DiOrio's Pizza & Pub

Went for lunch during the first couple of days the restaurant was open.
They were still working through some hiccups, but I can overlook that since the restaurant is new.
The staff was really friendly.
The food was good but I expected a little more for the price point.
I got a calzone and it looked like a half a cup of olive oil drained out of it.
Again, I can overlook that because they were still working out the kinks.
What I didn't like though was having someone hold my credit card and ask me if I want to add a tip for a carryout order.
Just give me the receipt to sign and I'll add something if it's appropriate.
It made me feel like I was being strong-armed for a tip just for placing an order.
Lastly one of the employees had their dog tied up right at the main entrance.
The dog wasn't aggressive or anything but it seemed really unprofessional.
It wouldn't be very welcoming for someone that's afraid of dogs.
I'll definitely try the place again in a month or so to see if they get everything worked out.

We really enjoyed our visit to DiOrio's Pizza and Pub this evening.
The atmosphere was lively, and business was brisk with the smell of Italy in the air.
As servers walked past our table with fresh baked pies in their hands, I struggled to carry on a conversation in anticipation for when ours would arrive.
We ordered The Gibbon Pizza.
It arrived loaded with more than an ample portion of cheese! The cheese pull and crust were wonderful! We ordered the 15" for a party of three and still had two pieces for leftovers.
The manager stopped by our table to make sure our needs were met and beyond! We will definitely be back! There were plenty of monitors to watch your favorite sports teams!

Place was crowded on a Friday night--to be expected, but some tables were so close together.
And that, folks, was our one and only complaint.
Everything else was great.
Very impressed with serving sizes and quality.
In this area we don't have a ton of options for food, so this is a very welcome addition.
Looking forward to coming back in the warmer months to enjoy some pickleball.
