    This place is highly recommended by the 4.4 in Google reviews. It was not a great place. Food was ok. Presentation was terrible. No wait staff - it’s not really a restaurant. Meal prep containers as plates and plastic forks. Prices were restaurant prices though. Not going back.

    The owner is the real deal. Funny, friendly and enjoying what he does best, cooking! They worked on a few new sauces and asked us to try, it was just great. Very tasteful and spiced up right! We got the lasagna and the fettuccine with the new sauce.....YUM! Added a salad which was OK, just not my taste. Got a complimentary bite of desert to share with 4, it was their homemade Tiramisu....it was just wow. We definitely have a new place to stop when traveling along the I-10 from now on, thanks!

    Favorite pizza in town. I'd discribe it as new York style pizza with structure. It doesn't flop when you pick it up yet it's not a cracker. It's perfect! Also enjoyed the mushroom ravioli.

    I've tried to like Pastaggio's pizza because I have a friend that likes to order from there. No more. This last time the pizza made me sick. Way too much salt and grease. The cheeses and the meats are low quality and lack flavor. We ordered two thin crust but received one thin and one thick. I will not be back.

    Today was a first visit to Pastaggio's and it surpassed our expectations. The thin crust pizza we order was fully loaded with a hearty selection of meat, which my husband loved. We also ordered a Mediterranean Salad that was delicious. They also have a freezer selection of Green Chili Alfredo Sauce that I plan to go back for to put on veggie noodles.

    Pasta dish was pretty terrible. Tasted like it had been microwaved. The best thing was the bread honestly. The carrot cake was disappointing as well. No indoor seating, to go only even though the place looks huge from the outside.

    Came here on 12/31/22. My only wish is that they would reopen the dine in area soon. The food is truly amazing. I ordered the Italian sausage sandwich and it was so flavorful! The bread was so good I honestly would come back just to order a basket of their bread. Also had a medium minestrone soup. Sadly, the soup was served lukewarm. Otherwise, service was fast and food was amazing. You do not want to miss out on their bread!

    We ordered a pizza, 3 orders of Alfredo, and a grilled chicken sandwich. At first the family thought the pasta plates were small, however they were all full before the plates were clean. Everything had really good flavor and food was quick and ready early. Currently Pastaggio's is only doing take out, delivery or, curb side.

    My wife and I drove up from El Paso and so glad we did the food was absolutely delicious and took no time at all even though we were there during the lunch rush. The service was immaculate and inviting. I highly recommend lunch or dinner and they have a great patio as well. We will be back many more times. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

  • 5/5 Valerie V. 5 months ago on Google
    Loved it! We ordered the spaghetti with green chile, pesto cream tortellini, chicken fettuccine alfredo, and combo pizza. Everything was delicious. This is authentic Italian food with a twist of New Mexico green chile on some dishes. The staff and the owner himself were very warm, welcoming, and hands on. The bread that came with the pasta is freshly baked and just perfect. This is mainly a pick up/to go place but you are welcome to stay in their dining area which looks great with all original artwork. If you do decide to dine in, the food is brought to you in to-go containers. Water and plastic ware are available. Great place. Our family loved the food and the pleasure of chatting with the owner himself. He even showed a couple magic tricks with the kiddos!

    Green chile Alfredo with tortellini was delicious! First time at this location and the owner was extremely nice and gave us great menu recommendations. We came during our work lunch break and loved how fast the service was.

    We were visiting the area and looked up the top 10 places to eat. We thought: how can we go wrong with Italian pizza? This is one of the worst pizzas we have ever had. We ordered sausage and cheese. Being originally from Chicago, we looked forward to good sausage. It wasn’t. We pulled it off the pizza and the pizza still tasted like cardboard and the Caesar salad was brown. How can you even think brown lettuce is ok? $30 later, we are throwing out the whole pizza and salad. We are on a budget and it ruined our time/evening because we had to throw out food and had wasted money. Note: Take out only. Positive: is the place looked clean:

    This Gem is a beautiful establishment. My sister and I were met with genuine kindness from the time we ordered till we left. We answered the trivia question correctly and got 10% off our meal. We were then met by the lovely owner who welcomed us to the restaurant. I am so glad to have dined in such a wonderful restaurant.

    My husband and I from Connecticut, so we know what good pizza is. This is the best pizza we have had here out west. It’s been super hard trying to find decent authentic Italian food. My husband comes from an Italian family. This has got to be the best sauce we have EVER had even from back home. Even Stella enjoyed the spaghetti 😋

  • 5/5 Sandra A. 11 months ago on Google
    We stopped in on our way back to Santa Fe & met Lorenzo the owner. He was super friendly and even had us try various sauces as well as gluten free ravioli! GF pizza and ravioli are delicious! My husband had a regular pepperoni pizza and loved it too! We will definitely be back when in town!

  • 3/5 K G. 10 months ago on Google
    Food is pretty much standard to your local Pizza Hut or Dominoes, yet it's priced like it's gourmet, but definitely not the case. There's nothing that separates them from one another. Atmosphere is non existent, because it's just a pickup only spot.. 3 stars fits this place perfectly.

  • 5/5 Dan H. 1 year ago on Google
    Pastaggio's food is really good. We are gluten free and the pizza crust was just how I like it - thin and well browned. We had the Mediterranean pizza toppings, the marinara ravioli, and the Mediterranean salad. The owner came out and gave people samples of the red and green sauces, and then talked with us. That was a nice touch. The rest of the staff were lovely as well. Next time we are in Las Cruces, we know where we will eat. If wishes came true, they would open a restaurant in Durango!

    Pastaggios has the best pastas. You can add green or red chile to Alfredo or lasagna. Their pizzas are so good, too! They no longer offer indoor seating, but if you're looking for somewhere to order for pickup, this place is highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Anne M. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered 4 bowls for a business lunch and they were all fantastic . Special mention for the green Chile, pesto, mushrooms and chicken fettuccine: that was delicious! The bread is the bomb too! All of them were very good. Thank You Pastaggio’s for a great lunch!!!

    Ordered lasagna in person, took it home, and it was cold. Came in a tupper ware so seems like they have it premade in the freezer and they microwave it and then give it to you. Very unsatisfied especially for the price luckily my hotel has a microwave…

  • 3/5 Rick M. 1 year ago on Google
    Pizza was great, Spaghetti and meatballs was ok . I never had a sweet meatball definitely wasnt a authentic style italian and for that price I was expecting a bigger portion. Staff was very nice and had the order out faster than expected, just wasn't happy with the quality of the food. It's more of a fast food style italian.

  • 5/5 Bob M. 1 year ago on Google
    We live out of town and stopped in on a recommendation from a friend. The green chili chicken Alfredo and lasagna was some of the BEST I have ever eaten. Thank you to Lorenzo for making our visit amazing. We appreciate your hospitality. We will be back.

    Awesome pizza! The cheese and sauce is really rich and hearty. Love the flavor, definitely tastes authentic. Blows little caesar's, Papa John's, etc. out of the water. The Caesar salad is perfect. Can't wait to try the pasta they offer too. It's gotta be great.
