The kid and I stopped here for lunch on her last day of winter break. I see that it has been 14 years since my original review so it is time for an update. The restaurant was not very full at lunchtime so we found a table immediately (you seat yourself). A person who I assume was the manager appeared to take our drink order and since I was familiar with the menu we ordered at once. We requested a roll with balsamic vinegar for the kid and they obliged at no cost, I was not expecting that. Our food came out promptly, The kid had her usual pasta with marinara and liked it. I had two slices. They are enormous, the biggest I have seen since I lived in NYC. I had a cheese slice and a slice with sausage. Both had thin crispy crust and were flavorful. Not expensive at all. The ambience has picture/paintings of Italy on the walls. The interior is dark with wooden tables and wooden bar area. After the manager passed our table to a waitress, the service did not drop off. She was pleasant and accommodating. Overall, a very good experience at a very reasonable price. I am glad that this location on Garland Rd has been around for so long and I hope they stay for many more years. read more

I've been wanting to try this location for quite some time after having had a great experience at their now closed Casa Linda location. And this visit did not disappoint. Quite the opposite. My friend and I went on a Friday afternoon and had the lunch slice special. I had sausage and she had the ricotta pizza. We both had salad with house dressing and iced tea. Everything exceeded our expectations. My pizza had ample sausage and a very tasty sauce. While plain it was delicious. Hers was more fancy with dollops of ricotta placed about. It also had a nice, not overpowering, garlic taste. Both slices were generous and just the right size for lunch. The salads were fresh and the house dressing is recommended. Service was friendly and efficient. Our server even took time to tell us his favorites which warrant another visit. The menu is full and diverse, to my thinking. Also there are four beers on tap that I saw. Prices seem reasonable to me although I haven't dined there in the evening. The ambiance is comfortable leaning towards classy especially for what was once an Arby's. Plenty of seating and parking on site. All in all a fine meal at a very reasonable price. read more

I was placed on hold for about 3 minutes when I called to place my order, which honestly wasn't a big deal. I placed the order and wasn't given a pickup time, so I assumed 10-15 minutes would be reasonable. When I arrived, the customer service was extremely disappointing. The man at the front barely spoke, acted uninterested, and practically tossed my food onto the counter. On top of that, the prices in the restaurant were different from what was listed elsewhere. Overall, the experience felt rude and unprofessional, and I definitely expected better customer service. Please go to the other location if you want better customer service. read more

They make a very solid NY style pizza. Nice & thin w/crispy crust I ordered (DoorDash) a 16" cheese w/sausage, pepperoni, hamburger & extra cheese cooked well done/extra crispy. The toppings are high in quality but compared to other places I found them to be a little skimpy on quantity. I wouldn't reorder a side of ranch bc it's Hidden Valley or similar store brand (def not made in house). I'll order again, next time I'll try their pasta and/or sandwiches. read more

Incredible service, outstanding authentic food, large portions, fair prices, great location, nice interior & exterior

I was led astray by the positive reviews of this restaurant. We ordered pickup so I can't say much about the service, but the food was aggressively mediocre. Chicken Carciofi tastes as if it came straight out of a can. read more

I ordered delivery and the pizza came fast and hot. Unfortunately it was underwhelming. I couldn't taste the sauce at all and it was just really really salty. The crust was not crispy and the top felt a little undercooked. I wouldn't order again. read more

It was my first time there and the experience was a 3/10. I walked in, wasn't properly greeted. The whole interaction was just quiet and awkward.I ordered the lasagna and it was a 4/10. It wasn't what I expected but i'm sure the other meals on the menu will be better and can't wait to try them. I just think there should be improvement on the customer service and communication area. read more

Great pizza, great price, excellent service. I almost always order pizza by the slice. It is excellent. I am a big guy, but a single slice makes a full meal for me. A single slice with double sausage is $3.80. Outstanding. And it is loaded full of meat. read more

We like Lovers. Wife was wanting Italian food so this is one of our go to places. The service is alway very good and friendly folks. The Restaurant looks very clean and updated and could easily be and upscale place that is hidden for you to enjoy. I got Spaghetti and meatballs and garlic bread!! Wife got Spinach Manicotti and she loved it ate the whole meal!!! We will be back and thanks for being there close to home. read more

Absolutely amazing pizza! Every time I go to Dallas I always make a stop at Lovers The service is super fast and everyone is very friendly who works up there. I haven't eaten in yet because I always pick it up to go, but the inside has a nice/cozy lunch/dinner date vibe! I highly recommend trying their cheese pizza (with whatever toppings you prefer but I get the hamburger every time) and when I go in to pick it up their desserts look phenomenal, that's going to be a part of my next order! read more

Pizza taste good, have had thick crust and thin and both are good. Salads are huge! Very skimpy on ingredients! Not a cheap date, $48.50 for one pizza and salad, this has pepperoni, hamburger, Italian sausage, green pepper, black olives and jalapeños. It was all bread. I've ordered twice, that'll be it unfortunately. read more

Love their pizza! We decided to branch out and try something new in the neighborhood. Enjoyed their veggie thin crust pizza and it was delivered quickly. Tons of black olives, green peppers and tomatoes with the perfect ratio of cheese to sauce and yummy crust. Also, we noticed not any added grease which is a huge plus and all fresh ingredients. The crust was thin but not too thin. The large size was more than enough for two and we enjoyed leftovers for lunch today. We'll order from here again soon (or go in person) and maybe try something else on their menu too! read more

So I go to Lover's Pizza on Garland Road for a slice of pizza and see my friend Mary at the bar. We hug and take a picture to send to our friends Kathy and Cathy. And then I get a call to order food for Kathy's husband. He shows up for his To Go order and a few minutes later both K/Cathys show up. Now the bar area is full and Geneva the bartender is happy. Hubby heads off (flying out of state for work) and the four ladies head to a backyard for a nightcap. Lover's is my GO-TO place for a great service and a delicious slice of Pizza.

First diners at 11:00. Pizza was ok, had a couple slices of the house special and each had water. $16 including tip Pizza slices were very slow to come out, over 20 minutes but maybe because we were the first diners? Wait service was excellent. Standard old school Italian interior, clean dining and restrooms. Would go again but definitely not a first pic. Not memorable pizza but maybe entree's would be better. read more

This was our second time coming here and it was even better than the first ! We got the lasagna and penne rigatea with grilled chicken , the food was delicious and portions were big enough for leftovers the next day! The meal comes with a big salad and they have a homemade Italian dressing that has tomatoes or marinara sauce in it and I loved it I've never had anything like it, the entrees also came with bread of course! We ended the meal with a slice of tiramisu and it was also delicious! Service was good , the ambiance was good, the place is small so it feels homey, I definitely recommend this restaurant if you enjoy Italian food at affordable prices! read more

Ordered pizza for the first time -- large veggie for takeout. Pizza was definitely solid, good mix of toppings and they were nicely baked in. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be ordering again anytime soon because it was pretty overpriced: that one pizza cost $30 (obviously including tax/10% tip). read more

Was in the mood for pizza and decided to give this pizza place a try. Bottom line - pizza is a 5.2 (Barstool pizza rating scale). The restaurant shares a building with a burger/bar place. The inside has a bar and dining area with booths/tables. My pick-up order was ready in about 15 minutes. I ordered a medium cheese and tomato pizza (I added basil to make it Margherita style). The pizza was hot, but looked like it had a bit more dough than the Napolitana thin crust I was expecting. It was still hot by the time I got home, but tasted how it looked - more pizza dough than crisp. The first slice I picked up wasn't floppy at all and had a good firmness, but tasted like it was baked in a home oven. Cheese and tomato sauce were sub-par, nothing special. I prefer a bit more crispy crust, especially if it says it's thin crust. If you're looking for Papa John's quality pizza in a sit-down restaurant than this might be a good option. I might come back for other menu options, but not the pizza. read more

Lovers Pizzaeria & Pasta provides a comfortable environment with delicious options! The staff are very friendly too. For reference, my group mate and I ordered a 14-inch veggie pizza (mushrooms, mozzarella, onions, green peppers, black olives, spinach and tomatoes) and an order of cannolis (which come in a pair). The pizza was absolutely to die for. The thin crust was baked to perfection and the veggie flavors all came through uniquely. The vegetables were not over-cooked or wilted, like you may experience on some vegetable pizzas. The cannolis, which are made in-house, were also delicious! They are fairly large in size, leaving us very full after our meal. As for the price, the quantity and quality of the product is definitely worth it. And the service is great too - very tentative and helpful. read more

Great place for a pizza. Always great service. It's a hidden gem. What can we say if you know you know.

I've always passed by this place not knowing what to expect, but once I came here.. I have no words to describe my experience other than wow!! I am absolutely surprised of how wonderful this place is! It definitely exceeded my expectations. The prices were good, and the food made every penny worth it. Even the waiter was willing to speak Spanish for my Spanish-speaking parents, and the owner of the shop is polite on top of everything else. I 100% recommend it. Many reviews degrade this restaurant, but i'd have to disagree. I am sorry you feel that way!! :) read more

Everything we have ordered from this location has been really good. We have always preferred it over another popular pizza place up the street. Lovers never has floppy crust or super salty pizza, unlike that other place. read more

Love their pizza and pastas, definitely a family that runs this business, they have at least 3 locations around Dallas. Long time favorite!

I dropped by Lovers' for lunch after doing a little shopping in the Casa Linda area. First of all, I was surprised by the set-up. I was expecting it to be more casual, like ordering your food at the counter and then just taking it to a table and eating it, but this place actually has waiters and they have cozy, homey Italian decor. I'd say it would be a cute place for a cheap date. I ordered two slices of pepperoni pizza and a drink, nothing too fancy. Surprise #2... I was surprised by how big their slices were! Think NY-style slices. Big and thin. I loved the crust because thin crust is my favorite and theirs has a nice crisp at the bottom. The toppings though... I felt like the flavors of all the ingredients (the sauce, the cheese, and the pepperoni) kinda blended together, BUT something that stood out to me about this pizzeria is they had shakers of oregano in addition to the typical parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. My pizza tasted much better after sprinkling some oregano on it. Still, I'd say Lovers pizza is like mall pizza. Good pizza, especially for the price, but there's definitely better pizza out there! read more
