Joe&#x27;s Pizza

Wow! We ordered delivery and it was surprisingly good - a variety of dishes (cheese ravioli,…read moreAlfredo, lasagna, baked ziti) and all were hot, fresh and very tasty. The rolls were great also, along with the fried ravioli. This will become a regular goto when we want Italian.

I'll start with the bad, then finish with the good. Short…read morestory? I'll be back. But... Luigi's Little Italy needs to up their game on fried appetizers. Being our first visit, we tried to sampler so that we could experience 3 of the apps at once. The calamari, mozzarella sticks and "toasted" ravioli all seemed to be fried in the same batter, and the same oil. I would question the quality of the items even before frying.... and the frying didn't help their cause. I ate one bland, not-so-fresh tasting calamari ring, one bite of a mozzarella stick and one bite of the ravioli. The rest of the appetizer went home to the dog. I mean, this place is dated, and this I knew before eating. Which is fine--I think many of us have a need to experience the nostalgia of the Italian restaurants of yesteryear. Rubber grapes hanging from the ceilings, painted images of Italy on the wall. Unchanged from when I was a teenager in Western NY and we would go out for Italian; the decor and menu seem to be the same. But the quality of ingredients needs to be current. We have come to expect better! A lot of Italian places are doing more creative things, with better calamari. Appetizers such as burrata and carpaccio are present on modern Italian menu's. If you are going to stick with the old stuff, it needs to be GREAT. Okay, enough of the negativity. The Chicken Florentine ordered by my companion was very good. The sauce was nice, flavorful, and not too heavy (although perhaps too generous but that's going back to the dated thing). I have a sampler of stuffed pastas, and the red sauce was very much to my liking. A touch of sweet, not too acidic, just the way I like sauce to be. They have a decent wine selection. I didn't try the desserts. I'm quite a cannoli purist...and I hate to be disappointed, so I didn't risk it. Overall--we'll be back. We'll be back for the friendly and consistent service, the generally good food (skip the fried stuff), and the kitschy ambience.

How can i go about reviewing this establishment? No adult…read morewould voluntarily set foot in here. Which means, if you have come to this place, you were dragged (kicking and screaming) by your (max 10 yo) kid. They specialize in birthday parties (my daughter did celebrate 2 of hers here) and family nights, though every day offers a different type of discount. I would categorize it as a hybrid between a 80s arcade establishment and an all-you-can eat pizza joint. The arcade location is not really as big as you woukd expect it to be. It is a money pit and a parent's nightmare. With overexcited kids constantly begging for "more coins". The pizza is quite uneventful. But, when you are having a birthday party, you are allowed some perks (such as ordering a personalized pizza.. put of their list). I rather enjoy their sweet pizzas, not a huge fan of their salty options. They do offer a sald bar but i never can quite find fresh ibgredients to my liking so i usually skip it all together.

We have been frequenting Alec and His lovely wife's restraint since the day it opened . The food has always been amazingly delicious with very large portions . Red wine vinaigrette is the house dressing . Since opening they continue to keep the venue interesting and add things from time to time. We like everything on the menue. The service is always impressively friendly and the area pretty fast for a cook to order family restraint. Ambiance: with murels of venice and New York on the walls , you get the " New York" Italian style food vibe . Its hard to believe they are not Italian lol. Come on in, sit down , tell them Frank from New York sent you. Ask them " hows the veel ? read more

If I could I would give this restaurant 6 stars. It has the best pizza in Abilene. The toppings cover the pizza. 100% mozzarella cheese and handmade crust. Also th best lasagna. The best pizza bowl. The staff are very friendly and help homeless people eat something. The owner and his family are class acts. It costs more than the chains, but we'll worth it. read more
