DeRango The Pizza King Racine West

Stopped in for some pizza as we were passing through town. This place was recommended by the hotel staff to try out. We went in and were seated right away. They were really busy so it took awhile to get our drink orders in. We all went with the 8" personal pizza with 3 toppings. Surprisingly the pizza came out fairly quick. And tasted really good. The only negative I have is the silverware they provided was dirty with some food still caked on it. Overall good pizza and great prices.

Their tables are always dirty , they leave trash on the floor and the bathroom smelled like pee

This place used to be my pizza joint that I always went to for many years!!!. But the past couple of years. It's has gone DOWN!!! You wait about ten minutes on the phone to place an order but the waitress put you on hold before you can say anything. And your on hold for so damn long that they forget to get back to you. The service has gotten so slow, like the waitress doesn't give a damn. They're always short staffed. Even the delivery of your pizza takes about an hour and a half. The place never looks clean. Since the two brothers that had it years ago sold it to the new owners. They really haven't done shit to the place or hired better staff. That place was a staple of the west Racine restaurants but now it just a dump!!!! I been going there for about 25 years. And the place just got worse and the staff got less caring. And another thing. STOP PUTTING PEOPLE ON HOLD AND ANSWER YOUR DAMN PHONE AND TAKE MY ORDER!!!!

I grew up in West Racine so we pretty much grew up on this pizza. The pizza is flavorful!!! The sauce is great and the sausage has a very distinct flavor. Don't expect a classy joint as this is a mom-and-pop type of restaurant. As far as service, yes, the staff may seem a little brusque on the phone. But for some reason, when you are there they are as sweet as pie! I think it has to do with how much the phone rings. They are constantly answering phone calls. The B E S T pizza in Racine! When I lived in Florida and family would visit, they would always bring me Derango's!!!!

yesterday I stopped off at a local restaurant to chat with fam. and friends and of course eat. I was greeted and taken to the table. it was of my great misfortune that my seating arrangement included a broad view of the cooks-goons. it wasn't my idea of being entertained, none the less i was forced to cope with an array of discomfort during my entire time there. the goons were all males, all Hispanic, they all leaned up on the food board with their nasty arms and backs and starred at me with fixed expressions, toothpick in one's mouth, hand towel in another, all chattering about with grins and laughter in their native tongue. turning their heads occasionally as if it mattered. it would have made anyone, male or female cringe or uncomfortable and I must admit this was not a standard operations act I was ready to say something, but I gave the manager the benefit of the doubt. the reply was. that's what they do, or they're just like that. later on, i was introduced to one of them as one of the boys as if it by some chance was to make some form of retribution. I was not amused. the entire time as i looked up from time to time, they continued with their immature, testosterone emittance male display of dominance. and did not ever give me any sense of respect and or relief. I do stand out as I am not your usual female, so my guess was "they aren't from around these parts" or so they acted as such. every day we wake up with the choice to make this world a better place. no one is precluded. and likewise, everyday robs someone of their rights to be free of persecution, and harassment no matter who you are or what you look like. but the worse feeling that came out of all this that was that not only did the management, not make proper corrections, the ill and noxious behaviors were socially accepted. I was not allowed to voice my opinion due to the sensitive nature of a few staff members. By the way... this isn't about Mexicans, or men. it's about the common place in our social world that all beings are to be treated with respect and served with professionalism "IF you're a paying customer". Now after all the years I've visited this place, now I realize why it's just another originally a great business, now warn down to a bare minimum of nostalgia and grit. nothing more. Some might say I'm picky or just too stiff. I say, if you're a paying customer. all of what the FDA and business promise is due to you. that was the worst 27.00 i have spent in a very long time....never again.

For my birthday we decided to get pizza and try DeRango's in West Racine. They said it'd be an hour wait. Ok. I showed up at the time they said and was told it was almost ready. After 20 more minutes sitting around I asked what was up and they told me they NEVER EVEN PUT IT IN THE OVEN. And this is after they checked and told me it was almost ready!!! I told them I wanted a refund and they refused to give my money back!!! What. The. Fuck.They offered me a party pizza with different toppings they had there instead of the smaller size I had ordered. I took it home so I'd at least get something out of it since they were refusing to give me my money back. It ended up being some cold and hard thing that was sitting around there who knows how long. SO, after a second god damn trip over there I finally was given a refund.So much for spending the evening with my wife. Instead I spent it driving back and forth and sitting around waiting for a pizza that never got made.Fuck you DeRango's.I will obviously never order there again and I encourage others to go elsewhere as well.I'll get over it, but frankly, at this point this has probably been my shittiest birthday in 43 years. On the upside(?) I completely lost my appetite for now.

The best! I travel frequently and have yet to find a pizza as good as this one. I have been going there for 30+ years. My favorite Italian sausage, pepperoni and mushrooms. Try the fried mushrooms, hot wings and fries. But the Pizza is the BOMB!

Not to long ago the menu prices went up. The PORTIONS GOT SMALLER. The APPETIZERS are EXTREMELY SMALL. Today I got 12 Breaded Mushrooms for $7.95. The SUFEED SHELLS ARE SUPER SMALL. They are the size of an egg. The barely spread open the shell for filling. The shell pasta is still curled over itself. The meat filling inside is BARELY A ROUNDED TABLESPOONFUL. You used to get a "bowl" of soup NOW it is a small "cup" of soup. I paid $22 today and left hungry.

I ordered thtee large pizzas and a 24 piece fried chicken for a small funeral gathering. The pizzas were good but when I opened the chicken it looked dark and pumy. it didn't take us long to realize that the chicken was extremely over cooked, dry and chewy. We were shocked that they gave that horrible looking and tasting chicken to us. I was embarrassed because I. hose Derangos because it was close. I hadnt ordered from them in decades. NEVER AGAIN. I called within two hours to complain. I was told that the manager would be advised of my complaint. The guests had driven from Janesville and we didn't have time to reorder. i kept the chicken to show the restaurant but I never heard back. we had alot left the few who ate it complained, including me. very bad chicken

Good food at good price. Atmosphere is a little "messy" but always busy. Well known locally.
