    Plastic cups and straws
    Amanda B.

    The line was long at Pelly's and we had a time crunch so we decided to try Primo Pizza. The bad: -Dirty af -Not made in house desert is $7 (cheesecake, brownie, cake) -Not thin enough pizza to be called "NY style" -still use plastic cups, lids and straws The good: -pizza had a good taste -pizza by the slice special -lots of shared seating outside -Lots of parking behind the building -across from a dog grooming place so you see doggies Wouldn't recommend.

    Great pie!

    A beautiful family run business. Lots of parking and tremendous service. Tonight I ordered a pizza with half that my wife loves everything on and my half was just two items. My wife's half was spectacular, she even said they know how to please a woman. It had more vegetables on it than we've ever seen on a pizza. Thank you, Prima for making my wife happy. Mine was good too, and the meatballs are really good. Local spot that you kinda have to find in the back of the shopping center, but do yourself a favor and find it. Really good prices, great service and easy, free parking.

    Fettuccini Pollo
    Sarah B.

    Looking for pasta after a day in LegoLand and Yelp brought us here. It was great! No fuss ordering. Food came out fresh and quick. We ordered the Pollo artichoke hearts, Fettuccini Pollo and the Chicken Parmigiana, with sides green salad. The homemade bread was so yummy, should have asked for more. The green salad with the creamy Italian dressing was good, salad was fresh and crunchy. A little bit over dressed for me, but it was good nonetheless. Pasta was cooked great and sauces were delicious. Serving sizes were perfect too.. no left overs or wasted food. Place was clean and inviting. Service was great. Two thumbs up!

    Read a review and said that you sell pies. What kind do you sell?

    Hi Tony! The only pies we sell are pizza pies but we do have some tasty cakes! Check our website for the dessert menu.

    Do you have any gluten free options?

    My apologies for the late reply- yes we do!

    Is this fantastic?

    No. They took my money twice, once in cash then on my card. I wanted to give tip on card. They called me a liar & said it made more sense to put pizza on card & tip with cash. It's the opposite of what I was doing. I didn't have enough cash for tip…

After walking through the vendors and enjoying the atmosphere, it's nice to sit down on the patio with an espresso martini and dinner. I've had the lasagna a few times, and it's always baked perfectly with layers of pasta, meat, cheese, and a rich tomato sauce. The shrimp fettuccine is another dish I enjoy the shrimp are cooked just right, and the creamy sauce coats the pasta without feeling too heavy. The pear salad is fresh and refreshing, although I wouldn't mind seeing a slightly larger portion. What keeps me coming back is the overall experience. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, the staff is attentive without making you feel rushed, and it's a great place to slow down and enjoy a meal.

Blake was our server and him and the whole restaurant staff were absolutely incredible that evening. Very cohesive, nothing messed up, phenomenal service, and I could go on! I am the only vegetarian here, and asked if their pasta was normally cooked in chicken broth. Blake checked and let me know all pasta is cooked in olive oil and definitely vegetarian friendly! I had about 2 to 4 cocktails and all of them were delicious. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food, half of the table was doing family style eating. We ordered a lot of food. The complimentary bread, oil, and butter they gave us was also soo good! I would absolutely love to come here again. Blake, our server was such a wonderful person!

Brought us everything we asked for quickly (extra ice, parm & red pepper flakes, drink refills,etc).

I got the chicken & sun dried tomato white pizza - excellent - and shared with a friend. My side salad was large enough to be an entree. Everyone at the table made yummy noises & agreed we would be back. It's a real test of a restaurant's skill to serve a large group, and Del Lusso passed with flying colors. We had reasonable wait times, received hot food, the server was top notch, and check processing was quick. The only issue was that on a 90°+ day the landlord refused to turn off the giant fire feature & nearly roasted us to death. Landlords do t care about customers & this guy was being a jerk just to be a jerk. Everything else far exceeded our expectations! I will be going again & our neighbors have already agreed that Del Lusso will be on our rotation for future dine out events.

We were seated in a small room off the main dining area, and we were the only ones in the room. Our waiter was friendly, but he was also taking care of tables in the main dining area, so we were often left on our own without anyone checking in on us. It also took quite a while before we were able to place our order. I ordered one of the mushroom pasta dishes, and unfortunately, I found it to be lacking in flavor. Someone else in our party ordered one of the specials, a steak, and that looked absolutely delicious. Overall, I was hoping for a better experience, especially since we were celebrating a birthday. While our waiter was nice, the slow service and lack of flavor in my meal left me unimpressed. Based on this experience, I don't think I would return.

This title was briefly held by Kavos Taverna in Mykonos, Greece where I visited last year. Good job Eugenio. The octopus was unbelievably tender and super flavorful. Food was excellent. Variety was enormous (huge menu). Execution was pretty spot on. I made a comment at the table, "Eugenio certainly knows how to cook" as everything brought to the table was full of flavor, texture, plentiful and well seasoned, although the prosciutto and mushroom pizza was less than desirable. The pie had ham instead of prosciutto, and the overall pie, I would not order again. Much better pizza elsewhere (very, very nearby along Lake San Marcos). Service was good, but not without flaw. We waited until the entire supper was consumed, yet waited and waited for the not really very good, (I think it was a "special") short rib onion soup of sort to come out. We never got our beet salad. Eugenio's food was that good. Lots of flavor. Lots of texture. Not without the hiccups as most kitchens experience. Try it out. Get reservations because it is very small inside and out. I've got a feeling we will be having more Italian food here. Cutely decorated inside too. CritDicks
