I really wanted pizza for my birthday so we decided to try Italian Express and it did not disappoint!! We got the Veggie Alfredo and Meat Eater pizzas and my family loved them! Luckily we live a few miles away and they were able to deliver them, too. Great service and great pizzas! read more

Loyal customer for 7 years and like always I love this place so much please stay open forever!! I always come back for their delicious, cheesy, piping hot pizza. Never have I ever been disappointed. Staff are always friendly and fast. read more

Delicious NY style pizza, and very friendly service! One of the very few places in the are with a chicken parmigiana sandwich. We didn't even know it was in the neighborhood! Will be back! read more

Good, casual place. Italian favorites at a reasonable price, with nice service and a wide variety of choices. Had a great takeout experience. Will definitely return! read more

To the health department out there, this staff is cooking serving the food without masks and gloves on right now. But I REALLY wanted to support a local business, which means I SHOULD have gone to Roma D'Italia on El Camino. Ordered a pepperoni pizza. The teenage kid behind the plastic shield didn't hear me when I asked, "So how the pizza here?" I went to clean my car and waited less than 15 mins for my order. The older gentleman asked if I needed any peppers or parm. I simply asked for a bag for my drinks. I wanted to have a friendly conversation with whom I assume was the owner when I said, "I've never tried the pizza here befo..." He interrupted with an insincere, "Thank you. have a good night." And he turned his back on me. To the employees there, your boss is probably a real dick. I'm sorry you have to work there. One star for the food getting fast. One star that its bland and just fills me up. Pizza was meh. Flavorless bread and cheese. Half the pizza missing pepperoni. Teach that old guy some manners and remind him its going to be a tough year for restaurants. I feel like that guy who Yelped on South Park. read more

Italian Express - Pepperoni missing on half this pie. Owners kind of an ass. Go to Roma D'Italia instead. - Italian Near Me - Tustin, California

I was craving Italian today and wanted to try some place different. I drive by Italian Express all the time and thought I'd give them a try. I think one of the owners took my order. He was nice, but his wife is nicer. She seemed to know all the regular customers that were coming in. I ordered the meatball sandwich off the lunch menu. This came with a drink and a visit to the salad bar. This is a good deal for about $10 with tax. I feel the meatballs​ were lacking some seasoning but I would order them again. I'll just add parmesan cheese. This place has been here forever. It's in a small strip mall with limited parking. I wish I would have tried them years sooner. I plan on returning next time for a jumbo pizza. read more

Best in the area for what it is. Have been getting delivery for 10 years. Great pizza (I would order bigger size so you get the real pizza). Lasagna great. Seafood pasta great. If you're expecting great mozzarella sticks or classic bread accoutrements, it's not them. Great place. Best delivery in area. read more

We had a last minute order for our college soccer team. Their staff was super helpful and willing to work with us! We got large pasta platters and the girls love it for a pregame meal read more

I dislike writing poor reviews but I had to... This is strictly based on the food because I ordered to go so I did not interact with the staff at all. I ordered a classic spaghetti and meatballs with a side of sausage and garlic bread. I have to admit that besides the sausage that had minimal flavor everything else was very bland. The pasta was cooked perfectly but there was no flavor to anything else. It really is Express, my order was ready very quickly but besides that I don't consider myself ordering to-go again. read more

I have seen the restaurant because it's by my dentist, but this the first time eating here. The meatball are excellent. And the Greek salad. Very nice staff too. read more

I can't believe I have not written a review. This is my favorite pizza place. The cheese and ingredients they use are super fresh. My son loves their mushroom and sausage pizza. The location is great. Of course, the owners are the kindest people. This is a true "mom and pop" place. read more

Dang it all...I decided to try this place again, and I'm still disappointed. The sauce... please, please, please change it up. It's still so bad. It tastes watered down and still no spices. The sausage rolls come in pairs now and not as good as the originals. The sausage rolls tasted undercooked, and I wasn't able to finish one. I had the eggplant Parmigiano, and it was fine 7/10. It's the sauce you guys. Otherwise, I'd give it a lot better rating. I had no issue with delivery. The driver actually called to verify the address, which I appreciate so much since I've had deliveries to a completely different house. Maybe I'll try again in another year read more

We catered pizza and antipasto salad for my granddaughter's "That's Amore" bridal shower and we're very pleased with the food, price and service!! Pizza was delivered piping hot, the antipasto fresh, and attractively presented. Everything was delicious. read more

I am a vegetarian and my Absolute Favorite pizza in Orange County has bèen Italian Express's White Knight Pizza for the past 20 years. I can't pass by there without getting a pie, and their prices are great. I actually had a homeless woman come up to me today while I was eating my favorite. 9 Times out of 10 I would have given her a slice but I have been super struggling myself and I stood my ground like a dog with a bone. I had been looking forward to this for so long and I wanted to savor every last minute of it. read more

We love the pizza here Always being accommodating to our flavors Service I always great even when we do take out read more

Their fettuccine Alfredo is the best! I first tried it at my sons school - where they sponsored the PTO at Pioneer Middle School but I've been told they won't be doing that in the future. read more

I LOVE their pizza. Its quickly become one of my favorite pizza spots around. They have great wings as well-they aren't fatty at all. :)

My favorite pasta dish here is the pesto chicken! Chefs kiss! My kids love it here as well!

Was across the street and found this place with decent ratings. Venue - Clean place with a good size seating area. Service - The service is great it looks like a family owned business with nice people. Cost - Regular prices compared to the avg. Spot like this. Parking - No issues parking found parking right in front. Food - My reason for the 3 star rating is because the food lacked of flavor, other than that the portions was good and looked authentic, but just needed more flavor. Overall its not a bad place, but would keep my options open. read more

The food came hot and yummy. They have the tasty pizza and wings. I ever had. It's cooking from the old country xoxo so good. I know you will enjoy it too.! read more

Ordered two pizzas for delivery one pepperoni and the other a veggie pizza. The pepperoni was very good the crust was cooked a little longer for that dough to be crunchy. The veggie pizza was also very delicious. Definitely one of the better pizza places to order. The only thing I need to address is the cheese doesn't stick too well, but the flavors make up for it. If you guys can get that stringy cheese pull to happen. This will be "the pizza spot" for my family. read more

By far the most tasteless food I've ever had, and I was stoned when I ate it. Nothing that I ordered (BBQ Delight, Mozzarella Sticks, side sausage) had any flavor. It was all so incredibly bland. It's like the chefs had never heard of spices! I'm not even mad at them, I'm just incredibly disappointed because... damn. How do you fuck up a pizza that bad? read more

Sadly, I would love to give a better review because the food is quite good and reasonably priced. However, the last two times we ordered takeout, we were greeted by a maskless owner. What's worse is that he argued with my husband when told to put a mask on. NOT WORTH THE RISK. read more

Our family has tried this place twice. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The first time we got the pastrami and an Italian sandwiches, Alfredo and wings. The pastrami was fantastic. Not sure why but my daughter ended up throwing up the Alfredo. I thought it was a fluke and we tried this place again. The second time we got a meatball and a pastrami sandwich and a personal pizza. I took two bites of the meatball sandwich and was not excited to eat the rest of it (lucky me, I split it with my husband). I took two bites of the pastrami and in the second bite I bit down on something hard, I thought it was a bone. So I spit it out and it was a metal pin. It was similar to the picture I attached but without the chains. So I gathered up all the food and went to return it because at this point no one wanted to eat it. When I went in, I was told that it wasn't theirs. That they had never seen it before and that it was too clean to be in the pastrami (really?), while they did give me a refund I was appalled that they would say it wasn't theirs... where else would it come from? Why would I bring in all the food except two bites of each sandwich? I have them two stars because despite the issues, the pastrami sandwich had potential. read more

We've ordered fettuccine w/meat sauce and meatballs , fettuccini Alfredo - delicious ! Great customer service . We'll continue coming here

Pasta was dry, chicken wings looked good but there was little to no flavor, which is really too bad. The salad was the only redeeming dish unfortunately. read more

Good product and reasonable cost. This is not anyone's "Nona" or "mama" cooking. Is a practical good take on just utility Italian American food. The place is clean, the orders are done timely and if you are expecting something else that's on you. I usually get a good bottle of reasonably price TJ's wine and order something and it's a good night. Way better than frozen anything and not looking to get hand crafted pasta or true Italian style meatballs. It's just a good meal for a good price and i will come back. read more

Pizza is good. Italian entrees are basic, similar to cafeteria style food. Salads are the worst I've had. McDonald's put their ranch dressing to shame. It's just cheap and horrible. The Italian dressing tastes like watered down cheap crap and the lettuce itself, turns brown within hours. Always end up throwing away. If you want a decently priced pizza, they're great, but outside of pizza, just not worth your money. read more

My favorite place for pasta and pizza. Price is reasonable and food is delicious. For pasta, I recommend Chicken Pesto and Chicken Masala, and for pizza, Garlic Chicken and Hawaiian Delight are my favorites. During COVID, staff are wearing masks and they have installed transparent partitions at the counter. Take-out is very easy and fast! read more

Pizza was great. Perfect for a quick fix on a Friday night. Garlic knots was mega buttery and garlicky. Zucchini was perfect! read more

I doubt I will come back to Italian Express. I came in during the COVID-19 epidemic. I wanted to support this local business. They installed some plastic sheeting between the customer area and the kitchen, but no one working there was wearing masks. Wearing a mask to protect your customers' health is a sign that you care for your customers. Sorry. You guys lost me. read more

As I preface most of my yelp reviews, it is a combination of value and quality. I have lived near Italian Express for nearly 30 years and during that time it has been run by the same husband and wife. The food is great and the service is better. You can get better tasting Italian food at North Italia but it will cost you 4 times as much. I go almost weekly. read more

This restaurant is amazing! I usually submit my lunch order on yelp, the food is ready in the time listed, and they always great me when I walk in, the food tastes great, is always piping hot and they give you huge portions even for lunch. I highly recommend giving it a try! read more

Italian Express is a hidden gem in Tustin. Unlike other reviews, we found their food to be quite tasty. The thing is: you need to set the correct expectation of food quality for price point. Too many times, I find that reviewers will compare a $10 pasta dish at a place like this to a $30 pasta dish at a fancy, sit down restaurant. I knocked off a star because I received the wrong item on my order, but the wrong item tasted pretty good too so I wasn't too upset over it. In terms of food quality, there was some small things left to be desired but overall nothing worth mentioning. Some stand out dishes were: The Spinach Ravioli - my wife was obsessed with this. It tasted like it was cooked with a cheesy vodka sauce that tied the dish together. The Fried Zucchini - Yes, I know its a simple dish but have you ever got fried zucchini that was soggy on the inside so when you take a bite out of a piece of it, the entire crust comes flying off and slaps you right in the chin? Not here. The batter was crispy and stayed on the zucchini during consumption. I will definitely come back soon! read more

Oh my gosh!!! My first time ever coming here and I will definitely come back. I'm really picky with my pasta but the baked ziti was amazing. My boyfriend and I also got mozzarella sticks, the mild wings, garlic bread and Hawaiian pizza. Everything was fresh and hot and the servers were so so nice. I love it so much and I will definitely come back all the time. read more

I used Yelp take out to order and when I got there, the employees were so nice. The pepper flakes actually come in small plastic cups which was perfect because I love to add a lot of pepper flakes to my pasta. The size of a small soda is 24oz, with free refills I believe- that's such a plus! I ordered Alfredo fettuccine with chicken and extra mozzarella, it included a lot of garlic bread. I was full with a little bit left over, which makes me so happy. I was afraid I wouldn't get full. I will come back again!! It's a hidden Italian gem this place - and it's family owned read more
