Home of the double decker pizza which in effect are two thin crust pizzas with cheese and sauce cooked on top of one another. The large Greek salad or house salad you could make four side servings out of easily. Their homemade Greek dressing is pretty good too. Also, they have a winter batch of chili made with stew meat, no beans, and of course very spicy.

Wanted to support somewhere local, and wanted some pizza for the weekend. I am a food delivery driver and have picked up pizza for customers from here and really wanted to try it out after smelling it in the car taking it to customers.We got the three ingredients pizza with pepperoni, pineapple, and spinach. It was absolutely delicious. The sauce and things are a little sweet, and the pizza is very thin and crispy.They do the checkerboard pizza cut style for easy sharing, and the bread sticks were very good. Golden brown and the cheese dip was great as well. I would definitely recommend deerhead pizza as one of, if not the best local pizza shops in town at the moment.Looking forward to trying more menu options in the future!

Great place to relax and have some good food. Not over priced. Nice bar and the patio seating is very pleasant as well.

Our server was great! I cannot remember her name. It was last Sunday [9/13/20] and she had a long dark pony tail. Probably in her 30s! My boyfriend and I sat in on of the back rooms and it made for an amazing date! Great service, great food, amazing time overall!

I havent tried the pizza yet, but my Texas BBQ stromboli was pretty awesome. I loved it. It is on the sweet side of BBQ. Also, it was a dollar off, and came with chips, and a pickle. It is by far the best deal in town. The price honestly was way cheap and you can see from the pic, the strom is huge.I also got the original strom, but the Texas one I think is the way to go.I ordered the classic meats double decker pizza. Ill update shortly with details.

The family stopped in for Friday night dinner and were treated to not only a really good meal, but also really good music. A live band playing in the next room really adds to the experience. From pizza to Stromboli’s to Greek salads, this place has so much to offer. Our service was excellent too. Try the grilled pork steak with garlic toast and red beans and rice. It is my favorite!

Staff was absolutely awesome, very friendly and engaging. Definitely felt welcomed and appreciated.I ordered a 12 inch meat lovers pizza for take out, and wow! What a feast!I’ve lived in Evansville for about three years, and this is by far the best pizza I’ve found yet! We will definitely be going back.

I really enjoy this place. In the spirit of full disclosure I will say that the only thing Ive ever eaten here would be the double decker pizza. That is enough however. If you havent tried this you definitely should. The cheese pull is fantastic. Great crust. Fresh ingredients. Im sure their other food is good as well. My only complaint would be that aside from salad there are really no gluten free items on the menu. Could we add some bone in wings that arent breaded? Just my humble suggestion.

Its my favorite Thai food in Elk Grove. I always get the grilled combo which is marinated steak, Panang chicken and teriyaki chicken with 3 wonderful dipping sauces. The meats are served on a bed of warm but still crispy veggies. No rice or noodles with this so I usually have some of my husbands but honestly it doesnt need any. He orders the banana curry but gets it spicy. It is so good.

Very cool atmosphere. Super friendly staff. Tons of choices for my veggie wife, she loved the impossible burger.Had the Bru Burger and couldnt have enjoyed a burger much more than this one. From the fresh brioche bun to the savory burger with delicious toppings, this burger gets a huge thumbs up.

Deerhead pork souvlakia.I need to write something else here, but my mind goes blank just thinking about it. There is no more sorrow, no more pain. The cares of this world fade to a dull murmur, then fall silent. Marinated pork, sautéed onion, and feta cheese sing a love song to mankinds mastery of flavor, and atheists pause to reconsider, unable to explain the sensation of angels on their tongues.

Such a great place. Our waitress, Annie, was great. Helpful and attentive. The atmosphere is great- homey and charming. Pizza was hot and delicious. Live music was FANTASTIC. Troy Miller was just amazing and I hope I get to hear him play again. This wasn’t originally where we planned on stopping, but I’m so glad we did. I will recommend to anyone who visits Evansville.

Deerhead Tavern is a fun place to dine. You can eat in the bar, family room, banquet room or dine in the enclosed porch area. I love their fresh Greek Salad it is a very generous serving enough for three or four people. Their menu has a variety of offerings. I just love the atmosphere and the quality of the fool.

Fantastic food. We started with appetizers of cheese sticks, jalapeno poppers, cheese bread, and pretzels. Cheese sticks were crisp and cheese had good stretch. Marinara dipping sauce was a perfect warm with nice chunks of tomatoes. Pretzels came with a delicious white cheese. Then pizza was served. We had a double stacked pepperoni and a double stacked meat lovers. Sweet sauce, cheese had fantastic stretching. Cheese pizza and the cheeseburger pizza were thin crust. They were crispy but not burned. The cheeseburger pizza stole the show and was a favorite by all. The restaurant and staff were able to accommodate our large group of 14. Kept drinks filled without issue. Very friendly wait staff. Had a member of our group that was vegan. They did have a selection to please that food sensitivity.

One of our faves! We prefer the double decker because cracker crust just isn’t real pizza to us. But we really enjoy the nachos as well.

Hadnt been here in over 20 years (because I moved away). So happy to get back during a recent visit. Pizza is still phenomenal and house and Greek salads are so fresh and tasty with the house dressing. Service was great too.Wont be getting delivery again but may stop in to try it after a couple beers

Review №38

Wonderful place! Pizzas are very good. I love their strombolis and onion rings. Very good!! Onion rings are dipped and fried. Not store bagged bought. They also have good slaw. Husband has the roast beef and steak fries usually. But here lately has had the meat pizza. Great taste and aroma! Sometimes we get there and just a few people are seated but dont be fooled. When a few start walking in, they dont stop. It definitely is a favorite spot for many! I want to have a good salad some day. Ive seen others order and out comes a large great looking salad (I just love my Strom so much). They have their music nights and special events. Its a bustling place; Im sure people will enjoy dining.

Typical Evansville establishment, its mediocre and people around here think its fantastic. We got a Greek salad, which was completely flavorless, the dressing just tasted like vegetable oil. Also had a Philly cheese steak, which was just ok. Bacon cheeseburger pizza was good. Prices are good, service was fine.

The double decker pizza is very good, but it takes a while to cook. If you are hungry you might want to get an appetizer while you wait.A large double decker pizza is a lot to eat. I went with my wife and after eating a small amount she said she was full. We ended up taking almost a half a pizza home.They have an awesome booth with a stained glass window. Its just a cool place.Now for the bad. We ordered sweet Asian chili wings and they brought garlic parmesan wings. We didnt complain - we were hungry. The wings were still good, so thats a plus.Live music from 3-6 pm on Sunday.The picture is a large double decker pizza with pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms.

I went here with my girlfriend the other evening and it was an awesome date night. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. I would highly recommend the Greek salad. The dressing really sets it apart. I think it has a hint of mint in it. Anyways, my girlfriend and I got the double decker pizza which was awesome as well. I could only finish one slice though so make sure you don’t order too big of a pizza! The only bad part of my experience was the “lax” service. I wouldn’t say it was bad, just laid back as it was not too busy. This resulted in waiting on Water and my order for a bit longer than desired. I totally understand how it is though as my work experience predominantly consists of restaurants. All in all it was a great experience and date night!

Ive heard about this place often but never tried it. Troy Miller plays there every Sunday from 3-6:00 so I thought thatd be as good of time as any to try. Ive heard raves about this double decker pizza, I went with the pepperoni. Ill have to say it had no flavor at all: from the crust, sauce and cheese. Maybe if I got more toppings there would be more flavor, but I shouldnt have to do that. It was hot and the double decker is hard to come by, cooked perfectly just no flavor. I think Ill try a sandwich next time. The service was excellent! My beer was never empty and the waitress stopped by the table often.

Came to Evansville to see hairball concert. Left concert early because wife wanted to go to deerhead. We walked in at 10pm Saturday and the bartender determined that my wife was too drunk to be served food. I have never seen a restaurant bar refuse to serve a person food because they were intoxicated. She did not even have time to misbehave because we were turned away at the door. I called back to find out how someone can be too intoxicated to eat pizza and the manager cussed me out over the phone. Unbelievable! Wont be recommending this place to anyone that wants to have fun in Evansville.

Their strombolis are great and its a great place to listen to some live jazz, but I just came here to talk about the double decker pizza. First thought... Oh my goodness. I order one of these pizzas a few times a year for my employees and we love it. Load it up with all of the meats and one piece will fill you up. Of course, it tastes so good I always go back for a second piece and get so full that I have to take a nap. Thats okay because I have an office and my dreams are filled with pizza fairies. Seriously, go there and get a double decker pizza. You wont be disappointed.
