    a red paper plate and a bottle of water

    Every time I come to Lexington I have to have this pizza!! Today I got the plant base pepperoni cauliflower crust pizza. Only on one size but it was still very filling. Half of the pizza was plant base pepperoni. Lots of it too. Very tasting full of lot of favor. Will order it again. Since Louisville don't Donatos Pizza I took a medium half cheese and half plant base pepperoni home. Don't know how it will reheat. But we will find out.

    The front desk staff at our hotel recommended Donato's to us. It was a short walk from the hotel. The staff at Donato's was friendly and our pizza was ready quickly. We ordered a plain cheese pizza and it was surprisingly flavorful for "just a plain cheese pizza"!! I'm not sure if it was the sauce or the cheese, but there was a slight smoky flavor to the pizza. It was, also, cut into smaller squares/strips instead of the typical triangles..."Chicago style". I am not often in Lexington, but I would definitely go back to Donato's!!

    If you like thin pizza that packs a lot of flavor, this is a good option.

    After a long day at work, when the last thing you want to do is go home and prepare a meal for the kids, this is a really good option. I like simple pizza. I try and keep the toppings to a minimum. A good cheese pizza is often all I want, and they have a thin crust with extra cheese that is quite tasty. I also like to eat at the restaurant. I've never really liked ordering take out for home eating. If I'm going to pay someone else to make my food, why not avoid the mess at home as well? So I appreciate the tables at this Donato's. It is a tiny area; one might say cramped, but it does the job. It's nice and quiet enough that every time I've been in there, there is at least one person eating a pizza and reading a book. Additionally, the decor inside lends itself to a little Christmas cheer during the holiday season, as it is bright and red and festive. My kids like it here as well, and that is one of the main reasons I like coming. I hear people say the pizza is a little pricey. I don't deny that, but it is better quality in my opinion than a lot of the "two pizzas for $10" places. You ain't gonna get that deal here, but what you will get is really good pizza with a pleasant atmosphere.

    Fantastic pizza, great service. Loved everything about this experience! I could eat here three times a week; wish I lived closer.

    The veggie pizza was perfectly cooked and the thin crust was crisp and delicious. No skimping on toppings.

I tried a…read morecouple of their individual slices, the seasonal meat pizza with corn, poblano, country ham, and blueberry relish, plus a classic pepperoni slice, and their breadstick. Every single bite was incredible. I love that they use a sourdough dough. The crust was so flavorful and perfectly chewy with an amazing crispy bottom. The breadstick was absolutely to die for, especially with the garlic butter. This is hands down the best Detroit style pizza I've had. You can tell how much creativity and care goes into everything they make. The owner is incredibly talented, and this place deserves so much more recognition. They also have a cozy indoor and outdoor seating area and a few free parking spots on the side, which makes visiting even easier. If you love pizza, you need to give Rise Up Pizza a try!

They didn't have a big variety on their menu but they only had 1 person working. I went with the pepperoni slice with a breadstick. I was surprised how cheap it was. My total only came out to be $6.00. The food was goo. The crust was thick and there were a lot of pepperonis on it. It was disappointed in the lack of cheese on the pizza. It was practically nonexistent. There was some sprinkled parmesan and that's about it. Luckily there were a lot of seasonings on the pizza so it wasn't a deal breaker. Overall my friend and I enjoyed the food and will be happy to try Rise Up again

Started with an old-fashioned and an unsweet tea. Drink was good overall. We shared a Caesar salad to start. Half of the lettuce pieces were brown. Lettuce was yellowed more than green. Meh. I ordered the rigatoni with spicy marinara, meatball and sausage. The portion was insanely large - two sausages and two meatball, plus a platter of pasta. This was good - but again too much. Meatballs were good, sausage was good. For dessert I ordered the chocolate mousse which was okay.

It was everything you would expect a nice dining experience. The menu was extensive with lots of modern takes on Italian favorites. There is a good wine list with sufficient number of options for any wine taste and also a specialty cocktail list. We started out with fried calamari and a specialty caprese salad with heirloom tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, and a variety of meats and olives. They were all delicious and fresh. For dinner I had the Fagottini Sinatra which was to die for. The combination of the pasta, cheeses, apple bites, and cream sauce enhanced all the flavors and produced a combination which I would HIGHLY recommend. Note that the prices are $30-$50 a meal but you get what you would expect from a nice restaurant. I will definitely be back on a future visit to Lexington.
