I came here with hubby and the kids one night after my son's basktball game. The place was pretty empty by that time (dinner rush would have been over). We grabbed a table and looked over the menu. The menu looked good, I was excited to see grinders on the menu since I am from Massachusetts and haven't had one in years. I was disapointed to see one go out to another customer. It wasn't really a grinder at all but more like something you would get from Subway or Quiznos. Small bread, small portion of filling. Not a grinder at all. A small grinder is 6-8" long, and 4-5" tall stuffed with fillings. A large one is 12-14" long.. You get my drift. We decided to get a large pizza for us to share. We waited a very long time for it.The sauce on the pizza was very bland and tasted a lot like canned tomato paste watered down.. It kind of ruined the pizza. The toppings were okay, but the sauce was hard to overcome. Â
I was really disapointed because I miss good Italian food and really, really wanted to like this place because it's so close to my house. I guess when I want good pizza, I just have to keep driving out to Big Bill's in Centennial.
Massino's has been our go to pizza place for the past few years, it's right around the corner from our house. Â We really don't like chain delivery pizza places and while Massino's isn't the very best pizza in town, it's the best near us for the price. Â Most of the time it's pretty good, once in a while our pizza isn't as hot as we'd like, but that could possibly be our fault for not picking it up soon enough. Â We usually get the $15 carry out special which is a medium 3 topping, a large 2 topping, and an order of bread sticks. Â You really can't beat the price unless you go to one of those hot n ready type places, and let's be honest, those types of places make cafeteria pizza look good. Â Anyway, we sometimes get the calzones as well and those are usually pretty good, my favorite is the spinach. Â I've had their pasta dishes a couple times and feel that for the cost they weren't that great of a value so we'll stick with the pizza and calzones.
Review Source:I keep getting nasty emails and comments from the people at Massino's over my reviews of their restaurant. Â Here's the latest,
"Hi, I was waiting for another nasty review from you, where were at. Yelp actually loved these nasty reviews that you had for Massinos. For sure, your reviews were very bad, you didn't like us first time but you wanted to put another review without even really trying our food. That's okay, Â you can keep doing that evil work, and Yelp is there to support you, but try to read the filtered reviews for Massinos and if you are honest person, you will be ashamed"
I never meant to offend anyone and I have no personal vendetta against this business. Â Their food and customer service are honestly no good and my reviews reflect this. Â I don't know why this person thinks I never tried their food because I did and it wasn't good. Â Apparently, I am not the only one who thinks this as there are several reviews stating the same thing. Â I am a very honest person and I am not ashamed of my reviews, not one bit.
To the people at Massino's, PLEASE stop contacting me. Â Your nasty emails and comments are not going to get me to change my reviews. Â In fact, there are plenty of places that have disappointed me. Â Some of those places I have tried again (which I actually did with your establishment and was disappointed a second time). Â In this case, I will never set foot in your restaurant or order delivery from you ever again. Â Your attitude toward me and others for for posting honest reviews is unwelcome.
Well 1 day short of a year I am once again contacted by Massions minions. They just don't give up with the drama. This time they contacted me via the Complement function. the following is quoted from the message.
"Thanks for the great review, it's actually good because lot of customers at Massinos talking about you and Yelp. Your review was the worst review ever made, and Yelp loved it, just because we couldn't afford to pay for Ads with Yelp. Yelp is working very hard to filter all the good reviews and show only nasty reviews like yours. You are an evil team,but God is on our side, we are getting very busy, up 56% for the year."
So now they are claiming that yelp is strong arming them by filtering out good reviews because they can't afford to pay for ads, even though their business is up 56% from last year. Â first its lying customers now its Big Brother and The EVIL team trying to do you harm. Â By the way claiming that GOD is on your side is pointless. I'm pretty sure the lord has better things to worry about. I mean after all with all the war povertiy and famine in the world , Believing you pizza joint is high on his list is a little bit arrogant don't you think?
Seriously Massianos get a grip on reality. NOBODY is out to get you. There is no conspiracy at work. You just have a tendency to deliver sub par food with bad customer service. Â
In close I say to you Massinos. Get a grip and MOVE ON!!!
We recently visited Massino's for lunch on a business trip. Â 3 of the 4 of us had the meat calzone. Â The other person in our party had the stuffed meat pizza. Â All of us were satisfied with our meals. Â It was very filling. Â The ingredients used seemed to be of good quality. Â I like the fact that they use ricotta cheese in their calzones. Â I would go here again.
Review Source:Went here for lunch today. The Greek salad isn't even close to what a Greek salad should be. It was fresh, but no red onion, no pepperoncini, no feta cheese, bottled dressing, no cucumber........ Go to Charlie Browns for the best Greek salad in town. As a matter of fact, when I hit Charlie Browns, I usually get another to go for later. It's that good. Maybe Massinos has good pizza and pasta, but the salad is abysmal.
Review Source:I don't mind Massino's. Â I've ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and cheese ravioli. Â I enjoy both. Â They both come with some garlic bread wrapped in foil. Â When I first ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, I looked at and thought...where's the rest of the sauce? Â But, as I ate, I realized it was actually more than enough. Â The cheese ravioli on the other hand was drowned in their marinara sauce. Â I love their sauce. Â It's tangy and sweet. Â My husband has ordered the sub grinder...eh, wouldn't get that again. Â Those are pretty flimsy. Â I've also ordered the sicilian pizza...it was ok, definitely not the best by any means...it's a square pizza, and the person who cut it, for some bizarre reason decided to try and cut triangle pieces...?? Â That was kind of weird...I guess next time if I happen to order the sicilian I'll say..."and please cut this in squares since the pizza is shaped as a rectangle." Â Sorry, but, that just bothered me...the slices were all funny shaped. Â I've only ordered this place for delivery...and they told me 45min-1hour...and I waited about an hour and 20. Â That's not a huge deal to me, but, thought other readers should know. Â I'll definitely continue to order their tomato based pastas.
Review Source:The great pretender!
I do not go to Aurora much so I tried this place only once, and it is likely I will not return. They claim "we serve famous new york pizza style", pleasee!!!. Who are they trying to con? The pizza is in the league of Blackjack or Domino's, and it is not even better than those two.
They have a website: <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.massinospizza.com%2F&s=f18f54ac35e442c07a04cfe8e689a47cadd0697c2c06591828f372e77aaa6c28" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.massinospizza…</a>
The looks (pictures and what they claim) do not seem to go along with reality. That is why I mock them giving the pretender name.
Anyways, I have not tried other items of the menu. Maybe the pizza is not great but they have good alternatives. Try them at you own risk. I do not recommend this restaurant.
