    Dead bugs (crickets? cockroaches? who knows)

    We came into this experience hoping we would find an affordable caterer for our upcoming wedding. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone for a meal, and would certainly not want to trust them for a momentous occasion. My fiancé had used Italian Express as a caterer at his work pre-pandemic and remembered the food tasting great, being affordable for 300 people, and having no issues with delivery. We saw a catering menu on their website but it was dated 2018, so we wanted to go in to see if they had updated their offerings and grab lunch while we're there to see which dishes we may want to have. We walk in and are immediately hit with a gust of hot air; it's much hotter and more humid inside than outside, and it's in the mid-90s today. I walked up to the counter and asked to see a catering menu. The cashier looked really confused and grabbed a regular menu and looked at each page as if he had no idea if they catered or not (not a great sign), and then found the area that described their catering offerings. It was significantly more expensive than the posted catering prices online, but okay, I know it's been several years so I would expect the prices would go up. I'm still open to considering them at this point. We ordered a chicken fettuccine alfredo and ravioli and went to go wait in the car; even staying outside in the sun would have been more pleasant. We went back in and got our food and left. As soon as I opened the top to the alfredo dish, an off smell hit my nostrils; even my fiancé noticed immediately, and he doesn't have a great sense of smell. I was hesitant but wondering if it was just that they used an unexpected seasoning blend or something. I should not have given them the benefit of the doubt. I had a small taste of sauce and immediately recoiled. It tasted just like spoiled milk, and the sauce coated the entire dish, so it was completely inedible. I ended up returning and giving it back to them, asking for a refund. They were surprised and said they used milk that wasn't expired, but I know from personal experience that just because it hasn't passed the date, doesn't mean it hasn't gone off early for any number of reasons. I asked him to smell it but he said he wasn't able to smell right now because he had a cold...makes sense, because if he could have smelled the food he prepared, there's no way he would have sent it out the door. To add insult to injury, my fiancé snapped this pic of dead bugs in the entryway. They probably died of the heat (or that alfredo sauce). Ultimately, I'd say they earned the one star in my review because the ravioli was alright and they ended up refunding us for the alfredo. But this restaurant gave me enough reasons to not want to come here for a single meal again, let alone to give them $1,000+ worth of business for catering.

    a pizza in a pizza box

    This is a good place if you want to try different kind of pizza. I ordered a large pizza with half side of paneer tikka and half side of tandoori chicken. Both sides were delicious and the topping were in good quantity. Definitely visiting again.

    So I had heard this place sells chicken ticka pizza and I just had to try it out. I was already in the area so I was like why not? I should've called ahead and ordered but I wanted to see what other options they had available at their store. I got there and I realized it's not a place where you can sit and eat. You have to take your food to go. I believe they also deliver? So I decided to get the large chicken ticka pizza to go. It looked amazing so I was excited to try it out. Unfortunately when I did try it, it didn't meet my expectations. They added so many toppings that you can barley taste the chicken ticka favor. Also I don't get why they're were olives on it. That's such a weird combination. Maybe if it had less toppings and more of the ticka flavor it would have tasted better. I wonder if you can ask them to not add the toppings? But it's just average pizza. Nothing to fancy. And I don't think a large is worth $16. Just check out Pizza Hut if you're looking for average, decently priced pizza.

    Italian Express was referred by a friend as a great place to get Indian pizza. So we hit it. Its a takeout /delivery only place which is the only bad thing about this place as I love to have my pizzas fresh. The Tandoori Paneer tikka pizza and Garden Veggie Pizza are wonderful. Thing crust. Well done. Perfect balance of flavor. We've ordered large orders for parties too. Highly recommended!

    Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp
    Cecilia M.

    Staying in town at the Wingate by the airport for the night and wanted something to eat. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp which came with garlic cheese bread and a side salad. I'm very impressed with how quick everything showed up. Everything is hot and delicious. The Alfredo sauce tastes homemade. It was way worth the price. Yum!

    Not a lot to choose from From the wingate by Wyndham at Irving tx so I called for delivery And order 8 buffalo wings A small chicken Alfredo pizza And two bottles of water Total was 22.00 The DELIVERY came in 3MIN after I place the call Great timing. I was expecting them to take at least one hour. I Really really liked the pizza. The wings were just ok they weren't fried so not my favorite. But overall everything was really good. I gave it a 5 bc of their great customer service trough the phone and also the delivery guy.

    Paneer Tikka pizza
    Neha M.

    I've never been to the restaurant myself before, but I had it when it was delivered to a relative's house. I've been craving it since then! The Paneer Tikka pizza was fresh and a surprisingly well-made Indian and Italian fusion pizza. The sauce was tasty, and the paneer cubes were the perfect size. The crust was thin, but maybe could be a little more crispy. Though I cannot speak to the customer service or the restaurant, I do know that I want to have this pizza again!

    Italiano Supreme and Caeser Salad
    Rachel N.

    We got a menu on our door and since we haven't found any non-chain pizza places that deliver, we decided to give it a try. There were great coupons in the menu, so we ordered the family meal. An appetizer, large gourmet pizza, large Caesar salad and two desserts. Everything was delicious. The mozzarella sticks weren't very crispy, but that was probably from having them delivered. They were very tasty, though. The salad was very big, plenty for 3-4 people. The desserts were good, we got the NY and Turtle cheesecakes. But, the pizza was the star of night. We chose the Italiano Supreme. It. Was. Awesome. The perfect amount of sauce, cheese, and toppings. And the crust was really, really tasty. Within the first few bites, this quickly became our favorite new place. And after reading the other reviews, we can't wait to order again, and try something new!

Just 1 mile south of Belt Line is New York Pizza Pasta & Subs, and before you think this is just another quick-serve pizza place, you need to give this place a try. Yes, they do serve pizza-by-the-slice at lunchtime for those that want a quick lunch, but they are much, much more. Perusing the menu, you'll find a large selection of Italian favorites such as Parmigiana, Chicken Piccata, Fettuccine Alfredo, and Penne Arrabbiata. Several Salads, Seafood Dishes like Linguini & Clams and Shrimp & Mussels Fra Diavolo, and of course, fine desserts such as Cannoli, Spumoni, Creme Brulee and, my favorite, Tiramisu! They also have a kids menu, as well as Gluten-Free Pizza and Pasta. There's a full bar, including many specialty drinks to pair nicely with whatever meal you choose. The service is excellent, and the restaurant is clean and comfortable, with indoor and covered outdoor seating, and the pricing is affordable. This is definitely a go-to for a nice Italian meal.

The restaurant has an open dining layout perfect for big group of diners and families with kids. They also have a small bar area perfect for patrons wanting to unwind while.

Fortunately, our group of 20 had made reservations prior to our visit. After looking over the menu, we chose the "RonI One." It had pepperoni, bacon marmalade, tomato sauce and house made Mozzarella. Sounds yummy! I was also intrigued with their speciality cocktail menu. They had me at the "Limoncello Margarita." What's not to love about.Limoncello? John T, our server, took excellent care of our group. After a short wait, salad, pies, and pasta started arriving at our table. Our Roni One was a wonderful mix of sweet and spicy. What a great pie! We'll definitely have to check out one of our local Cane Rosso's in the future.

    Food was excellent; drinks were excellent. We ate at the one that was in Deep Ellum (not sure if…read moreit's still there) a few years ago. I remembered the pizza was great. We ate at the Carrollton location last night because it was halfway between our house and my cousin's and his wife's house. Doubt we will purposely return to Carrollton anytime soon. I'm giving a rating of three because the food was a five and the service was a one. I actually don't write reviews very often, and I don't think I've done one in the last two years. But the guy who waited on us was rushing us out before we even got our drinks. We ordered our drinks, and he said, "it's going to take a while because the bar is backed up." (suggestion: That's not a great opening line.) "Do you want to go ahead and order your food?" (To which we said no.) He seemed put out from the get-go. Finally, I had to tell him directly, "We're not in a rush, even though you are." He's probably late 20s, dark hair, a beard, and overall a really poor performer. If he doesn't like his job, he should go do something else, though I doubt he's qualified to do much other than be on welfare. We bought four entrées, an appetizer, and two rounds of drinks. We probably would've bought more but for this really poor waiter. This is a good restaurant with very good food and a good concept. You (owner/manager) need to take much more care on the people side. It's hard to hire good talent these days but you need to do better than this. Good luck. But you need to realize there are way too many choices out there. And, if anything, this review is quite generous.

Out of 25+ pizza spots, MisterO1's was our top contender, so we had to run it back! The sections here are endless. You can add and remove toppings, get any regular pizza star shaped, and even do 1/2 and 1/2 pizzas! We started with a ceasar salad- they are HUGE. You could definitely split with 4-5 people. We got 2 pizzas: 1/2 Mimmo, 1/2 Matteo 2.0 And 1/2 Star Luca, 1/2 Star Beckham Both were absolutely delicious. Mimmo was our favorite, but I would highly recommend the others as well! Star Beckham reminded me of a sub sandwich- YUM And lastly, we ended the meal with the Nutella & Banana Calzone.. Let me just say GET IT!

The high quality EVOO that was served with it was very fruity and delectable. We had the classic pepperoni pizza, a 1/2- 1/2 Federico and Meat Lovers 2.0, and a Maria. All three were very good. I like a little more sauce on mine with a bit more "tang" to it, but it was still good. Crust on all were that perfect crispy that would hold up to just holding it from the end crust. 1.5 Stars Overall: Good pizza, and next time we will try the "Extraordinary" pizzas which have ricotta stuffed in them. 4.5 Stars
