Davanni's Pizza & Hot Hoagies — Restaurant in Coon Rapids

My husband and I tried Davannis for the first time on a Friday night because we had a $20 gift card. It was crazy busy. We were greeted by a kid with hair in his face and blank stares and we could barley understand him. We realize that a lot of youth work here, but this kid needs some coaching on greeting, smiling, and welcoming customers with a little more personality and assertiveness. But he's a kid so we understand. Lol

We were surprised that Davannis wasn't a sit-down type experience. It's more of a to-go place. Grab your food at the counter. They give you a buzzer when your food is ready and you pick it up at the counter. Not the worst, just unexpected on our part.

Overall, the food was mediocre. The cheese bread was hoagie bread cut in half with a little cheese and garlic and not a lot of flavor. Next to no cheese! I wish I took a picture because it was trult disappointing. I ordered a BBQ Chicken solo which had onions and I hate onions. I couldn't eat it. My husband's meat pizza was pretty good though and the crust was very good if you like a thick flavorful crust...which I do! Although, the pizzas barely had any cheese and the lack of toppings was truly disappointing. It's not what we expected. We really compare pizzas to our favorite which is Chanticlear.

I witnessed an episode last night where a guy was irate due to the employees somehow didn't get his order in after he had been waiting a long time. It's Friday night. They are crazy busy! Mistakes happen. The lady behind the counter took it his cussing and berating like a champ! She was sorry and offered him some free food which he refused, but she was busy and tried her best to expedite his order. Nothing she did/said was making this guy happy, but she handled it so well. Kudos to her! These types of underpaid and underappreciated jobs are our frontline workers and they need to be treated with respect even when they make mistakes. This guy (customer) was a total jerk and the employee was professional and was truly sorry. This stuff happens and customers need to be more empathetic and understanding of their busy Friday night at a pizza place. Great job to the staff here.

I think we stick to our regular pizza that gets delivered. We probably won't be back due to the mediocre food, but the chic behind the counter made my night. She rocked at her job and handling angry customers. Her positive attitude was contagious! Way to go! Kudos! Keep up the...

I’m honestly never the type of person to leave reviews and as someone who worked in the service industry I give people the benefit of the doubt. Tonight (6/30/21) my husband and I went inside and ordered our food to-go. Just a sandwich and a solo sized pizza - nothing too crazy. After about 30 minutes of us waiting we started wondering what’s going on with our food especially since people who showed up well after us were getting there’s. The kid at the register asked us our name, we gave it, he looked at a receipt and then nothing else. Didn’t ask someone to see what was going on. Ten minutes after that my husband finally went up and asked what was taking so long for us to get our food. Well they found it. On the bottom shelf in a bag sitting there for who knows how long. No one ever called our name or told the people working at the front that our food was ready. They didn’t offer to heat it up or remake it and we decided to just go home with it rather than cause a big fuss since they were closing in an hour. While we were waiting though, one of the workers started flapping the rugs right in front of where we were waiting. Dust and dirt literally flying in our faces. Just thought that was a little rude and inconsiderate of our space. It was something that I feel could have been done after we had left. The moral of this review is that we feel like had there been better communication in the kitchen and a little more common sense from the people working at the front and noticing two people sitting and waiting for 40 minutes that something might be up. I really hope management sees this and let’s their workers know to be more on top of these things. We won’t be going back to...

Davanni's first timer. Overall walking into the place, staff does greet you right away. You order your food at the register and pay. You are then given a pager of when the food is ready for which you will go back up to the front and pick up the food back to your sitting area.

We were a group of 4. Ordered the wings, 4 flavors to them. Plain, buffalo,bbq, and secret weapon. We went with the buffalo.

Good selection for pizza here. Decided on the deep dish with the works and 4 breadsticks.

You can have the wings and breadsticks before the pizza or have them come out together. We had the wings and breadstick out before.

The breadsticks were mediocre and pizza was ok as well. With the pizza I could not tell if I was eating store bought pizza or resturant quality. The bread was baked a little longer than my liking as it was on the hard and crispy side. Every time I bit into it with the toppings and there were plenty as they are generous with the toppings, all I was tasting was the bread and it was bland. Too much dough, because it was deep dish?..not sure on this. We ordered a medium which was 8 slices, the cuts were not proportinate as some slices were bigger then others. The wait was about half an hour for the pizza to come out.

Pizza and breadsticks were a little dissapointing but the silver lining is the wings. My first bite was terrific. Each and every bite was met with consistency. Given the wings are smaller then what your use to if you have been to Buffalo Wild Wings or Dominoes, but Davanni's is better then both by far. It is cooked just right and you dont get the chewy skin like Bdubs and Dominoes. If you are a fan of wings, this is a must try. The wings...
