Pizza Train Wreck

I came in shortly before 4:00 PM. I hadn't eaten anything all day yet so I was very hungry. On the menu it didn't specify different sizes so I confirmed with the waitress. She said they only have one size, 12 inches. If you get a 12" cheese pizza it costs $18.50. I wanted pepperoni so that was an additional $2.99. I thought this is really overpriced but I was hungry so I just decided to go with it. A bit later the pizza came out. I couldn't believe what I saw. This pizza looked like a train wreck. It came out with pizza sauce on top of the cheese on some parts of the pizza. This looked more like abstract art than pizza. Not only that, this was the sloppiest looking pizza I had ever seen. I can't believe that somebody would make something like this and have it presented to someone. I would be really embarrassed if I made something that came out looking like that. What was the purpose of this extra sauce on top of the cheese? That was a first. That's not how it's supposed to be. After a while, I wondered, "could it be that the additional pizza sauce was covering up something?" So, I scraped away some of it and I noticed shredded mozzarella cheese not fully cooked hiding underneath all of that sauce. Nothing like cutting corners and giving your own customers overpriced crap-food just to make things easier for yourself huh? See the picture of the slice. I just don't understand how somebody could cook something like that, have it served to their customers and not be embarrassed by it. The crust wasn't good either. You can tell just by looking at it. In terms of quality, this pizza is one step above a $hit sandwich. How can you screw up a pizza? Maybe this guy isn't cut out to be a pizza maker or maybe it's simply above his pay grade. I should have read all these reviews before I tried this place. I don't know this place manages to stay in business. I spent $27.42 for a 12" pepperoni pizza and 1 Dr. Pepper.

To the right is the carbonara to the left or the onions I removed

I had the spaghetti carbonara, they cut whole onions with bacon. I just got back from Italy. Did I say anymore? The garlic bread thumbs down Caesar salad was so basic wasn't worth it Services OK, not great waiting for refill 10 minutes . [[HIGHLIGHT]]We're sitting outside. It's pretty cold so the places nice but chilly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Good sized bar, full service, TV's (NHL Playoffs were on) Staff were great. Side note, whomever was in charge of the playlist knew his or her assignment- well done. Very much an old Italian restaurant feel. Staff was extremely nice and attentive. And heads up the meal will arrive quickly. So do what we did. Order a drink and an appetizer then main course when ready. Portions are very generous. We had ample leftovers- see the pictures- for dinner tomorrow when we get back home.and the pricing were reasonable. The bread is crispy, fresh and warm. So to the food. All the portions are large. Calamari as an appetizer- ohhhh So good. Very light and crispy, not dense or big clumps of calamari. Sauce was spot on. Slight pepper taste to it. They had a special tonight- ossobuco (pork shank) tomato sauce and gnocchi which the mrs had- and so did four others near us. The pork was so tender and fell off the bone, very very good. I was highly encouraged to have the chicken parm. Not sure how the hell they found a chicken that big for the portion I received. Outstanding. Lightly breaded, juicy, very nice sauce and goobs of cheesy goodness.. how any human could eat this in one sitting is beyond me. We have amble leftovers for tomorrow. Mrs got cannolis to go. Pizza made on the spot.. we will be back and this spot is highly recommended.. I found the prices reasonable and better than other offerings in the area. They close at 9 so keep that in mind..

While not positioned as organic, the food reflects authentic Italian execution.

Desserts are made in-house and well executed. The flourless cake, in particular, is rich without being heavy.

The Greek salad and Margherita pizza is our go to, but we have had their cheesesteak subs, lasagna, and their various assortments of desserts. Ripieno's special-brew chai iced tea is something else that has always kept us coming back. That is until today. While the pizza and salad were still very good, they weren't as outstanding as they have been in the past. Customer service is not the same as it once was. When we ordered the chai tea, this evening, no orange and lemon slices were offered. As we were dining outside, I walked in to ask if they had orange and lemon slices for the iced-tea available. The cashier first seemed as though he didn't see me, and then when i caught his attention and asked about the slices of orange and lemon for the tea, he looked at me as if he didn't not know what I was talking about. I looked at the girl behind the counter that walked over with the salad dressing that had not been delivered with our salads and asked her about the fruit. She looked confused as well and said they didn't have any. The iced-tea on its own is very good, but the slices of orange and lemon really make it great! Back to the food...when our pizza was brought to the table, the gentleman that delivered it, (I think he may have been attending the wood-fire oven) threw our paper plates on the table. Next came the Greek salads. We were short two sets of silverware which was noticed by the second server. She said she would return with silverware, but didn't. So, I went back inside and asked for the two sets of silverware we needed. I was asked if I wanted plastic. I responded that I would prefer metal silverware. The girl disappeared and returned several minutes later with the silverware. I realize it is the busy season, but the restaurant was not busy. We've been during the busy season and in the off season and have always had wonderful experiences. I am truly hoping that this was a one-time thing, and that Ripieno's will return to the same familiar place we used to love to go.

At the time, we had just eaten dinner at a nearby fancy restaurant that was underwhelming. Last night, we finally made it in. As other reviewers have pointed out, parking is limited but got a spot as our reservation was at 4:45pm. In other restaurants, at times I would observe other servers being better than ours. However last night, I felt we had the best server. Olya was very good care of us and was really friendly. As for dinner, whenever my wife and I go to Italian restaurants, we tend to split items. We got the Insalata di Cesare ($15), Margherita pizza ($18), and Polpette ($14) which are 3 meatballs mixed with beef and pork. We ended dinner by splitting the cheesecake ($12) that included chocolate chips and a small cannoli on top. The only minor change I'd recommend is to change the croutons in the salad as they were really hard. Otherwise, everything else was absolutely fantastic!

Whole family really enjoyed everything at this charming restaurant! Service was outstanding!

The coastal breeze, familiar scents in the air - it was the perfect atmosphere. Arose from the sun-bleached afternoon, only to realize the Pasta Cheese Wheel place closed at like 8 or 9 pm. Luckily, it was only about a 12-minute walk from my hotel room. Bliss Bliss... The cheese was so thick, warm, and gooey; the staff was informative, and even 15 minutes before closing after a long hot day at the beach, they were willing to indulge an enthusiastic patron. I asked it the sausage was rustic... she showed me a pan and said... this is the sausage - the sausage is good.... It was a great experience. I ordered the chicken for my protein and fettuccine for my pasta; my daughter and I watched as they swirled the freshly made pasta in a giant cheese wheel. Full experience - and I enjoyed every minute. Also - they do not skimp on the size. It was gigantic. The bowl was huge. But also so super delicious- I couldn't put it down. Just kept eating and eating until it was completed. Must try.

Overall would definitely come back!
