Pizzadili

I have lived in Dover since I was 5 yrs old and I have never been here. Unilocal has inspired me to broaden my culinary stomping grounds so I figured I would start eating at places I have never been to before.
Pizzadili is in a very unassuming building. I have been curious about this place for the last few weeks and have wondered if it was even open for business. Every time I have driven by, the lot was empty. But looking into the door I saw the menu board was lit up.
To my surprise I found shelves of snacks, pastas, condiments, and other food items. There were fridges with sodas and other refreshments as well. A seating area with clothed tables were off to the left of the front entrance. Strangely, however, I did not see a bathroom anywhere. I doubt there is waiter service offered for I did not see a beverage station (fountain drinks) either.
After looking at the menu board I decided to get a pepperoni pizza (I’ve been on a mission to find the best in Dover [no winners yet]) and a few pieces of cannoli. My pizza was finished rather quickly. As I was being rung up I asked for a piece of baklava and was informed they were out. I also asked for a to go menu and the were fresh out of them too. Strike two.
I carried my pizza to the car holding it with one hand over my shoulder as a server in a restaurant would with a tray full of food/​drinks. The box felt quite warm as it did when I took it from my car into my house. When I opened the box I couldn’t believe I was looking at a pizza that had barely melted cheese and pepperoni with non rendered fat. The cheese was missing that golden color it gets when baked. The pepperoni had puddles of grease on top of them. The crust? It was the same as the budget pizzas at the grocery store. You know, the ones that come in a twin pack without a box, wrapped in cellophane and sit on a cardboard disk? Yeah just like that. I ended up putting my pizza in my oven for an additional 10 minutes to make it more edible.
The cannoli? I’ll be honest. I don’t eat cannoli often enough to know when I have a good one or a bad one. I can say that it was crunchy but kinda soft as if the oil wasn’t hot enough when it was fried or the oil wasn’t drained properly. The filling was semi sweet and the small hint of rather fresh cream cheese was present.
On a brighter note, the employees were very friendly. They greeted me with a smile and warm welcome as soon as I entered the business. They were patient with me while I ordered and also mentioned popular menu items. Believe it or not the pizza was one of them. If my pizza was only a fraction as good as the young counter ladies, this rating would be 5 stars.
I had high hopes for this place and really wanted it to be a new go to spot for great pizza. The quest continues. Obviously I won’t get another pizza here. I may, only maybe, return to try the other food offered here.
