    It's okay, I liked the salad & bread not so much the entrees. However my fiance loved the entree food of lasagna, raviolis & spaghetti it reminded him of when he was a little guido.

    If you’re looking for amazing Italian food look no farther! The service and atmosphere is outstanding! Casual dress which was right up our alley! The food was AMAZING and portions are enough to share. Fresh rolls, Antipasto salad, Lasagna with homemade noodles that you can actually taste because the aren’t paper thin, Spaghetti, Cheesy garlic bread, Pizza and just look at the size of that Meatball!! Oh, and they don’t skimp on the cheese!!! They have many locations and I highly recommend you try it. Enjoy!! 😋

    They charge for everything. I pickup 2 medium pizza and a super torpedo I asked for to pepper Cheaneys they did not give it to me. They wanted to charge for 4.99 for like three pieces. And they charge like five dollars for their soda a 20 ounce sodas five dollars. I believe their prices are extremely expensive. The quality is OK. They put too much cheese on the pizza it’s heavy but it’s not the best I’d rather get a thin pizza. This is the last time I come here. They couldn’t give me two free pepper, Cheaneys on the side for my sandwich and I would still come here. just because of that I’m not coming anymore. They didn’t cut my sandwich in half. 2 piece any tomatoes. 14 dollars sandwich No dressing They cook doesn’t even wash his hand and he kept rubbing his nose. I came back and they will still not helping and they told me they put dressing and tomatoes . I brought the sandwich inside the lady was trying to help but it was too late. You can’t even compare it to Jersey mike. I would give jersey mike at 9.5 for the sandwich and I will give 1.2 for this torpedo. I’m sorry I don’t like to leave bad rating but this time I had to because I came back a few times and then did not help me. I had torpedos from different location and it was amazing. This guy was just horrible. If you want someone touching their face and making your food good luck. They have no customer service. The lady was ok but the Hispanic guy was extremely rud and unhelpful.

    I really enjoyed this place. Great portion size, pizza was just how I like it, extra cheesy, nice thin crust. I enjoyed the lasagna and the bread too. The restaurant reminded me of a real mom and pop place. Great service. I will definitely consider coming back next time I'm in town, had a very extensive menu, intrigued to try a sub or another pizza selection. Thanks for the food!

    It's a great place for parties, and the pizza is genuinely more delicious than it looks. I had the all white pizza because I prefer pizza with less red sauce, and I was frankly astonished how good it tasted. I also had some of their antipasto salad which by the way comes with a HUGE portion, and that was pretty good. The signature element of this place, at least the one I went to, is the sheer volume of the cheese that's on every piece of pizza. I've had pillows that weren't as sturdy and pillowy as the layer(s) of cheese on it. My cousin who I went with, and goes there often, brought Lactaid pills in preparation for it, so be warned this place goes hard on the dairy. I give the food 4 stars because there didn't seem to be much variety in the menu for pizza, even though it's a pizza place. Lots of other food though, my wife got the chicken parmigiana and the chicken was a little dry and tough, but otherwise everything was good. Onto the service: while the food did get to us at a good pace, I don't remember there being much follow-up after to check up on us. 4 stars. Atmosphere: This place is the quintessential Italian pizza place that American media portrays. I've never seen anywhere else that fit the idea of an Italian pizza place from a Disney cartoon as well. 5 stars.

    If you’re in the mood for a hefty Italian meal then this is the place. Food is consistent with other locations. Generous servings , tasty and full of cheese so make sure you can handle it. The service was great, ample parking out back but can get full on busy evenings.

    Best pizza incredible sauce for both antipasto and pizza. I bought some dough and sauce and it was a fantastic home pizza perfection! Thanks Filippis!

    I always order a large "fit for a king" which in the past has always been consistent order after order. This last time...less so (much cheese). It was a little on the dry side (normally a little greasy) and was missing about half the cheese. To note, this was the first time I altered the order slightly and asked for bell peppers on only half of the pie (and thinking back, I'm not sure there were any). Will see what next time brings.
