We paid a visit to Devino's Pizzeria at a little before noon today! We have never been there before and we were looking for a great pizza. Well, we found the best thin crust Pizza we have had. We were in Chicago two weeks ago and we had a deep dish pizza there that was being promoted as the best anywhere. Let me tell you. It is very difficult to make a comparison between a deep dish and a thin crust pizza. They are two different beasts. What I can compare is the cheese! Devino's cheese wins every time, hands down! The sauce is the hardest to compare but as far as a thin crust pizza Devino's sauce knocked it out of the park. I would say from my experience with any New York thin crust pizza, Devino's has no equal. The cheese, the sauce, and best of all was their airy light crust!!! It was perfection. The owner took care of us and we had a terrific conversation with him. He did not give away any recipe secrets but he has every right to be very proud of his pizza and Pizzeria! It is a very clean place and if you wanted to you could stand and watch the process of your pizza being made from the register. The AC inside came in clutch today also. It made our lunch so much more enjoyable to be able to get out of the 96° heat and relax. Thank you sir for a great lunch and the best thin crust pizza around the entire east coast and up into Chicago! We will be making this a permanent stop of ours when going past Morgantown...
Read moreThis has been my third time eating here. It's a rare experience to ever enjoy food that's been so thoughtfully prepared, fresh, and tasteful. Not to mention hospitality like no other. A spot like this should constitute the pride and joy of not only our town, but every spec of land well enough to build a restaurant (so the entire Earth, I suppose).
The first meal I ordered was a simple 12" pepperoni pizza, a benchmark to test for quality. I never knew a meal so familiar could be re-experienced in such a high caliber manner. The pepperonis were fresh and of astounding quality, a flavor that was sharp but not overpowering. The sauce was unlike any other I've had before, and paired perfectly with the crust and what I assume to be a spread of mozzarella, parmesan, and romano cheese. Can't say I know my cheeses to well, but you should've seen how amazingly stringy it was fresh out of the oven! And beware to those who refuse to eat the crust, for this fine, sweet dough will be more than enough to make you change your ways.
Whatever magical ingredients Devino's puts into their divine pizzas (divine sandwiches as well), it's very much worth the price. A 12" only goes for $11. So how about you come try this beautiful taste of Italian out...
Read moreStarting with the positives, the cheese, the sauce, and the pepperoni were all really flavorful. The peppers were as expected, the onions were slightly disappointing and stringy. Overall, taste wise, one of the better pies I’ve had in Morgantown. The pricing of the pizza itself is fine. Charging $2.60 for each topping is ridiculous. No standard pizza toppings should cost over $1.50. I waited in the restaurant for five minutes before being noticed, easily fixable, just add a bell on the door. The staff seemed really nice and apologetic for the wait though. Overall, if I wanted a cheese pizza, I’d go here, but with topping prices, if I wanted something more than a pepperoni pizza, I’m...
