Customer PRAISES for
DiCarlos Pizza!

The Hart Family
Maryland

My wife and I are both from the Wheeling, WV area originally. We currently live in Maryland (about 40 miles south of D.C.). Every time we go back to visit family, we have to have Dicarlos pizza. My brothers and I have running jokes about who can eat the most and we text each other whenever we are enjoying Dicarlos. I say all of that to ask this: Is it possible to have some Dicarlos UPS'd to my home in Maryland? I would be very interested in doing so, as we have also go our 3 daughters hooked on it as well.

Thanks in advance, The Harts

Hey!
I moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in 1985 from the Ohio Valley! The New Cumberland, Weirton area. The thing I miss the most is Dicarlo's pizza! I still rave about it! When I do get a chance to return, Dicarlo's is a must have! Oh how I wish I could order it and have it shipped!! (I'm very serious)
Here's hoping I get back soon to enjoy Dicarlo's!

Let me tell you how happy I am that there is a Dicarlo's Pizza within a 2 hr. drive. After graduating from West Liberty 10 yrs. ago, I have not had fresh DiCarlo's pizza since. My sister still lives in the area ,Follansbee WV. She goes to the one in Wellsburg. I live in Mechanicsville Va., which is about 1.5 hrs to you. She does bring me pizza and a bag of cheese each time she comes to visit. I am going to try to convince my husband that we need to make a trip to Chesapeake to get some pizza. My kids have no idea what they are missing!!!!!!!!!

Every time we would travel back to the Weirton/Wheeling, WV area it was a must to go to DiCarlo's. Now we can avoid that 8+ hour trip and enjoy a taste of "home"
right here in our backyard.
Thank you Millet for opening the shop on Cedar Road...I've told a lot of people about your place and those who have tried it have told me they have now tasted the best
pizza on earth.

When we drove Cedar Rd & saw the famous DiCarlo's sign, we could not believe out eyes!! After going in, our hopes were confirmed...DiCarlo's finally made it to Virginia!!
Just seeing the store every time we drive by, right here in my area is surreal...we're blessed to have it right in our own backyard.
Looks like we'll finally be using our treadmill from now on =)

After walking in the first night, I called the wife and said you won't believe the smell. Since then we have mad the trip on several occasions, including the super bowl.
The best part is living just far enough away to steam melt the cheese and still be warm. And surprising enough it tastes great in the day light and unimpaired. Good Stuff for a quick flashback.

While on a recent business trip to Florida from West Virginia, I couldn't believe it when I saw a DiCarlo's Original Pizza just off the highway in Chesapeake, Virginia.  To discover it had a local owner from the Ohio Valley, where I had been eating DiCarlo's Pizza since it was 8 for a $1.00, made the stop even more rewarding.  I can't say enough about the pizza or the way Janet and her family treated me.  I know I'll be stopping by on my next trip south and suggest all from the Ohio Valley area do the same when they plan their vacations to the eastern seaboard this summer.  My only regret was that I didn't get some "to go" to bring back DiCarlo memories to others that I visited on my trip who had relocated.

I am originally from Steubenville, Ohio, and my mom was raised in Wheeling, WV. So I grew up eating DiCarlos Pizza! I moved to Virginia Beach in 1996, and have tried so many different pizza's, but none even came close to DiCarlos. There are no square cuts here in Va Beach!!

My husband and I got married about a year ago, and he is from Altoona, PA. Some of his friends there had been to Wheeling, and had DiCarlos pizza, and we kept telling my husband how wonderful it was. I tried every pizza place in Altoona, which has about 4 places that have square cuts, but none of them compared to my DiCarlos.

My husband just called me on the phone and told me that he heard about a new DiCarlos pizza in Chesapeake, and I thought for sure he was kidding me!! To my surprise and total excitement, I looked it up on the internet, and found it!! Guess where we are going for dinner tonight??!!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH from bring DiCarlos pizza to this area!! I can't wait to tell my family so that they can go there too!!!

We were trying a new way to Greenbrair Mall and what did we see to our amazment-A red DiCarlo's sign. My husband said did you see what I thought I saw-it can't be. We're coming this way on our way home to see if it is true. My husband and I grew up in Follansbee, WV. We have lived in E-City, Nc for almost 13 yrs. We grew up on Di's in Wellsburg but have had Weirton, and Steubenville as well. We went to school at WLSC and made many a mid-night run off the hill for Wheeling Di's.
When we got done at the mall we stopped to make sure it wasn't a mirage and if it was the pizza was awsome! We got a tray and it won't be the last. As we were driving away I called my best friend in Wellsburg to tell her we had DiCarlo's in the Van and she thought we came home for Christmas.
We can't wait to go to VA again so we can have it again. The 30 minute drive beats an 11 hour car trip home to WV. My sibling are going to be mad-DiCarlo's was one reason we went home to WV now we just have to drive to VA.

Thanks a bunch,

Newport News, VA

 I have lived in Newport News since 1976,but grew up in Follansbee WV. For the first 20 years of my life DiCarlo's was the only pizza I knew. After serving my country in the U.S.N. .then again as merchant seaman, Dicarlo's was not readily available to me, but I never forgot. From time to time I would make my way back to Follansbee to visit my dad, always timing the 8-9 hour drive as to arrive at the opening time of the Wellsburg shop. One day I was looking @ the DiCarlo's website ,( just wanted to see a picture of the box ), It was then I discovered a DiCarlo's was in Chesapeake, honestly, I had a hard time going to sleep that night from sheer excitment. The next day I made the 43.2 mile drive to Chesapeake ,walked in the door of the pizza shop ,from the smell I knew I had arrived. The taste and the memories were from my childhood. The owners,Millet and Janet ,are great . I now make at least 2 trips per month, buying one tray to eat on site and one tray for my freezer. In closing I have to say,may God be my witness, I will never be DiCarlo's pizzaless again...

Originally from Michigan myself but my family is from Wheeling. Some of my earliest memories are from family get togethers with Dicarlo's Pizza many times right in the parking lot hot out of the oven!
Since I travel a bit for work whenever I'm anywhere near a Dicarlo's (near meaning I've been known to drive from Baltimore to Elm Grove for a few boxes on a whim) I have to stop in!
As luck would have it I'll be in Chesapeake for work next week and can't wait!

My wife and I made the trip to the new DiCarlos in Chesapeake yesterday (it felt for a minute like I was still living in the valley since the Steelers were on locally and we ate DiCarlos pizza). My wife and I are both from the valley (me from Moundsville and her from Wheeling) so we had to make the trip to the new Chesapeake store. Whenever we go home for Christmas ,we always make it a point to get Coleman's fish sandwiches and DiCarlos pizza (usually from the Elm Grove store), so we were happy to be able to have our pizza months earlier than usual. The owner Millet was very friendly and he made us pizza that was authentic and delicious. Hopefully the business will thrive and I will be able to have my little slice of home as often as possible. Even though I have to drive 17 miles to get to the new store, I would pass up 100 inferior pizza shops to get a slice of what I and my wife grew up on. Good luck in your new business and thanks.

I grew up on this stuff in Weirton WV and it has become the only highlight of my trips home.
Having it here in Chesapeake is cool but I hope they bring one to Virginia Beach.

DiCarlo's is now in Chesapeake!!
I have lived in Virginia Beach for the past 21 years, but I grew up in Wheeling WV, and I even worked at the
downtown DiCarlo's when I was in college. I've always thought a DiCarlo's Pizza would do great down here in
Hampton Roads. There are only two things I had to have when I went home to Wheeling: one is a Coleman's fish
sandwich and the other was DiCarlo's Pizza. I even have the downtown Wheeling store on speed dial on my cell phone.

I have always loved DiCarlos pizza since a young age. And when we were looking to buy a house one of the plusses of this house we bought was that DiCarlos is about 1/2 mile away if not closer than that.. We still after 4 years of living here still get it on a regular basis. Especially after the kids are long asleep. That is the best time to get it when you can sit down without kids and truly enjoy DiCarlos Pizza!!!!

I recently saw your TV ad and had to try your pizza. I am originally from Northeast Pennsylvania and was raised on Old Forge (small town in PA) style pizza. Since moving to VA some 4 1/2 years ago, I have found some good pizza, but they were not what I was accustomed to eating.

Well, let me tell you! I just picked up my first tray, and you will be seeing a lot more of me. It is definitely worth the 1/2 hour drive from VA Beach. I can't believe the taste of the fabulous sauce, as well as, the fresh crisp crust.

If I run into anyone from NE PA living in the Hampton Roads area, I will be certain to tell them about your pizza. It's the BEST that I have had since moving to VA.

I just saw the Ad for DiCarlo’s in Chesapeake and my heart skipped a beat! Quite literally, I was out of breath. Thinking I was dreaming, I called the number and spoke to Janet, and confirmed that yes Virginia, There is a DiCarlos. I am at work now, and will be heading there with my wife and child this weekend.

I was raised in Charlotte North Carolina, but am a Buckeye by Birth. I was born in Steubenville OH, a short drive from Wheeling, WV. My earliest memories of home are of going to see grandma, and going to DiCarlo’s at midnite to get trays of pizza. Any time that we went home, and even to this day, we always make it a point to make the drive to one of the locations to get some of the best pizza on earth

(This was written last week, prior to my first visit)

Heck Yeah!! Twice in a week, I have had that baked goodness!! Not only was it 100% true to the original store, the staff is great. In fact, I had forgotten about the opening time, and had piled My wife and her Grandmother in the car to make the 35 mile drive to DiCarlo’s; we got there at 2 and they didn’t open till 3. I called, and Janet had asked where I was, I said “Sitting in the Gold Car, outside your door!!” Her brother wasn’t in yet, so she said that she could bake one for me, but that she had never done it before, so she wasn’t sure of the turn out. I was craving it, so I said yes, please. And it did not disappoint!! I have since stopped another time on the way home from work, and again 100% authentic. This is not cookie cutter, Papa J**hns or Pizza H*T; this is the best pizza on earth. Fresh crust, and that smell when you walk in the door that ONLY DiCarlos can produce. Words cannot express how much this means to me. The first bite brought back so many long ago memories that I got a little choked up. I honestly really have never had that feeling when it comes to food before!

Anyways, I am just writing to share, and share I will. I am spreading the word long and far to help them out. It must be tough with so many pizza joints so close, but I honestly believe that once people get a bite, they will be hooked, just as I am. I live in Camden NC, and make the drive to Chesapeake just to eat it!

Sincerely,
Dave Lohr

My buddy always bragged about how good this pizza is.  Now that I've tried it, I'm a believer...

I had my first taste of DiCarlos pizza about 32 years ago. It was then and still is now the very best I have ever tasted. No matter where we go it will always be the standard by which we judge the pizza we are eating at the time. We lived in Virginia for 40 years and always tried to take a tray home with us whenever we came back to Moundsville for a visit. We then made the short drive to Elm Grove, anticipating the scrumptious flavor we would soon be enjoying. The crust was always just right, the sauce was perfect, and the way they put the cheese on after it was done made it just right. ( I am making myself hungry)
One year we sent our son Brian a tray for his birthday. He lived in Newport News Virginia. He was totally surprised since he loves it also. Now that there is a DiCarlos in Chesapeake Virginia, there is no happier person than our son Brian. We hope that all goes well with the new store there and hope that there are enough people to make the pizza, because once they taste it you will be bombarded with customers. Good luck to the new owners!!
Now if someone could just put a DiCarlos in Fredericksburg Va. for our other son David or maybe one in Brooklyn New York for our daughter Sarah.

I just ate at Dicarlo's in Chesapeake and it was awesome! They told me about your website.
I grew up in Steubenville, Ohio eating this pizza, in fact, we lived right down the street and every weekend we would go wait in line for a "full sheet". As a kid, I would ride my bicycle there to get a slice with my friends. The Navy took me away some 30 years ago, I've been all over the world, but every time I went home to Steubenville to visit my Mom, I had to bring back a cooler full of Dicarlo's pizza and a box to eat it in. No other pizza tastes like this, over the years I have met other people that also are forever comparing inferior tasting pizza to Dicarlo's.
No more, now I have a taste of the valley right down the street again. Guess my Mom will never see me again, haha.
Gota get me a shirt next week for sure.

I have so many great childhood memories of visiting my grandparents
every summer in Wheeling, WV. My cousins would all grab a can of
Pepsi, pile into the back of a pick-up truck, and ride down to
DiCarlo's to split a tray of pizza.

I now live in Brooklyn, NY, with some of the best pizza in the world
and there's no doubt that DiCarlo's is at the top of my list. Thanks,
DiCarlo's!!

I grew up in Moundsville, WV. I am 61 years old. When I was a young child, my parents took us to get DiCarlos pizza for the first time. I had never heard of pizza before. I told my parents that it smelled funny and I would never eat pizza. My Mother encouraged me to taste it and I fell in love with it. As a teenager, my friends and I always went to DiCarlos. Through the years other pizza places popped up but none could compare to DiCarlos.

I grew up, moved away to the state of Virginia for work. and lived there for 40 years. Each time that we visited family, we and our 4 children always made a trip to DiCarlos pizza. It became a tradition. We could not leave WV without having DiCarlos. I retired 3 years ago and moved back to my home state of WV. We still go to DiCarlos Pizza in Elm Grove, WV. for a treat, we drive and hour and a half for DiCarlos but it's worth every mile that we drive! And although my parents are elderly now, they still enjoy DiCarlos pizza. Its flavor is mouth watering and undoubtedly unsurpassed. I'm am thrilled that there is a DiCarlos Pizza in Chesapeake, VA. Our son lives in that area and has always been a great DiCarlos fan. I'm sure he will be a regular customer and when we visit him and his family, we will definitely be stopping by. Thanks for the memories DiCarlos.

I grew up eating DiCarlos pizza in West Virginia every time we visited our family in Moundsville. We'd either get it from the
Elm Grove, or Glendale locations. It was great, but it ruined me because nothing could ever compare with DiCarlos. =)
So after tolerating bad pizza in Virginia for YEARS, two super-wonderful people (Janet & Millet) changed everything!
They brought the world's best pizza right here to my home state!
Only in my dreams, did I ever expect to eat DiCarlos pizza right here where I live,
but as of August 2008, my dreams have become a reality!


Here's me & Janet (co-owner) on the day I ordered my first VIRGINIA DICARLOS PIZZA!!

Janet was SUPER NICE and gave us all free DiCarlos T-Shirts,
so we returned the favor by wearing them the next day to Water Country, Williamsburg.

Here's a shot of me w/ the girls walking around the park, doing some advertising for the best pizza on Earth!! =)
