Came with friends to try their pizza and it didn't disappoint. Some of the tastiest pizza I've had since leaving Brooklyn, NY. The service was very good too and it was an enjoyable place to share a meal and some conversation. The fried artichokes were a bit disappointing. Not that I've had it before, but I thought something other than butter to dip them in would make them better? Not a lot of flavor. But a lovely place and a great pizza! read more

I ordered chicken wings and got hot chicken strips. They quit selling the wings that were on the menu that I ordered. Which is totally fine-what wasn't fine was the waitress telling me how she has been here 8 months and they havent had wings and made me feel bad about not wanting those particular "wings" so my husband said he would just eat them. Take it off menu if u dont have it and waitresses are going to argue about how long they have or haven't had them. Kinda put a damper on my whole dinner experience there. read more

My husband has been talking about this place since I met him. And, we finally made the drive to Washington. He split a pepperoni pizza with a friend. I ordered the Pasta con Pesce which is shrimp, clams, crab and a tomato sauce over linguini. I am very impressed with this dish coming from a pizza place. It was so good. We also got fried artichoke hearts for an appetizer. Wasn't as impressed with those as they were overly breaded. The waitress prints hot rolls to the table while you wait. Service was great and our waitress kept our drinks filled full. We will be back next time we are nearby! read more

The best pasta I've had in Washington Missouri. A wide variety of wines to pair with your food. Their pizza is wonderful

I ordered an 19" pizza with black olives and fresh mushrooms. Not only were the mushrooms canned, the pizza came burned on the bottom. I emailed Aldos and was told I should have called, I should have brought the pizza back to have it remade (Really? Who wants to go out again after a long day?), and was given a 10% off my next pizza. I sent a picture of the burned crust and never received a return reply. Disappointed. read more

I just gave a horrible review for the "Pasta House" but not ALDO's as I rate it highly as the pasta is always cooked well, the seasoning great, and the service over the top excellent. The salad is great and getting warm delicious rolls was a huge plus above most Italian restaurants I've been to in Missouri. Outside of Olive Garden due to its consistency and salad - Aldo's is the best "Pasta House" !!! I come from spending a lot of dinners with Italian families and going to Italian restaurants on the East Coast and Aldo's comes the closest to flavor and well-cooked meals I'm used to on the East coast. read more

GREAT pizza. Maybe the best I've ever had. Had hand tossed crust, but it came out kinda like thin crust, and very crispy. Excellent. Toppings were great. Even the salad we started with was exceptional. Can't think of anything I'd change. read more

Great pizza, and toasted ravioli were perfect! We had such wonderful service and the ambiance of the restaurant was beyond comfortable! read more

Amazing service from Shannon B today! Above and beyond and the super special salad was a 10/10. read more

Aldo's Pizza - Super Special Salad - Pizza Near Me - Washington, Missouri

Excellent food, service wonderful, clean and comfortable place to eat Parking is a little on the tough side read more

This place used to be very good but they keep cutting more and more corners. The salads used to be amazing but even though they have the greatest homemade Caesar dressing, they make their salad almost entirely with iceberg lettuce. Yucky, Chintzy and soggy. You can ask for a greens mix but they charge more just as they do if you want a slice of onion on that same salad. The restaurant is quaint and cozy. It's been in business for years, but years ago, it was definitely better. read more

Great food and great service. Pleasant and quaint atmosphere. Thanks for your hospitality

I just moved back to the area and I am sad to say I remember the pizza and chicken tenders being so much better when I was a kid growing up here. The food quality has gone down and seems less authentic from 20 years ago. But it IS still good... good enough. I love the location and the vibe though, and it brings back so many fond childhood memories read more

Aldo's pizzas is always amazing and has delicious pastas, and the services always great.

Absolutely wonderful Italian food. I moved away from Washington 30 years ago but every time I visit I make a plan to eat at Aldo's. Their pizza is excellent, the salads are generous and delicious and of course you can't come back to this area without getting toasted ravioli. Today my mom and I ordered the chicken Modega. Great dish. Fried chicken, lemon cream sauce with bacon and mushrooms. You can't go wrong read more

Aldo's is in a little strip mall. There are not a lot of parking spaces but there is easy parking along the road it is located on. I recommend the Super Special Salad, small, for a single diner. The House dressing is a nice vinaigrette which I order on the side. If you have the kitchen dress the salad you will occasionally get more dressing than I care to have. The Deluxe pizza is wonderful. The crust is what most of St Louis natives want, thin and a bit crispy. The toppings are liberally applied on a sauce and cheese base. The wait staff is young and attentive. Another small thing I like about Aldo's is the music. If 50s & 60s rock is what you like you will like eating here. In my case it often distracts me from conversation at the table. This is a great family place for reasonably priced food. read more

I hadn't been here in years. I just kind of ended up in Washington for lunch and remembered they have good pizza so I stopped in but I ended up not ordering pizza. I ordered the Daily Lunch Special. It was Tuesday so Tortellini with red sauce and a small salad for $5.74. How can they even serve something that cheap? I also got a small toasted ravioli. None of this food was made by the restaurant. It was all basic food supply items that were assembled. I ate a few bites of the salad, the 8-10 overcooked tortellini under the thick blanket of cheese and all of the toasted ravioli. Perhaps I should have ordered the pizza? read more

Five star very good Food very good service has a great reputation and Washington and the surrounding area five star rating

DINERS BEWARE: Found a screw in Aldo's pizza! As Washington natives, Aldo's has been a family favorite for Italian dining. We have had mostly good experiences so were happy to order pizzas for our Friday night in with our children and their grandparents. My mother was shocked to find a metal screw imbedded into her pizza crust (see photo attached) but luckily saw it before taking a bite. Obviously we were concerned with the possibility of another potential choking hazard, so we carefully examined all of the other food for hardware but found nothing. We called the restaurant, explained the situation and arranged to replace the pizza. Upon arriving at Aldo's we showed them the original pizza with the screw still wedged in the crust. The store manager, Tony Alu, then accused US of planting the screw in the pizza ourselves! He rudely insinuated that we purposefully put the screw there for a free pizza. Completely dumbfounded, we could not believe what we were hearing! NO - we did not put a screw in the pizza our children were eating No apology, no explanation, no response other than to defensively place blame. We didn't expect anything for free and did not plan on taking this any further than a simple pizza exchange until Mr. Alu exhibited one of the worst displays of customer service we have ever experienced. I don't know what was worse - the frightening possibility of myself or one of my small children ingesting the hardware or the way we were treated by Aldo's management. Surprisingly enough this is NOT the first time this has happened at Aldo's, another recent reviewer found a drill bit in her salad! We will not be back, I would strongly suggest thoroughly checking your food for dangerous hardware if dining here. read more

We came to Washington for the Labor Day weekend. We almost chose another pizza place as Aldo's didn't have reviews that were as good as a few of the other pizza places in the area. However, we were pleasantly surprised and would definitely eat here again. Complementary rolls were served warm and were really good. We ordered the house salad with house Italian dressing and it was delicious! Their pizza is brick oven style and the sauce is absolutely delicious. Toppings and cheese are generous without being over the top. Customer service is great and staff are all friendly and helpful. Everything was perfect. If you're looking for a tasty pizza place don't hesitate to eat here! read more

I write this review 3 years after a terrifying incident involving an Aldo's Caesar salad. Thanks to Facebook for reminding me. I meant to yelp this sooner. I had ordered a delivery to my house and while eating the salad with my 6 year old daughter I felt something very hard and heavy in my mouth. I thank god I didn't actually bite down on this as I am sure it would have done damage. And what if my daughter had gotten this?? Disgusted with what I spit out I immediately drove down to Aldo's to show them. I asked for the manager and he had the nerve to just say "it must have fallen from a shelf while preparing ". No apologies or even compensation. I was not surprised by this however. I worked at Aldo's as a 16 year old and knew even then that the moral compasses on those who own/manage this place are broken. I know Aldo's is a popular place to eat with family and I have many memories with my family here but this ruined it and I will absolutely never go back. Go here at your own risk. read more

Aldo's Pizza - Spit this out after taking a bite of a Caesar salad. Repulsive. - Pizza Near Me - Washington, Missouri

Good pizza for sure. Great crust and good toppings looking forward to eating there again when we go through.

I've been coming here since I was a kid; my grandmother's from Italy and is friends with the owners. It's one of those places that I crave a lot since I no longer live in Washington. The food has a lot of flavor (there's a lot of bland Italian food out there, but not here). My favorites are the super special salad, the pizza, the spinach artichoke dip, the linguine carbonara, the pesto, and the mostaciolli montanara. Also, if you're looking for cheap lunch, you CANNOT beat their lunch specials. You can get a lunch pasta or slice of pizza, small salad, and rolls for like $6 on weekdays. read more

Words can't explain how much we adore this fine establishment. My heart explodes every time my lover mentions taking me out to our favorite Italian eatery. The second I think of the chicken Modega my mouth starts to water and my knees get weak. This is truly a life altering experience. I hope to one day retire and live the rest of my days at the bar slurping down cannolis like 7 eleven slurpees. God Bless read more

Food was good, ambience horrible. There on a Sunday afternoon and hard Rock playing, way too loud.

I'm not a fan of the thin crust pizza. I prefer Walmart pizza over Aldo's. I used to love Aldo's super Special salad but the taste of the hard salami was like biting into lard. read more

Amazing pizza! I haven't stopped thinking about it since I ate it. Definitely the best food we ate in Memphis. I have never had meatballs on pizza and they were delicious!The crust was perfection too. I am a pizza connoisseur and this is hands down a very memorable, delicious pizza, that if I am ever back in Memphis it will be one of my first stops! read more

Aldo is a disciple of VITO LA FATA, St. Louis' PREMIERE pizza maker! If there were any justice, VITO LA FATA's pizza would define "St. Louis-style pizza" instead of the paper-thin, provolone-based Imo's Pizza chain. Vito started out in Gaslight Square in the 60s with Pino's. He taught the guy who runs "Pino's II" in downtown St. Louis. He taught his brother, Frank, original proprietor of "Pizza-A-Go-Go". He taught his ex-wife, who used to run a place called "Mama ____________'s" in Clayton. He taught his son, Vito, Jr., who runs "Vito's" near St. Louis U. And he taught "Washington, MO's own" Aldo. Of all of these, Aldo's comes closest to The Master, who has regrettably retired. I gladly drive 50 miles to get pizza from Aldo's. 'Nuff Said! read more

This was my first time visiting Aldo's and I can say that the food was fresh and tastefully prepared. Our group had pizza, sandwiches and a hot entree and everything was hot and tasty. Service was prompt and courteous. Had others in the group not been frequent patrons I might have passed up this restaurant as nothing more than a pizza joint. Much more. read more

We heard good things about this place. But we just got back and we just aren't convinced. Our waitress seemed unhappy and miserable to serve us. She wasn't rude or anything but we didn't care for the service. Asked for dinner rolls, waited longer than I wanted to for water, she liked standing by the front entrance most of the time. House salad didn't impress. Dinner rolls rocked. Waitress asked if we wanted butter. Primavera pizza was tasty but soggy in the middle and crispy on the outside. Maybe this is a 'style' and it's just not our type, maybe our waitress was having a bad day. Maybe we will try again some day. read more

Our absolute favorite restaurant! The pizza, the BURGERS, toasted ravioli, super special salad, spinach and artichoke- ALL the best from anywhere else. We haven't made it to the pasta because we love all of the above so much, we keep going back for those. read more

My favorite restaurant of all time. If you want the best pizza, stop here! Say 'hello' to Aldo and enjoy the food. This is the 'bar' when it comes to pizza. IMHO, It doesn't get better. read more

Aldo's Pizza - a man sitting at a table with a large pizza - Pizza Near Me - Washington, Missouri

Loved the lasagna, manicotti, and garlic rolls! This is our favorite restaurant in this area! Nice place!

Aldo's is another restaurant I have been to a few times while visiting my boyfriend's parents, who live out in the country near Washington. For the size of Washington, it is doing fairly well on restaurant offerings but on a scale of all the Washington restaurants, I would put Aldo is the lower/middle range...it is not bad by any means, but also doesn't stand out as being particularly great. The pastas I have had from here taste way too bland. The tomato sauce seems on the watery side and lacks any of the spices I look for when eating Italian food. I think a little bit of tomato paste, salt, and spices like some fresh (or even dried) basil and oregano could go a long way. I have also tried the meatball sub here, which was equally as flavorless as the pastas I have tried. The meatballs were cooked well and retained their juiciness but they were topped with the same watery, flavorless red sauce mentioned above. I have heard their pizza is supposed to be pretty good, so if I find myself at Aldo's again I will give that a try and hope for more flavor! read more

I reluctantly had to make a visit to Wash Mo (sorry but I despise this town) to visit an old friend. Aldo's was the suggested dining destination for lunch. I ordered the ceasar salad and we split a sausage,pepperoni, mushroom pizza. Wow, I was blown away by the salad! Hands down one of the best ceasar salads I have ever had!! Nice and garlicky with that hint of anchovy. The pizza was just as good , Aldo's version is more of a new york style pizza which is a nice change from the run of the mill STL style provel peculiarities that I really do not care for. Can't speak for the pasta but the pizza and salad was far better than anything I have ever had on The Hill, STL,or Chicago! My only complaint is that it is in Wash Mo, open one up in STL and I would be one of their biggest patrons. read more

It's been a while since I've eaten at Aldo's, but someone I used to work with suggested we do lunch here, so away we go. I've always wanted to like Aldo's more than I actually do. Cataldo (Aldo) Alu opened this pizzeria in my hometown 40 years ago and he and his sons are still involved in the daily operations. Things have expanded since then, and the menu includes your typical Italian fare...pastas with rich sauces, lasagna, and sandwiches...they deliver and will cater your party too. But I have yet to eat here even once when I don't think afterward that I could have had something better without too much effort. Their food is just okay (hence the A-OK rating). Decor inside is just okay, and they've got their standard-issue Bing or Ol' Blue Eyes CD playing over the speakers. They have a small bar area that will get the job done. The servers are friendly enough. It's just the FOOD that's not the greatest, and unfortunately, that's the most important part. The first basket of bread we got was undercooked...I mean the rolls were still dough-colored and barely warm. But I'll eat pretty much anything that's put in front of me, so yeah. :P Second basket was better. My salad with house italian was limp and sad. And my lasagna lunch special was nothing to write home about...I'm pretty sure there were two kinds of noodles in it? Lasagna noodles and fettucine noodles too? Is that how they do it in Sicily? Weird. It's been a while since I've had the pizza, but every time I had it back in the day (Tuesday, if you're curious), the cheese would stick to the roof of my mouth so bad I needed a shovel to scrape it off. Long story short, I'd go back, but it wouldn't be because *I* wanted to. read more

Old world flavor. Delicious! Margherita pizza Caesar salad Cannoli are to die for! read more

I came here for the first time with a friend who highly recommended it. We ordered two appetizers, the spinach artichoke dip with pita and the parmesan chicken. The pita bread was delicious and melts in your mouth. The parmesan chicken was very tender and juicy. We ordered a large pizza with thin crust, shrimp, FRESH mushrooms, and garlic. They did an awesome job and was one of the best pizza places I've been to. The atmosphere was nice. We went on a Saturday night and it was packed. It was a family-friendly environment and would be a great place to take kids to. We sat in the bar area so we wouldn't have to wait for a seat. Overall, I had a great time and would come again. read more
