Del Carmen's Pizza — Restaurant in Decatur

My husband & I hadn't been to DEL Carmen's in quite a long time.But after hearing that a new location had opened on the East Side in Mount Zion, we had to try it out. Parking was easy for us, and on entering the restaurant, it was clean, freshly decorated, and very inviting! Meghan was our friendly waitress. We ordered water and a Starry, an order of garlic parmesan wings with ranch dressing, and 10" thin crust Delight pizza. The 6 wings came quickly. Oh my....delicious! The light coating was crisp and flavorful with garlic and parmesan flavoring the tender morsels of chicken. While we were enjoy the wings, Meghan delivered the pizza. The crust was thin, crispy, hot and topped with savory sausage, pepperoni, onion, mushrooms, and green pepper. We had a little left over to snack on tomorrow......The owner, Roger Taylor, visited with us, sharing a few stories about opening his business. His wife operates and manages the location west of St Teresa high school. Roger gave us a package of pumpkin cookies to try out, perfect for a little sweet treat. I'm glad we tried this place and we'll be back sometime...

I recently moved back home to Decatur Il and couldn't help but think about Del Carmens pizza. It was just that good😋I would usually order from the one on 22nd St but that one no longer exists, so I went with the one in Mt Zion as the other two were closed on Sunday. I ordered two large 18 inch cheese pizzas. I paid almost $60 for this pizza and it wasn't worth the price. I was told it would be ready by 7:30p, I made it by 7:35-7:40. By the time I made it home the pizza was stale, cheese was very dark with no melt to it, it was hard to chew and it was not hot at all. I am very disappointed in Del Carmens for giving me, what I assume was old pizza that had been sitting there. I expected my pizza to be made as ordered, not leftovers from earlier that day or possibly the day before. I received a coupon for next time, but I will not be visiting this pizza parlor again. It doesn't take pizza that long to cool and for them to give me old pizza was a slap in the face. Del Carmens and the employees need to do a better job of delivering quality food for the prices...

I called in an order for pizza and breadsticks. Everything went great, but as I headed to my car I lost control of the box and dropped the breadsticks and pizza on the ground. I was so bummed! I thought well I guess I’ll go ahead and have to pay for another one. Then the lady working popped her head out and said “we already got a new order made for you no charge” and she helped me carry the old pizza and breadsticks inside. They were so nice about everything, I could not believe it! I have always loved Del Carmen’s but now they have a new loyal customer! If you want great employees and great customer service you need to go to Del Carmen’s! Thank you again to the crew that did that for me, I am so...
