Everyone treats you like family. You come in they know your name they know what you drink. They know what your favorite food is super family friendly when you frequent the place and you are sick or on vacation when you come back the reception is very heartfelt. I have been coming here for almost 20 years every friday night without fail. This is my friday night forever till the end of time. Come and enjoy will not regret it Enjoy.

It's not only pizza of all types, and desires, margarita slices, and the kitchen is awesome. You can see how counter food is prepared. Succulent apps such as calamari, the garlic bread is addictive, soups vary by day. I had the pasta e fagoli soup, a nice green salad with the entree i recommend the house dressing. I also had a peroni beer, and for the main course a tender, delicious, right temperature in its broth tilapia Fanchese with a big side of angel hair pasta in garlic and olive oil. I was stuffed, and took some to go. No room for dessert but i hear the cannolis are fresh. The service was professional, attentive, and on the go, from the counter staff to the servers. constantly busy. I'll comeback any day. Not a big place, and there's dining room space, kid/family friendly. Dinner time is rush hour. Rating it 5.

I can't say enough great things about this place and the staff. Due to the heat and threat of thunder storms, we had to make a last minute change to our planned trip for ESY (summer school). We called Dee Maria's Tuesday afternoon for a Friday trip, and Brian and Fabio very graciously accommodated us. Brian did a demonstration on how they make their pizza, and made it interactive by asking questions and very patiently waiting for student responses. Our students are diagnosed with autism, and have processing and language delays, making answering questions difficult. Brian was very gracious and not only waited for the kids to respond, but acknowledged each child's response. He even let them try to catch and toss rubber dough to see how they would fare as a pizza maker. My students absolutely loved the whole demonstration! The students then sat down to enjoy the pizza they watched Brian make, and even our pickiest eaters thoroughly enjoyed it! We even had an extremely picky eater who had never eaten pizza before try it, and he loved it. I know this is a very long post, but the graciousness and generosity of Brian and Fabio cannot be overstated. From opening early to welcome 10 special needs students and 10 staff members, to treating our students with patience, dignity and respect, and everything in between, I am so grateful. Pair that with delicious pizza, Dee Maria's will be our go-to from now on!

Dee Maria's is a great go-to place to go for good pizza, but more importantly a DELICIOUS chicken cutlet salad! It has been my lunch of choice while at work for quite some time. I don't have it everyday, but man I could if I wanted to
