Dina’s Pizza & Pub

Food was standard pub fare, nothing special. There were four of us and none of us were very impressed with our meals. I did love that they had a fresh veggie platter option for an appetizer. My hubs was disappointed in how small the pretzel stick appetizer was. Waitress was not very friendly and didn’t refill our drinks. It wasn’t a busy time, it was a Saturday afternoon and she had enough time to be outside smoking right in front of the entrance. Definitely wouldn’t recommend as a restaurant, but might be fun to watch a game and grab some beers.

One of the best pizza joints in Old Brooklyn. Gotta get it fresh! I’d recommend picking it up if you can. Even their odd flavored pizzas (like a BBQ pizza or a Hawaiian) are still great!

It just keeps getting worse here. The first few times it was good. The wings are good. But the service is horrible. The wait is outrageous. Don’t believe the advertised drink specials. Apparently Long Island iced teas on sale rotate between a bottled kind & a horribly made one. But expect to pay full price regardless because they always claim the one you purchased isn’t the «special» even if you say you want the Long Island special! They don’t apologize for the wait or if your order is missing an item.

Ok, I know my reviews for Dina’s are all over the place… BUT, they made some significant changes within the past couple of months and have really cleaned up their act, it would seem.
I’ve recently picked up quite a few orders here and the food has been really, really delicious. Among the things ordered have been the Cobb salad, Stromboli, breakfast burger and the wings.
The salads were much more plentiful than I remember, with fresh veggies (thank you!!!). The Stromboli was absolutely fantastic. I’ve honestly never had one before, so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but had an acquaintance say it was the best he’d ever had.
The wings though? The wings are what won me back over. Even when Dina’s was still in my good graces previously, I never cared for their wings. I saw Chicken Parmesan wings on their menu and thought they sounded interesting enough to give them a whirl. Ho ho boy are these things out of this world. This combo is genius, I never would have thought to put spaghetti sauce and parm on wings but it works oh-​so-​well.
Dina’s, we’ll be back!

Terrible service! And food has gone down hill there was a hair in my food drink weren’t refilled and my appetizer came out last? Will never go back! Shittiest place on earth

Dina’s pizza my first couple times was really good but a couple times after that, it was just ok… Their wings are amazing,… They have quick delivery service and the foods is still fresh when it gets to your door. If you done in, the food is always better (of course)… They service I wouldn’t say is quick but it’s not terribly slow either… U have to try the dry rub wings.

Stopped in to Dina’s with the family this evening for dinner. I was jonesing for some good pizza today and Dina’s is my go-​to spot for a good pie. We waited a few minutes to be seated, but it was worth the wait. We ordered beer, wings, pizza, and stromboli. The house BBQ wings showed up fairly quickly. Our server was terrific. She kept our drinks topped off and was really friendly. A while later, our pizza arrived with the stromboli.
The large pizza was half pepperoni and half deluxe. Boy, was the deluxe delicious. The sauce and the sausage had a sweet flavor to it. The veggies were delicious and crunchy. I loved the deluxe pizza and I want more! The stromboli was also very delicious.
The food was just awesome. Great gastro grub. Great service. Love Dina’s!

Dina’s has been a go-​to in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood for several years now. Whether it’s grabbing a drink or two during another Brown’s loss or coming in to get lunch with a small group of friends.
I’m not a smoker but they have a pretty good set up for those that do in an enclosure located at the entrance of the restaurant. Ample seating and space for those who just need to get out of the typical hustle and bustle during the weekend craze.
As for the food, my favorites include their specialty pizzas, whether it’s the taco, seafood, or bbq chicken. I recommend getting the pizza there when it comes out hot and fresh. Also, if you’re in the mood for wings, Dina’s has an extensive list of sauces and rubs which are really delicious.
Service is pretty on point and for being fairly busy in the day and at night, they always seem to be clean and prepared for more customers.

Used to patronize them quite a bit but after numerous screw ups, take my business elsewhere. Have had simple pizza orders screwed up and cold food delivered.

To be honest, the pizza did not blow me away; it was pretty average honestly. Their wings however were pretty darn good! One night I went to pick up an order of wings and fries, but they were running late! They offered me a free can of coke because of the longer wait, which I appreciated. I would recommend these guys for their wings alone!

I had the Dinas Delight Pizza with chicken which was really good but they should season the chicken or the chopped tomatoes a little to enhance the flavors more. I enjoyed it though!

I ordered a burger and JOJOS… the other day and sad to say, i never will again. after a 2 hour wait I called to see what was up, well the phone lady said I never ordered from them. well, i was shocked, so i pulled up my bank account and guess what… the money was accepted… well, after 10 minutes she never said she did. and said, well. if i did it is on its way. so ½ hour later it shows up. the delivery guy said, yeah we are busy. well great for you… so, the burger melt was fried at least 6 times and microwaved 4 more time… it was the soggiest rubbery… cold piece of poop on a bun… and the jojos.well.imagine a microwaved bike tire.yep.that bad. so…lying employees, bad cooks… means…BUYER BEWARE!

Always on the look out for good pizza, and hearing some good things about this place, obviously I had to try check it out. I have eaten here several times, and have tried the pepperoni pizza, bbq chicken pizza, Parmesan chicken sandwich and several of their salads.
I am not very impressed with the pepperoni pizza, while it has good enough flavor, it just doesn’t hold up to the «can I hold it with one hand to eat it» test. I think maybe it’s because the pepperonis cause the crust to be too greasy. I really liked the bbq chicken pizza and it is now our go to pizza when ordering from there. It tastes really good, with the sweet tang of bbq sauce. It’s also really good cold the next day.
Their salads have been okay, as long as you eat them the same day. I had ordered a chicken salad for lunch the following day and when I went to eat it, the lettuce had been all wilted, maybe because the chicken was warm when they put it on, but the salad was barely edible. Also the chicken is not exactly fresh grilled chicken, it tastes more like the prepackaged kind. But I’m not all that surprised and it still tastes fine.

Great food, great value, very friendly staff.
You have to try the Tommy Burger. Hmm hmm good!!!

Came in for a quick happy hour drink. Very nice environment, when asking the locals they said some of the best pizza in town. They offer full menu and have restaurant seating and a large wrap around bar. Happy Hour drink prices were nice, $ 5 for a large draft beer and a shot of whisky! Definitely can’t wait to go back and try some of the tasty pizza

I have yet to try the rest of the menu as far as the pizza and wings go, but I will say the meatballs are fantastic. For whatever reason I decided to stop in at 130 for lunch after class. Planned to have one drink and wait to take a pizza home, but, I wanted more to drink. So I stayed a bit and noticed they had meatball sub and fries on special for $ 5. Good choice!
I sat at the bar, Shaina was great — nice, prompt, and attentive. The only issue I had with the visit was my second beer. Got a miller lite draft the first time and that tasted fine. Second time around I wanted a bud light, and I drink it and just get this odd vinegar like taste to it. Sat there and processed it, confused. Smelled it. yeah, smells like vinegar. Weirdest thing ever, had plenty of draft beers in my time and am familiar with a bud light taste, but this was different. It was really off-​putting, and I couldn’t help but bring to someones attention. An issue wasn’t made out of it and I was offered another to makeup for it, so I went back with the miller. Not sure whatever became of that, but I give shaina respect for the profuse apologies and just great service.
I like the inside and sitting at the bar. It just feel right. Have had the pasta dinners in the pasta always liked the meatballs. Not gonna let a little weird beer taste (that was fixed with a different one) be the basis of not coming back. Definitely plan on coming back to try other things. More so that for 2 drafts and a lunch special I paid 8 $ for. I say OK. Stay tuned.

Went here for Cinco de Mayo with some friends and we were surprised with how busy they were! They had someone there that was hosting a trivia game which was quite exciting and he informed us that he does this every Tuesday night at 8PM.
Now onto the nitty gritty! We ordered drinks of course! Some coronas and margaritas! The margaritas are much sweeter here for some reason which could be a good and bad thing. I’m not sure if there was any alcohol in our beverages but the coronas. But since they were $ 2.xx margaritas I thought, «What the hell… To cinco de mayo!»
Now the food… The pizza is so delicious! Definitely not too much dough compared to some pizza places, which was awesome! They aren’t too shy with their toppings as well so you get what you pay for! The queso dip on the other hand. a bit way too watery! I felt like I needed a spoon to eat this dip because nothing would stay on the chip. But when we ordered their nachos… It went down like funky town! They give you a generous portion with a generous amount of toppings!!!
Overall the experience was fun! Our server was definitely on top of things even though we saw how busy she was. The food isn’t too bad, I would definitely suggest the pizza to anyone who is craving it. The drink prices aren’t too shabby. $ 10 for a bucket of coronas is a beautiful site in my mind… And if it is in yours as well… Then give this place a try!

Pierogi Pizza!
The most amazing pizza you will eat! I love pretty much all their pizzas as I always vote on them for best of Cleveland surveys but the Pierogi one takes the grand prize of amazingness!
Dina’s is in my opinion the best place to eat in Brooklyn. The wait staff is so nice and it’s definitely a townie hot spot but with cheap drinks, great pizza and wings who wouldn’t love to have a place like this in their neighborhood?!

After hearing about this place for a few years now, how they’re wings are among the best in the city, how they’ve got some killer pizza, it was only a matter of time before we decided to give them a try for ourselves. Our experience was of the take-​out variety so I can’t speak to the actual restaurant and its service.
First, I’ve gotta mention the challenge we experienced just trying to place our order. I don’t know the last time I tried to call a restaurant and received a busy signal. First attempt. Busy signal. Second attempt. Busy signal. Over and over and over. It took us nearly 10 attempts before we were able to place our order. I get it. You’re busy. That’s good. So how about investing in another line?
We decided to try several items on their rather extensive menu to really get the Dina’s experience. I said extensive, right? We’re talking over a dozen different salads, pizza (including 16 different specialty pies), burgers, wraps, stromboli, melts, sandwiches. It really is a crazy big menu for such a small, neighborhood spot.
The delivery guy was quite friendly and very professional. He arrived after about a 40 minute wait with credit card scanner in tow. Quick transaction. No complaints on the customer interface.
For us we kept it simple — Salad, wings, pizza.
The Old Brooklyn’s Favorite salad was pretty tasty and plenty for two, possibly three people. Kudos for using spinach & spring mix instead of iceberg. Throw in some sugared pecans, dried cranberries, strawberries, cucumbers, tomatoes & croutons and you’ve got a hearty — and incredibly sweet — salad. The fat-​free raspberry vinaigrette that came with it was so cloying that we tossed it and used some homemade balsamic instead.
OK, it’s bot really fair to judge a place and their wings based on a take-​out order because of the time between when they’re produced and when they actually arrive. They won’t nearly be as crispy as they are fresh from the kitchen. This was the case here. Our garlic parmesan wings were very tasty and the buttery sauce was flavorful and well-​seasoned but the time in transit had rendered them nearly crunchless.
We went with a traditional pizza, pepperoni, mushroom, banana peppers. It was good. Dina’s makes a solid pie that’s pretty much in line with just about every other pizza joint in the neighborhood. A good crust, slightly sweet sauce and more cheese than expected, it made for a filling and satisfying meal. Our medium-​sized pizza was plenty for two with enough for a second meal.
Our experience with takeout from Dina’s was a good one, but with so many «good» options in the area I’m not sure how often they’ll be worked into our rotation. Our journey through the Cleveland-​area pizza and wing scene continues…

1÷26÷15 Monday 6:00pm —
The food we had tonight was really good. We had the Stromboli as it was buy one/​get one half off. That’s a good thing because we ordered small portion, and we were served the large, higher priced item. I don’t believe it was intentional, and we didn’t fuss since it just meant we’d have leftovers. The large order was two Stromboli per person, with each having about 6 cuts, so that was a lot of food!
We also had a small order of wings. I had the mild which are pretty much the same anywhere you go — my son had the hot carribean and he loved them. He even got a side of sauce to bring home. Wait service was good overall but for the portion mistake, and I asked for another beer which was never brought — but in all fairness — it’s kind of loud in the place and she probably didn’t hear me. Again, I didn’t fuss. I just figured that was a sign I didn’t need it, and honestly with all that dough in my belly, I’m glad I didn’t have it.
I really like the design of Dina’s — with the old roll-​up garage doors now serving as windows. I believe it did indeed used to be a «filling station» and now they cleverly market that into the name. I can attest to the fact that you will get full at this restaurant.
The only detractor for me is that at the end of the day, it’s a sports bar. I’m of the opinion that there are far too many sports bars and that nice, mid-​price places where you can have good food *and* good conversation are a dying species. Oh, and to the Unilocaler who complained that Dina’s doesn’t have a large selection of microbrews/​crafts etc. That’s what Ohio City is for or go to Fatheads in North Olmstead.
