Some of the best (if not the best) pizza on the Roanoke area. Food is always tasty and freshly prepared. Excellent value and portions are filling. My mother loves the cheesesteak sandwiches.

Stopped to get pizza for supper. A good pizza at a fair price. The pizza was a little bigger than most. The place seemed nice but kinda small. I can't say too much about it because I was in and out so fast.

I love this little Italian restaurant it’s not much to look at on the outside, but the people on the inside is what matters, and the little lady that waited on me was adorable, and so sweet and authentically. Italian reminded me of my grandma from Italy. Steak sandwich was great.

BEST New York-style pizza in Roanoke, hands down (if you want Italian style go to Fortunato). That it is located in a former Waffle House makes it even better.

I had the old-world style pizza (no cheese), and it was absolutely delicious! I eat plant-based, so when I heard about this place I had to give it a try. It’s amazing how quality ingredients can make something so simple SO delicious. I absolutely loved it and am SO thankful to them for offering such a delicious non-dairy option! My kids also absolutely loved their cheese pizza. They miss pizza from big cities and this did not disappoint!

The food was awesome! The pizza my wife had was amazing, and my cheesesteak was the best I have had. Very friendly, cozy place to eat. If we come back through town we will be eating here again.

Simply amazing. After having their pizza, I felt like I was back home. REAL NY style pizza! Oh, and their cheesesteaks are good too (minus the bite I took! Ha!)

Michael Hernandez

Loved it! I love pizza and when I travel I am always hunting for the best pizza in the area.. This place has become my favorite pizza place in Roanoke after my first visit to it.. the Italian owners cooked our pizza perfect! The dough they use taste so delicious and I like the fact the pizza is not only and greasy. I can tell they use good quality pepperoni on their pizzas. Definitely will be making a visit there on my next visit to Roanoke.
