DeLosa's Pizza

A local in my group of friends recommended this place, so a group of 8 of us went for dinner on a Thursday. We got there around 7, and there was a staff member walking around the restaurant doing table management and chatting with customers. He was thankfully able to accommodate our group and hold 2 tables. You have to order first in order to claim a table though.Everyone tried different things from the garlic knots, salads, chicken parm to a variety of pizza flavors (veggie, meat crumbles, pepperoni). I appreciated that there was an array of additional spices (oregano, red pepper, parmesan, etc) at each table for us to customize our food to our taste. I got the 16" veggie ($25) and a half dozen garlic knots ($5). Unfortunately it's unclear whether the crust or bread is vegan, but I left the parmesan and cheese off. Still tasted great, and I had the leftovers for lunch the next day. If you are someone who eats the crust, I recommend dipping it in the garlic oil from the garlic knots! Most people took to-go boxes, but we also had room to get ice cream afterwards. Service was overall decent. The guy walking around made a lot of jokes with customers, but maybe because I got there 10 minutes earlier than the rest of my group, he also made some comments that made me feel pressured and called out. Things like: are your friends even coming? And we won't be able to hold a table for you if they don't show up soon. Most of the servers were friendly though and made sure everyone got what they ordered and even kindly took a group picture for us. The lady taking orders at the counter was very efficient but made judgmental comments about my order. There are lots of shops conveniently nearby and a boardwalk to stroll around too. Parking was a hassle but apparently cheap (about $3/person if you carpool). I biked and found a bike rack at the boardwalk just a stone's throw away. There's a bathroom inside that was clean. Also a separate bar area that we didn't check out this time, but they had a selection of teas, beer, and sodas at the counter.

Over a year later we decided to swing back by during our time by the boardwalk. Same sentiment as before. Mediocre pizza. Less interaction with staff this time since we dined in so they didn't feel the need to be nasty. Likely won't return after this visit though.

Okay so I'm a New Yorker as in late 1970's early 1980's so I'm a NY pizza aficionado aka pizzalover!! DeLosa's is VERY GOOD ... my husband wished his was cooked a bit more -- the dough was not cooked enough. They have ice cold beer which goes great with pizza! But I love this place, a tried and true great pizza place who supports local little league etc ... The BEST PIZZA I've had -- outside of NYC -- is located in (of all places) Waynesville, NC - crazy huh?! Mad Anthony's aka Dough Boys ... however, when in Madeira Beach - DELOSAS IS MY FAV PLACE!

Amazing food and awesome service. John is absolutely awesome at the bar. We need to coordinate storm to go and there was absolutely nothing wrong with our service even though they're absolutely slammed.

Great sausage pizza!Thin, crispy, full of flavorCheap. We picked a single topping slice special as we were walking by.If we didn't already have dinner plans, we would have gotten a whole pie. After reading the reviews, it seems everyone's experience is all over the place. I'm happy to say we enjoyed our slice!

We ordered a large plain cheese pizza and I really wanted to enjoy it more than I did. The crust was tough and it didn't have much cheese, but it worked for three hungry adults who didn't want to wait long for a table or for food. We did have to find our own table and wipe down the dirty table and chairs... and I wouldn't recommend sitting right by the restroom...every time somebody opened the door, the door would hit my chair, arm, or elbow.But the service was very fast and friendly, and it is in such a great location.

Saturday night in John's Pass was packed. This pizza place must have baked 1,000 pies that night. Tables were full, take out line was out the door. We ordered two pizzas and garlic knots online. It took about 45 minutes which wasn't bad considering the crowds. They were both enjoyable but I feel like the ovens were not baking to their standards. Pizza ovens can cool below optimum temps when they're overworked and the result is soft doughy crust. I'm sure this place deserves more stars, maybe on a night when the ovens can do their job better. I met a kid outside who just picked up his order. He told me the first thing they do when they arrive in town is order DeLosa's pizza. That immediately raised the bar for my expectations but again, I feel our pies were cooked well below the optimum temp. I will try again on a weeknight when we return one day.

Crust was really good with great crisps and the pizza had the great flop we were looking for. Could use more cheese. Great flavor.

Dumbass little girl at the front register should go work at Walmart or something cause she obviously doesn't have a clue what she's doing. Tried to add a beer to my order and she looks at my Military ID and just says "NO". Wouldn't give me an explanation why and just kept saying "NO". I respectfully asked her if the manager who was behind her could take a look at it and she starts huffing and puffing and ignores me and starts taking the next persons order. Finally got the manager to take a look and he wasn't any better. All in all just accusing me of having a fake ID and told me I was gonna go to jail tonight. Also the pizza tasted like shit!!! Heard they got roaches too.

Overpriced and mid pizza. They charge you extra for using a card and the pizza is not worth the $3.67 for one slice.
