Dimitri’s Pizzeria

This nice new restaurant has a huuuuuuuge menu that tries to combine a nice, sit-​down Mediterranean BYO with a corner pizzeria and steak joint. The menu needs some serious editing, or maybe they should split it up into a breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. The place doesn’t look or feel like a diner (it’s much nicer, though not much more expensive), but the menu is larger than most diner menus I’ve seen.
The food was good (not great, but consistently good and fairly priced) and extremely well-​presented, but consistently too rich. Of course, having only been there once, I have sampled roughly .05% of the menu so I highly recommend you give it a try if you’re in the area!
The atmosphere really was lovely, and is appropriate for a nice date or a family dinner. The restaurant might be a bit bigger than it should be, but it’s very comfortable and attractive inside, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
I had the soup of the day, which was a carrot cream soup. It was a very large serving, the presentation was beautiful, and the taste was good and fresh, if a bit mild, but it was too rich. The complimentary garlic bread was really good. I split the hummus and pita (ask for cucumber!), and it was also quite good. Perfect texture, mild flavor (maybe too mild, but that’s the better error to make with hummus), and again very well-​presented.
I also split a large margherita pizza (which is laaaaaarge). This was a 2-​star pizza, and was the only disappointing part of the meal. Had it been better, the restaurant would have gotten 4 stars. Firstly, don’t call it a margherita pizza if it doesn’t have sliced fresh mozzerella. I feel very strongly about this. It was just a cheese pizza with fresh basil and almost no sauce. On the other hand, we took home 6 enormous pieces of pizza, which should last us… forever.
Lastly, we were given free tiramisu, which was great! Really friggin good tiramisu. And free! (Probably not for you, as I look very important and am regularly given things for free as a result of my impressive demeanor).
I think this place has great potential, and I really think anyone should give it a try. There’s just so much to try, and the price is right. Plus, there’s plenty for a vegetarian.
