Pizzeria Delores is now open in Scott's Addition, and I stopped by during opening weekend to give you the dish.

The experience

By the end of the night, a few friends and I had rated the pizza out of 10, but first we had to acquire it, and despite the chaos of parking in Scott's Addition, that might have been my favorite part of the experience

The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor patio seating, both of which were packed the evening of our visit. The interior is intimate and dreamy — accented by rich reds and oranges, wood panels, warm lights, and white snapback caps for the staff.

Cost for two pizzas: ~$60 (+ tip)

Wait time: 32 minutes

While the restaurant prepped our order, we browsed neighboring businesses DawnStar Video Games and Wax Moon Vinyl and Video. I added a $2.50 "The Fox and the Hound" VHS to the evening tab.

The verdict

As amateur pizza lovers and nonprofessional food reviewers, my friends and I collectively gave our pizzas a 7.3 out of 10 with individual scores of two sevens, one seven-and-a-half, and one eight.

"It's like if focaccia and pizza had a baby," my friend said of both, although we unanimously agreed the House Pie #1 was preferred between the two. Food for thought: The two higher scores were given by the two individuals (myself included) who visited the restaurant in person for pickup.

We'll keep our review simple, but leave you with one final takeaway: We all felt full and content.
