Carmel Pizza — Restaurant in Deerfield Township

I called and ordered 7 pizzas over 2 hours in advance because I had a party starting at my house at at a specific time. The pizzas were 15 minutes late in coming out. 2 hours isn't enough time? And then, while I was waiting, I watched the guy that was tossing pizzas, shake hands with a police officer who came in, bro hug him, and shake his hand as he left. He was nice and he was busy. But what he didn't do was wash his hands. Who knows where that cop's hands have been? But he kept tossing pizzas. He got all butt hurt when I told him he should be washing his hands. Seemed like a nice guy, but that was it for me. If its common place to do things like that in front of your customers, then what are they doing behind their backs. If he would have said, "oh you're right, that's my bad" I wouldn't have written this review. But that guy isn't changing. By the way, he's the owner. So if he's leading by...

First day opening, crazy busy which is why I can give some grace. Italian sub, plentiful meat n cheese it was good Cheesesteak asked for LT fried onions, hubby said meh, steak stopped 3” from the end of the bun, onions were barely fried and HUGE pieces, cheese was mia. I had a burger, 2 thin patty’s, charred, very tasty, fries were very good. Order of fried pickles, and this is where we most likely will not return. I can excuse big onions, maybe they ran out and had to quick chop some? The pickles, I counted 13 1/4” dried up over fried tiny pickles for $9.95!!!! They no longer tasted like pickles just fried breading and no dipping sauce comes with them. Definitely a rip off of epic proportion. The menu is pretty much what every other pizzeria carries with a few...

The atmosphere as great - everyone in there is friendly and accommodating. We got a slice of white pizza with broccoli and spinach - full of taste and a good size slice. Also got a chicken parm sub - whew the cutlet itself was big and full of flavor, you could tell it’s not just breading but actual spices mixed in, the sauce was perfect and the fresh slices of mozzarella??? To die for. And of course had to get an order of Alexia’s knots - the garlic taste itself is phenomenal but then you add the pepperoni inside the knot and the marinara to dip in? I would live in the knot if I could. You can tell everything in this pizzeria is made fresh to made. So happy this place opened up. Will absolutely be back and will absolutely say goodbye to the diet I’ve been...
