    It started off a little rocky because there was a table taking forever to leave but the staff was able to make accommodations for us which ended up being really fun because my dad and I got to watch the game and enjoy our pizza. The shrimp pizza is AMAZing and the butternut squash pizza was delicious and surprising. Great pizza and a great time!

    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.

    Great brick oven pizza. Super friendly staff. Great ambiance. We grabbed dinner here before a show at the 9:30 Club right across the street. Would highly recommend it!! You MUST try the Brussel sprout pizza!! Sooo good!

    Fantastic experience! The wait staff was knowledgeable and guided us to some delicious selections from the ever-changing menu. Split a meatball and the New Jersey pizza. I'm craving more Declaration in my life!

    Declaration has a cool and welcoming vibe, and GREAT Happy Hour every day! Very friendly staff and fabulous pizza. I live in Atlantic Plumbing and had a roof top party this past Fall, and ordered Pizza from Declaration....everyone asked about the pizza! Beyond delish! Definitely try it out when you're in this vibrant area of town.
