Driving to Yuma and stopped based on the yelp reviews. Was worth the stop. Pizza and the calzone were very good. If you find yourself in the desert on I8 and need food I can recommend this eatery. Now the service could be slow depending on how many people are working. Â The staff was very friendly and lots of local were eating dinner. Â Knew we had found a good place to take a break. Â Worth the stop when you are in Gila Bend.
Review Source:After a long, frustrating day trying to get our RV serviced in Tucson, we made it to Gila Bend around 6 pm and went to Little Italy with our friends. We were tired, but the food and service here cheered us up right away. Three of us had Chicken Marsala. The two women took half of it home for another meal since it was such a plentiful amount, and all of us enjoyed it immensely. The 4th person had Chicken Parmesan and rated it yummy as well. Service was prompt and just often enough that we didn't have to ask for more water or anything else, but not so often that we couldn't enjoy conversation. Highly Recommended!
Review Source:Based on Yelp reviews I dined here for dinner while passing through. Â It's clean and well lit. Â While I wouldn't choose this place for ambiance per se, that's not what I was looking for, I was looking for good food and I found it. Â I ordered a penne pasta with Salmon which had excellent flavor. Â The bread was a sesame seed roll and was quite tasty. Â The salad was a bit wilted and the Italian dressing was horrible. Â It was a very thick, viscuous very commercial tasting blob. Â Based on reviews I would have expected something much better. Â This would not stop me fromr returning, I just wouldn't have that dressing again. Â
Great place to stop. Â
My waitress was no-nonsense and mostly efficient though I felt she could have checked in more for refills and I ended up asking another waitress for my check because my waitress disappeared. Â Still worth stopping!
I stayed at the Motel right across the street from this restaurant when I stayed in Gila Bend. I had been driving all day through the hot desert and really wanted to kick back with a cold beer and some good food. Little Italy did not disappoint!! I got a large pizza that was AMAZING!! Plus the service was great too. Fast and friendly.
Review Source:Dont let the interior (with its card tables and fake grape vines wrapped in blue Xmas lights) fool you. The food here was great! Â Last time through Gila Bend we ate at the space ship place. Won't make that mistake again. The "gourmet pizza" with house made mozzarella was really tasty - very fresh tomato-y and good crust. The waitress said she gets the Penne Boscialo when she eats here - ham, mushrooms, meat sauce mixed with Alfredo - so I got that and it was great! Â My husband got the wings and said they were good but "not that spicy". We will be back!
Review Source:Based on other reviews by yelpers, we stopped in to the Little Italy restaurant on our way home to San Diego from Tucson and were very happy. By using yelp, we were able to call the restaurant when we were approximately 6 miles out from the exit. By the time we had paid for our food, and used the very clean restrooms, our food was ready.
We took our sandwiches to go so that we could continue on our way. The eggplant Parmesan and chicken Parmesan sandwiches were on homemade rolls and both were delicious. One half of the large sandwich would've been plenty but we shared a third half together and still have leftovers. It was good road food and a nice change from the usual franchises along the freeways.
What a surprise. Â Who would have thought a place like this would be found in Gila Bend? Â Crazy good pizza. Â My 5 star rating is for the pizza only. Â I did not have anything else, but everything else looked great that my family was having. Â Service was great, place was clean and the staff was super friendly. Â I will make sure and go back to this place on my trips to San Diego and recommend it highly for anyone else in the area or driving through.
Review Source:You know.. I have driven by this place for years and have never stopped. Our little guy was hungry and I was pleasantly surprised! The chicken pesto was fresh anf tastey, the staff SUPER friendly. The eggplant sandwich had fresh baked bread and eggplant.....great stuff! I will never do bk or mcdonalds again in gila bend!
Review Source:Stopped on the recommendation of a local and the reviews on Yelp. Â Shared a garden salad which was fresh and crisp and then we had a thin crust pizza which was outstanding. Â Place was pretty empty at 7pm on a Friday night. Â But they had red wine and we were happy campers. Â Would certainly eat there again.
Review Source:Had to go to Gila Bend for something and while we were there decided to stop and get something to eat. Â Stopped at this restaurant and we're glad we did. Â We ordered the large meat lovers calzone and wings to split. Â The pizza dough they use for the crust is very good. Â Nice flavor, slight crispness and not doughy. Â I'm very particular about my wings and when I verified that they fried their wings we ordered some and we were pleased with them as well. Â They made them as we requested, slightly crispy, because there's nothing worse than a soggy skinned wing that's like chewing on a piece of rubber. Â Our server, can't recall her name, was very friendly and always checking back with us to see if we needed anything. Â
There was a group of men a couple of tables away that ordered pizza that looked awesome. Â Another table ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and what I think was a very large looking burger with fries, which they had the same idea as us, split to share. Â The serving of spaghetti with meat sauce was a nice size serving as well. Â Another patron ordered dessert which, according to the server, was a spimoni cake. Â It looked really good too. Â
If you are ever going thru or visiting Gila Bend for any reason, I would suggest that you stop here.
After reading other ratings of this restaurant be decided to give it a try while we were parked for an overnight in Gila Bend in our RV. We had the Gourmet pizza. It was excellent, we added a few of our favorite ingredients. It was a reasonable price, super service, and the pizza was light and fresh tasting. We will definitely  come back here to try the pasta on our future stops; we hear the lasagna is excellent.
Review Source:We stopped by Little Italy on our way home from Laughlin, NV and I have to say this place was amazing. Â We had the gourmet pizza, and aside from it being huge, the topping were fresh, the crust was awesome and the service was great. Â If your travels ever take you to Gila Bend definitely stop by Little Italy.
Review Source:So, there's not much to compare this to in Gila Bend, but I can compare it to places in San Diego, and I have to say - Damn Good!! Hubs and I couldn't agree on what to share so we ordered a lot of food. We ordered a pepperoni/black olive pizza, the cheese ravioli and special ordered (it wasn't on the menu) garlic cheese bread.
The pizza was good - salty, but good. I'm a fan of NaCl so I was very happy with that.
The ravioli were fat! The marina sauce was very good.
But the garlic bread (add cheese) was phenomenal!!!! The best thing on the menu!!! Highly recommend that special order.
Staff was sweet/funny.
Favorite thing there? The foil on the windows because it's so f'n hot in Arizona. Why do people live there? Maybe it's for Little Italy?
Family owned & operated business in Gila Bend. Â Very friendly staff (including the owner) and overall good service. Â Small building with modest decor on a budget, including a few traditional wall posters as well as some with a bit of humor. Â It was a bit dark and had a semi-bar feel with the beer neon signs and TV's. Â Food prices were typical for a larger city though, with most entrees $9-10 on up. Â
Food was prepared fresh, tasted good, but not spectacular. Â Homemade rolls were moist & fresh, but were very much like a hamburger bun, including the sesame seeds. Â Alfredo sauce was rather watery. Â Pizza had a good dough with plenty of residual flour on the crust, but sauce was thin and I was surprised to read that their cheese is "homemade Bufala". Â Sauce flavor, however, was good on the manicotti. Â If I'm passing through and hungry then I would stop again, but won't adjust my travel plans to stop again.
note: Location on yelp map doesn't seem correct. Â It's on the main strip close to Dairy Queen.
My family and I were stopping in Gila Bend on our road trip from Texas to California. Â Since our stay at the Best Western came with breakfast at the Space Age Restaurant, I didn't want to eat there twice. Â So we decided to try Little Italy. Â Our waitress (the owner?) was so friendly and sweet. Â The kids got burgers and we split the Gourmet Pizza which was cheesy and wonderful. Â Overall, the food wasn't fancy, but it was good and the service was great. Â The Halloween zombies at the front door didn't really fit the place, but if I'm ever in town again, I will definitely return for another meal!
