Pizzeria Bardea — Restaurant in Wilmington

Got their Detroit style meatball pizza and I honestly think it was the best thick crust pizza I've ever had in my life and in my top 3 best pizzas overall of all time. It certainly was my first Detroit style pizza, which is kind of sad because I'm from MI!

The crust was perfection. The bottom was perfectly crispy with that baked on cheese along the sides and the inside was pillowy with an almost sponge-like consistency (in the best possible way!). The quality of the toppings, including the meatballs and ricotta cheese were top notch. I absolutely gorged myself and have zero guilt about it. It was worth every calorie! lol This was my first time having their food and I'm definitely looking forward to future visits.

The only minor hiccup I had was with the delivery service. I ordered through the Slice App and the delivery fee was almost $7.00 + 20% tip and they didn't even use any sort of insulated bag. By the time I got my delivery (after at least one, possibly two other stops before me - I could see the delivery car on the map), my pizza was not warm at all and was just sitting on the drivers front seat before he handed it to me. How is a $25 insulated bag not required for both food quality and food safety?

Seems like it would be a no-brainer investment to make for a food delivery service, especially if they're making multiple deliveries in a single trip. Fortunately, I was able to freshen it back up on my pizza stone and the rest is delicious history.

I've still going to give them a 5* overall rating because I'm not entirely sure if it's the restaurant or a 3rd party service who handles delivery, but there should be some improvements made as far as how customer food is...

We had a little bit of a snag with our first attempt to try the Spicy Honey pizza. First, the order was cancelled because the delivery driver picked up the wrong pizza. Then we placed a new order to pick up but we’re also given the wrong pizza. HOWEVER, the pizza we did get was still the best pizza we ever had, and the restaurant gave us a full refund. We returned the next day and finally got to try the Spicy Honey pizza and the meatballs. OMG! Delicious! The ingredients all taste fresh and the food isn’t overly salty. We will be ordering from here a lot in the future....

Pizzeria Bardea is great! It’s our go to spot! We LOVE the original Detroit square tomato pie! The pizza is so fluffy and airy! The ingredients are always fresh and made to order! Eric provides FABULOUS customer service, very professional and kind! Truly cares about the customer and quality of the food. Super accommodating with any special requests (such as no grated cheese or oregano) Highly recommended! Worth...
