Reviews Pizza Den

Roast beef and stromboli are a must try!  I never leave Oxford without eating here. The absolute best sandwiches in Mississippi.  It should be a privilege to eat here, not a right. Enjoy.

Food Yes-Service NO!. You can't say anything negative about the food. I've eaten sandwiches here for over 34 years and it's like the first time every time. That's hard to do. As to the service, it is unfortunately just a painful today as it was the first time I ate here. I knew Bob. He was slow, but he wasn't bitter. This is one of the few "original" places left in Oxford. I hope it last forever.

Great food and I love the "make your own sandwich" experience. Make sure Jonathan, Brett, and Eric are working when you go there.

One of my two all- time favorite places to eat on Oxford. But 2 things: service is a la Soup Natzi and if they tell u 20 minutes to get ur pickup don't wait! They will burn it in the oven until u get there. That said, best sandwiches in this town hands down!

Anybody who gives this a Negative review PLLEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEEE IGNORE!


Seriously!

I always get the Stromboli an it is great. Everything is good though.

Lunch Rush. The food here is good but I would definitely suggest going for lunch since late in the evening they are so dead it just isn't any fun. Go to the counter and order up your favorite pizza or sandwich.

Great Memories from Back in the Day. Last Saturday's forecast was 70 and sunny...that's all the Ride to Eat crew needed to hit the road. We had already promised a friend we'd attend the annual bike show at the local civic center; so, that only left us a few hours on the bike. Brian checked the weather and suggested we head south. With only an hour and a half driving radius, that left us only a few destinations...Oxford, Corinth, and New Albany. So, I turned to Urbanspoon.com and started spinning. When Pizza Den turned up on the "shake" I nearly fell off the bike!

While I was an undergraduate student at Ole Miss during the late 80's, I probably ordered from Pizza Den (or Pizza Bob's as we called it) at least 3 times a week. Same order every time...full-length Stromboli with a side order of chips. After graduating and moving to Memphis, I got my first grown-up job, got married and started a family. But, I never forgot about Pizza Bob's. So, on a sentimental tour around 15 years ago, my husband and I took the children on a road-trip to Oxford with the explicit purpose of eating the one, the only, Pizza Den Stromboli. With anticipation, we all pile in the car and headed to Oxford. When we turned on the University Drive exit, I was on the edge of my seat, I was so excited. But, as soon as we turned into the parking lot, my heart dropped. The building was empty...the booths gone, the ovens, everything...just gone. So, we at at McDonald's....yes, it was just that depressing.

So, to make this incredibly long review, even longer:-) When Pizza Den popped up on my mobile Urbanspoon at a different location, I had to hang on tight while I tried to flag down Brian and Judith to get them to pull over. First order of business, I had to call and verify that the restaurant was in fact the original Pizza Den...and, it was!! Second, to convince them it was worth a try. Neither had heard of the place; but, they could see how much I wanted to go. So, they gave me the "Pity Ok" and we were off!

We arrive at Pizza Den's "new" location and found the same old booths, same ovens, same atmosphere as the original...everything except the beloved Pizza Bob who had passed several years prior. But, his family still runs the restaurant and his memory lives on.

I head straight the counter and order the usual...full-length stromboli with chips for $8. My husband does the same. But, Judith and Brian take a different route and ordered a side salads for $4 and small pizza's for $6. I told them I'd never seen anyone order something besides one of their oven sandwiches; but, I'm sure it would be good.

The salads arrive and, I didn't want to admit it; but, they were pretty bad. Well...not bad really...just not worth $4. it was just a bowl of lettuce with a packet of dressing. At this point, I'm sweating it. I'd hyped this place up so much on the ride down and didn't want to disappoint everyone. But, I shouldn't have worried...when the pizzas and stromboli's arrived, it was as if it was 1984 all over again:-) The stromboli's were the same mouth-watering sandwich I remembered and the pizzas were just as good. Judith even commented that it was very close to the pizza she makes at home...which by the way is the most amazing pizza I've ever eaten...so, "close" to Judith's home-made, that's good enough for me!

So, the Ride to Eat crew gives this trip down memory lane, 4 revs of the engine!

SO-SO. Great food. worst service in the entire world. last time i went it was not crowded and had to wait an hour. The next time i called my order in went 30 minutes later and they just kept telling me i hadnt called and ordered it. If you actually get the food its fire

Same as everyone else. Food is wonderful but service is horrible. The pizza is great and perfect to share with many. You have to get your own refills and scoop your own ice. You also have to go get your food from the counter when the rude people call out your order. Haven't been back since. Be careful asking for a take out box for leftovers. They give you the 3rd degree about it and inquire what you're taking home.

The best Stromboli ever made

Pizza Den is a great place to come! My family got two pepperoni pizzas and a roast beef sandwich and everyone loved their meals! If you are wanting nice, hot pizza or a great sandwich, this is the place to come!

My most favorite place to eat in Oxford! I am going to miss it so much when I move. A true hidden gem!

We ordered takeout. It was ready right on time and it was delicious. Will be going back.

We are from Missouri and love pizza den, just ordered from car .. yummy roast beef and cheese!
