    Interior dining with arcade games

    Had an excellent family lunch at this restaurant. I was not expecting such a large restaurant from the outside. The arcade was the cherry on the top! My favorite part, surprisingly, was not the pizza, even though it was really good. It was the SALAD! We ordered the large dinner salad and it was one of the best salads I've ever had! The large could probably feed 6 people if you are ordering pizza as well. The person taking our order was very patient with my 15 questions. I am a ranch expert, and the ranch was delicious. We also ordered a large cheese pizza. It was quite good, but the salad was the star for our lunch. Would highly recommend trying this place out, especially the large dinner salad.

    Arrived here at 5pm for a hockey team dinner with about 5 families. Some had already ordered ahead of us and we ordered after. There were no other customers there but there were alot of carry out delivery orders. We ordered a large combination "Green River" pizza and a small Caesar salad. Took about 15 minutes for the salad to come out and 53 minutes for the pizza. The salad was good though there were some lettuce pieces that were not fresh that I had to pick out. The salad came with 2 small Caesar dressing containers. Pretty flavorful but on the saltier side. Needed alot of water after. The pizza is pretty thick and cheesey. Very fulfilling but so much cheese and toppings that it just fell off the slice. Good pizza with a crispy crunch. Definitely a family friendly restaurant with lots of games to play and tickets to win to trade in for prizes. At around 545pm, the restaurant picked up and got busy with a line of customers waiting to order. Not sure if I want to return next time as that's a long wait for a pizza. Service is average as we weren't checked on and tables weren't cleaned.

    This was only my second visit here... and I'm glad to have waited to give a proper review. I was introduced to this pizza place because I go to Physical Therapy that's a couple doors down. My PT had bought us a pizza one Friday as I was one of the last patients for the day. I took a slice and ate it in my car. It was really good compared to the regular Pizza Hut or Dominos. I said to myself, I'll definitely go back for a full pie soon. This review is solely for the most recent visit today and for the level of service I received, or lack thereof. The first visit was awesome! The owner James introduced himself and took care of me. I told him it was my first time visiting and I'm coming from 20 minutes away in Chino Hills. All in all, customer service and experience was great! Excellent pizza! This second visit didn't go as well as the first. I ordered 2 white pizzas with pepperoni and bacon; one large and one medium. 20 minute wait I guess is average for two pies. But when I was finally called that my pizzas were ready, I advised the guy helping me that the pizza was for two different places. I bought one for me, and one for my PT as a thank you. I asked for two bags for condiments, 4 ranch in each bag with cheese and peppers. The guy said he could only give me 2. I told him the last time I was there, I only ordered one medium pizza and the owner gave me 4. He said he was the manager, his name is Robert and that he couldn't do that. It was against the rules. What?! I said fine, don't want to argue, please give me 2 ranch for each pizza. He said no. He could only give me 2 ranch in total. That was the rules. Robert then proceeded to let me know that if I had paid for each pizza separate, then he would've been able to give me 2 ranch each. Wth?! And he said it with that snark look that reads.. this is the bottom line and there's nothing you can say or do about it. So you're telling me if I ordered 10 pizzas on one check, I'm only getting 2 ranch? I'm actually saving the company money ordering in one check as each credit card swipe would cost them % of transaction plus base fee. I can't believe this is coming from the 'supposed' manager. Let me tell you, if Robert was managing my family's restaurant, I'd definitely have him retrained immediately. Or maybe I'd just get a new manager before my business runs down. There's no pizza out there that tastes so delicious that would offset the horrible customer service. Such a big turn off, especially for a mom and pop joint. Maybe he doesn't know, but having great customer service in a successful restaurant is just as important as having great tasting food. If you decide to come, make it easy on yourself and ask for the owner James. I'm sure he'll provide you the same excellent customer service he gave me. All front facing employees should have his same level of customer service, especially the 'manager'.

    Came here after our hike....clearly starving I didn't get a picture of the full pizza Ordered the Green River pizza, and it was sooo good. They were generous on the cheese and toppings! We orderes the XL that came with 12 slices and it was perfect for 4 adults! Sooo worth every penny!

    We ended up at Big Al's Pizza for a lunch/birthday celebration. We ended up trying different kinds of pizzas, wings, and fountain drinks. I tried the Pepperoni and meat pizza, and the bell pepper and onion pizza. Our kids had the pepperoni pizza and the pepperoni and ham pizza. I also tried the buffalo wings. The pizzas were delicious, they were soft and very cheesy. The buffalo is saucy and cooked well. It was moist and juicy inside. I love the set up of the restaurant. You order up front and then find a table, but they also have little arcades inside so you can play before/after you eat, and our little ones were enjoying their time there. I wished the paw patrol game weren't out of order, we'll try again next time. They also have a candy crane game, which is a hit with toddlers. They have 2 coin dispensers to exchange your money for tokens, and if you get tickets after you play, feed that into the ticket counter, and then go up to the front to see what kind of price(s) you can get with your tickets. Overall we all had a great time, both adults and kids. The food was good, our company was good, and of course if the kids eat and are happy, we're happy. I'd definitely come back again! The staff we encountered were friendly and accommodating.

    We went Friday night and yes it was busy but Gioia greeted us and said we could sit at the bar to…read moreeat and drink. This was perfect for us as we were just hungry from not eating since earlier in the day and we just wanted to unwind since we had gone to Glen Ivy for a well deserved soak. First off, I really didn't appreciate the person who was a regular who posted non sensical and petty things about this place. If you have ever been served at a true Italian moms and pops place ...you know things take time as it's made from "scratch". That said...nothing we had that night took too much time to make IMHO. An important thing to note was I was apprehensive to order since I am a Celiac until Gioia told me they had Gluten free pasta for anything except the ravioli and gnocchi. I was ecstatic honestly. Anyhow I did end up with the Chilean sea bass with pasta in a creamy sauce. It was definitely made with parmesan. The pasta itself was al dente (well made and not overdone). My husband had the chicken marsala and was very happy. He wanted me to try it but I told him I couldn't since it had flour (Gioia told me they could always accommodate the marsala for me if I wanted it in the future). That's precious. I thanked her for that. Btw I forgot to mention that they have a QR code for the menu so get ready to try and open that up. We had difficulty only with that though and we had help from a neighboring woman who sent it to my husband's phone. She was a regular and really nice person who had finished eating and was just enjoying a drink with her husband. All in all it was a good night and we got to also chat with two elderly ladies who also were regulars and really kids too. We got to see the owner come out since it was someone's in birthday and it made me laugh to see him with a candle on his head and bringing out the cake for the birthday fellow. I thought that was unique and absolutely adorable. Just know that we highly recommend this Tuscan cuisine and it's made by them personally. They also have a great prep group you get to see in front too. For a busy night I also noticed their one toilet was clean. I am reviewing more here as I wish to let people know the details. Oh and they have a great Chianti and cappuccino too. Our dessert was their cheesecake and that was with blueberry and with amaretto in it. It was so good and even my husband tried some. Yes it was gluten free ...Gioia also checked that before getting it for me. She said they also have almond cookies too and next time I am gonna have to try that. I don't usually go crazy for dessert but this was so tasty and I kind of knew it would be since it's genuinely made with love back there by the owners. I think this family is amazing. Give them a try and don't go if you want to be served in and out like it was fast food. That's not Italian way. I grew up eating Italian foods as I was born there as well as my parents were Croatian and there is a lot of Italian influence over there. It's why when I see food made like this that I know it's right. Thanks for the great night!

    Con Amore used to be our favorite restaurant. It felt like a little piece of Italy and somewhere we…read moretruly loved going. Sadly, after our last visit, we will not be back. Things had already been slipping lately with slow service, burnt food, and even being served a different pasta than what was ordered without being told. We kept giving it grace because the staff had always been kind and it felt like home. This last visit changed that. After appetizers, I went to order my usual pasta with sausage and was told they were out. No one mentioned this earlier. Because I am allergic to dairy, I asked the server to check what options I could have that were dairy free but still included protein. He returned and told me I could have it with cream sauce. At that point, it was clear my allergy wasn't understood, so I asked to speak to a manager. I was told the manager was too busy and it would be a long wait despite the restaurant only having about four or five tables occupied. That response felt incredibly dismissive. I then asked if I could have chicken instead since it was on the menu. Eventually another server came out and said they could put chicken on the side. When I asked if it could simply be added to the pasta so I could eat it together, he told me no and even said there was no point in asking Alfredo because the answer would be no. After years of loyalty, I was sitting there being offered cream despite clearly stating I have a dairy allergy, with no protein option offered even though steak, chicken, and salmon are all on the menu. We asked for the check and left without a meal. Con Amore used to feel like home. Sadly, it no longer does.
