    Nelly Extra Large
    Ron Y.

    Great cheese pizza, ordered extra large for 3 of us, maybe next time order 2 Large. Customer service polite and fast, can't wait to order more!

    Garlic Knots Half (3)

    First time here yesterday(7/18/26). Drove over an hour after seeing on TikTok. Friendly greeters as soon as you enter the restaurant. The pizza was decent. The sausage link was covered in marinara sauce and was decent. The garlic knots were disgusting.... At least 3-5 bulbs of raw garlic covered 3 garlic knots. Pictures of everything below. However, the service was awful. When ordering our food, I had to repeat my order several times to the cashier. She was constantly looking off at coworkers, talking to coworkers or checking her cell phone. As she is talking, she also rubs her nose, twice that I counted and did not wash her hands or use sanitizer. My partner noticed and said, "she is only taking money and orders and not fixing our food."(Thankfully)! After paying and sitting to wait for our order, I noticed my order is wrong on my receipt. I ordered Italian sausage spaghetti and she rang me up for an Italian sausage link. When I asked her if the link was the spaghetti, she said "no." I said I ordered spaghetti not a sausage link. She replied " I heard what you said and that's not what you ordered." ( as if I don't know what I ordered). She then asked rudely if I want to change my order. I did not because I'm not going to argue with a cashier who has access to people fixing my food. We got our order and decided this was a one and done visit and will go elsewhere to spend our money and get nice customer service and food that we actually ordered.

    Pepperoni Stromboli
    Scott G.

    Walked in and greeted right away. Asked if we had any questions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Runner was cleaning off tables. Place very clean. Bathrooms very clean and stocked, too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got the "moma Pizza" slice, pepperoni stromboli, 1/2 garlic knots and fountain drink all for $27.43. Pizza had pepperoni, jalapeño, Hoy-honey sauce. Pizza slice was huge, hot, too heavy to pick up at first bite. We give the Pizza rating a 9.5. also got a pepperoni Stromboli, which I would give a 9.4 as well, and the garlic knots were the best I ever had which I would give a 9.9 out of 10. wish Nelly's wasn't so far from Nashville. Will definitely make the drive again. It was well worth it. Food

    I finally was able to try and stop by Nellys. I like this place a lot even though I didn't get the full experience with trying the rest of the menu. I wanted to just try a slice of pizza and it didn't disappoint. I think as far as the Nashville area goes, nellys puts themselves as a top tier pizza joint. There isn't much competition out there for a classic any slice so Nellys by far takes the cake, they are top 3 in my opinion.

    Half cheese half pepperoni and mushroom. And a Stromboli.
    Steve S.

    We love this place. Hands down the best pizza in the area. And this time we tried a Stromboli. Fantastic! And if that isn't enough, Nelly and her staff are always welcoming and have great customer service. And the online ordering was easy and quick. I recommend putting this place in your regular rotation when dinning out or take out.

    Double crust slice
    Alex M.

    would definitely suggest nellys if you're looking for the taste of an authentic mom & pop pizza joint in NJ/NY. Portions are huge- really great value and tasty food. We got the last booth right before the dinner rush around 6:30. Ordered at the counter and the food was brought out piping hot a few minutes later. My favorite was the supreme slice, they are very generous with the toppings. My boyfriend's favorite was the double crust slice. The deep dish square pizza was awesome dipped in the marinara cup. Garlic knots were enormous! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was so refreshing to see a small joint like this packed with happy people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We also got 2 cannolis to go. Love this place. Staff was super friendly too!

    Chicken Parm
    Memphis M.

    I went there today to get the chicken Parm. The food was not very hot and served on a Styrofoam plate. Not a very good experience.

    I saw this business on TikTok. We do not have an Italian Deli here so I was interested in trying…read morethis one out in Columbia, TN. We drove up on Wednesday to check it out. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted. Inside is clean with 4 tables for sitting inside to eat. The restaurant is small and cutely decorated. The display cases with meats, cheeses and different salads and condiments looked great. The deli meats for the subs is sliced very thin. We started with lasagna and garlic bread that Dave and I shared. The filling had beef and Italian sausage and it was delicious. The cheese pull was good and not too much. The red sauce was very good. 5/5 We ordered foods to go after eating the lasagna in store. I failed to take a picture of the lasagna. Suffice it to say it was inhaled quickly. We tried the eggplant panini in store too. Everything else was to go. I ordered a Bruno Sub and asked for roasted red peppers to be added. Honestly I couldn't taste the roasted red peppers as there weren't very many added. There was a thin slice of 1 onion ring on the sub so I couldn't taste any onion at all. For me that's a fail as I like to taste ingredients. 4/5 The eggplant panini came with a side of marinara. I have had eggplant panini's before and was anticipating this one. When I saw it, I was very disappointed. There were 2 very thin slices of eggplant inside a sub roll that had been put in a panini press or under bricks to smash the bread down. The only taste was bread. Marinara was good but couldn't rescue the panini. 1/5 We bought 1 arancini and it came with marinara. I heated it up along with the marinara. One bite in and I was sold. I would definitely go back and order arancini again. The meat inside was flavored well and the marinara made everything come together well. 5/5 We ordered a pastrami. For us there was way too much fat and we couldn't remove the fat like we can in a Jewish deli because this meat was sliced paper thin. 3/5 The potato salad was lacking in flavor to me. There was a significant amount of mayo in my opinion. Dave liked it. 3/5 The marinated artichokes were delicious and so were the white bean salad. 5/5 Dave ordered a Super Sub. It had 4 meats plus lettuce, tomato, and cheese. There was a tiny sliver of onion but we couldn't taste it. He loved his sub. 5/5 The two cannoli's were delicious. I favored the vanilla and Dave favored the chocolate. 5/5 We will return as the food was good. If you are missing an Italian Deli taste, please stop by. This place makes everything from scratch. It was worth the trip.

    Bruno's Italian Deli is as authentic an Italian Deli as I have had in Tennessee. Hands down 5…read morestars. I always get a super sub because it is simply perfect. If you're craving a true Italian sub , well look no more this is the place! Highly recommend.

The menu has so many different chicken salad flavors that it was hard to choose, but everything looked fresh and made with care. I ended up getting a sandwich with a side, and every bite was delicious. The chicken salad was flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and served on a soft, fresh croissant that took it to another level. The side was just as good, and the cookie at the end was a sweet bonus that rounded out the meal perfectly.

The décor and live music make you feel like you've stepped right into the heart of Nashville, but what really sets this place apart isn't the atmosphere, it's the people.

The weird interaction with the server is why I'm giving it 3 stars. My husband ordered a burger, the waitress asked how he'd like it cooked, to which he responded "medium rare please". She looked at him like he was ordering raw chicken and goes "ON A BURGER?" To which I said, how would you order it? And she said "I order my burgers well done". He said "oh, no, medium rare please." To which she responded "okayyyy!" Like he's the idiot. The burger came and he started eating it, when she came back to ask how the food was she looks at the burger with a bite taken out and goes "a lot of red in there!" I just don't even know what to say, is this the first time anyone has ordered a med rare burger from her? That's how we've ordered it our whole lives. Even if it's "gross" or "dangerous" to her- it's really not her place to comment. If it's only proper to eat well done, then why did she think she was asking? She was very sweet and I would've given her 5 stars and a big tip if she hadn't made those comments. Just so bazaar. My husband and I are still scratching our heads about it.
