We have been here several times and have never been disappointed. We ordered the big pizza to have leftover for Super Bowl, We also recommend the Ravioli and garlic knots! I would pack up the soup and take home because the serving is enough to fill you up!! Love this place, Give it a try!! read more

I ordered pick up for my husband and I's weekly jeopardy night and was quite frankly underwhelmed... the food was decent but the staff was inconsiderate and agressive to say the least. The owner seemed on edge and was loud and angry towards his workers. we ordered one chicken parm and one veal parm and we're told it would only be 20 minutes. after 50 minutes of waiting we finally got our order and it was cold. I don't care if the business is understaffed, we should not wait that long for a simple meal that is meant to make my husband and I's Friday night. very upsetting when I've heard good things. we will be taking our business elsewhere read more

The food is great, my wife and I love it here. Great selection, fresh ingredients, and great service. You won't be disappointed.

We went to the New Middleton restaurant. Food was great and staff very nice. We recommend to everyone. New and bright place with lot so parking. read more

me beeing from new york city and now living in ohio this has been the best pizza it have that taste and externally good five stars love it

I ordered two salads for carry out. I was told a half hour wait. Got there on time and proceeded to wait in their terribly arranged shack of a "restaurant" for an additional 40 minutes. Again, TWO salads. I asked for some type of compensation for my time and was denied because they were "busy." No one is too busy to make two salads without taking an hour and ten minutes. Salads were subpar at best with way too many onions. From my experience don't waste your time and money. Belleria is better. read more

Ordered on line, was told it would be 60 minutes. Arrived a few minutes early, food was ready. Short drive home and the food was all cold. The cheese on the pizza had already solidified. The eggplant parm sandwich came highly recommended, but was very disappointing. The bun was nothing but ordinary, the sandwich lacked much sauce or cheese. Overall pretty expensive for the meal. Extra cheese on a medium pizza was $5.50. Not in any hurry to give this place another try, too many good Italian restaurants in the area too spend my money here. read more

On Saturday, we made our first trip to PaPa GeGe's. It was beyond excellent. The food is AMAZJNG. I especially loved the marinara and the imported angel hair. We had veal, and it was so tender, that you could cut it with just a fork. We will be back this week to try something different. It's the best Italian food I have ever had, and I consider myself a foodie. We eat out all the time!! Bravo to GeGe and his staff!!! read more

This pains me to write this. Have been a loyal customer for years. The food is some of the best in town. However, the service is horrible. It's not the staff. They do their best. But they are severely understaffed. You should not have to wait an hour for your order. The same person taking orders, ringing out customers, cleaning tables, and serving food. Does not work. Watching tables get their food one meal at a time. Have to reheat my take out order because nothing comes out together. PaPa, you need to figure this out. read more

Just so so. I don't know what style to say that it is but you go to the register order and pay and then get yourself a drink and sit down. They will bring the food out to you. Food wasn't bad but I do feel there is better alternatives in the area. read more

Authentic,good, Super busin food Garlic nots are beautiful and majesticly delicious Service was good The red cherry soda was yummy The restaurant is good If I was from not out of town I would eat here a lot , but sadly I live 2 hours away The guy cooking the pizza was cool and it went right out of the oven directly to your plate in probobly under 15 seconds 5 stars read more

This place has much more than pizza. Stopped into this place because I had to be in town for a family event. Considered pizza, given the name, but the menu was extensive. I ordered the cavatelli dinner with a meatball. And I got also a nice side salad, enough cavarelli for two people, two meatballs and garlic knots. And not just garlic knots, but warm, garlicky, cheesy fresh garlic knots. I ended up also getting a couple of pepperoni rolls to go. I loved my dinner and have lunch for today as well. Next time I'm in town, I'll remember to come back! read more

Great Italian food in a laid back, local/family owned spot! We always try to come here when we are back in town! A local favorite.

My first time at an Italian Village, and honestly I would be fine if I never visited one again. I wish I could turn back the hands of time and just continue to have the good thoughts in my head of what I imagined it to be, or what friends and family bragged about. Maybe it's just this location, but this first Impression made it bad for all other locations, in my opinion! First off, I called to place a take out order and was immediately placed on hold. This was a Thursday at 6:14pm. I didn't think they would be that busy on a Thursday, but apparently they were. I found this out because they told me my order would be ready for pick up in 25 minutes, and 1 hour and 2 minutes later it was finally ready to be bagged and sent out the door with me. The woman at the counter said right after my order they got swamped. I can understand that but over an hour for a take out order?? I could see if it was delivery, and that time included driving to my house! But, my reason for the second star is because of the friendliness of the employees. But that's where the goodness stopped. When we got home and opened the food, I began to inspect everything to verify it was what I ordered, and I couldn't help but notice everything was cold, and looked like it was sitting for a while before it was bagged up. The slice of pizza looked dried out, my pepperoni rolls were overcooked, my pasta and banana peppers were cold as ice, my garlic knots were burnt, and my salad was wilted and had huge pieces of Iceberg lettuce. The salad dressing container was also less than half full. For $40 this was not worth it at all!! I could have went to Wendy's across the street, and thoroughly enjoyed a spicy chicken sandwich, add onion meal, small with a sprite. But instead, I chose to waste $40 and still be hungry afterwards. I just don't understand how everything was cold and overcooked, when it was supposedly just made. There are many other bad reviews, so clearly this chain, or just the location needs some attention. read more

Oh. Em. Gee. This place has some of the best food we've eaten in a long time AND they deliver. The funny thing is that "pizza" is in their name and it is awful. We got it three times and it was overdone and lacking cheese. Coccas, Wedgewood or Westgate are all better, more flavorful pizza. Also "meh" was the baked ziti, which lacked flavor and ricotta. Chicken parm sandwich is hit or miss, sometimes grisley and mistakenly sent with buffalo sauce. Now to the good stuff. Cheese fries are the best ever...even 5 miles away delivery. Gooey, creamy cheese sauce and crispy fries that are like McDonald's. Do it. You're welcome. Pepperoni rolls are dabomb.com. perfect cheese, pep and dough ratio with butter and a parm garlic topping. The meatball sub, gyro, stromboli and philly steak hoagie are all very good. We have only lived in the area since July (it's October) and have eaten here at least 10-15 times. Consistently good and fresh and affordable. If their pizza were better and online ordering not flawed/inconsistent, it would be a 5 star. read more

An order of stuffed banana peppers....Half of what looks like a bell pepper, cheese, smothered with sauce, and 4 soggy garlic knots. It says PEPPERS but you only get one?? The best part is I paid $17 for a large pizza with pepperoni and a scarce amount of cheese lol. Not worth the money. Go elsewhere. read more

Decent food, terrible service. I ordered online around 6:20, showed up at 6:50 and was told it would be a few more minutes. 7:15 I finally got my food. No apology. No explanation. I also overheard one employee telling another to make up an excuse to a customer on the phone who had been waiting over an hour for a delivery remake that they messed up the first time. And they honestly didn't seem that busy to me. You can see into the ovens, there were only a couple pizzas in. I don't know what the problem was tonight, but I will not be returning. read more

this place is a great family area it is one of those restraints where you crave it every once in a while and the food never disappoints it is always hot and fresh when it comes out. The service there is unbelievable everyone is so welcoming and nice, when you walk in you get greeted right away. the area is clean and cozy, you have lots of seating options and overall it's a great place to eat at read more

Hadn't had it in a while and was craving some Italian Village!! When I got home, my fettuccine Alfredo looked good, however it was flavorless. No garlic taste, no cheese flavor just bland pasta in cream. The usually tasty garlic knots were hard a rock. I swear they change the pasta dish container sizes every time I order Togo( always smaller and smaller). One thing I will say is the house Italian salad dressing is always amazing. I'll definitely, eventually give it another go, since I'm not usually this disappointed in IV, and don't want to just take this trip and never return to give it another go. read more

I know it's weird to get a gyro from an italian place but I really wanted one. To bad my meat was so burnt it was crunchy and like jerky. Maybe their pizza is good but I'll never know because I wont be back. read more

Exceptional Italian food, the rigatoni is delicious! Hand tossed pizza in front of you from scratch, hot garlic knots, friendly staff what more can you ask for! read more

I came back for another visit. This time, I chose the rigatoni and meatball dinner. It came with a generous sized salad and three garlic bread knots. Everything was delicious! The sauce on the pasta was perfect, salad was fresh and the garlic knots had just come out of the oven. This is a store front location... Nothing fancy, just real good Italian food. read more

Very disappointed, $5 for a small pre-rolled pure greasy pepperoni roll that WAS NOT EVEN COOKED ALL THE WAY (dough on the inside is definitely not cooked compared to the outside, also was not warm) & 10 french fries... Love their pizza but will not being going here for pepperoni rolls anymore. read more

Absolutely delicious! The pizza is the best in the area! The spinach rolls are fantastic. We love the ravioli and pastas. We love this place and have been going here for years. It was just after a recent trip where we tried something new that I realized I had to write a review - if you haven't tried the polenta, you must! Just creamy and perfect. Perfetto! read more

We sat down and ordered a 12-in Sicilian. In the meantime, the lady took an order and left the customers on hold too long so the owner, the guy with white curly hair, slams the phone down in front of everyone like a hothead. We get our pizza and it is burnt, but hothead owner says it's how he eats it and it's ok, so we take it home and end up eating the middle out of it. We go back a few weeks later and order the same thing, 12-in Sicilian; They mistakenly make us a 16-in sheet pizza which looks like a greasy, cheesy nightmare that nobody could eat outside of a college dorm. I say this isn't what we want, and they say jokingly that we will have enough for leftovers. I call my wife and she calls back and says she doesn't want this, and we want our small pizza like we ordered. The girl apologizes and offers to make a new one. My wife calls back to set up the time, and the hothead owner gets on and says that the big pizza is the same as the little one and we should be happy. My wife explains how there is a difference in the grease and cheese of a small pizza and a giant sheet pizza; the hothead owner argues about us costing him ingredients but eventually decides to make another. We get there and the owner is not present, but the new pizza is and it's so greasy that it melted a hole through the box on the way home like a wet paper towel (picture). Plenty of other pizza places in town without the grease and anger. Seems to be a trend reading the other negative reviews on Facebook. read more

Wow I mean WOW the food here is awesome I had the eggplant parmesan hoagie and just WOW it was amazing!

Will definitely be back again, delicious Italian food and have to order fried dough for dessert!

Greasy, cheesy, and does the job. Garlic knots are very good. The come fully saturated with all the required goodness. They actually have good crust as well. This is my favorite style of pizza, but that doesn't means it isn't good. I think most everyone will enjoy it. read more

If I could give a 0 star I would. I've ordered once prior to this without an issue. But this took the cake & I'll never order there again. My food was almost an hr late. When called about the whereabouts the manager/owner wasn't so nice. But stated the driver should be here any minute. 10 mins later we called back & he was very rude, then hung up on mid conversation. Once we received the food, it was TERRIBLE. The sandwiches were soggy, semi cold. The zucchini fries & cheese fries were cold along with the Stromboli & Eggplant Parm. Not to mention the zucchini fries were so burnt it's as if the zucchini dried up & it was just burnt breadcrumbs. Spent a little over $60 & $5.99 of it was eatable. Extremely disappointed, can't believe the ignorance & it NEVER has taken that long. Mind you I've ordered on a very busy day prior. They definitely lost my business & will spread the word as people do when they've had any experience with any business, I feel ignorance with a company & this experience doesn't deserve customers, especially spending so much money. read more

My husband and I were looking for a local Pizza place and stumbled upon this place. I know this area loves their Brier Hill, Pizza "sheets" and thicker pan crust...but us being east coast natives, we missed NYC style. This place does not disssapoint! My kiddos love it too! Quality sauce, cheese and other toppings. The steak and cheese pizza can get a liiiitle salty but it is still very good if you are looking for something with meat. We've also had the garlic knots, calzones and strombolis all very good! Not to mention the owner is so nice and that makes all the difference in service, you always leave with a smile on your face dining in or taking out. Our favorite Pizza spot :) read more

Ordered ahead of time but had to wait 40 minutes once I got there because it wasn't ready. When I got back to the office, we discovered our pizzas were burnt! We called them, and they said the couldn't do anything about it!! Won't be back EVER! read more

We have ordered from Italian village many times and we usually enjoy the food. It can be inconsistent at times. However, the last time we ordered was on a week day at 145. They said 20 minutes and it wasn't ready when we arrived. They took the credit card and said they would be right out with it. Well, they brought back the card but no food. Another 20 minutes later asked why it wasn't ready and some guy in jeans came out and yelled at us saying we need to calm down and wait. At this point it was 240, so we just asked for a refund since we couldn't wait any longer and he said there was no way we were getting a refund. Seriously? They charged us for a pizza we never got. We will NEVER order from them again. That is bad business! read more

I have always liked their pizza. However when i ordered this evening it came with the cheese all slid off. When i called i was told thats what happens when you order double cheese. Ive been ordering pizza for decades and never had one like this. I was then told they would make me a new one but without extra cheese. So i have to wait another hr or so and still pay for something that im now not getting? read more

We ordered three large pizzas for lunch for our office - was told 40 minutes, upon arriving waited an additional 20-30 minutes. Upon arriving back at the office - found all three pizzas were burnt on the bottom and dry on the top. Called them and was told NOTHING could be done, because no one in authority was in, took my information and was promised a call back - I followed up for four days and received again NOTHING for the fact that the pizza was not able to be eaten. Didn't feel like they were much about quality control and maybe more about quantity. If you have a tight lunchtime schedule would not go here, as I spent my whole lunch waiting and driving, then could not even eat the pizza due to quality of the food. read more

Best pizza in town! Crisp crust, sauce is the perfect blend and they use mozzarella cheese!! My favorite place for pizza!!

Love this place! They have great pizza pies and other food. Everyone who works here is friendly enough but t for the most part, as a customer, you don't have to deal with the staff too much. The man who makes the pizza, he looks like Harvey Keitel and he remembers you if you come in more than one time. It's a great place to go and eat! The price isn't bad at all too. read more
