    Soup and pasta. So fresh, so good.
    Eric R.

    Lunch menu update, still so good. We loved the fettuccini Alfredo and soup. The pizza is excellent. Service is great. It's fresh made pizza, so don't come here if you are in a hurry.

    Meat lovers, thin crust
    Dan F.

    Popped in for lunch, what a pleasant surprise! First and foremost, it's a pizza place - you place your order at the counter, pay, then they bring it to your table. We placed our order, walked around the corner to find a table and then realized there's a full on BAR in the adjacent room! Overall it's a classic Italian pizzeria, sports bar atmosphere - but what you need to know is the pizza is GOOD. I had the personal meat lovers on thin crust and it was excellent. We'll be back the next time we're in town.

    Garlic knots

    The redeeming thing about tonight is the company of friends I was with and that the manager refunded a portion of our money because they forgot to give us our order of chicken wings. Apparently, there was a misunderstanding because they saw two orders of wings on the table (that belonged to our two friends) and only served us our garlic knots without our order of wings. They did not check or collect the numbers assigned to the separate orders and just assumed we received all the wings we had ordered. Our friends waited patiently for our food to arrive before starting to eat, but it took so long that their two orders of wings were cold after they finally brought out ours. The wings were just okay in my opinion - hot and charred when they did finally arrived. The manager politely apologized for the hour we were waiting and refunded us for the wings. She asked us if we needed ranch and we said yes, but the dressing never came, so we ended up using our friends' ranch. The garlic knots were definitely better than the wings, but be aware they were the size of pretzel bites. The restaurant was noticably busy tonight with a lot of dine-in and take-out orders and inexperienced staff members contributed to our less than great experience. If you prefer a quieter meal, I don't suggest trying the restaurant on a busy weekend or during a television sports event.

    Fresh salad.

    Another great pizza meal from Wise Guys. Delicious pepperoni pie, yummy garlic knots, fresh salad.

    We had 4 adults and all loved the food and the blood orange beer. Atmosphere is spot on, food is fabulous and staff is always friendly. Shout out to Max who helped us out and made our evening that much better!!! Thank you Max!!

    We love Wise Guys. When friends come to town it's always a required visit to share our favorite local pizza spot with others. My Hot Honey with extra pepperoni, might be perfection! For years this was our Sunday night date spot. We had Wise Guys cater our wedding reception. We are truly your biggest fans and supporters. We love your friendly staff, great pizza, and solid beer selection. Some evenings I get a craving and go by myself to have a couple pints while I wait for a to-go pizza. Or after a bike ride we like to get a pitcher or two and a pizza. Of course most restaurant prices have crept up since covid times. I get that. For the most part I'm happy to pay a premium to help keep our favorite pizza place in business so they can afford to take care of their amazing staff. But $12 beer is where I draw the line. When pint prices jumped to $9 we started to realize our bill was getting awful expensive. We would still try to visit once a week or so but no longer could we justify 2+ visits a week. And when we do go we usually just have 1 beer instead of 2-3 beers. Now with our usual beers peaking at $12 a pint or $30 for a pitcher (~7% west coast not a 13% stout or anything) I'm considering dropping to zero beers per visit. I just can't possibly justify vegas prices at a local pizza place. I'll have a root beer next time. I love you guys and can't even bring myself to leave a less than 5 star review. But I promise you this is a bad marketing decision that will result in far fewer beers sold, but more importantly this will erode loyal guest frequency, and overall create negative sentiment and a depleted value proposition.

    Documentation of the second call and a very nice review for the associate by the name of Zak.
    Terry M.

    I am documenting this. I called back again at 5:30 as instructed by the girl that hung up on me. I spoke to an associate by the name of Zak. He was professional. He was courteous and he took my order. The point of this follow up review is to be fair. Hirer good people and they give good service. Hire people who wanna hang up on people and you get bad reviews. The net net is that Zak is a keeper.

    Great pizza
    Brian G.

    First, the staff members who were working that day were incredibly helpful, can't say enough about how good the service was. We had 3 pizzas, wings and lasagna, all were 5 STARS. First time there and we will be back.

    I'm surprised I haven't written a review here yet! My husband and I are becoming quite the regulars…read morehere so this is definitely past due! This is one of our go-to date spot that our friends introduced to us to. From my understanding this is Italian owned business with not only great quality food but also a wonderful assortment of rich olive oil, balsamic vinegar, jam, wine, packaged noodles you can buy straight from Italy. The service is always friendly but they can get very busy. Highly recommend a reservation. They've been so busy before they wouldn't even do take out orders. Ambiance is quaint. I love the beautiful Italian chandeliers they have. I've had a hard time with the chairs if I have a thick coat or a clutch hand back hard to put on the seat My husband orders the carbonara everytime which is our favorite item on the menu. Very authentic to us. I've tried many different pastas and just tried the lasagna last night which is not super heavy if your hesitant on feeling too full, was a great portion amount and wasn't super greasy either. Other items I've tried are the but my favorites are the fettuccine Alfredo (not on the menu), the short rib ravioli - super tasty!, and this mozerella crusted Pattie's in balsamic and creamy tomato sauce (seasonal or not on the menu sometime) that we love! I wanted to love the seafood risotto but I've had better. I used to order paccheri alla boscaiola which a popular item but I have to be in the mood for all the red onions which can be overpowering if there's a lot. We have tried some Of the apps which are always super fresh but we tend to order insalata calabrese which has a bit of everything Italian salad and great for sharing. The free bread is a plus too. Highly recommend coming for date night, family night, or even a small special occasion. Thanks for the great food and service!

I…read morestill remember the old deli that was there prior to this restaurant and I've seen numerous social media ads and posts about the place so I wanted to check it out. I think I was a little hesitant because in my head I was thinking how good could possibly really be? In my head spaghetti/pasta is something I can make it home and almost thought it a waste of money to go out of my way to go out specifically to eat this dish. I ordered the Arrabiata pasta with the sausage. I'll admit I was a little thrown off by added cost of each tolling and also added cost of the Arrabiata sauce and I also did wait until a fair amount before the food was ready for takeout. But the pasta really blew me away. I'm still thinking about how good it tasted. I would definitely come back and I actually wanna bring my dad who loves spicy pasta like this. It was really that good. I can't think of another place that has this level of pasta let alone this price. The only negative I would say in regards to one of the workers. The cashier was manned by wonderful woman who did every and all tasks from taking the orders to putting food items in the oven to answering the phone I'm probably much more than that. I don't know. In contrast there was an Asian man with a black shirt who was also working. He looked lost and completely helpless. There was a moment where this woman was so busy and there was a ringing that I assume was from either a phone call or a delivery order. This man did not offer to help more nor did he help from what I saw. He was utterly helpless and unhelpful. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt with the encouragement "Hey help your team out!" The woman on the other hand was doing so many things simultaneously and yet was really kind at the same time. Anyways, I'm giving my review of a five star because I wanna see this place succeed and I'll definitely come back .
