    We were fortunate to have Licavoli's Market host my daughter's bridal shower. They did a fantastic job! With the new restaurant opening up on Jefferson Ave, I am looking forward to some great meals and celebrations. I appreciate all the hard work they did and the quality of food and work really came out in the end.

    Owner of Market was cooking food with out a Face Mask! He was also allowing people in store without face mask on. Reckless And Discusting!!! I will never go back

    Absolutely the BEST Italian store in the Pointes! So cute and fun to walk around while waiting for freshly-made Italian sandwiches. We picked up some blueberry bread (awesome for toast), Jordan almonds, and don't forget the fresh-filled cannolis!

    This is the 1st time I’ve ever given a bad review, actually I don’t even give reviews! BUT I picked up an Italian meat tray from Licavoli’s today and was extremely disappointed. We ordered a large, it looked like a small. Skimpy on all the meat and cheese except for pepperoni, which is the least expensive of the meats. They even left a large strip of cheese rind in the tray. When I asked the owner about the tray He was incredibly rude ( granted it was warm and he was making pizza) and said “if you don’t like it don’t take it” I’ve lived in GP for 40 years , moved to Rochester and drove back to GP for this tray, Licavoli’s was highly recommend ….. think I’ll stick to Vince &Joes ( great Italian meat trays) or even Ninos.

    How disappointing 😞 I picked up a family meal. I ordered online. Large pepperoni pizza, cheese bread and a salad. The bottom of the pizza and the cheese bread is burned. Charred all over. It was awful. $30 wasted. You know it was burned and you still served it? Yuck! Don't think we'll be back.

    Everything here is amazing. Sure, the pizza is great, but the variety of items they carry in the market is great too. Their carry out meals are better than some of the Italian restaurants around. Best salads around too.

    I had high hopes, but was underwhelmed. After hearing so many rave reviews about the pizza, I was so excited to try it but found my Margherita pizza was very bland. The presentation is beautiful but I felt like it was missing flavor. I kept taking more bites to try to figure out what it was and I don't know if it's the crust, the sauce, or cheese, but overall, it felt like an overpriced pizza for subpar quality. I will say, their cannolis are small but definitely hit the flavor spot! I didn't get a warm and friendly feel after walking in, and it was only me and one other guest. The inside is absolutely beautiful and reminds me of a market in Italy. I really wanted to love it but for the other reasons above, I don't think I'll be back.

    My favorite Eastside place. Every time we go, the atmosphere is comforting, the service is quick, the pricing is reasonable, and the food is phenomenal. Everything is great. My all time favorite; the lemon breaded chicken. The sauce is perfectly balanced, and the chicken is crispy. Pair it with some nice pasta Alfredo? Perfect. 11/10

    Really good pizza by the slice. And they are one of the few places to sell sfinguna. Friendly staff too.

    Such a great family atmosphere and service. From the time you call to pickup they couldn't be any more friendly. Really enjoy the wood fire pizza and garlic bread.

    We drive from Macomb just to get pizza from Licavolis. Best pizza around the area.

  • 5/5 Nichole G. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered party sub trays for a birthday party, they were a big hit and SO delicious! Everyone complimented on how good the subs were. Definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Scott Vande V. 1 year ago on Google
    I can't say enough about how highly I think of Licavoli's. The atmosphere is great, it is extremely clean and well kept, the staff and owner are super friendly, and the food is fresh and excellent! They treat you like family! Please don't hesitate to order cookies, we've ordered a dozen on 2 seperate occasions and were extremely pleased. Josie does a great job with them! Please go to this gem! Highly recommend!

    Not one employee was wearing a mask. Disappointing since their pizzas and sandwiches are so good. But if you or someone in your family has asthma, is elderly, etc., just be aware. I'll be back post COVID-19 for sure.

    Very good pizza place, im making this review while under the stay at home orders. They were on time and very courteous when I picked up my pizzas.

    It's my favorite thin crust pizza around. The pizza is consistent and delicious. They have some unique options we enjoy trying.

    Great Local Pizza Place

  • 5/5 Angelica 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered the pesto, and Paulina's palomino pizza with the roasted beet salad.. all of it was so delicious! Will definitely order here again, the salad was so fresh with chunks of delicious beets and goat cheese. The pizza crust was cooked to perfection, not burned, seasoned from every angle, all the ingredients were evenly distributed too... When you order pizza you get these "bare" spots. This pizza was NOT that at all... Also picked up a pack of pumpkin spice cupcakes that were to die for!

  • 5/5 Patrick M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place never lets me down…..very reliable and always friendly. They know their food and the last 2- pizzas I ordered they not only catered to my diet but made a master-ful pizza. Thank you for the amazing food time and time again. Cheers…!!!!

  • 5/5 Todays P. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite local pizza place. I love it when they have tiramisu in the ready made section. It is so very delicious. The peppadew pizza is one of our favorites (you can even add protein). The pesto pasta with chicken in the ready made area is amazing too. My favorite sub is the lemon chicken sub. You can get a dollar and change for bringing the glass bottles back (if you buy milk). I would totally recommend coming here and trying it all!

  • 5/5 Natalie G. 1 year ago on Google
    I absolutely love the crust, the sauce, the meats. They use the pepperoni that curls in the eggs !! Love it. I am on a diet but, forget the diet when my craving for the Chicken pesto pizza comes. My fav pizza now!

  • 2/5 SanDago 1 year ago on Google
    I loved this place for years but as of late their food quality seems to be going downhill. The breaded chicken is often tough and chewy and I have had nearly stale, falling apart buns with my subs. The final kicker was ordering the palomino pasta again for the first time in a while and the sauce was sickly sweet, watered down and bland. What's going on Licavolis?

  • 4/5 FAVIOLA G. 1 year ago on Google
    First time, I had a good experience, I'll go back, food was great. Tried the vegetables pizza thin crust,it was amazing,I'll get it again, for me I also tried a turkey sub,the only thing was I wish yj bread was softer.

  • 4/5 C. J. (. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice little eat-in market. I stopped in a year or so ago to check it out and try a slice. The pizza was okay, but the vibe was great. The set-up makes you want to come in and explore. Service was good too.

  • 5/5 sam 10 months ago on Google
    Licavoli's is my GO-TO market / restaurant for pizza and other Italian cuisine! The prices are fairly reasonable and the food tastes great. The desserts are awesome, but as someone that bikes everywhere, some bike racks out front would be nice.

  • 5/5 Tim G. 1 year ago on Google
    Just finishing last few bites of Philly cheese steak and felt the need to compliment the cooks and the whole place. Terrific value and high quality ingredients. Roasted mushrooms and red peppers. Not your traditional Philly, but outstanding! The opposite of chain restaurants in all aspects. Amazing hard working crew too.

  • 5/5 Nicole F. 5 months ago on Google
    Love this Italian Market. Excellent service and amazing food. My favorite is their Eggplant Wood Oven Pizza and their meat sauce. No need to make homemade sauce again. Licavoli’s is the absolute BEST!

  • 1/5 Sarah H. 6 months ago on Google
    A friend recommended this place for some great pizza and thought I would try since I was in the area. I decided to order online and said it would be about 20 minutes. I got to the store a little early and decided to look around and it’s a cute little market. I ended up buying a few extra items to take with me as I waited for my pizza and Stromboli. I had to ask the young gentleman how much longer and he said to give him a second. He then proceeded to take a pizza off of the rack and throw it in the oven turn it around a few times stick it in the box and tell me my order was ready. Not knowing if it was Pizza that he stuck in or if it was somebody else’s needless to say I got back to the house and it was my Pizza that was in for a few seconds. I had asked for it to be well done so it would be extra crunchy and needless to say there was no crunch at all and there were barely any pepperonis on the pizza. So disappointed!

  • 3/5 Aidan A. 5 months ago on Google
    Licovolis was a very good pizza. But it was very over priced for what you recive. It had alot of flop and undercarriage was not cooked enough. Now I'm not saying it's bad pizza because I do really like it and I definitely recommend but for the price you pay I feel you could do better.

  • 5/5 Marissa J. 9 months ago on Google
    Our favorite neighborhood stop! We often go here because there are automatic doors in front so we can get our strollers with the babies in. Lots of grab and go options, fast service if you order too. Slurpees! We love the staff and the atmosphere here as well. The Italian stallion sandwich and Peppadew Pizza are 👌🏻

    Awesome subs and pizza, nice people working there too. You can't go wrong!

  • 1/5 judith z. 4 years ago on Google
    Heard from friends that their subs were good so I thought I would support a local business. Ordered 2 subs and picked a few things from the store. I told the girl at the counter that they were recommended by friends and I wanted to try the subs. She barely made a comment back. Got home ordered a turkey fresco Sub opened it and it was a beef sub. Just disappointed had to go back and tell them I had the wrong sub. They gave me my original order and did not even apologize for the error. Was just disappointed in the customer service. A small local store should especially have top notch customer service and I was disappointed. Will not give them my business will support other local companies that appreciate their customers.

  • 5/5 Robert P. 3 years ago on Google
    Phil and crew make the best pizza this side of Italy! Seriously, I’ve brought Italians that I work with in to dine on the food here, and enjoyed seeing their faces light up with joy while feeling like they were back home!

  • 5/5 Debby B. 3 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Arianna 3 years ago on Google
    Love going to a place where the person checking you out is touching your credit card and food and refuses to wear a mask...maybe that’s not the position for her

  • 5/5 Scott C. 3 years ago on Google
    I've been getting meatball subs here since Jersey Mike's stopped carrying them. Why didn't I come here before?! I've only tried a few different items, but everything has been superb and very consistent. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Aristides R. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent. Food is great. Staff friendly.

  • 2/5 Google U. 3 years ago on Google
    NO MASKS or BELOW THE NOSE! Really disappointed in Licavoli's today. Like this store and their prepared meals and other goods. But today, the man making pizza had no mask on (an owner?), the woman serving at the pastry counter had her mask on her chin, the young girl behind the pastry counter had no mask, and the cashier had her mask under her nose. Will not return for awhile. Covid cases are back on the rise, and there are too many other Italian bakeries/markets on our side of town to choose from who are following the safety protocols much better. The two down the street (B- and J- beginning letters) are way more cautious and compliant. It's a shame.

  • 5/5 Eyham N. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing, pizza was fresh and one of the best I ever had in my life. A true authentic Italian place. I’m not even Italian but this place makes you feel like you’re at home. I felt like I was in Goodfellas Carlitos way, The Godfather (not godfather III lol) , and the sopranos all in one!!

  • 5/5 Anthony L. 3 years ago on Google
    My best friend passed away unexpectedly and we had the celebration of her life planned for the weekend of July 4th. Our original catering option fell through so I was looking for another covid-conscious food option and decided on individual subs. I heard about Licavoli’s from my dad - he’d driven by a few times, was curious and looked them up online to find many positive reviews. I called an inquired about a large catering order for July 4th. The woman who answered was pleasant and helped me price everything out. I asked if the subs could be individually wrapped as we were being covid conscious and she said they could accommodate. I told her I’d call back to confirm the order as I had to double check with someone else who was helping me organize the celebration of my friends life. As I was calling to double check I missed a call from the market. When I returned the call the woman I spoke to originally told me that she misspoke and they were actually closed for July 4th, but if I was still interested she’d have staff come in in the morning specifically to make my catering order. Naturally because the subs are so good and because they were going the extra mile for me I went with Licavoli’s and I’m so glad I did. The subs were delicious and everyone enjoyed them. Can’t thank you enough!
