Others in our group got shawarma sandwiches and spinach pies, and everyone was raving about their food. We wrapped up with a baklava sampler for dessert, which was the perfect ending. The food alone would've made the night, but our waiter really took it to another level. He was warm, personable, and clearly remembered my grandparents from past visits. He greeted them like old friends and was genuinely helpful throughout the meal, steering us toward dishes we'd love based on what we were in the mood for. That kind of attentive, personal service is hard to come by. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great Mediterranean/Middle Eastern meal with excellent service to match. Already planning our next visit!

The spinach pie was quite good! And after about 10 minutes my shawarma came out. It was seasoned good even though a little dry. The garlic sauce was very flavorful and helped with the overall flavor and texture. I was quite happy with the food as well as the price! I would definitely recommend and come back to this place!

Stopped by for lunch during the weekday & opted for their weekday lunch special of $10 for 2 slices…read more& a drink. Ordered a slice of: margherita, grandma pizza, BBQ chicken, & plain cheese. Pizza here is delicious!! Great, thin, crispy crust. The Margherita here is with a white sauce, not red, but still enjoyed it. My son LOVED the BBQ one. My favorite was the slice of grandma's pie. Slightly thicker crust & I loved the red sauce on it. On the tangy side, which I prefer. We recently moved to Haymarket from Fairfax area & was bummed we couldn't find a good pizza spot that could compare to our favorites (Andy's, Crust neapolitan). Lo & behold, this is it!! We'll be regulars here for sure. Great, quick service too. Already planning a big order for my son's upcoming birthday party :)

Great, real New York style pizza. The best you will get in Northern Virginia. I ordered in-store by…read morethe slice and the pizza was oh so good. Hot, cheesy, and fresh. Just like back in New York where I grew up. Don't often get that here. Service was quick, prompt, and efficient. There is a cooler with drinks, one cooler for non-alcohol, one cooler with alcohol. There are some tables inside to eat at after you order at the counter, or you can get takeout or delivery. Parking is a bit confusing since there are a lot of other stores, but you will figure it out. You can park behind or to the side of Valentino's and walk a tad bit. No more than a minute. It's fine.

I ordered the famous MARGHERITA and NY special for the first time. I have never been here before…read more NY special was ok but the MARGHERITA was awful. It looked like someone just rushed it completely. The cheese did not melt and there was ridiculous amount of arugula which all looked wilted and not fresh . The pizza was very soggy and very salty. Pickup time was 5:10pm and I got there at 5:07pm. I am from NY and this is no NY pizza. I rather eat Dominos pizza than this. For $25 a box, I didn't expect gourmet but this was really bad. This was my first time and my last time going here. Why can't there be a good pizza joint in Gainesville VA? I guess it's back to Dominos and Joes Pizza. At least you get what you pay for.

OK folks - eating here twice in one week so yes I like this place. Ate here on 1/9/25 - Thursday…read morefor lunch. It was pleasantly busy - 8 tables full. Service was good but Sami from my early visit still stands out as a super star. We started with the meatball appetizer- very good and a large portion. Next, I ordered the Jersey Joe hoagie - everything about it was good except the Italian dressing that was drizzled on top - the dressing was sweet and not a good combo with Italian cold cuts - worse for me because I don't like sweet anything. Portion size was large so a good value. Other nit was the pickle - it was soft and not crisp - reminded me of Vlassic which again... not a fan of. Recommend they upgrade to Clausen. My wife had the gyro - same as what she got at our previous visit. It was excellent so they are consistent with the recipe. Net net - really like this place but I need to learn more about their recipes and flavor profiles to dial in on things I like versus the other options.

Good Fellas Pizza just "rebranded." Their new name is "Punto Pizza."…read more I went over to order a pizza and was surprised to see a different sign on the business. I walked in to order - and asked what happened to Good Fellas? They replied it's the same folks, same management, same menu (with some new additions). I asked if the other three Good Fellas locations were also rebranding? They replied no. I double checked and asked if the pizza had changed. They replied "same pizza!" So I ordered their Meat Lovers pizza! Tasty as always! #PuntoPizza

BLUF: good American style food in a comfy atmosphere…read more Four of us went for dinner on a weekday evening. The service was friendly and responsive. Try to get there during happy hour deals for appetizers because it cuts the price substantially. Had the burger slider and avocado egg roll appetizers. The burgers were very good, and when I asked for some mayo to go with the burgers the server brought it promptly. They don't give you quite enough dipping sauce for the avocado rolls, so go ahead and ask for them to give you two containers of dip right from the start. The french fries were tasty but a little bit overdone. Also got the cheeseburger which was very tasty came on a nice brioche bun. The only complaint was that I think the food took a little too long to come out. Nothing terrible but probably about 5 minutes longer than I think it should have for relatively simple bar food. That said we enjoyed the food we had and our server was friendly and responsive.
