    Surprisingly good. All 3 of our pasta dishes: lasagna, shrimp scampi, fettuccine Alfredo were delicious. The salad was fresh and good. The garlic bread was a little plain but still tasty (the bread was like a hot dog bun, really soft). We'll definitely go back and try more stuff.

    We ordered 2 pizzas. The mushroom pizza barely had any mushrooms on it at all. Pizzas were pretty basic for what they charge. Honestly, I think Little Caesars pizza is better quality for the price. The garlic knots were good. They were very friendly and prompt.

    I buy pizza here for my family every other week. It can be a bit expensive, but it's worth it to make my family happy. The Jumbo size is the perfect balance between a getting a bigger pizza without getting too much grease. I absolutely love their crispy bacon bits!

    Pizza is good but delivery could be improved. I live only 5 minutes away, but it consistently takes the restaurant’s drivers more than 45 minutes to get here, and the pizza is usually either room temperature or lukewarm, so I have to heat it up in the oven before eating. I keep ordering from them because I like the pizza. Just wish the pizza was hot.

    Fresh! Fresh! Fresh! I've been passing by this place for years. Finally, we stopped and gave it a try. The best thing we did in quite some time. From the lunch specials to the rest of their menu, everything is freshly made as you watch. Family owned and operated for over 25+ years with a wide variety of, Italian dishes, sandwiches and pizza. Simply a great experience with a warm friendly staff. Parking in front lot shared with other stores but ample. Dine in or take-out, We've been back since our first visit and it's now on our list of favorites. Clean, Fresh, Friendly, Variety, a true familia business. Our Pick of the year 2023!!!

    I used to visit all the time prior to Covid, but then time got away from you. Stopped back in the other day, and funny enough, it felt like going home. Simple but tasty menu, caught up with the owner and shared a smile and conversation. If you are into supporting small businesses, please stop in and say hello. You won't be disappointed.

    Food was delicious! Slight hiccup with getting home with a pepperoni pizza instead of plain cheese, but staff was attentive and super quick to correct. Been a loyal customer since 2005!

    This place completely denies the notion that good food has to be expensive or "worth the wait." Italian Express delivers excellent Italian comfort food for low prices in no time at all. If you're looking for some quality when you don't feel like making dinner, give this place a try. It's become me and my partner's go-to Italian place.

    Always love getting food here, they make amazing bread they add in with every meal, and make their pizzas on as well. All the ingredients are very good quality. Great for takeout or even parties

    Ordered via delivery, appreciated their accuracy. Adequate Italian food. Pizza toppings were scarce and definitely cooked on a conveyor belt. Not our favorite by far. The Mama Mia special was dry; assuredly needed more sauce. The Greek salad was fine. Overall, okay but we would try elsewhere in the future.

    Ordered a pizza for delivery. ETA was BTW 12:24 ~12:39 PM. Later changed to 12:41 PM Called to find out where about at 12:48. Told me , will leave in 10 min. So I cancelled the order and got cancellation confirmation. But still got charged and had to dispute charge. Totally un-necessary work I have to go through. Will never order from this place cause I found better place called " Buccaneer Pizza" on Grand Ave.

    This place used to be 5 stars in my opinion. Not a fan anymore. Quality has gone down hill and prices have gone up.

    Great lunch specials and very quick and friendly service from order to complete, even though I was only one of three customers at the time I went. Nice double size portion of spaghetti to where I saved half for dinner. Nice size side salad, very fresh and great flavor dressing.

  • 5/5 Serena 1 year ago on Google
    pretty big portions for super reasonable prices and everything is always nice and hot when you get it, always delicious :)

    Pizza was thin, ample toppings but sauce wasn't particularly flavorful. Added hot sauce to give it a kick. Will try the italian food here next time but not my go to for pizza.

    Now THIS is good food! And I know good food because I'm from NY lol! Baked Manicotti, calzone, garlic cheese Knotts, and house salad excellent! I don't even write reviews but these guys deserve it. This is my go to place now! Delivery also perfect. Made my day!
