The service was excellent and food was really good! It is a small place retro type place had a great vibe. At first I wasn't sure about it because of the size however I was very pleasantly surprised at how good it was. read more

Unassuming little location with the BEST Stromboli, rotel cheese sticks, and cookie dough balls Staff was amazingly friendly and we are already looking forward to our next trip to town to visit again! read more

I was heartbroken when this place closed so you could imagine my excitement when I was back in Starkville recently and it was open again. I've never gotten anything here that wasn't delicious. It was super hot that day so it was nice to eat inside as well. read more

Best pizza in the golden triangle. Great service. Highly recommend. Really good. I drive extra just for this pizza

Overpriced, but definitely a Starkville staple and the best slice in town. I hope they will expand soon to offer more seating.

The best authentic Italian foods in Starkville MS. Outside seatings were super nice as well. Very enjoyable and recommended read more

The best food! I wish I would have taken a picture before I ate. The owner is so kind! I wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars! Definitely the best lunch spot in town! read more

While I would not call Stromboli's the most authentic of Italian establishments, I must take in consideration that I have rarely found very good Italian in the southeastern United States. The service here is friendly oh, but I would rate the food possibly at mediocre. I am still giving it four stars with the consideration that it has a Cool vibe and the food compared to other places in the south is not terrible. read more

Disappointing. Mediocre food. Staff (probably the owner) is unfriendly. The "vibe" others rave about is just a way of covering up a relatively dirty restaurant. Yuck. read more

Every college town has a pizza place that is unique to that town. Starkville is unique because it is a big SEC school in a small Southern town. Stromboli's is Mississippi State's "pizza place". The Pizza: It is a sweet golden crust that has a little crunch on the outside and warm delicate dough on the inside. The red sauce is awesome a lot of flavor without being overly spicy. The pepperoni is awesome. I wonder if they buy it from a food vendor or if they get it from a local butcher. Very tasty. The Place: It is a hole in the wall and I mean that in the most loving of ways! It is a small place with a small parking lot. I must say that I went a couple of times before I finally got in the door. I finally went during an MSU basketball game. When everyone else was at the game. It is a homey place with lots of memorabilia that ranges from 80s music icons to MSU swag. It had a lovely man cave quality. Like most of Starkville, everyone knows everyone...but I was treated like family even though I didn't know a soul in the place. Advice: Don't miss this place. Call in and get a to go order even if they are busy it will not take too long. I've I had been in town longer, I would have been a regular. read more

Stromboli's Italian Eatery - Pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Starkville, Mississippi

Love the location and great prices. Servers were friendly. Had the lunch special a pepperoni calzone. My daughter had a Stromboli. Very sweet dough. Cheese , sauce and pepperoni were very bland and I could Tell not higher quality. But I guess You do get what you pay for. read more

Ok, so I'll admit it, my Brooklyn was ok. Could've used a smidge of sauce inside the actual Calzone. Sure glad I ordered another cup of sauce, should've been 2. Dough was tasty. But the real problem was my wife's = the Monday special = Pepperoni & Cheese Stromboli. Our order took quite a while for take out, like 30 min after ordering in person, but hey, it's COVID-19, let's support the businesses. The problem arrives when we get to the hotel to chow down and despite my wife's takeout box being labeled 'Pep' there was not a slice to be found on this thing. A cheese Stromboli = gross. We called to have that item credited back and they said no dice. Wouldn't even give us "credit" so to speak for a future corrected Stromboli. Said if we can't bring the bad one back for a swap out right now, they can't do anything about it. Morale = check your order before leaving, cuz they aren't doing shot when they screw up...... read more

I'm super super disappointed. I ordered baked ziti and it's way over cooked and it's not baked like at all. But the garlic bread was super good and the white stuff was incredibly nice! But I highly don't recommend the ziti... read more

Stromboli's Italian Eatery - Delicious pizza - Pizza Near Me - Starkville, Mississippi

I swung in here on a whim as I was out hunting for dinner. The staff seemed really happy and friendly. The dining area was cozy. Parking was a little tight. I was not overly impressed with the stromboli. It was a little on the doughy side and the cheese overpowered the whole thing. The meat was pretty much flavorless. Honestly though it was something I would do again if I was driving by and was not looking for anything in particular. read more

So, I have to start by saying that Im from Philadelphia, PA so I know what a Stromboli is supposed to be and taste like. Stromboli gives you a slight glimpse of what a real Stromboli is supposed to be. My Stromboli was tasty but it wanes in comparison to the real thing..... sorry guys but nice try . read more

We had been recommended to Stromboli's when we took our daughter down to Starkeville on a college tour (Hail State!), and we found it easily. Plenty of folks inside and a cool and original atmosphere inside and out. We are outside because our group size was 7, and there were plenty of seats outside, and a nice shady area. I think their signature piece is the sourdough crust, and it is superb. However, I think I'm their efforts to keep the dough soft they undercook the pizza and the calzones. My calzone was tasty but lacked the crispiness I look for on the outside. We also had a cheese pizza and it had the same issue: just a couple more minutes in the oven and it would have been better. read more

Yes. Always say yes to Stromboli's! I visited Starkville this weekend from out of town, and this is my go to restaurant hands down. The pizza is amazing - a sweet puffed up crust and just the right amount of sauce. The calzones are also a good choice! I love the speciality options like the chicken ranchero or the fav. The service is always great even when they are packed! Seating is extremely limited - only about 10 or so tables, so it can be tricky to dine in during prime times. But on pretty days outdoor seating is a great option, and they run a special on one topping carry out pizzas. I highly suggest saving room for dessert so you can place an order of cookie dough bites! Cookie dough wrapped up in the sweet pizza dough drizzled with powdered sugar and a chocolate sauce for dipping purposes. Wow! Coming to Stromboli's is like coming home to Starkville. read more

Stromboli's Italian Eatery - Chicken ranchero calzone - Pizza Near Me - Starkville, Mississippi

I really enjoyed the pizza, but here are some insights that may help. I asked for a side of the sauce since I am the kind of person who thinks that pizza is mainly a medium for getting the red stuff inside. I tried the sauce alone a few times with a cracker, the crust and on a spoon and I swear it has a touch of chili powder in it. Stick with me here, because this works. The crust is very light and reminded me a lot of a simple yeast roll. It is easy to pull apart and a touch sweet with what seemed like some sort of garlic butter brushed on it. This is where the sauce with that hint of chili powder taste comes in, because it diminishes the sweetness of the dough. The touch of spice is just enough to even out the sweetness of the dough. If that hadn't have done it the pepperoni would have taken care of it with its full flavor and welcome lack of grease. All in all it was a really solid pie in a comfortable college pizza joint atmosphere. I will be back. read more

Stromboli's Italian Eatery - Went with a large pepperoni. - Pizza Near Me - Starkville, Mississippi

Probably one of the better Italian places in starkvegas. Small and cool vibes from the place. They say they give all credit card tips to mission trip, but I don't care if they do or don't, this place is good. I don't care for calzones but they have good dough so that makes them bearable. I like their stuffed ravioli. They have a good crust on them and are full of flavor. My girl got their spaghetti with meat sauce. Sauce was heart and reminded me of my grandmothers. They use Italian sausage in it like it should have. The Stromboli bites are a great appetizer. read more

Love this food so much! The employees are always so very kind which adds to the sweet atmosphere of the restaurant!

Ate here at locals' recommendation and because it had good Yelp reviews... Pizza crust was doughy and overly sweet, marinara was scant and watered down. I couldn't even taste the seasoning in the stromboli. Tried their pimento cheese bread sticks because the waitress gushed about them. Literally just cheese sticks with some chopped pimento on top. That's all. Tiny dining room and parking lot. Staff was college aged kids that barely paid attention to us. Not a fan. read more

Not sure about food taste but was greeted as we were not even halfway across parking lot and told couldn't park there if not eating there

A-OK in my book! After seeing great reviews and craving a calzone, I stopped in to make my own custom calzone with ricotta, meatballs, and sausage. The flavors of the meat and cheese are killer, and that sweet dough kind of reminds me of a pretzel in a way. Yum! I will say that they were not filled that much though (mostly dough)- usually I love calzones because they are mostly filling so I can eat half of one and have the rest for another meal. Because it was small, it's pretty much the size of half a typical calzone (with a lot of excess dough). I was really sad at the skimpy marinera serving size to dip my calzone in, and even more shocked to find that it was cold! Who wants cold sauce on their warm food?? Big no-no. I ended the meal with a cannoli, which was good despite the minimal chocolate chips in the filling and the Americanized addition of a Hershey's chocolate sauce drizzle. Overall, a solid place to get a quick meal in the area! read more

The hot chick calzone or pizza is the way to go! It's always been a great place to eat since the day I got to town.

The portions are small, but the calzone is absolutely delicious! The dough was amazing by itself. And as a vegetarian, I loved that I could pick lots of vegetables in the Veggie Calzone. read more

This place has been around for a long while and once you visit you'll know why. It's a little hole in the wall place but the food is amazing. It gets busy but worth it, the Stromboli is pretty close to the best I've had. read more

Its a been few years since we have eating there, been craving a good Calzone for lunch for a while. So ordered the one with Italian sausage, peppers & onions Worst Calzone ever put in my mouth, under cooked & too sweet pizza dough. Flat as a pancake with a few lumps of meat , peppers onions. dumping salt & pepper and marinara sauce trying to save it no help lol . Back to the Lost Pizza Co. for my calzones. read more

This is a fun local place. My sister brought me here after her college graduation. The facility is very small. 10 small tables, maybe. It is a fun atmosphere that you can tell locals really enjoy. The best thing we ate were the cookie dough bites! Past that the food is ok. The real star is their dough. I could have just eaten crust and been super happy. The pizza itself is ok. Not bad but not amazing either. The price may seem a little big for pizza but when you consider that they make the dough fresh, the price seem fair. Fun place to visit but not somewhere I'm itching to return to...unless I'm just eating cookie dough bites and crust! read more

Finally got a chance to experience all the hoopla. Disappointed aside from hanging out outside on a warm spring day. Had a veggie calzone. Advertised as calzone stuffed with 5 veggies of my choice and cheese. Pretty much a small cheese pizza folded over flat with basically nothing inside. It had cheese and I think I saw a small piece of broccoli and I might have tasted an onion or pepper slice. The place appears busy with lots of food pickups but not sure what the attraction is. Sorry guys. Place is not a come back for me. read more

Listen, they have great food; however, at least 30 minutes (probably more than that!!!!!!!!) to close they take their phone off the hook so you cannot place to-go orders. They will lie to you and say you can place orders till close, but in reality you have to come to the restaurant, place the order, and then wait in your car. A bunch of lazy bums!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I don't know, y'all. I feel like I can't go to MSU and not be a rabid Stromboli'a fan, but I'm not. The place is very, very tiny, which in some ways is endearing--but is also frustrating given the MASSIVE demand for seats and tables. Turnover is not very quick at all, which doesn't help. I'm not a huge fan of the pizza; there's nothing inherently wrong with it but the pizza sauce is VERY sweet, which is just not my style. The highlights are the ravioli, which can be overcooked but usually aren't, and the cookie dough bites. If for nothing else, go for those. Except once I found a long, black hair on mine. But really--they are good. read more

No sauce. Dry and the bread is much too sweet. The cheese tastes like plastic.

After getting my wife's wheelchair out of the trunk, helping her to struggle from the car to the wheelchair, and then rolling her up to the front door, a woman *who was wearing no mask at all* came to the door and would not allow us inside to dine. So I then had to wheel my wife back to the car, help her struggle from her wheelchair back into the car, and then put the wheelchair back in the trunk. We left to go find a real restaurant. I used to come here often but I won't be back. read more

Stromboli's never disappoints! The sweet dough that they use for their pizza's and calzones is what makes them so good! I can't recommend enough. read more

Wasn't impressed. I did not like the vibe of the restaurant although I realize that it was supposed to be part of the experience. It was way too crowded and chaotic. Everyone's food was mediocre. They wouldn't take any money off the chef salad when I asked them to remove the meat. Without the meat it was basically the same ingredients as the totaled salad which was about 5 dollars cheaper. read more
