Nothing was good. The buffalo wings had no flavor and were tiny. Probably frozen. Bad. The pizza was not thin crust or well done as ordered and it also had no red sauce although it was not advertised as a white pizza. Too bad some sauce might have saved a disastrously bad pizza. The big Kahuna was a huge bust. Also they cut pizza in squares which should be warned. Who wants square slices? No one but they still keep trying to sell them. I will not return to this delivery disaster. read more

Best pizza hands down, i always order from here even though i moved and live 20min away now its worth the drive read more

Ordered online and stopped by 30 minutes later. Was pleased that my grinder was ready to go. The sandwich was large and delicious. Good value. The lady behind the counter was nice as well. The only thing keeping me from giving five stars is that the only drink option is a 2-liter soda. What's that all about? read more

I mean the pizza simply was not good. It was a 3.4 out of 10 on my One Bite review. Come on man... Weird sauce.. Tasted like chuckie cheese pizza. The dough was not crispy either. Maybe their grinders or calzones are decent, but that pizza was sub par. read more

Italian Friendly was recommended to me by a cop I was working with in town and since then I've enjoyed their grinders, calzones and pizza many times! Tonight I ordered a pizza for delivery and got the wrong one. I called back and told them what happened and they were awesome! 30 minutes later, which is incredible for a Saturday night, this place gets busy, the correct pizza was at my door. I tried to give the driver a tip because I figured it wasn't his fault but he respectfully declined. These things happen but what separates good and great businesses is this type of customer service! read more

Ordered the Caprese, New England Combo, and the Amherst pizzas. All pizzas were of good quality and very tasty. The ordering process via their website was straightforward, and the delivery was prompt, with the pizzas arriving hot. A reliable option for anyone in the mood for a good pizza. read more

A co worker ordered a grinder at 1245 . He left at 3 still no delivery. When he called a female said driver went and there was no one at the office. Except we have cameras and no one ever showed up. Female would not refund.Talk about bad customer service.. not the first issue with them either. Another time a pizza was ordered and it was delivered to the wrong address read more

Wow, what a shit show! Ordered a lot from them and food is ok. Ordered a grinder at 2:30 and at 4 I picked up the phone to get the response " order was never put in and if you have ever worked in a kitchen, I'd realize what it's like to be short handed". Nobody tells you what to choose as a profession, but I picked mine and I make sure I'm proficient at it. Sad....Called Paramount, on time and polite! read more

This place is amazing. Been ordering from here for many years. Got to know the owners very well. Pizza is the best. Calzones are amazing. Recommend 10/10 read more

They are the best value and have been around a long time. They help out local community events. Thank them for the great food items we love you read more

I don't understand the bad reviews of this place. I moved down the street a year ago and I've been maybe 4 or 5 times and the customer service has been completely pleasant. And their food is kick ass. It's a pizza place! For what they do it's quite good. I've ordered pizza, calzones, and grinders and I have no complaint. And their onion rings are amazing for that late night snack after a few beers. read more

This is the best pizza, calzone and wings place in Holyoke. I've tried every pizza/ Italian place here and this is the best. Their food is just awesome compared to everything near. I don't care that I have to drive much further to get to this place, it is so worth it. read more

Great Italian salad, pizza is awesome. I've never had anything here I didn't like. Service is hit or miss, but mostly hit.

The pizzas here are amazing ! I highly recommend them especially the specialty pizza. The grinders are great too . No complaints and always friendly staff. read more

Friendly does just what it says: good pizza, good grinders. Heck, even good garden salads, served big with olives, Greek style. Open until 10 PM, so it's a good choice. We've gotten late-night pasta here-- it was a large portion packaged in one of those big aluminum containers with a foil and paper cover, and the sauce was just a tad bit thin, but juicy and delicious, and easily sopped up with the bread. There's not really a seating area, and they're in an old bank branch building, so the delivery guys park in the old drive-through lane, and the ordering counter is just inside the entrance. In the summers it's very hot inside, but they'll get you your pizza nice and hot, and isn't that what really matters? The pizzas are a standard New England chewy crust pizza, good toppings. If you want baked pasta dishes go down the street to Dino's, and if you want seafood, go up the street to Schermerhorn's. But here? Classic pizza and grinders take-out and delivery, done right. Enjoy! read more

This is the greatest food especially for the prices!!! The portions are very generous.. and the service is amazing my whole crew eats here 2 to 3 times a week!!!! Never disappointed! read more

Whenever I have mediocre pizza, I always ask myself "Would I get this again?" and for Italian Friendly Pizza, the answer is "no". You have lots of choices out there when it comes to mediocre pizza, but sub-par ingredients (rubbery cheese, cheap pepperoni, a watery sauce that's overly sweet with visible black pepper in it), and unappreciative staff, in a fairly dirty and uninviting atmosphere, are the reasons why I rank this place as "wont be returning". read more

BEST PLACE EVER!!!!!! great service, friendly family and amazing pizza and grinders. They have soooooo many options when it comes to pizza and grinders!!! Love this place so much read more

Ordered their party size pizza for about 10 of us. Their pizza is ok. I would prefer a thicker crust personally. I tried their honey bqq wings. I really liked them actually. I'm usually not a fan of sweet wings but the sauce was very good. Great location and quick service. read more

Good pizza, creative ideas for pizzas and grinders. I like the size options. Pizza is always piping hot and generous on the toppings. Does the trick when ya want a quick convient meal for a busy day. read more

I've only had grinders from Italian Friendly but they're always delicious! I showed up too early for my order the other day and watched them make it - big delicious meatballs, fresh, tasty chicken tenders all go on a nice fresh roll with fresh veggies - and then they pop it in the pizza oven to toast it up. Delicious! A large grinder will feed you for at least two meals, guaranteed. Nice people too. read more

I've only had the pizza and it is below average at best. I ran a pizza shop and know how to make a great pizza. Italian Friendly does not. The dough is flimsy and other then the outside crust not crispy at all. The cheese is nothing special and their ingredients are cheap and tasteless. The worst part is the sauce. It is bland watery and just makes for a bad and sloppy pizza. Do yourself a favor buy a pizza stone and make your phone own it is easy, cheap, and unlike Italian Friendly it will taste great. read more

Home of one of the Biggest and best pizza in Holyoke with the largest size the gladiator which is bigger than their party size pizza they have tons of topping combinations like their zoro, dr. Feel good, the duke, or their italian job and many more you gotta try them all. All types of grinders like their raptor Wich includes roast beef, turkey, ham, and bacon and their diner grinder that has chicken tenders, onion rings, French fries, mozzarella sticks, and all that is then smothered in cheese sauce and topped with Cole slaw now that's a grinder that's just to name two of their many unique grinders like mama Mia, Montana, thunderbird, the roman and many more read more

This place is pretty good. I just moved from Chicago, so I have pretty high standards when it comes to pizza, lol, or so I like to think. In terms of the location, price, and taste, I'd say it's pretty good. Have ordered from here several times. Their grinders and sandwiches are really good too & huge! read more

Food is decent, not the best but not the worst. However, the workers are definitely not "Italian friendly". Maybe it was the case of the Monday's, but they were miserable. read more

I can't believe some of the reviews I've read on this place. I've been a customer of Italian friendly for years. I also manage a pizza restaurant. This is my second favorite Italian style pizza in the pioneer valley beat out only by family pizza in south Hadley. I would recommend and do recommend this pizza to everyone. The only thing I would say is I usually have to cook it a Lil longer in my oven once it's delivered but that's just my preference. I do that to almost every pizza I have delivered. I do think the pizza is far better than the grinders although there are some crazy ones with ordering just to say you did. Bottom line try it for yourself. I haven't met a person I've told to try it that has said they don't like it. read more

The pizza here is the best I western Massachusetts. This is a purely take-out spot with no room for sit-down customers. I've tried quite a few pizzas, but my favorite is the standard combination. They have the best crust- chewy and lightly salted. The only reason I gave this place 3 stars is because they're not so great at grinders. I recently ordered a tuna grinder and received bread filled with smelly, old tuna. The smell stayed with me for days because it was so strong. I lost my trust in them to make good quality food outside of pizzas. read more

This is great pizza at a great price. There hot grinders are also good but I would not order there wings again, the meat was dry and and sauce which was dripping off was not good. read more

Pretty decent food. Pizza is okay, only criticism is that they tend to use too much sauce.

The pizza was absolutely amazing! The people that work here are very friendly!!! Once again, the pizza was out of this world! Not only that, but it was huge! We ordered a large and it had about 24 slices. One of the people working there was actually FROM Italy! The only downside about this place is that there is nowhere to sit. Also, they only have soda for drinks inside. Fortunately, there is a Dollar General about 2 minutes walking distance away, where we got lemonade. It is hard to find if you aren't looking though, when you enter the parking lot, look to your right and you will see a red brick building that looks like it used to be a bank drive through. Park and enter! Finally, this place had 5 star pizza and would receive 5 stars overall if there was seating. read more

Most people have or are use to a " chinese take out " joint. This was certainly a take out joint as there were no tables, chairs, or anything for eating anywhere. Prices are so/so far as food. Size of " grinders, hogies, subs, or sandwiches" ( where ever your from I think thats all the descriptions. Ok, I'm stalling yeah I know; they had some creative names and concepts for these items as well as calzones, pizzas, and so on n so forth. But biggest ingredient they put on there sandwiches is lettuce(3) to the 3rd power. Not to mention great lettuce either just the rotten brown low quality lettuce they couldn't get rid of ( so now i know where they cut costs). the ham/bacon was great but compared to how people were talking about it. it was a sad disappointment ( I think I'll stick with my other places when I come back home ). Literally this place deserves a 1, but " for da familia" i'll give it a 2 as it's they're favorite spot. Just not mine. Before I forget they also bake the sandwiches so long that the bread is extremely crispy and has a nice crack to it with every bite. However, on the walls it's decorated with a lot of mafia references and pictures ( posters of scar face, god-father, ect ect ) which made for an interesting wait but very uncomfortable wait none-the-less. read more

Great Pizza, But I have been there and workers look miserable! Put a smile on and get an AC..Having staff work at Pizza shop with just a fan is pretty tough! read more

Great take out pizza. No dining room but it is meant to be take out only. Owners are friendly and my wife and I love their pizza. Been loyal customers for ten years. read more
