D'Lorenzo's Pizza & Grille — Restaurant in Port Deposit

First time to this shop. We enjoyed it. We got mozzarella sticks to start. They were average. Typical sticks with a nice bit of cheese in them. I will get them again. For dinner, I got the veal and spaghetti and my wife got the stuffed shells. Veal was really good. Tender and not dried out in the least bit! Spaghetti was good. Nice light sauce like you would see in Italy actually. Garlic bread was decent. My wife loved her stuffed shells. I did take a bite sample for this review and the sauce and the cheese were really good.. I’ve seen other reviews for people complained about the interior being older cluttered or whatever. But it literally reminds me of some of the old school Italian pizza I’ve been to in Rome. Staff were cool. Filling multiple roles so I get it that they were busy. Other customers were fun to talk to So it had kind of an intimate film atmosphere with not being too loud and what not. For dessert, we got two homemade cannolis to go. They came out hot. Freshly fried dough. My wife had one when we got back to the house and she said it was really good. I took a bite and agree! We’ll be back and I’ll update this review as I try different things. Update 10/4. Packed house! Great to see so many people enjoying their food . Cheesesteak with mozzarella and onions on house roll was legit. Cheesesteak with American and mayo was good. My son liked it and saved half for later. Chicken wrap was ok. Tasted the same as the Tysons chicken breast chunks so ehhhh. The chips bit came with weee pretty good. Onion rings were good. Service was good, staff was busy which is a good thing. Who want a to sit in an empty place. That would’ve a bad sign. . Draft beer was cold and cheap! And again. House Cannoli to...

Soooooo close!!! If only pizza shops would season the burger, the sub or both!!! Salt, pepper & oregano are staples in Italian Cuisine… Use it liberally!!! The unassuming pizza was the star of the show, huge slice, good flavor & only 2 bucks. Marinara was hot, wasn’t great but it wasn’t the same as on the pizza, if it was that would have been a win. Mozz Sticks were average, oddly enough when dipped in the sauce, better than average. The cheeseburger sub, no seasoning & slightly dry, it recovered a bit considering that the roll, mayo, cheese & lettuce were very good. The place itself, needs a good cleaning, take down all the taped, handwritten signage, please!!! The worker whom I asked to add the cold slice quickly shuffled away phone in hand, he may have been Poke’ hunting or Dragonball’n, weird. 4 odd minutes later a lady came up gave me a look, said she’ll put it in for a few minutes. Lady give the slice!!! If we get some seasoning on the sandwiches, some light cleaning visible to guest, take down the paper scribblings, this is a 4 all day even with the small repairs needed to the property. The good prices helped make...

My experiences with this restaurant were fine at first, but then I had my first bad experience.

I placed my order over the phone and was given a pickup time. When I arrived at the time they gave me, they hadn’t even started my order because they forgot about it. They offered some stuff to make up for the lateness of the food, and that was that. I was annoyed, but I didn’t want to hold one bad experience against them.

This time, I called in my order and was told it would be ready in 30 minutes. I got there 30 minutes later, and my pizza was cold. This is unacceptable. If the pizza was ready early, they had the phone number to call and tell me it was ready early. Yet they didn’t do this, they let it sit there and get cold instead.

After these two bad experiences in a row, I cannot recommend this...
