“Stumbled across this place while shopping and boy what a treat. Loved the family friendly atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon. Brunch menu was fantastic and the portions were huge. Our waiter was attentive but not at the table ever 5 minutes which we loved. Will definitely be back!“
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars for Palios! ?✨ If I could give more stars, I totally would! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with the irresistible scent of freshly baked pizza. But it's not just about the food (which is AMAZING, by the way), it's about the fantastic staff who make every visit feel like a special occasion. They're not just serving pizza, they're creating memories. Highly recommend Palios for anyone who wants to experience pizza perfection with a side of heartfelt hospitality! ????“
“Went here last night on 03/28/2024 with my friend and we really enjoyed the food. The two guys were amazing and helped us find food that we would both enjoy and we had an amazing time. We got the alfredo chicken and alfredo cheese pizza and it was phenomenal. 10/10 i would definitely tell my friend and familyIf anything, i think some music would liven up the place a little more. But other than that it was really goodAnd their food is halal!“
“We ordered the supreme pizza and the meatball hero.. both were great. My husband ordered a specialty beer and liked it very much.The service was ok. With a multitude of waitresses standing and talking we were helped by someone tending the bar and helping with the tables. Needless to say, we were left to the wayside as she got busier. She was so sweet and nice when we were able to catch her.“
“Refreshing true Italian choice. Friends of ours took us here for the first time tonight.Excellent ingredients, and innovative menu choices that fit both vegetarian and Keto diets. Loved the antipasti and charcuterie. Pizza was melt in your mouth light and buttery. Meatballs were great (had them as appetizer instead of with spaghetti)“
“Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. Been here on 3 occasions and tried a different pie each time. 10/10 pizza. Great charring and dough has an incredible consistency. It shows that they really care.Photographed here is an empty box of Tiramisu. Truly the best I ever had. I know they say “seeing is believing” but, trust me, the lack of tiramisu in the box is all the proof you need.They also gave my son dough to play with to keep him occupied. Incredible service.Kid-friendliness: They gave our son dough to play with which helped keep him calm and occupied while we ate!“
“Been eatin zio als for 3 years now (before this location) and I can tell you it’s some of the best pizza I’ve ever eaten and on top of that, the people who work their are some of the nicest and most genuine people, always smilin. Very refreshing environment. Everyone I’ve put onto this restaurant ends up only getting this from that point on. Thank you“
“This pizza is amazing! We were in town for a baseball tournament and decided to try something local. I highly recommend this! The service was great, greeted with smiles from employees, and the food was wonderful. Clean tables and even a play area for little kids!“
“First time at this restaurant and had a great experience!Jay was our waiter and was friendly, attentive, funny, and fun. He’s amazingThe food was always great! They have soo Many options on their menu also. Jay gave great recommendations.Definitely tied for my favorite Italian restaurant right now!“
“We enjoyed the pizzas and appreciated the good service. Crusts were very good and had a good crunch without being too bready. We really enjoyed the pizza sauce and the calzones was awesome! The gluten free crust was pretty good also. Toppings were overall solid and tasted fresh. We'd recommend a visit!Vegetarian options: Veggie pizzas availableParking: Large lotKid-friendliness: Kids still love pizza and nuggies, right?“
“Visited on a whim with friends, we WERE NOT disappointed. The layout of the place is confined, and not the best. But that didn't matter with the pizzas we ate. I and 4 other friends enjoyed pepperoni, alfredo, and New Yorker pizzas. We had the meatballs and croissant mozzarella sticks. Alright... so the pizza... it's no joke. It's some of the best I've had in a while. The server (possibly owner?) Described the 48-hour double rising process for their dough. You could taste the quality. Aromatic, crispy, and airy, in just the right way. The sauce that was used was perfect in composition ingredients wise. The alfredo sauce was some of the highest quality I've encountered. It tasted like it was made only a few hours ago. I had a delicious imported sparkling lemonade drink. Overall, it was a slamming dinner. we WILL return. Our rambunctious group was handled with patience and understanding. I am pleased!“
“Great small local spot. Some more common traditional dishes and slightly harder to find varieties.Strong recommend on the tortellini cremaMeatball appetizer also very solid. Have had three times now.Default marinera sauce is a little simplistic. If you order eggplant parm or chicken parm, may want to find a way to spice it up.“
“After some confusion regarding curbside I eventually went inside to pickup the order my son placed online (totally miscommunication on our part). Although it had been sitting for a few minutes and I live a good 10 min away it is pretty freakin amazing! I’ve never had Chicago deep dish before and it’s so tasty and perfectly cooked! Thank you Rosati’s for being awesome!Dietary restrictions: Gluten friendly“
“Ordered this for delivery and it was great. Mom and pop pizza places tend to be a hit and miss for me, but this was actually really good and the mini cannolis were some of the best I’ve ever had. It’s a very unassuming spot, but the pizza was top notch. I recommend if you’re looking for a good alternative to the common chain pizzerias.“
“Best pizza ? in Allen TX. The owner always gives back to the community and especially scholarships to the kids at Boyd Elementary School. He donates food to the low income apartments at Chapparrel every Thanksgiving. Definitely support this establishment. He's a giver indeed.“
“Delicious food! Didn’t give the 5th star because more pasta could’ve definitely been included in the chicken parm dish. For dessert, the Tiramisu was great and I should’ve bought two!PLEASE include more pasta in the chicken parm dish!!“
“First off the atmosphere in the restaurant was fantastic. The service was amazing and the staff was super friendly. The food was off the chart though. I had the ravioli with the basil cream sauce and it was quite possibly the best I've ever had. Next time I'm in town I will be coming back!“
“We had ordered several super-large pizza pies for our office luncheon. Apart from the pricing being more economical than other pizza places the flavor and taste was awesome. Felt like they had used fresh ingredients and pizzas were well made. The staff was blown away by the wonderful pizza-experience.“
“Best Italian food we've ever had.. Husband and I came back to Allen for our 13 years anniversary because this is where we got married. We'll we made the smart choice to stop in at Brio's DID NOT DISAPPOINT.. Our server Colton was amazing and so helpful he recommended our plate and boy was he spot on.. Mind you he was a super great server all together very sweet and super respectful. . Highly recommend ? will definitely be back...“
“The best. I used to live two blocks away. Now I drive an hour from Fort Worth for the best calamari in DFW -for real-, yummy pizza, great pasta. Do you know about these old fashioned neighborhood restaurants with generous portions, wonderful service and very reasonable prices?? This is it. So happy they have not become a franchise. I am afraid one day they just might. Just too good. Thanks guys.“
“There’s a reason this place has so many great reviews! The food is phenomenal. The service is friendly and they were so kind during our waiting/ordering process. We sat at the bar while waiting for our to go to be red and the sweet red wine that I asked for was delicious! The spaghetti with meat sauce was great without being overly oily like some places can be. The Greek salad has arugula which is CRISP, not wilted at all! The bread is soft with a slight crunch on the top perfect for using to scoop up the bits of meat sauce. My kiddo is who is very particular about her spaghetti LOVED this place! We can’t wait to try more of the menu! We ordered a kids portion meal and it may have been an adult size plate. You get your moneys worth here and it is so flavorful!“

“Fresh ingredients, friendly service, and tastes great - what pizza is supposed to taste like! I agree with other reviewers: if you've lived in McKinney awhile and been disappointed with the pizza options, try this place! Better than the rest!“
“Walking into "Villa Vinci" on Ballard Ave in the heart of historic downtown Wylie feels like stepping into a well-kept secret. This small trattoria exudes an unpretentious atmosphere that is immediately welcoming, embodying the essence of casual Italian dining. The ambiance, with its aging tables and straightforward setting, might not scream luxury, but it whispers home, comfort, and authenticity.The staff at "Villa Vinci" are at the heart of the experience. Our waiter, Yaya, was a standout, proving that service can make or break a dining adventure. Though his Kurmanji might be better than his Italian, his service was fluent in the universal language of hospitality. Yaya's attentiveness and genuine warmth added a personal touch to our meal, making us feel welcome and part of the family."Villa Vinci" serves up dishes that would make any Italian grandmother proud. I had the eggplant parmigiana, a dish that, in its simplicity, requires a deft hand to perfect. It was sublime; each bite was a harmonious blend of rich sauce, impeccably prepared eggplant, layered over flawlessly cooked spaghetti, all beneath a veil of sumptuously melted cheese that whisked me away to Italy. We left with full stomachs and warm hearts, unanimously agreeing that the experience was delightful.“
“Pretty good, local pizza spot that also carries specialty sandwiches. Our crew had the carnivore(9/10), the all meats(9/10),pepperoni(8.5/10), winds(8/10)and gyros(9/10). Very local pizza with their own recipes, that sets them apart from franchises! Good Eats!“
“So great! The food was awesome and the staff was even better. We were a large group eating and playing games, and our waiter was amazing. At the end of the evening, he watched us finish our game, and showed genuine interest in what we were playing. I have already told friends we need to go back to eat, wonderful food and amazing service!“

“We just moved to Allen, and looking for great pizza near me, Google recommended Cheesy Sensation. We really liked the two pies we ordered: Extravaganza Pizza Feast and Philly Cheese Steak Feast. Both were excellent, with a ton of toppings and extra cheese. The dough was fluffy and crisp. We’ll come back or order soon!“
“Did a Build Your Own, Arrived pretty late and still got perfect service by the chef. The pizza tasted amazing i did extra sauce, extra cheese, pepperoni and half mushroom. Total was approximately $24-25. It was so fresh and one of the best tasting pizza's I've had in the Mckinney/Frisco Area. Will definitely come back! Ask for “
“Texas Hockey is the most fun at the McKinney rink all because of 19 Degrees! The staff is always amazing and accommodating. Cannot recommend this place enough!! Great food and adult beverages.. it’s the perfect place to hang out before and after hockey games.“
“My fav little hole-in-the-wall italian restaurant! I’ve been going here for about 10 years and their food is incredible. Their service is also AMAZING and hospitality is INCREDIBLE! A cute, intimate setting. 10/10 recommend the Lobster Raviolis, Spinach Artichoke Dip, Baked Ziti, Vodka Pasta, Lasagna, Chicken Noodle Soup and their Vodka Pasta. Everything is amazing. I never leave disappointed.“
“It was my first time visiting here. The people there were very welcoming. I tried their pepperoni pizza and a calzone. Since it was my first time there, they gave me a free cinnamon dessert pizza on the house! That was very, very good. It reminded of the cinnamon sticks that Domino's used to have.“
“Went tonight at 6:30 it was soo good. I love the crust and the salad bar was great. Our little family will be back again for sure. Lots of fresh different pizzas kept coming out lots to try. Quality buffet pizza for a nice price you can't beat.“
“Let me just start by saying, wow! Our night at was simply amazing, all thanks to Tina, our incredible server. We rolled in with a big crew of 20 hungry folks, and Tina made sure every single one of us felt like VIPs.Not only did she handle our large group like a pro, but she did it with such warmth and genuine care. It felt like we were being taken care of by a friend rather than just a server. Tina anticipated our needs before we even knew we had them – from refilling drinks to bringing extra napkins, she was on top of it all.And let's talk about the food! It was like a flavor explosion in every bite. Fresh, tasty, and cooked to perfection. Whether you're a meat lover, veggie enthusiast, or somewhere in between, there's something on the menu for everyone. Plus, the portions were hearty, leaving no one at our table hungry.Oh, and did I mention the porch? What a gem! It's spacious enough for a big group like ours, and the atmosphere was just perfect for a laid-back evening with friends and family.When it was time to settle up, Tina made sure everything was split correctly, taking the hassle out of bill-paying. Her attention to detail was truly impressive.Overall, our experience was one for the books. If you're craving delicious food served with a side of top-notch service, do yourself a favor and pay Tina and the team a visit. You won't regret it! We'll definitely be back for more soon.“
“My daughter and i came in this past Sunday 3/4/24... Celebrating my daughter's birthday. Our server Ashley was absolutely amazing! His service was perfect, he never made me feel like were we rushed. his timing was impeccable! He didnt over check up on us nor left us unattended for long periods of time. The service industry has been failing rapidly-- But Not Here!! He even informed me of the BJ's app so that i could take advantage of a free poozookie.Thank you once again Ashley! You did a phenomenal job and i really enjoyed our experience with you! You are greatness!“
“Will fill in details later but the pizza is good. Their overall score is well deserved...Ok returning to update with supporting details as to why I gave this place 5 Stars.Tiny place but dine in is available. Yes, the food is good, but there were service issues. Number one, the place was a mad house, which is a good thing. Means they're doing something right if you have a line to the door.Now it's an even better thing when you have staff members that although under pressure, still conduct themselves in a professional manner. The young man that was taking orders at the front. I would say it was anywhere from age 18 to 20 somewhere around there. He did seem a little overwhelmed, but he kept his composure. He didn't seem annoyed irritated or bothered. There was another young lady there of what appeared to be Southern Asian descent. Which this place (I would assume because you can see the kitchen staff is of Southern Asian descent) must be owned by someone of Southern Asian descent. I was suprised by this as it was my first time seeing a pizza place ran by this ethnic group, but they know what they're doing. It was good! Anyway apparently there was an order mixup or something that required clarification. She came from the back and approached the young man and they talked it out with no issue. He then turned to me and with me being a new customer, I had many questions. That alone can be quite annoying to some restaurant workers especially when there is a line. He patiently answered and put in my order. Now in the midst of waiting on my order(I chose to eat in so i was at a table seated) I got an important phone call and it required me drive somewhere... about 10 minutes away. I went up to the front and asked how long the wait would be and told the young man I needed to make a run and would be back. He said it was fine. Maybe I shouldn't have left my order number on the table then because when I returned my friends small pizza was on the table already. So that was a bit bothersome that they didn't hold the order back until I returned. When i got to the table grumbling about it sitting, the customer sitting nearby assured me it had barely been sitting 5 min and no one had approached it at all. So that was good. I went up to check on my food and was told 2 more minutes. Well it arrived but was undercooked. I got the calzone and the middle was not done all the way. You could visibly see the cheese as not all melted and you could see part of the dough was raw. I returned to the front and requested a refund because I had somewhere to be. I had no time to let them remake it and have time to eat it. This was supposed to be an eat and run kind of stop. She was professional and there was no issue, she just said to give her a minute. She came over and showed me that my purchase amount had been adjusted and apologized. As I'm preparing to leave I remembered I had ordered a dessert that was never brought out. I approached again and asked about that assuming it was forgotten and she said no it would be out in another 2-3 minutes. I asked her to make it go then and she did. Now on to the food. My friend that was with me shared a slice of their 10 inch pizza. It was good. The dessert I got is what they call their "messy marshmallow bread" It's simply a smores pizza and whoever made it forgot the graham crackers but it was still decent. Now because I really wanted the calzone I literally returned the next afternoon and ordered it again since i had time for them to remake it this time if need be.This time it was cooked to perfection and was so good. One thing to note, this is not a true calzone. For those of us used to Italian owned restaurants, calzones typically have meat cheese and ricotta... no sauce in them... this doesn't have ricotta. That was a let down. So this is technically a Stromboli not a calzone. AnywayI definitely recommend this place.“
“Excellent customer service. Small family owned and operated. Delicious italian dishes. Pizza is top notch. Made with quality ingredients and care. Try the Brazilian options! We drive over an hour to eat Marinara Pizza when we're craving pizza.“
“A travel from Houston like a good pizza and chicken wings, but I really didn't care for the boneless tikka masala wings. Bone in the wings was great. As for the pizza, we had a large half chicken tandoori, which was 5/5 n half malai chicken and that was 3.5/5. I'm glad we are getting this location in the Houston area soon.“
“Surprisingly, really good authentic Chicago deep dish pizza!This restaurant does not have indoor seating. They have 1 patio table out front. Good for pick-up order/take out.I would recommend ordering ahead because the pizza will take about 20 minutes to bake! They make it fresh to order.“
“Great food, great service, great atmosphere! We love Italian Villa! The stuffed shells are my favorite! Their bread is so fluffy and yummy. Their house dressing might be the best around! It's so, so good!! The pizza is amazing. I haven't had anything from Italian Villa that I haven't liked ?♀️ BYOB, I believe, but they do have some wines on hand, as well. It's a fantastic, family owned, Italian restaurant! ❤️“
“Family had lunch here to celebrate my granddaughter's 12th birthday. The food was very good, I had Dama Bianca, chicken with sauteed mushrooms, gluten free pasta and Alfredo sauce. It was absolutely delicious! We had an assortment of appetizers that were very good. My whole family enjoyed their meals. The atmosphere is typical Italian restaurant, nothing remarkable. Our waitress was rather quiet but very efficient. The only thing I didn't like was the cannoli, rather than having a nice blend of sweetened ricotta cheese it was more of a gooey over sweet sticky cream of some sort. Having had the real things in Italy it was a bit of a disappointment. Americans put too much sugar in their sweets anyway.“
“Got catering from here 3 times, staff is super nice as are the owners. The food has been excellent every time. We have gotten the baked ziti, penne Alfredo, pizza, salad, and garlic bread rolls. Everyone loves their salad dressing.! at our last party. All our guests kept asking where the food was from, everyone loved it.!Vegetarian options: They are very accommodating for dietary restrictions and making items on the menu vegetarian to fit our needs“
“The pizza is amazing and a large cheese with no additional toppings is $14 which is a steal to almost every other pizza joint in DFW. While I am not a fan of pizza crust at most places, Mellow Mushroom has the best and it has pleasant flavor and chewiness to it. The only thing I think they could improve on is service. We’ve had the same waitress twice and both times, my boyfriend and I noticed she never once came back after getting our orders. We have to flag other wait staff to get the check and refills. We’re not very big on service and care more about the food so it’s not that big of a deal. I would just take into account that if you’re on a tight schedule, it could take 30 minutes to get your check after you finish eating.“
“A hidden gem, the pizza is tasty, but the meatball stromboli is life changing. It's crispy and gooey, but surprisingly not heavy at all. The antipasto salad is great side, it's chopped so easy to eat. The lunch specials are a fantastic deal.“
“I would have given it 5 stars, but I can't because the scanner for my rewards doesn't work. Instead, I had to scan the barcode, but my phone, which is an iPhone 11, albeit it's temporary, is kinda stubborn, so I had to type the code, I got it wrong 1st try, but I got it eventually. This is bad because deals, offers, and rewards won't work. After all, you have to scan the QR code for it to work. Otherwise, its food was good!“
“My daughter and I just love Mr. Gatti's!!! So glad to have one close again. It's so delicious and well priced, but last night was a particular treat as I went to order and saw I had both a $5 birthday coupon and a $5 loyalty coupon and our favorite pizza came out to be free! What a nice surprise! My daughter prefers pineapple, but I love the pepperoni there, so we do half and half and it's just perfect for the 2 of us. No pictures cause we always finish half the pizza in the car on the way home! Haha. Seriously it's the best and thanks Gatti's on Coit for making our day.“
“A lovely fast casual Italian restaurant in West McKinney. Been there many times and never have had a bad experience. Recommended the Zucchini Fries, stuffed Mushrooms, and Chicken pasta dishes. My friends love the pizza and Stromboli, as well as the customizable pasta bowls.“
“Mr. Gatti’s takes me back to my childhood. I’m so lucky to have a location nearby and regret not having visited sooner. The thin crust pepperoni with jalapeños is amazingggg. ? And you cannot leave without grabbing a side of their famous ranch. Delicious! I briefly met the owner and he’s a very nice man and makes the pizzas himself. He is also very aware that the Gatti’s ranch is top tier, lol. ? We will definitely return! ?“
“First time here and let me say service was amazing our server Caden was just amazing friendly and professional. He made the visit worth it ! The food we tried the cheese bread and it was so good I recommend their white ketchup aka ranch made it better ! I got a the Bronx and my daughter got pizza we both tried the wings and just wow ! Highly recommend this place go try it out !“
“One of the very finest pizzas I’ve ever had, the pizza dough is unbelievably good. Very thick and chewy crust that has an unforgettable taste. Their s’mores dessert pizza was delicious too, will go back for sure. If you enjoy higher end pizza, absolutely check this place out.“
“"Exceptional pizza experience! The crust is perfectly crispy, toppings are fresh, and the blend of flavors is mouthwatering. Prompt service and a cozy atmosphere make this pizza shop a must-visit. I can't recommend it enough for anyone craving delicious, Brooklyn pizza!"“
“Excellent service at Pie 314 Everyday Eatery. The food was extraordinary delicious. We ordered seasonal bruschetta and wings as starter. Their margherita pizza was full of mozzarella and tomato. We were almost full after the pizza, but the Chicken Parmesan was tremendous with red sauce and capellini. We had a wonderful time as a team gathering.“
