Ditali's Pizza — Restaurant in Louisiana

This seems like a nice place I guess; but I’m reviewing this as a delivery driver who has been here a few times. Each time the restaurant had no more than 8 people in it, the orders are never ready, and IMO there is probably a good reason that would happen once and I gave benefit of the doubt with the worker shortage etc. but this is the third time. And it’s always me and 2-3 delivery drivers standing there twiddling our thumbs. Meanwhile our other orders are now off schedule and cold, and that affects our bottom line.

I realize this is not a traditional restaurant review but in this era I’d wager that half of all orders at most restaurants are delivery. As a driver I want other drivers to know what they’re in for here. And if ur planning to eat here; I’d bet it’s the same deal there. You order a pepperoni pizza and cheese sticks and 30 mins later it’s done? Maybe on a busy Saturday, but I’m writing an experience that happened Monday night in a massive but empty restaurant.

That said the food does at least look pretty good, the menu is pretty varied, and the staff is decent: they won’t bend over backwards for u but they are polite at least. Also tho every time I was there it was cavernous and empty, the restaurant itself is pretty nice inside for being in a strip mall.

My verdict: drivers beware this place may well hurt ur bottom line; it did mine. We drivers get blamed for being late 9/10 and guess who just got to do a 20 min drive for 4$? Me. Customers eating be ready to wait for what may well be good...

This was our first time to visit this very easily accessible restaurant. It is directly across from the super Target on Manhattan.

The pizza here was absolutely delicious! We split an 18" with the Mediterranean on one half and the Ditali on the other. Even though my side was the Ditali, the Mediterranean was excellent. We took the rest of it home, well over half the pizza, and our son has thoroughly enjoyed it!

We had the bread knots as an appetizer. We got it without the cheese. The three sauces were very good, but the tomato based was the best.

Service was excellent. Our waitress dropped to check on us every now and then, but for the most part left us alone, which is the way I like it.

Even though we didn't get to try them, the burgers were strongly suggested by a person at a neighboring table. We'll do that next time.

We will definitely return, this time with our son so he can try it all...

I have eaten their Pizza Turnovers since they were at Belle Promeade Mall. They are just as great today as they were 30 years ago. They're never packed, and it may have something to do with the following issues that I took away two stars for:

When we took out of town guests here for dinner, one of them ordered a salad. The iceberg lettuce was so old, it was pink and brown. It made everyone else at the table uncomfortable with continuing to eat what was in front of them.

The Christian pop music playing in the restaurant is really off-putting. I get it: your business, your music. It's also my money; as a customer, I prefer restaurants do what they do best: serve food, and not evangelize. Please consider more...
