Decades Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Summerdale

Not terrible, but far from my favorite pizza experience. It's kind of an interesting setup with the coffee shop in front and arcade off to one side. On the day I visited the A/C was struggling to keep things reasonable inside so it wasn't the most pleasant dining in experience because of that. My family tried a Nugent pizza which has chicken breast with barbecue sauce. It was good thanks to a good quality pizza crust, and the choice of regular or spicy sauce (or hot or buffalo sauces) is a nice touch. Unlike some higher end pizza places, the chicken was plentiful on the pie which is good because it didn't seem to have much of anything else beyond chicken, cheese and sauce. The cheese was kind of weird, too. Very rubbery and stretchy but not in a good way. It tasted fine, though.

Another diner tried a sandwich, the De Niro which is just a plain roast beef and gravy sandwich, no toppings or cheese. It was fine. The brown gravy was clearly a powdered mix and pretty saltl but then I wasn't expecting gourmet gravy from a pizza place, so again it was just fine.

The sandwich was served with a cold pasta salad that again was just fine. Honestly I would prefer that over chips or fries, anyway, so that's a plus in my book, but it didn't have much in the way of flavor.

Service was okay, I guess? The one person who seemed to be in charge was super friendly and helpful but the others seemed to be zombies and the folks who delivered our food didn't say anything at all to us.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment was the tea and lemonade were downright terrible and both tasted as if they'd been in their urns for a week too long.

Value wise I was impressed that we got so much food for the price we paid. They're clearly budget-minded in ways that don't seem to affect the food: the pizza was meaty, the roast beef on the sandwich was decent quality and the pasta salad, while bland, seemed home made. Where they cut corners is on plastic utensils and paper plates, and a lack of red pepper and cheese dispensers on the tables. We're relegated to little to-go packets for everything.

Still, it was decidedly a mixed bag. The pizzas were fine but again not my favorite -- I live in Foley so we're spoiled for pizza choices and I have a high bar for pies. I'd rank this definitely above the national chains but below Vitolli's in Robertsdale or Mama Mia's in downtown Foley. If you're looking for good pizza AND a place for kids to have a party, though? This is a...

If hell had a Chuck E. Cheese, it would be Decades Family Restaurant & Arcade. We came here thinking we were in for a fun family night—turns out we walked into a disaster wearing a sad pizza costume. First off, the arcade is a scam. Half the machines are broken, and the ones that do light up? They eat your money faster than your ex after a breakup. Told the staff, and they looked at us like we just asked them to solve world hunger. Spoiler: nothing was fixed, and no refunds. Cool. Now the food—where do I even begin? If you’re into cardboard with cheese and wings that taste like they’ve been through a desert drought, you’re in luck. I wouldn’t serve that garbage to my worst enemy. Gas station taquitos are five-star cuisine compared to this mess. And the reviews? Fake. I’m convinced. Either they’ve got AI bots writing poetry about this place or someone’s bribing people with arcade tickets. No human with taste buds is leaving 5 stars unless they’re legally blind, deaf, and taste-numb. Honestly, I’d give this place negative stars if I could. Zero stars feels generous. If you’re thinking about going—don’t. Unless you’re in the mood to waste your money, disappoint your kids, and leave hungry and irritated.

This place should be shut down and reincarnated as a...

Avoid this place like a disease. The food was trash, the service worse, and the attitude? Absolutely delusional. We didn’t even finish our food because it was borderline inedible—but apparently, if you don’t leave a full plate behind, they consider it a 5-star review. That logic is as stale as their fries.

Instead of handling feedback like professionals, they chose to publicly throw a tantrum and accuse me of using AI to write my review. That’s laughable. I’m educated, well-read, and a damn good writer—no robot needed. Ironically, their snarky, soulless reply reads like it was written by AI. Maybe check your own tone before accusing others.

This place doesn’t just lack quality—it lacks basic professionalism. Their response wasn’t just petty; it was downright hostile. They’d rather argue with customers than improve, which says everything you need to know about how they run their business.

Save your time, money, and appetite. Go literally anywhere else. And to the owners: if this review stings, good. That’s the first real flavor your place has...
