    Stopped by One Guy from Italy for a quick bite before heading out to Llano Estacado Winery. When you arrive parking can be a bit tricky but you can park on a side street or off university. I'd recommend not parking on university as backing out of the parking spot can be difficult. When you walk in you'll feel like you've been transported to a New York pizza restaurant. To order you'll walk up to the counter to place your order, the cashier will hand you a number and then you'll select a table to sit at. I highly recommend ordering the calzone here, and staying away from the pizza slices. I haven't quite figured out what it is but the calzone is by far the best item on the menu. I ordered the house calzone which has pepperoni and sausage. If you are looking for a quick bite and a calzone, definitely check out One Guy from Italy.

    One Guy is a Lubbock staple! We went here all the time in college and always make sure to get it when we are in town for a game. The food is always top tier with the best college town vibes! It can be pretty busy on game days but it's always worth the wait!

    This restaurant is a Lubbock staple especially if you go to Tech. The pizza is always really solid, and it's a lot of food when you get it, I always feel full after going here. I went today and the staff were super nice, super kind people and overall great all around. I also like the ambiance of the place it's very Italian and they even have a bunch of godfather posters, which is a great movie. Would highly recommend

    Good pizza. Full stop. It's not fancy by any stretch. The decor looks like it was old 20 years ago but it's a college pizza place right across from campus. Would definitely go back. The calzones looked good.

    Watery noodles with ketchup?

    So disappointing! We had two friends recommend this place. We ordered a supreme on cauliflower crust, hold the green pepper add jalapeno. Arrived without jalapeno and covered in green pepper. Totino's pizza would have been better for what we paid for lunch. We won't even talk about the kid's spaghetti

    I used to eat here when I went to Tech and it was great. I brought my daughter here one night now that she is attending Tech and wanted her to experience this place. We came in about 9pm on a Sunday night. The sign on the door said it was open until midnight. There were several others in the place eating but not a big crowd. I had talked up this place and was excited to share it with my daughter. We ordered a pizza, a calzone and sat where we could watch the football game. The Chiefs were playing and I figured since Patrick Mahomes is a Tech legend the game would be on. We got our food and as we began eating they started stacking the chairs on the tables, turned off the tv's and acted as if they were closing. The food is still good, but the staff was really bad this night. They were rude, of little help, didn't provide what we asked and rushed us out of there. It appeared they had more important things to do.. It was a disappointing experience for me as I had really talked it up. I doubt I will go back after that experience even though it was likely just a bad group of people working that night.

    Chicken Parmesan Sub
    Eric S.

    Very disappointing. I ordered a chicken parmigiana sub and it was inedible. Essentially chicken nuggets on a bun with canned spaghetti sauce. Not worth it unless you have recently eaten an entire bag of gummies from Green Gorilla.

    The house calzone...a house specialty!

    Arguably the best "quick" calzone you can get. Eat it with a fork and knife, hold it in your hand. Pure deliciousness.

RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4 PARKING Free lot and side street parking in a medium-sized plaza. LOCATION/AMBIANCE This is one of two Orlando's in Lubbock, TX. Facing the front outside of the restaurant, the takeout door was to the left & the dine-in entrance to the right. We definitely had fun, casual vibes once inside. Our booth had high backings and views of flatscreens. THE GRUB + Fried Zucchini $9.99 (7/20/2024). Delightfully crispy batter. + Half order of Manicotti $12.99. The meat sauce was very flavorful. + The "Margatini" $8.99. Tons of ice. It was okay. + Potato and Green Chile Soup (came as an option with my meal). Slight kick, but very flavorful! I would get this again in a heartbeat. + Vanilla Italian soda ($3.99). Delish. My daughter got it with her kid's meal. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB Kid's menus are available. One child of mine requested the spaghetti with meat sauce ($7.99). The other kiddo opted for the cheese ravioli with meat sauce ($8.99) which she loved. SERVICE Our hostess back on July 20, 2024, was not all that friendly, but our waitress, Brylee, was. Service was a bit slow at times. MY FAVORITE PART... The fried zucchini. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... The table garlic bread. My kiddos did not like it either. TIP + D-N-D stands for "Down-N-Dirty" at Orlando's which entails "Orlando's garlic spread and lots of Habanero Hot Sauce."

    What...was that?…read more Perhaps that's the issue. I remember what One Guy's used to be. It was formerly a place that I'd recommend to anyone visiting from out of town as a local favorite. It was a place I went when I cared less about convenience and using a coupon for some chain pizza and instead wanted something absolutely delicious. Sadly, it's not that anymore. The salad out front was decent enough, albeit pretty basic and definitely nothing special. The calzone was watery. Yes, watery. I don't even know how or why, but there was an excessive amount of watery liquid coming out of it. The pepperoni pizza was decent enough, but definitely no better than you're going to get from a chain, or (I can't believe I'm saying this) frozen. The sauce was particularly off-putting and gave me a different kind of nostalgia than I thought I would get eating here. It reminded me of eating Chef Boyardee vlin microwavable bowls as a kid. I was told that after taking the leftovers home and trying them the next day, they were even worse reheated. I didn't have that misfortune myself as I was done with it after the meal. The service was adequately good, but there was no crowd like I would have expected, and it's easy to see why. I'm fully aware of the reasons things may have gone a different direction (specifically downhill) at One Guy's and that there are now more options in town. I just hoped that this location still had some of that pizazz that made it special. Sadly, I was disappointed.

It doesn't matter what kind you get, you'll be happy with your choice. The Last Call Pizza deserves it's own paragraph. I think I can confidently say it's my favorite pizza of all time. And the second time I had it, confirmed just that. Look at this description - "Homemade smoky pizza sauce and alfredo sauce, topped with cheese, bacon, sausage, sunny-side-up eggs, and drizzled with our sriracha sauce". It's INCREDIBLE! Can't recommend this place enough, if you're in Lubbock get over here!

As for food... we have been coming here for YEARS, and the consistency in dishes/drinks is not there. It makes me extremely sad, especially when we pay well over $200 each visit. For example- I always get the Chilean Sea Bass- many times it's lightly seared, leaving the fish delicate in tenderness and flavor. Tonight it was like Furr's Cafeteria . It was heavy with oil and the outside was extremely crispy, like a deep fried filet- so discouraging. As for dessert, I was offered a "complimentary" one for my birthday, but was still charged $12.00 for it. I didn't say anything... but really??? I had this same dessert last week, and this week the pretzel crusted bottom was far too buttery and over-powering-- so not only did the "complimentary" birthday dessert cost, it also was not finished. Finally, the evening started with drinks- my choice, an espresso martini. At the bar, the lady asked if I wanted "creamy and sweet" and I said "neither"-- what she gave me was AMAZING! She said if I reordered at the table later to say the same to our waiter, with my name. I did, and ... yikes- not even close to the same flavor. Overall, we love coming here for the atmosphere and waitstaff, but the consistency in quality of food keeps regressing. It truly makes me sad.
