Isabel’s Pizza<\/a> is located at 1451 South Boston Road in Danville’s Cain Creek Shopping Center. They’re open Monday – Saturday from 10:30AM to 10PM (until 11PM on Friday & Saturday). They’ve been in business for 14 years but this was the first time I’ve tried them out. I definitely missed out by not eating there before.<\/p>\nThe building doesn’t look like much from outside, but inside you’ll find a spacious seating area with the kitchen in full view (bonus points for that). It’s nice to be greeted as you walk into a business, and they had enough employees present to do just that. In fact, when I got to the counter, all of the workers acknowledged me as a customer (more bonus points). I ordered my lunch special and instead of being handed a cup and heading to the drink machine, I was asked what I wanted to drink and one of the employees fixed my drink for me and asked me where I wanted to sit (even more bonus points). My order was delivered to my table instead of a number being called and the waitress\/counterperson even asked me if I needed a drink refill during the meal.<\/p>\n
Let’s get to the rating criteria…<\/p>\n
Service:<\/em> As you can tell, I was highly impressed. It’s a lot more than I expected from this type of restaurant from first glance. Grade: 98 (A)<\/strong><\/p>\nFood:<\/em> I’ll add some more to this section on my next visit, but for today I got two slices of pepperoni pizza for their lunch special. The pizza was excellent with a thin crust and ample pepperoni. The rest of the menu looks good as well. Grade: 93 (A)<\/strong><\/p>\nAtmosphere:<\/em> The place was clean and the decor was what one expects in a restaurant like this. Grade: 84 (B)<\/strong><\/p>\nIntangibles:<\/em> I was just blown away by the hospitality they showed to a customer that they had never seen before… plus as a pinball master, they had a “No Good Gofers” machine in the back (although it was in bad shape). It’s also an excellent value for the money as well. Grade: 90 (A)<\/strong><\/p>\nOverall:<\/em> What was I thinking in never eating there before? Excellent food, excellent service, and excellent prices. Isabel’s Pizza is highly recommended by SouthsideCentral. Overall Grade: 92 (A)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Make your way out to Cain Creek Shopping Center and have some great food!<\/p>\n
