Chef David’s Food and Friends

If I could give a zero I would I ordered from this place twice and both times my order got canceled And then when you try to call the number the number is disconnected wow what a way to run a business it's called false advertisement so people whatever you do don't use DoorDash for delivery either because they're always canceling orders but when you place an order for this place it just takes your money and then you got to wait 5 to 7 business days to get your money back because apparently they're not in business If they were they would have a correct number when it's not out of service If I could give minus 1000 starters I would very very poor business like And I don't like giving bad reviews but this was just uncalled for and unprofessional especially when you have a non-working number which I found out after my order was canceled twice

One of my favorite places to dine in Wyomissing. Great food and great service. Chef David is the man.

The people here are great. Always a bright, smiling greeting when you walk in. Definitely a welcome fixture in the neighborhood.Love the tenacity of Chef David and his willingness to experiment with the menu. You get your staples but also unique twists on old favorites.If you're tired and not sure what to make for dinner, give yourself a break and let Chef David take the reigns. You can get takeout dinners here that you just can't anywhere else.

I ordered from this place because I kept getting menus in the mail. The food actually looked really good, so I decided to try. We ordered two different pizzas. Sadly, they were not fresh. They were not even fully reheated. The cheese was very rubbery and you could tell they had been sitting around for some time. Had the food been freshly made, it probably would have been great. But, I guess this is how they can afford to have competitive prices. If you want fresh food, find another place.

This is the most average food I've ever had. My family orders from here all the time because they carry Philadelphia water ice. Because my lovely girlfriend and I are addicted to it like it's crack we end up just ordering the food when I don't feel like cooking. The pizza is average at best. Thankfully our kids have never had great pizza so they aren't as traumatized as we are as adults. The cheesesteaks are also average at best. The cheesesteak creations on the menu are as ridiculous as the names. What self respecting "chef" puts a hotdog in a cheesesteak? I've already sent a strongly worded letter to Gordan Ramsey. He's probably having a stroke right now while filming one of his 12 cooking shows. The worst part isn't the food however. Aside from constantly being out of things they can't follow basic instructions. I asked them to put the wing sauce on the side and leave the wings plain. We got plain wings and no sauce. I asked for red pepper flakes on my cheesesteak because I needed it to actually taste like something and there were none. The only saving grace, and the only reason I gave it a second star is because they are always kind enough to call us and tell us that they are out of our favorite flavors of water ice.....which is every time. They seem nice but no one is an actual chef there and if it weren't for the water ice I would have never ordered a second time. I guess it's our own fault that we have a drug like addiction to Philadelphia water ice and we are destined to do this dance with Chef David's forever.

This was my 2nd visit because the 1st time was good. I'm angry as hell right now. I gave my order to the kid at register. He appeared confused. I ordered a sub sandwich. What cost me about $12 about a month ago cost me $16 today?! I heard the kid explain to the cook twice what I ordered. I reminded him I said oil & vinegar. He said it's on the ticket, it's there. Cook looked confused. I asked the kid if he's got it. He replied he's good, he understands. I get home to find I paid $16 for about 3 slices of salami and about 4 pieces of ham. More lettuce and tomatoes than meat. No oil and vinegar!!! He said it's on the ticket! He said the cook understood! There's a reason the kid had to explain it to cook 4 times. He didn't understand how to make a sandwich!!!! I'm livid. I paid $16 for a tomato and lettuce sandwich. For that much money I could have purchased a pound of ham and salami at the grocery store!!! My gut told me it wasn't gonna be right. I should have asked for my money back and said never mind before the cook started. This was an enormous disappointment, and I will not be returning. I will make sure to tell those that I advised the place was good to disregard!! Thanks for ruining my lunch!

Always a good experience with Chef David’s pizza, have to love the food.

So your fake news statment you just left is fake news.

Owner leaves dog outside all day in a yard with 0 grass. Dog barks from morning to night begging for someone to let it in. How do you think he treats your food? If you love dogs do not buy food here.

The staff was great! Food was amazing. Everyone was friendly and personable. You can tell they take pride in the customer service they provide. They knew almost everyone by name that came in. We had wings and pizza! The pizza was soft and cooked perfectly! The wings were hot, crispy, and flavored just right.
