The pizza, which is described as for one, is sort of a tweener. If you have the stomach of Kobiyashi, perhaps its for one. Otherwise, it's too small for two, but too much for one. The pizza itself is okay. The gourmet ingredients, such as pancetta or gorgonzola cheese, are there. The flavor profile is good, and the thinner crust/bread is awesome. I just don't know if I'd get it again for $16. As for the dining experience, we only tried takeout. Let's say you've been with a girl for sometime: you spend weeknights watching The Amazing Race, she's the first person you call when something cool happens, she emails you first when she reads a funny article, and she has half her clothes in your closet. BUT, she still introduces you to her friends as "a good friend," and when her parents are in town, she doesn't invite you out to meet them. So, what are you? Dating? Friends with benefits? Stop stringing me along! I'm crazy about you, but what are we? Am I your boyfriend? You don't like labels? I don't get it, it's just that...oh sorry, I lost my focus. So, we tried to order takeout, but you have to do it in person. Well, that kind of defeats the purpose of takeout. And then, we discovered that you can only order the pizza as takeout, and not any of the appetizers or starters. Argh. In my mind, Dinette should either do takeout, with call-ins and the full menu, or just not offer it. Off to try the next pizza joint. Suggestions?

After reading so many great reviews, my husband and I were so excited to try this place. Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience. The place is very cute and has great potential. But it was so disorganized and frankly, our food was terrible! It's very confusing when you walk in - are you supposed to sit down? go to the counter? where are the menus? Once we figured that out, the girl behind the counter asked if she could take my order. I started to tell her and she turned and started talking to someone else. Even though there were only 4 people in front of us, it took 15 full minutes from the time we ordered to the time we paid - their system is flawed. When I asked for water, it was like I had ordered the most complicated drink ever. Then of course the water thing was empty. Waited another 25 minutes for our food which of course came with no silverware. And then, after all that, the food was not that good! My husband ordered an egg sandwich and he said fast food restaurants have better ones. I had the frittata which came with salad and grilled bread. The salad was soaked in dressing and inedible. The frittata had no flavor. I did get a chocolate croissant and that was yummy so I'll give them that. Otherwise a total disappointment.

Great place, great environment. Comedian was funny as hell. Two stars because our waitress was the worst. Wrong drinks twice, took 20 mins for a club soda, wrong checks three times. Also waitress loudly explained (interrupting our comedy experience) that "our computers are down, so unless you can pay cash you might have to stay late." I will? Really? Wrong. I'd come back but we'll ask to be reseated if she gets anywhere near me.

Awesomeness in the medium rare steaks service was outstanding and very moist Cajun Mahi mahi.
