How is the pizza?

Mediocre. I've had better pizza from the national chains.

The lunch deal is pretty decent. You get a slice or square, a salad and a drink for $10. I didn't time it, but it took at least 30 minutes to get our order and the pizza wasn't particularly fresh, or even that good. Very few toppings and little sauce on the NY Style, not to mention vegetables being almost raw and in the form of huge pieces. The sauce on the Detroit style was pretty good, but still a mediocre pizza. Both salads (Ceasar and house with creamy Italian) were excellent, except mine had an entire, intact Romaine leaf in it. We were both on lunch from work, so didn't get to try their drink menu. That had some interesting sounding cocktails I would like to try.

Agreed. I've only had their Detroit-style, but I wasn't overly impressed. Like Corwin1968, I like their sauce, but it felt light on the toppings, including the cheese - and there was less caramelization to the crust than I'd prefer. It's certainly far from bad but I think Providence slings superior squares. I do like that Rendezvous has two size options for Detroit-style, though. Haven't tried their NY style at all.

We went last week and really liked it. I've become a fan of Detroit-Style lately, and I'd rank it as #2 behind Providence. But that might be because Providence was the first DS pizza I ever had. :-)

Like any pizza, it's never going to be as good if you buy a slice vs. an entire pie.

Slices are from pizzas that have been sitting and then they often reheat them, which dries them out.

You can sometimes get lucky with a slice from a freshly baked pie, but generally I've been very disappointed in just about every slice I've ever order.

I understand that but Empire seems to be the exception. I've always loved their slices way better than their whole pies. The slices have less flop and the bottom crust is always great but the last time I got an entire pie I asked for it well done and it was great.

My favorites are Providence both styles, Halls, Empire and Mozz and Mari's but I think they are closed or closing for a while and Mazzios is always solid for a chain pie and the closest one to me is penn/NW 23rd

I met my adult son and daughter last Sunday at the new Rendezvous location by Quail Springs Mall. I arrived early and sat at the bar for a beer while watching some NFL and it's a good place to watch a game.

We split a large Detroit-style pepperoni pizza and the Chicken Strips and Fries. The pizza was great - still sizzling from the oven, cheesy and bubbly and very tasty. The chicken strips were not bad - not as good as the pizza, but a good accompaniment to it. The fries were cooked perfectly and had just the right amount of salt. All in all, it was a good, tasty meal and we will eat there again.

One of the very best things about Rendezvous is it's very reasonable.

For lunch, you can get a slice, salad and soft drink for $10.

Beers start and $2.50.

I met some friends yesterday at the Quail Springs location. I had 3 Miller Lite's from the tap (around $5 total), a pound of really good smoked chicken wings ($7.50), and a slice of New York-style pepperoni pizza ($2.25). It cost me $16 and change and I tipped the rest, for a grand total of $20.

THAT, OKCTalkers, is a BARGAIN. And a very tasty bargain at that!

I just make pizza at home, 24 hour sourdough.

Sam's Club now has a good replica of the expensive Ooni home pizza oven for only $200.

It gets around the issue of a home oven not being able to get hot enough, as you generally need to hit 700-900 degrees to replicate the crust from a commercial pizza oven.

A home pizza oven is an extravagance but for $200 I might give it a go.

i have an ooni and it is one of the best presents i have ever gotten ..

great for Pizza but also great to sear steaks / pork chops veggies ... and cook fish at the lower temps ..

we use it weekly

that homemade pizza looks really tasty.

i bought a propane-powered pizza oven by blackstone a few years ago and it never got much use from me... the unit worked well enough but i never really got the hang of launching the pizza into the oven. i might have to give that another try soon.

I have been intrigued with the pizza ovens but didn't think we would use it much. Didn't think of other uses. Which model do you have? Is it indoors or out?

Great for naan bread as well, which is one of my all-time favorite things and something that is nearly impossible to make at home without a super-hot oven.

Hope you take advantage of Sheesh Mahal and all their varieties of naan (and other) bread since you can walk there, we're partial to the garlic naan. :)

i have the model that is now called the Koda gas powered and outside (i keep in under my patio roof even during use with no issue .. you can put your hand underneath the oven during use with no heat issue)

i didn't pick mine out .. if i had i would have picked the duel fuel one and bought the gas burner attachment just to have those other options ..

they now sell a larger one as well .

we make pizza maybe once a month ...

but i use it to sear steaks and chops at 900 degrees (with a cast iron plate) at least once a week and often more .. and 2 or 3 times a month i turn the temp down and do fish and veggies ..

if you get one for sure buy some 900 degree gloves it makes it very easy to pull out the cast iron plate and turn it with out having to use tongs

what time frame does the happy hour run for

Their Happy Hour is Monday through Friday from 3pm - 6pm.

Looks like the Quail Springs location closed according to their website as only the downtown location is listed.
