First Location Opened
We opened our first restaurant in Oakwood Mall, serving Greek and Mediterranean. Family owned and operated by the Kapbardhi family.
Food Truck
We expanded our Greek and Mediterranean offerings, in addition to now offering American classics like cripsy fries and cheese curds! We also built our food trailer, and ran our first event. Gave back $500 to the community.
Expansion
In 2018, we moved to a larger facility in the mall including a much larger kitchen. Expanded our catering offerings to include wedding and large buisnesses with our food tent! Donated around $1,000 to the community.
Wholesale & Grocery
We received our license to begin producing our award winning food for sale in grocery stores and wholesale. Find our sauce and meat in Woodmans! Donated $7,000 back into the community.
Carrying On
We've been just as affected by the Covid-19 as the rest of the world, but our plans haven't been put totally on hold. We've been able to donate over $1,000 to the local humane association and donated food to essential workers on the front lines fighting the Covid-19 pandemic.
New Normal
While we are getting back in the swing of things and adapting to this “new normal” we have not forgotten about our community, this year we have donated $500 - $1,000 every month to a non-profit in our community. Our donations for this year add up to almost $9,000. We couldn’t have done it without the support that our restaurant, and food trailer receives from our amazing customers as they have been showing us a lot of love during these trying times. Thank you!
Oakwood Mall Location Closes
Our company has purchased a building that we will be using as office space, and as a processing plant for wholesaling purposes. You can find our food truck at this property during the summer when we have no events! Dhimiters acquired Pizza Del Re and will continue the beloved pizzas recipes. We opened Del Re back up to its original services with cosmetic updates! We are very proud to say that we have been able to make near monthly donations to various organizations throughout the Chippewa Valley this year, ending our donation cycle with the Eau Claire K9 unit! Del Re will pick up where Dhimiters left off in the new year but will focus mainly on veteran services! Our family is incredibly proud of the achievements we were able to accomplish with the Oakwood Mall location and at the same time are incredibly happy to close that location down and begin a new adventure! Thank you, all :)
Pizza Del Re Opens
In 2023, Pizza del Re proudly expanded our offerings with the launch of our buffet in February, complementing our later addition of a breakfast buffet. This year marked significant transitions, including the closure of our Oakwood Mall location. Through our commitment to local partnerships, we invested over $125,000 in raw goods from local vendors. Our dedication to community support was evident as we donated more than $25,000 in cash and gift cards, provided over $52,000 in discounts to military personnel and first responders, and raised over $8,000 for local high school programs. Our customer engagement was robust, with more than 43,000 takeout pizza orders. We also launched our own line of branded apparel, selling 850 pieces. Additionally, we maintained a steady sale of 37.1 frozen pizzas daily. These achievements underscore our commitment to quality, community, and innovation.
I’m a Greek and Mediterranean food enthusiast, so I won’t lie that I was a tad skeptical about Dhimiters when my boyfriend suggested it for lunch at Oakwood Mall. They claim to have the “best gyros in Chippewa Valley,” yet their mall location and food truck had me questioning the gourmet quality. Fortunately, they didn’t disappoint. What I came to love about Dhimiters are features that are both so simple yet so lacking in countless other restaurants out there today. Want high quality food, great service, and large portions? Dhimiters knocks gyros, cucumber sauce, and backlava right out of the park.
Like I said, I definitely judged a book by its cover prematurely. Dhimiters has an expansive menu with gyros, falafel, salads, fries, baklava, and more. The best part? Their quality holds up incredibly. The gyro I had was fresh, flavorful, and (as I came to learn later) sourced locally. It’s no wonder it tastes like its straight from my own kitchen. Their veggies are handpicked every morning. Their gyro with cucumber sauce (my new favorite) is made in house. This is something I’ll go back for time and time again, which is how I know I’ve found a new favorite spot.
Sure, there are still a few friendly restaurants out there (Chick-Fil-A I’m looking at you), but for the most part there’s a lot of miserable teenagers working counters these days. The food service industry doesn’t always have staff who go out of your way to help you or make you feel like you’re having an awesome dining experience. Thankfully, Dhimiters staff was all smiles from the beginning and actually recommended the food that I purchased. They weren’t anything short of pleasant, and I got my food quickly and with great presentation.
This is America. We love our large portions, and we don’t care who knows it. I barely got through even a portion of my gyro before my boyfriend was finished with his gyro with gyro sauce (also delicious). Then, he bought us their house-made baklava for dessert. Of course, I couldn’t turn this down, so I took half of my gyro home for dinner just so I could have a taste. This is truly a problem I wish I had at every restaurant. The baklava was flaky and hit the spot just right.
While I may have gone to Dhimiters a skeptic, I left a true believer. This will now be a permanent stop every single time I go to the mall. As a self-proclaimed “foodie,” I spend a lot of time researching spots to go in the area, and sometimes I don’t think foodies focus on local spots. Dhimiters is somewhere that’s accessible to everyone but their food is made with real ingredients. They give you a great bang for your buck, and they do it with a smile. That’s something I want in all of my dining experience.
