Delia's Pizza & Grill (Springfield)

Big Note: We stopped going here because of quite a few sanitary issues being reported on Yelp.  That's just unacceptable and we have been options.  Olympians being one.

Prior review
Was really looking for a good, tasty gyro in the Springfield area.  Searched the web and found Delia's was rated four stars on Yelp and that there were not many bad reviews, and the ones that were bad weren't because of the food or the establishment itself, but personal tastes/expectations.  We were warned to expect big portions, too. And we expect places with reviews that like the come through. Boy, did she.

We started with the dolmades.  Eight tasty fig wraps surrounding a small light greek salad.  Very basic, which also means very good. However, the one drawback is it was mostly rice, so while tasty despite this, if you go in expecting/wanting/expecting more filling variety, you'll be disappointed on that part.

L ordered a gyro wrap. Thinking that would be it, we were told, "Well, it comes with a side" -- fries, garlic mashed potato, plantains, yuca, and several other that I didn't hear because I stopped listening at yuca and plantains.  Plantains are maduros, not tostones, so I passed, instead ordering the yuca.  So L's meal ended up being four dolmades and a plate of yuca, because they brought me what was like one-and-a-half yucas, cubed, fried a perfect golden shade of awesome. It came with two sauces: one "regular" mayonessa sauce (likely mayo, garlic, paprika and tumeric) and one chili sauce (pureed peppers of a green variety).  Both were good, but that chili sauce was quite notable because it was different and had a nice spiciness.  Not too much, but a steady spice.

The gyro was tasty...all four bites taken from it.  Not because the portion was that small, but because we were so full!  Can't wait to see how well it is the next day.

M ordered a calzone with ham, spinach, onion and black olives.  It was big.  Let's put it this way, cut in half, it spanned across the normal-sized to-go box. Tasty and very toasted, but...it was not as crispy as expected. On its own merit, it was delicious. I hesitate to unfairly compare it to other calzones. The lack of crispy shell is the only minor complaint. It will make a hopefully, good next day meal.

Things to try in future visits: pasta carbonara (because they know it should have pancetta), chicken poblano, dessert, and the Wednesday pasta BOGO for 2.95 (seriously).

Cost
$$ -- It will sneak up on you if you aren't paying attention.

Cleanliness
Clean.

Service
Quite good and notable. Our waitress Megan was a great, funny saleswoman ("When we see you tomorrow...") and made our first trip a fun time out. It wasn't that busy, and it was quite notable how other staff would come by to pitch in and make sure we were taken care of. Definitely added positively to the experience.

Pluses 

Portions -- Everything you may read on Yelp or Yahoo reviews are all true.
Service.
Variety -- They have a wide array of food options. Some can see this as a negative (as one reviewer wrote: Do one thing well, then branch out).  But the positive is you need a go-to place that hits multiple things well enough for those nights you may not know what to eat and want to avoid a chain.
Local-owned mom-n-pop.

Minuses
Maybe the price but honestly, you can split a meal and two drinks and come out around $20 for two.

Overall value

Great value as you'll be paying for two meals in one and quality of ingredients.
