Davinci's Market Description:
Davinci's Market & Hershey's Ice Cream offers pizza, pasta, panini and Hershey's brand ice cream. Family atmosphere for dining, dessert or parties. The party room seats 25 to 30. The restaurant also has a game room.
Da Vinci’s Market is a charming restaurant tucked into a strip mall in Pickerington. Customers can get carryout or dine in and enjoy a buffet that offers pizza, pasta and salads, among other items.
The Caesar salad ($4.49 or $5.99) features crisp romaine lettuce, large croutons, Parmesan cheese and real bacon pieces. The dressing is creamy, but with a vinaigrette like tanginess that is unusual and good.
The fresh vegetables in the vegetable panini ($4.69) make it satisfying. The bread, with golden grill marks, is stuffed with red and green peppers, banana peppers, black olives, mushrooms, red onions, tomatoes and lettuce, all pressed together with melted provolone cheese. The menu mentioned a pesto mayonnaise but I didn’t taste it. The bread became soggy on the ride home, but the sandwich was still good.
The pizza ($3.49 to $19.99, depending on toppings and sizes) is excellent, and the array of sizes means there’s a pie perfect for any appetite. The simple and light tomato based sauce has a touch of sweetness, the dough is chewy with a good bite and a generous amount of cheese bubbles on top. The calzone ($3.49 to $7.09), is good, too. Ours came layered with cheese, sauce, pepperoni, mushrooms and banana peppers. It is not overly stuffed but filling enough. The baked penne pasta ($5.49) comes with one roll on the side and features the restaurant’s good tomato sauce covering perfectly cooked penne. It’s loaded with melted mozzarella and provolone, broiled on top, and has two meatballs tucked on the side. The meatballs are flavorful, but small. Be sure to order extra.
The chicken linguini ($5.99) comes topped with a generous portion of tasty, thin chicken slices, coated with Italian spices. The whole dish is topped with shredded Parmesan cheese, and comes with a roll on the side.
