Pizza Italiano

Best calzone ever!!

The only reason why I won't give them 5 stars is because the hours are very inconvenient. They open at 4, and it may say they're open until 8 or 9 or 10, but they are not true to their hours, which is very irritating when you're hungry.

My husband and I have been customers of Mike's for close to 10 years!  This is by far the best pizza we have ever had.  We recently moved away and we find ourselves craving Mike's delicious pizza's and cheesy bread sticks.  Nothing compares!  His sauce is AMAZING! I recently drove an hour (there and back) to pay him a visit and pick up our usual order and we all ate so much we were hurting!  I don't know what we will ever do if he closes!  Its worth trying...you will be hooked!   Mike is a nice guy and he really know what a true pie is!   Once you try it you will be a long time loyal customer like we are.

Let me just say this:  if I had to choose between this place and Papa's Pizza Place further down Janes Avenue, then Pizza Italiano wins by a landslide.  The pizza is definitely of a higher quality - but that doesn't mean it's the best!

I do wish that this was a little more than just an ordering counter; it seems that decent sit-down pizza places are hard to come by.

At least here, everything is made fresh.  I mean, you walk in to place an order, and they start making your pizza by hand right in front of you.  In about fifteen minutes, it's piping hot and ready to go.

I met the guy running the place, and he seemed like a nice guy...until he started ranting about how bad the area was.  I'm not kidding, the guy's a bit of a racist.  I'm not even going to repeat the things he said, but let me just say this: he was unhappy to be the white minority.

Just based on that experience alone, I've avoided this place ever since.  I'm not going to support someone who thinks that way, even if they are just down the street.  

So, why give this place two stars and not just one, you ask?  Because even though I disagree with the owner, he still delivers to our complex.  The owners of Papa's Pizza Place will not.  Their actions speak louder than words.
