The food I called to complain abt ended up being the best part abt this experience. I called to let them know the pepperoni and sausage calzone they had made only had a few pieces of pepperoni in it and that the flavor seemed off for some reason, and that the salad upon opening 10 minutes into the drive back home had soaking wet lettuce- all I was truly looking for was the calzone to be remade with more pepperoni. Upon calling, I spoke with the owner, Caesar, and was told that if I did not like his food, I did not have to eat it. He then started going on a rant about how hard it was to be a small business owner and said "the customer is not always right I know how I make my food and I'm not going to change how I make it just for one person" I was then told I could have my food remade or I could get my refund if I came back into the restaurant today. After that interaction on the phone, I will not be returning, to what? Get chewed out again in person? There is no reason to be that aggressive with people who are spending their money on your food, and it would probably get you a lot further along as a small business owner to be nice to customers so that they have good word of mouth to spread and want to come back. Don't work with the public if you can't handle public opinions :) read more

This is the best Italian in OKC!!! Food was absolutely amazing. Rich flavor, flaky homemade bread is worth the trip alone.

Fast, friendly takeout! Absolutely amazing chicken piccata! It wasn't the most traditional, but it was better in every way. It was savory, light, refreshing and addictive. The garlic bread served with it was excellent too! This made excellent left overs for lunch and I want it again for dinner. Better and cheaper than any other Italian place in the area! Go try it out! read more

Authentic, delicious, fresh, & gooey!!! Yummmmm Isac knows his way around the kitchen!! read more

Delicious - generous portions, good prices, friendly service. Forgot to get food pics. Stromboli and calzone were both excellent - reminded me of our favorite Italian spot in NY. read more

SO GOOD, SO COZY, SO AFFORDABLE I walked into the restaurant after some time ordering on DD. The place is so charming! It gives very mom and pop restaurant. I ordered the Primavera which consisted of fettuccine noodles with a creamy red sauce tossed with fresh veggies, peppers and olives. The sauce was flavorful and light and the veggies were not mushy. I was the only person in there at the moment however the service was very personable and fast! I'll see you soon Italia Express! read more

Drove all the way from downtown OKC to try this place & im glad I did!! I ordered the chicken fettuccine and it was soooo yummy! The service was quick and friendly as well! The value for what you get here is top tier.. the best of all, it tasted homemade in the best way :) read more

Lousy food. Grumpy smart-ass man at the counter. Don't bother with this place. I will never be back.

Don't let the outside appearance fool you...I was presently surprised by this little Italian spot. The food was affordable and delicious! My only complaint is I had to wait a bit to order my food and the place wasn't busy! One of the patrons who knew the owner had to get him from the back of the kitchen to take my order. Once I placed it, it didn't take too long. Look out for the lunch specials which includes a salad. read more

Quick service, lots of options to choose from (including their daily specials), and sooooo good! I wanted to snap a pic of the chicken parmesan and fettuccine alfredo we got, but we couldn't help but dig in. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Got two slices of pizza here and I wish we liked this place a bit better! The pizza by the slice is cheese pizza that's already been made before, topped with a topping of your choice and then a tiny sprinkle of cheese. Pros is that the slices are huge, and the price wasn't too bad! But the bread was a little tough given the pizza was just reheated. Maybe pasta is the winner here though? Seems like most of the reviews here rave mostly about the pastas so we might come back since it's so close. If you're going for the pizza, I'd just go with the whole pizzas. I think those are made fresh and might be better! read more

The food was great. We did not get everything we ordered in our pickup order, but the food that wasn't missing was perfect.

I used delivery hot things were hot, cold things (salad) was chilled. Wonderful taste and portion size. Will definitely be ordering again.

I really loved the customer service! My boyfriend accidentally spilled a drink and it was cleaned quickly and I could smell bleach so they cleaned and sanitized. The food is amazing; it was hot delightful and also I just loved the chicken. When you pull a piece of the bread away it's layered and fluffy. It was something I've never had before but I'm dying to try the pizza. read more

Pasta and sauce are really good! The bread is soft and very tasty also! We really enjoy the food and are looking forward to going back again! read more

This place is SO good. We get our family take-out from here nowadays about once a week. We will do spaghetti, tortellini, pizza, appetizers, desserts.. no matter what it is ALWAYS good. More people need to know about this place... such a hidden gem and a part of our family at this point! read more

I had their chicken Alfredo and it was ABSOLUTELY the best I have ever eaten!! The serving size was more than adequate for the price also. I would highly recommend this place. The only thing I didn't like about it was it was like sitting in a freezer. The outside side temp was 57° and that was warm compared to the 47° inside the restaurant. read more

Very odd experience here. We had been on a pasta/tiramisu kick and were trying to give our business to smaller, family owned places during the pandemic. The owner actually got angry at us for purchasing Tiramisu from him. We were going out of our way to spend more and buy food we didn't enjoy as much only to be complained about to our face. Johnny Carino's family meals are half off all week- the food is much better and is actually cheaper. The tiramisu is double the size at Carino's (and double the price to be fair, but half off in a family pack) and much better. I am sorry ItaliaExpress... we really tried. After reading other reviews, I can see that this is a trend. The owner seems to be rude to returning customers on a pretty regular basis. You are in the wrong industry if you can't treat people that are your source of income with a little bit of curtesy. I know I am definitely not going to beg someone to take my money for food I don't really enjoy very much. read more

Finally found good pizza in OKC! Being from the north east, I've been on the hunt for good pizza for years. Gave this place a try tonight and I'm so pleased! Great quality and even better prices. Highly recommend them. read more

I ordered a small pizza it was just ok. I asked for Parmesan and received a few pinches of Parmesan in a small container. I then asked for marinara sauce and was told it cost $1 and "I can't give you everything for free". Um, ok...... So, I paid for the sauce and received a very small container of sauce. I've ordered other things in the past there that were just mediocre. There's another pizza spot up the street so I'll probably just go there from now on. read more

This place is in my top 5 pizza places in OKC! Great service and the pizza is amazing!! Always fresh, hot, and toppings PILED on!

I really wanted to like this place. I ordered online on came into to pick up my food. The service was very friendly and nice. I asked the cashier what their story was and he told me that this is a family business that has been going on for years. It started as his uncle's restaurant and then him and his dad took over about 9 years ago. I ordered some pasta and a slice of pepperoni pizza. The pizza is NY style pizza and it would pass for most NY pizza carts/stands but like NY pizza in general (IMO) it's ok, but if NY pizza is your thing you should ccome try it. The pizza is sold both by the slice and as a full pie. So you could come in and just try a slice. The pasta itself wasn't bad but it wasn't great. It just didn't the kick or flavors and was pretty bland. Would I eat it again? The pasta probably not but I could see myself coming and grabbing a slice of pizza. read more

I've lived in this area since 2008 and I've seen this restaurant since FOREVER. I can't believe I just now tried tonight. The fettuccini w/ shrimp was so good!

I ordered curbside pickup through their app and left a nice tip and when i got there, they told me its too hot to bring my food to me and that i need to come inside when im sick and have pets in the car. I dont even care if the food was somewhat decent, they were so incredibly rude that i would never go back. read more

I'm from Brooklyn and this is the closest to New York style pizza that we've found in Oklahoma. We live about 25 minutes from Italia, but we make the drive every time we're craving pizza to get our fix. Great people here and even better food. Plus, the prices are more than reasonable. We get a massive pizza here for $13.01 (tax included). Highly recommend this place! read more

Just had pizza and pasta for the 1st time and WOW. My husband and I are impressed to say the least. I'm a new Yorker and I have struggled to find pizza in Oklahoma that I really like and the pizza was by far the best pizza I have had in Oklahoma read more

My favorite thin crust Italian style pizza in Oklahoma! Delicious, and well priced. Good customer service as well.

We've been eating at Italia Express for many years. I am from the east coast and this is TRUE Neapolitan style pizza. Their calzones are TRUE NY style, with RICOTTA cheese as they should be!!! Their pasta dishes are TRUE homemade pasta dishes. I'm sure that the bad reviews on here are from people who are born and raised in OKC and have never been away from OK. For those people I say, "Go back to Mazzios for your "calzone ring". Whatever TF that is, and dip it in ranch . You don't know what fresh Italian food tastes like. If you think their sauce tastes "watery", it's because they make their sauces from scratch, not Prego out of a jar with a bunch of paste to make it thick. You want Italia Express sauce thicker, add some fresh grated Parmesan cheese that they offer. This place is a true gem to the city. I saw a post that said they were under new owners last year. I'm not sure about that because it's still the same people working there since day 1 but I will ask tomorrow because now I want a 16" sausage pizza and a pepperoni and sausage calzone. Eat here folks! Support local businesses. But if you don't like it- go back to Mazzios read more

I was craving some fettuccini Alfredo from scratch and most restaurants had already closed. I decided to try out italia express and it blew my expectations away. The food was nice and HOT. Everything tasted homemade from scratch taste. I tried the shrimp fettuccine and stuffed mushrooms. The sauce of each were delicious. I added some of the mushroom sauce to my Alfredo, the flavors were explosive! I am not a big garlic bread fan but after trying the complimentary bread, I finished every bite. The bread had lots of flavors, the bread texture was light and fluffy. WAY better than olive garden breadsticks for sure. I definitely recommend this place. I will be back to try more! read more

Their pizzas are huge and NY style! My in laws ordered two pizzas and breadsticks it was enough to last the four of us two meals!! Their delivery time is on point and the flavor is delightful. If you're a garlic love you'll enjoy this place. While their delivery time isn't as quick as papa John's or closer places i feel as if the quality here is more authentic. The crust is amazing and the cheese is oh so goey. read more

This is the best pizza place in Oklahoma.. got a chance to meet the owner mr. Caesar.. homemade sauces really set the tone

I really don't know what people are talking about on here because I love this place!! The food is delicious! I get spaghetti and a chicken Cesar salad and it's always great, the bread is freshly made. If you are big on esthetics just order to go. Simple. read more

The food was a bit overpriced for what you get. The pasta I got was nothing but sauce basically, and a soupy sauce at that. The bread was burnt. But the staff was nice. read more

The food is great! One of my favorites is the tomato & spinach calzone, but I've also had their pizza and several different pastas and loved them all. This has to be one of the cleanest restaurants in OKC! It appears to be family owned and operated....we should all support local, small businesses and this one is well deserving! read more

It's as close to NY pizza as I've found in this area of town. The extra large pizza is huge slices & the sauce & toppings are good. It's a nice change of pace IMO from all the chain pizza places around. read more

Do not let the exterior deter you! Do not let the interior deter you! This little 'pizza shop' looking restaurant has five star dining food! This is the best Italian food I've had in 30 years! The marinara sauce is so good, I could have licked the plate! (Next time take out so i can) Had the cannelloni which was fresh, tender, and amazing. Husband had the tortellini ala pana at the recommendation of a friend. He definitely recommended perfectly. Even got one to take home to daughter cause otherwise she might not believe us how good it was. The bread was light and fluffy on the inside and buttery crusty on the outside. perfect! Already planning our return visit! read more
