Pizza #14 Deweys

We went to Dewey's Pizza last Friday - an outing that was planned by Chuck.  Dewey's is a very popular restaurant in downtown Worthington and we went with John Lindamood and John Mueller. I will say from the outset that we were not the usual people to eat at Dewey's at 6:00 PM on a Friday night.

We had a few issues getting to the restaurant.  Chuck told me that John Lindamood would pick us up and that John Mueller would meet us at Dewey's.  We waited for 10 minutes and called John L and eventually drove to his house.   He was under the impression that we were picking him up!  (remember this outing was planned by Chuck!)  So, knowing that we would be late, I asked Chuck to call John M to let him know.  He had trouble using his cell phone.  I tried and found that he had the wrong number on his phone.  I asked John L who pulled out a notebook with number and he did not have the number either.  And at the same time, both assured me that John M never carried his cell phone anyway.

So, we got there late and sure enough John M did NOT have his phone with him.  I asked for the correct number to put into Chuck's phone, but he did not know it.  And Marsha was in Japan.  That kind of gives you an idea about traveling with these guys.

Anyway, the restaurant was very crowded and noisy with lots of families.  There was a window where we could watch the pizza maker throw the pizza in the air so that was fun to see.

Eventually we got to the table and then the service was great!  We had a server who John M described as "perky" and she was very helpful for us as we tried to understand the menu.  I got my beer and Chuck and I split a salad and an 11 inch cheese and sausage pizza.  John M got a Hawaiaan pizza and John L a veggie pizza.  The salad arrived within 5 minutes of ordering and the pizzas came very quickly too.  The salad was EXCELLENT!

Everyone took a taste of my pizza and pronounced it good but bland.  It was not gooey but pretty boring.  Chuck's sausage was spicy and both Johns enjoyed their pizzas - lots of ham on the Hawaiaan and lots of vegetables on the Veggie.   The crust was nice and crisp.

I asked everyone to describe the restaurant and they said "busy" and "noisy."  It had brick walls and kind of an "industrial" look.  John L said it was "no place for old people."  And maybe that is it.
They had a wide variety of interesting pizzas and craft beers and a real family vibe.  I think for many people, it is a fun place on a Friday night.

But it could be that we were just too old.
