**Restaurant Review: Declaration – A Mixed Bag of Experiences**

At Declaration, diners are greeted with a vibrant atmosphere and inviting staff. While many rave about the exceptional pizza, with unique toppings like brussels sprouts and butternut squash, the service has received considerable criticism. Guests noted severe delays in food and drink delivery, leading to chaotic dining experiences. Additionally, some patrons expressed discontent with the cleanliness of the facilities. However, a handful of visitors found the food and drinks, particularly classic cocktails, to be outstanding. Overall, Declaration presents a blend of commendable cuisine and notable service challenges, leaving guests divided on their dining experience.

Our experience got off to a bit of a shaky start as we had to wait a while for a table to clear, but the staff was accommodating and made it work for us. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as my dad and I were able to catch the game while enjoying our pizza. The shrimp pizza was incredible, and the butternut squash pizza was both delicious and unexpectedly delightful. Overall, we had a fantastic time and enjoyed great pizza!

Food was sub-par and service took way too long. We were going to a show, so we ordered drinks and a few apps. Took forever to get our drinks, and the apps took longer than if we'd ordered a regular entree. I don't fault the wait staff, as they were bustling all around to try and serve people, but there was too few of them to adequately handle the crowd. Last but not least, the bathrooms were atrocious. One toilet was not working and was in disgusting condition, the other had no toilet paper. We took a chance on this place, as it seemed convenient and we attend lots of shows in the area, however, after this experience, we won't be back.

This place is amazing. The food is great. I am from Manhattan and to this day have never had a better Manhattan or Old fashioned ever! This place is the place to go!! The owner Teo cares about his clientele. Both John and Javier do an amazing job! Thanks.

Timing of appetizers and main course coming out was off extremely so. The 4 appetizers for 4 people came out piece-meal over 5-10 minutes. And then the pizzas came out immediately afterward so that our table was extremely crowded. The manager came up immediately after this and didn’t say anything about the poor timing. The food was okay but not a great value. Would not return here.
