
Their NY style pizza is good (doesn't quite compare to the greasy goodness of a slice of pie at 2am in Manhattan from a hole-in-the-wall), they've got good brews on draft, and the not-too-loud music is an eclectic mix that'll keep you wondering what's coming up next.
Every time I'm there I think to myself, "Why don't I eat here more often?"
"One day I will open up an independent pizza place in a miserable city. And it will be the only decent place to go! And it will have a very creative and descriptive name."
Decent Pizza has decent pizza. The real reason to go is the variety of toppings available, including the always appreciated tempeh. And sometimes they'll play Billy Bragg.
Decent Pizza in Tallahassee sits squarely on the end of the pizza spectrum farthest away from Dominoes. It's the best pizza in Tallahassee and a pretty good place to hang out in, too. Booths run down one side of the space and ovens line the other. Tattooed, mustachioed guys throw pizzas the old way behind the counter, and they make all the sauces and bread right in the kitchen (i.e., nothing's shipped in). Black Sabbath is as likely to be coming out of the sound system as Steve Earl is, and they have Dr. Pepper in the old-fashioned little bottles (the 8 oz. kind). Along with rotary phones, asbestos ceiling tile and rubbing dirt in your wounds, smoking in the kitchen has gone the way of the shag carpet, but this is the kind of place in which I wish it were still OK. It would fit it.
Their pizzas are huge - really big; but you can order by the slice and they have a few beers on tap to wash it all down with too. They close kind of early for my taste (9 on weekdays), but it's worth the effort of getting there early to have a bite. In fact, it's a pretty good place to start off your evening with a couple of beers and a pie, come to mind, so maybe the early cut-off is intentional.
Best pizza in town.
Pizzas are good, huge, and cheap, with 4 people we leave for under $20. The service is really good and fast and they do call aheads, which are great if your short on time, I usually just call when I'm in the car on the way there(only restaurant # in my cell). Best atmosphere for an inexpensive place in the city, from about 7-9 it gets busy but not bad enough i wouldn't go. Great music although a little loud at times (not that I mind but someone might)
I go more than once a week on average and the variety makes it never boring.
Has WiFi kind-of, the print shop next door is unsecured I think. =)
Super surprised no one else has reviewed it, similar to Momos but I like the atmosphere better, and it's usually faster service.
So, about 8 of us tried to go out for dinner the other night. We were cranky, hungry, and tired. Unfortunately, the Caribbean place we wanted to go to was out of rice. We drove around for about 45 minutes, got lost a few times and then finally got so annoyed with each other and the circumstances that we pulled into the closest restaurant we could find, which happened to be Decent.
The pizza was awesome and huge! Everybody needed a to-go box, and most of us only got one slice. The atmosphere was fun, totally full of hipsters. There was a girl in a bikini selling $1 PBR's and a group of guys building a giant pyramid out of the cans. The music was loud, but not too bad, and we were all in a much better mood when we left.
I grew up in northern New Jersey, about an hour outside of New York City, which is to say that I grew up in pizza country. Pizza chains were not prominent in my hometown. Everybody I knew ordered from local mom & pop pizzerias. I moved to Florida in 1999. I have not had pizza even close to as good as New Jersey pizza until I tried Decent Pizza. Others may tell you that Momo's is the best in town, but I think they use too much sauce. Decent is where it's at for my money. The pies are insanely huge, so much so that me and four of my friends (all of us dudes that can eat a lot of pizza) have trouble finishing their large pie, which I think is 20".
The crust is excellent, just thick enough. The sauce/cheese ratio is perfect, and the toppings are pretty cheap considering how many they pile on. My personal favorite is their meatballs.
The pizzeria also plays lots of fantastic music.
They vegan pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms is the best. (The toppings don't have to be vegetarian.) The sauce rocks. I am still searching for a Decent Pizza in my new town.
In my opinion, this is definitely the best pizza in town. It's quickly become one of my favorite pizza joints ever, actually. Delicious, bready crust and a huge variety of quality toppings -- their cheese is excellent. I like to get my slices with the most random toppings I can think of and I haven't managed to create anything gross yet. Service is good and they have a few excellent beers on tap. For free entertainment, siit in a booth near the register to eavesdrop on the crazy things those hipster kids that work here are talkin' about, although it may involve bodily fluids so be careful if you've got a queasy stomach.
