Pizza Leila -- NorthPark — Restaurant in Dallas

I can’t say it was a bad experience, but the price tag to value was lacking. For $17 at this card-only establishment I received a rather small diet soda, a VERY leafy arugula salad, and a square of pizza comparable in size to what you likely had in school.

The salad comes pre-packed with a cup of dressing that wasn’t quite enough. The pizza flavor (I had “The Butcher” was okay, but not good enough for the price. They also deliver your small slice in a very large box, which isn’t eco-friendly but also makes you feel you’re getting even less food.

The cashier who took my order was friendly but I’m a loud food court it was hard to hear her, especially when she talked a bit fast.

The speed of food delivery is misleading as well. The pizza was fresh, but the illusion of ready-made pizza in the line kind of threw me off a bit. Again, it’s not bad, but nothing to...

Food: Pizza pies seemed to be made then held out to get below the food temperature danger zone. They all look rather dried out when viewing through the glass.All slices are heated with the same technique and time (which will lead to heavier slices not coming up to temperature while a cheese slice will be piping hot).

While the slices are comparable to a NY slice, it all lacks an authentic fresh and Italian flavor. The dough must get really dried out as they sit as the slice I had fell apart in a very strange way after two bites

The cup you're given for drinks is rather small for the price

Service:The guys behind the line are nice and friendly

If you're in a rush for a piece of pie while in the mall, it's okay. If you want a serious slice,...

Leila’s Pizza – NorthPark Center

I stopped by Leila’s Pizza while at NorthPark. The service was just okay—not rude, but not especially welcoming either. I was told my food would be ready in 8 minutes, but it ended up taking about twice that long. No one said “enjoy your meal” or offered any extras.

I ordered the chicken Alfredo penne pasta. Unfortunately, the chicken was pretty dry, and the garlic flavor overwhelmed everything else. For $15 (including a small Dr. Pepper), I expected at least a slice of bread, some parmesan, or even napkins—none of which were included.

NorthPark is a beautiful mall with lots of great food options, but I wouldn’t recommend this particular spot. There’s room for improvement in both food quality and...
