Great legit Italian place with super friendly family who care about serving you delish food . The pizza has a perfect crunchy crust with enough heft to hold all the toppings . Really tasty. Also had baked ziti which was great. Get the garlic knots !! read more

I arrived a bit before my pickup time and was informed that this is a place where the pickup time is what they say it's going to be, which is not the case everywhere but is fine. A four cheese pizza is a common creation, but of course there are more than four cheeses so every chef picks differently. The ones here gave a complex flavor impression both Italian and American, and getting jalapenos on top completed the taste with some needed bite. Had I wanted anything other than bread and cheese I didn't like their salad options, but they did what they're trying to do effectively. read more

Lentini's - Four cheese pizza with jalapenos - Pizza Near Me - Daleville, Virginia

Good pizza and salad!!! Very tasty stop on a road trip got the vodka pizza and it was delicious !!!

If you live in Botetourt and haven't tried Lentini's yet, you're seriously missing out. This is hands down one of the best local pizza spots in the area. The pizza is consistently on point. The crust has that perfect balance -- crispy on the outside, soft and slightly chewy inside. It holds the toppings without getting soggy, which already puts it above a lot of places. The sauce has real flavor (slightly sweet, slightly tangy) and doesn't taste overly processed. The cheese melts perfectly and gives you that classic stretch when you pull a slice away. The garlic knots are a must. Soft, buttery, and seasoned just right -- they're honestly addictive. The subs are stacked and filling, and the portions overall are very fair for the price. What really makes this place stand out is the atmosphere. It feels like a true local spot -- families, teams after games, regulars who clearly come in all the time. The staff is friendly and efficient, and even when they're busy, the food comes out hot and consistent. It's hard to find a small-town pizza place that nails both quality and consistency, but Lentini's does. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, you can count on it being good every time. Definitely one of Botetourt's go-to spots. read more

What a great find on a summer road trip! Delicious food - don't miss out on the garlic knots - and such nice staff.

My family loves this place. It's close to home so we usually just go when I don't feel like cooking. My kids love the penne vodka and I love the eggplant parm. Garlic knots are a must. Their tomato sauce is probably my favorite of any Italian restaurant I've tried. Good service, good food, clean. Highly recommend this family owned restaurant!! read more

Have taken out food three times now. 1st time was a Tuesday night, it was crazy busy so I waited 45 minutes for a chicken parm. Fast forward a few months, this time I called in my order and was told a half hour. When I got there to pick up my food, the girl who took my order forgot to put it in so I walked out with nothing. A week ago I called in my order again, chicken parm sub. I was told 30 minutes but it took 45. Unfortunately while I was waiting a cockroach walked right by me. No more Lentini's for me and it's too bad because they make a good sandwich. read more

Accommodated our large group, kids and adults, everyone had a great meal and a great time . Kind service, delicious food. Check this place out! read more

I came here with a friend for a late lunch on. Thursday after 4 days on the trail. We opted for this place over a local chain as I like to support local businesses and I liked the choice of pizza toppings better. The restaurant was empty but the service was top notch and the food was excellent. My friend got pasta and pepperoni pizza and I had salad and pasta with marinara. The breadsticks that came with my meal were divine. Plenty of parking outside, and a very peaceful atmosphere to eat our lunch. There was Italian music playing and the whole experience felt very genuine. I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 because vegan options were limited. But I would come back here if I find myself in Daleville again, and I definitely recommend it. read more

See all

We had our 1st takeout dinner from there yesterday ( to celebrate my wife's 80th birthday yesterday). I cannot renember a more pleasant/delicious meal since moving here from Mass. in1969. Thank your staff for everything that they did as well as the quality of their service. RWMeadows read more

Best Italian food in the Botetourt/Roanoke area! Never disappoints! We ordered several pasta dishes, garlic knots and a pizza and all was amazing! We love "the works" pizza! read more

We had a large pizza with everything on it. Not enough sauce, the crust was really stiff. Not enough cheese. Give it a 3 out of 5. Side salads are a joke. I'm sorry to say that: lettuce, very unripe tomato. Don't bother. Friends had the Italian Sub and Spaghetti with meat sauce. Both of them were unimpressed. Given the experience as a whole, I don't think we will be back. And I'm sorry to write such a review. read more

Lentini's in Daleville delivers consistently outstanding food and warm, attentive service. The NY‑style pizza and hearty pasta dishes--think stuffed shells, chicken parm, and fettuccine Alfredo--show true Italian flair, and that homemade marinara sauce is unforgettable . What sets it apart is the friendly, family-style hospitality: servers hustle even on busy nights, making every visit feel like you're part of the family . Whether dining in or grabbing takeout, the welcoming atmosphere and delicious menu options make Lentini's a top choice for great food and service. read more

Clean kitchen and dining area, friendly and competent service, quality home-cooked Italian entrees, adequate servings, reasonably priced. What more could you ask for? Avoid the chain spaghetti factories and discover a family-owned business that delivers on its promises. read more

We had a great birthday party here for 24 in the private room. The restaurant was very easy to work with. The food and service were excellent. We had our guests order off the dinner menu as desired but also started by ordering a large variety of pizzas to share. They server was extremely attentive, friendly, and helpful. I love that they have beer and wine on the menu. The stuffed shells were very good, as were the salads and homemade ranch dressing that come with the pasta dishes. In case other people are looking to book a room for a private party, I would recommend this place. It seems that room could comfortably fit a much larger party than our own, probably 45-50. read more

Amazing authentic pizza!!! Highly recommend!! Closest thing to NJ pizza I have found. My new go to place!

Excellent food. The breading is light and crispy making all their dishes taste so wonderful. My favorites are the Cheesesteak Sub with the works. My co-worker is gluten free so she loves the gluten free pizza. Says it's the best around and we travel extensively for work! read more

Excellent pizza, tender crust, yummy toppings. Caesar salad very fresh. Nice family run business.

This is a small family run business. The pizza has to be the best I have ever had. Thin crispy crust and the toppings were excellent. We also had lasagna which we ended up taking home at it was also outstanding the next day. The atmosphere is cozy and the wait staff is very attentive. They were extremely busy but we never felt neglected. Thanks for a great evening. read more

Saturday night pizza to go was excellent! We had the STEAK PIZZA with green and red peppers and onions. The crust was perfect with crispy edges and fluffy inside. Pizza sauce was not overpowering and with just the right amount of cheese. We also had the VEGGIE PIZZA with great peppers, onions, mushrooms, broccoli and garlic. Everything blended just right and flavor was delightful. Love this family owned restaurant and this family! THANK YOU for a most pleasant takeout pizza experience. read more

Great pizza! I've had the white with mozzarella, artichokes, ricotta and spinach. I had them add garlic because who doesn't love FRESH garlic. Delish. Last time I tried the four cheese pizza and added pepperoni. They could have thrown a few more pepperonis on it for the up-charge but WOW, a LOT of cheese. But you can NEVER have too much cheese. I get the large, which is more like an extra-large and it lasts me three nights of dinners. Family owned, nice people. read more

Found this place while staying at a nearby motel. The motel staff said that this restaurant was good. I tried the spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce was a little watery and the meatballs were just average. My wife tried the penna vodka, she really liked it. We also ordered a cheese pizza that was excellent. They do provide a military/veteran discount which is much appreciated. read more

My family loves everything about this place! A complete gem! The family is so welcoming and sweet. And the food is incredible! I highly recommend the cheesesteak sandwich! I travel for work all over the country, they have the best cheesesteak I have ever eaten! Wish I could give more stars read more

Fantastic spaghetti and bread sticks! Quick service with a Togo order. Meat sauce had awesome flavor, no dressing was offered with the salad, but will still make a good snack when I get home. Will be back soon! read more

Cant say it tastes like a**, because at-least a** would have a taste. Listen let me explain we ate here a few months ago, but the day we went sticks with me like a thorn. Im dating a Chef, and when we went this food tasted so bland. They couldn't even get the sub i order to taste like anything. Everything on the food bar was cold, bland and hard. It was all very gross. read more

Great pie, nice thin crust closest to a NY style in this area. Very friendly owners and staff.

Fantastic! This place is real Italian owned & operates by an Italian family. The from scratch sauces are AMAZING! We've only had the pizza & the stromboli so far. We want to try other things but the pizza is so good that we must have it every time. read more

We eat here often. Their lunch buffet is so good! Nothing fancy but always delicious​. The Ranch Dressing on the salad bar is outstanding. The atmosphere​ is casual and the staff very helpful and friendly. I would recommend Lentini's to anyone wanting a nice Italian lunch. read more

My calzone the other night was quite undercooked even though the place was quite empty. The place can be rather loud at times, Nothing anywhere to absorb sound. I was totally unimpressed with the buffet. Same food as when they were Bella pizza down the street, a lot of things bland and boring, at Bella the food temps on the buffet were no where near warm enough, seems to be the same here for the two times I tried the buffet. We have had to wait every time for them to actually put new pizza on the buffet or even request it. Only pepperoni and cheese available. No variety, and they seem old and cool at times. I prefer to order off the menu. Salad bar quite lacking in options. Most times our waitress service has been very good, but considering everything, I thinks it's overpriced. read more

I LOVE Lentinis! This family is so incredibly sweet and always greats you with a smile and amazing food! My husband introduced me to their original restaurant years ago and I am so happy to see them going forward with their new adventure! read more

One of my favorite restaurants. Family owned and operated, very sweet people, everything is great-Love the white pizza, calzone, lasagna, garlic knots and all very affordable. Casual and relaxed, music overhead but not loud so easy to enjoy conversation. For those of you traveling on I-81, it is not too far off interstate and worth the stop. Try it! read more

Always, always, always delicious food! I live a few miles away so I frequent this restaurant at least once a week and I am always more than satisfied. My number once choice for any Italian food. It is family owned and its money well spent! read more

Love this restaurant. The Spaghetti and Meatballs, the Pizza, and everything we have tried has been great. The service at times is kind of iffy. The Family is wonderful and always appreciative and friendly. read more

Pizza was delicious and there were plenty of toppings. Staff was friendly and food was ready to picked up right when they said it would be.

First off I want to share that the food was pretty delicious. I went with 2 other adults and three kids, one being very hyper. And they were welcoming to that. I order breadsticks at first, then they didn't take my order until they came , which took about 15 mins. From the time I order my pizza till I got it was an hour! Way to long for all the kids to wait and eat. My pizza and the other pizza were ordered at the same time, it the second pizza came 18 minutes later. they said it's coming shortly didn't provide an explanation to why their was a huge time difference. It was not busy and I saw three people who came after us eat and leave before we got our food. I would return to get take out but I'm won't eat in. Food good service wasn't bad but not sure if it was the kitchen error or forgot to put in my order . read more

I had just arrived in Daleville after 42 days hiking in the Appalachian Trail. While hiking I thought a lot about the dinner I wanted. I did not want to be disappointed and I certainly was not when at Lentini's! The salad was fresh, cold and crisp. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs and was pleased to receive very four very tasty meatballs with the spaghetti. The spaghetti was perfectly cooked and the sauce were seasoned just right. My server was very pleasant and attentive. read more

If you find yourself on I-81 near exit 150, don't miss this great, family-owned Italian restaurant. Just one mile off the exit. The food is wonderful and the Lentinis will make you feel like a member of the family! This is in my opinion the best Italian food in the Roanoke area. My favorite is the sausage pizza, with locally sourced sausage. Delicious! Also, if you are there at lunchtime, don't miss the buffet. Several kinds of pasta (many of which are vegetarian), pizza, salad, and pepperoni & ham rolls. All homemade and all delicious! (and all for only $7.75, a real bargain!) As someone who drives the Interstate a lot for business, I know how hard it is to find good food in an area you aren't familiar with. Take it from me, you won't find better food, or a more clean and friendly family restaurant! read more

I have been eating pizza from the Lentini family since 2003 (when they were originally Bella's in a different location), and they have the absolute BEST pizza in the area! I moved here from Long Island, and Lentini's pizza is every bit as good as pizza you can get in the NYC area. In addition, the service is always good and friendly. I highly recommend it! read more

This place is absolutley amazing. Growing up in New York, and being Italian, I miss my genuine Italian homecooked meal. Good Italian is hard to come by in Virginia. But when it comes to authentic italian, this is the real deal. Everything is superb right down to the heart warming, friendly staff. Not to mention, the garlic knots will knock your socks off. Anyone who says this place is any short of the best doesnt know what they are talking about. read more

Lentini's - Boom! Garlic perfection - Pizza Near Me - Daleville, Virginia

I tried to have lunch there today. I almost left given the small amount of choices on the menu, but the waitress was very nice. However when our spaghetti and meatballs came out of the kitchen the bowl was 1/2 full of water. The smallest meatball and literally 1" long piece of sausage. Ok, I decided to not accept the food. "What do I owe you for the drinks?" (Assuming I would be persuaded to return in the future the response I expected was, "No charge, just please give us another chance in the future." What I heard was "$4.95". I explained to the owner that he should understand the $5 would cost him any chance that I would return. He explained I was the first complaint about watery spaghetti he had ever received in 20 years. I would not recommend you try Lentini's, but if you'd like to, please do so soon. I don't think they will last very long. read more
