Home D Pizzeria

I called to order two 6-​inch cheesesteaks, take-​out. We waited 52 minutes total upon arrival in order to get our food. After waiting 20 minutes, we asked three different wait staff, including the manager, to check on the order. We were told, «it’ll be a few more minutes,» which meant 30 MORE minutes, I guess. We won’t be returning.

I got take out here once: pizza and wings, about as easy as it gets. However, on this particular occasion, the pizza was no better than grocery store bought pizza and the wings were stale. Utter mediocrity not worth the money.

Amazing food and staph! Best happy hour through out the week. I would recommend the pot roast sandwich if you’re really hungry. The summer salads are so good the only thing I hate about it is that it is seasonal. Try some of their local brews. Crisp and refreshing.

Used to be one of my favorite spots in town. Called them and was told 45 minutes to an hour for a small order, thought that was a little long but figured they were busy. After an hour and ten I called just to make sure the order went through. Ten minutes later I called and was told that the driver is on his way. 15 minutes later called again, just to cancel the order since I don’t like to eat dinner at 10 pm. Was told I would speak with a manager. Manager came on the phone and said driver has the order with him. I wasn’t offered anything in terms of a discount, didn’t even get an apology. If you order from here, ironically you should probably pick up your order. Customer service was pretty awful.

I’ve eaten at Home Delivery many many times and during many of those times the service was awful. You’ll get seated quickly, but wow, wait times can be horrid. Our server took our order and FIFTY minutes later we were served. He offered profuse apologies a couple of times, but didn’t bring an order of fries or something quick to distract us/​feed us (we were incredibly hungry – huge mistake). I give it two states because my husband had The Godfather sandwich which is super tasty. In short, if the service was bad just once, I’d give it a pass. Shame on me for expecting more.

We love it here. We come in all the time, usually holding out for the after-​9 PM pizza special. They’ve changed it recently– it’s $ 10.99 and I think they limit the toppings, plus not available on game weekends. Still a good deal for a good pizza– actually among the best in town. We especially like the Sicilian pizza, which I think is made with a different sauce. I will say that the regular pizzas here have been a bit greasy the last few times, but we usually stick with Sicilian anyway. UPDATE: they’ve banned Sicilian from the $ 10.99 deal.
I usually order a cup of hot sauce to dip my crust– they have a variety of decent wing sauces here in addition to other very good appetizers– particularly the nachos. Add in a house-​brewed beer or two and a conversation with my husband, and it’s a good Friday night for me.

Last order was incomplete when I got there for pick-​up despite an email that included everything. Pizza was black on the bottom. Black and tasted like ashes. Had to wait so other items weren’t so good when I got home. Other times they have screwed up order. They need someone to manage the place. Everyone runs around trying to fix whatever the screw-​up of the minute may be.

Rude, crude service!!! I stopped by on a Sunday evening for some take-​out beer. After standing there for 10 minutes, the asshole server, aka «Prince» informed me that the manager said I had already had too much to drink and that they wouldn’ t sell me the twelve pack that I had waited so patiently for!!! What? I had just walked in off the street and had no drinks at this fucking joint!!! For them to confuse me with some other drunk patron is just bullshit. So, I left, and my girlfriend and I went across the street to Brewsky’s bottle shop. I was in & out in a minute without some asshole accusing me of being drunk. I definitely won’t be going back to Home D anytime this decade!!! when I pleaded my case, they just laughed at me. what a bunch of unprofessional assholes!!!

This restraunt is an example of bigger is not always better. Ive been going to home dee’s since 2010. It has declined steadily since the expansion, don’t waste your money, it was never cheap, but it was worth it, now you’ll leave disappointed, in everyway !!!

Went on away football week, but still plenty of folks. Lots of tv screens, but they didn’t have the volleyball game when their #1 team played #2. Rather had the tam vs ash game on most of the 50% of the screens. Ordered beer, great selection and good quality. Like that they have a beer on nitro. Ordered two pizzas which were above average. Service however was poor. Pizzas took almost one hour from order time and server never stooped to explain delay and when it came out no insight. Maybe long delay is normal? Also she asked if we wanted more beer, but never refilled our waters.
Pizza-2.5 stars
Beer — 4 stars
Service — 1 star

The story with this place is always the same. The service is poor, the food is average, the beer isn’t very good by micro brew standards and the execution is never consistent. On paper, it should be fantastic. They have some really good ideas for specials, entrees, and drinks, but then can never deliver the kind on the image they market.
We went there recently for a burger and margarita special. We waited 10 – 15 minutes on every drink. Our server was pretty much non existent. Our first drink was excellent, exactly how we ordered it. The second one was horrible. It was almost as if they didn’t put in any tequila, which was really troubling since we paid an up charge for good tequila. It rained while we were out on the patio. We toughed it out under our umbrella, but afterwords, no one came by to wipe off our table, see if we needed anything else, or help us get checked out. They just quit after the storm. It’s especially troubling when you can see staff out back smoking or inside counting tips at shift change, but no one can bother to come by your table.
I have had similar experiences for lunch, brunch, and dinner. Granted, it isn’t as bad as Jim’s in Bellefonte, but you are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t just go up the street to Facia Luna.

Pooches on the Patio we love your food and atmosphere, but didn’t start coming often until we heard about your pooches on the patio program (Monday’s only and you must bring Rabies paperwork and sign a liability form). We hope that you would consider expanding this program next year to everyday. We have been there every Monday for the last 7 – 8 weeks and tell everyone we know about your program. If there is anything else I can do to help promote this program or encourage you to extend it, please let me know. And would like to point out that Baxter tags you in his Instagram posts (he has over 1000 followers) and all his friends now where to find him on a Monday!
Great happy hour, great service and a great business!
We appreciate you allowing our family to sit on your patio!

Awesome Greek Salad with a huge portion, great for sharing. The Margherita Pizza was ok. Was going for chunky tomatoes with fresh mozzarella & more basil. Pizza came with a thin tomato sauce, seemed like shredded cheese and small strips of basil. Pizza crust was good and fresh.

The food was absolutely terrible and both my husband and I got sick. I’m not sure how you mess up a basic pasta dish, a chicken sandwich and bbq wings. Even if it didn’t make us sick, the quality of the food was truly awful. The service was below average. The manager never came to our table when we told our waitress we didn’t eat our food because we both felt ill after 1 bite. Don’t waste your money.

Terrible service would keep me from returning. Waited at least 15 minutes without being acknowledged. After flagging down host, he said server was busy, and he took our drink order. Server arrives, and says she will take drink order, makes table of six reorder, takes food order at same time. House brewed beers come out, but we have to wait for other beers, for unknown reason. Beer was pretty good. My water tasted faintly of cola, as if the glass wasn’t clean. Switched with my husband, but he couldn’t take the sweet, off taste either. Having to send back water is not a good sign.
Food took an hour. The soup I ordered as a meal finally came out when everyone was finished eating. Shrimp «chowder» that had decent but thin bisque-​like broth, with three chips of veg and 4 – 5 small frozen shrimp thrown in before serving. The shrimp were barely cooked and flavorless, so they obviously were not cooked in the soup. Pretzel was good, but more like a loaf of bread that they sell for $ 7. My husband really enjoyed his burger, but he was really hungry and a little tipsy from the hour wait. The bite I had barely had a hint of blue cheese, but the beef was tender and the bun was good. My sister’s Caesar chicken wrap came with the warning that the plate was really hot. Why would you heat a plate with a salad wrap and chips on it?
Didn’t check the bill to see if they really comped the late soup, like they said they would. Service was so poor, and food so mediocre that I would only return for beer at the bar.

A group of us used to eat here all the time… sometimes 4 or 5 times a week. After some poor service issues, we stopped coming for about 3 months. Today, we tried it again. It was a mistake.
We paid $ 14 for Tortellini with vodka sauce that didn’t even come with bread or a salad. $ 14 for a Steak salad that had 4 charred pieces of meat that were barely edible. Our appetizer was potato skins, they came out cold/​frozen in the middle.
I was sincerely hoping to have a great meal. I used to love this place.
Now it’s SEVERELY over priced for the quality of food.
We were the second customers in the restaurant so there excuse for cold food.
Unfortunately don’t plan to return… sad day.

Food is yummy. I had the Marguerite pizza. Fresh basil and the garlic salted crust made this yummy. Staff is helpful and courteous. The beer selection from Robin Hood Brewery seems extensive. The Friar Tuck, while dark, was not bitter and had a nice finish. My husband had the chose your own calzone. He made a perfect match of pepperoni and bacon and extra cheese. Can’t wait to come back.

Updating my review since the renovations and menu changes here. Sadly Home D went from one of my favorite places to eat to somewhere I probably won’t return to.
The menu has changed– and with those changes went most of my favorite meals and desserts. The addition of wood-​fired pizza is cool, but sadly not available for take out. Some of the new appetizers and entrees sound hip and tasty, but don’t really deliver on the promise. Home D definitely went from «Yay» to «Meh» in my book.

From other reviews, it seems like this place is a hit or miss. I would normally have given this place a 3 star for being average, but thanks to their renovations and their after-​9pm specials, I threw in another star. They really are trying to make their customers happy.
Fortunately my experiences with them both in the past and now have been very good. Their renovations years ago really turned the dining experience around. I’ve always had good luck in getting waiters and waitresses who are smiling, attentive, and polite. And their pizza is always decent. Not exceptional or anything, but solid all around.
I used to deliver pizza for this place back in the early 90s when I was a teenager. They treated the staff ok back then, and I saw their food first hand: it was decent, but nothing special. They kept the kitchen fairly clean considering how much product they were turning over on a Friday or Saturday night.
I’ve also ordered delivery from them. I’ve enjoyed their appetizers and pierogies a few times. Food arrives relatively quickly given that this isn’t a chain. About 30 minutes around lunch time and up to 45 minutes during a busy night.
I recently dined here one late evening with my wife and our friends. Our waiter was friendly, food came out quickly, and he only made one mistake with the drinks, but apologized quickly corrected it. The order was accurate, and the pizza pretty good. Lots of toppings. Just one caveat: don’t order broccoli on your pizza, as they don’t pre-​cook it, and it doesn’t cook all the way in the pizza oven, so it ends up being more on the raw, super-​crunchy side.

Average. That’s the best I can say about it. Nothing was BAD, but nothing was GOOD either. The service was good, but seemed rushed. We ordered a small pep sausage pizza, and it was okay. My meatball grinder was not as good as Subways (and triple the price) the meatballs truly were tasteless. There was ample mozzarella and sauce, and the bread was great, but if the bread is the best part of your sub… What does that say?
The big elephant in the room is the price. My bland boring meatball sub was 13 $. The place is just too expensive for what you get.
Home D started off as a great pizza and wings place, but now it’s turned into a micro brewery of sorts, and everything else has suffered.
There is one bright spot… The Home Delivery in Bellefonte is fantastic. So of you want to try HDPizza, go the extra 20 minutes.
