Carlo's Pizza

This was my first time trying this pizza. A friend of mine at work had a coupon for a free large pizza and told me to give it a try. This location is relatively close to where I live, so I figured why not get a free pizza.We decided to order the cheese sticks as well. It comes with two sauces. I asked for ranch instead, but I think they misheard me and decided to give me both. The cheese sticks were really good. The pizza was also really good. It wasnt too greasy/oily. It had the perfect amount of sauce on it too. We definitely enjoyed the free pizza. Next time we want pizza, we will have to give them another try.

I have only ordered by calling, never a problem. Always on time. New York style spicy pepperoni is delicious. Wings are huge. I've ordered there five times now, no complaints so far. Awesome specials, some under $20.

This stop #42 on our pizza tour. That's right in the last 3 years we have hit 42 pizza places (there are rules of course). I drove by the other day and we realized we had not been to this place yet. So on my kids half day of school (our district is going face to face) we placed an order. The shop is easy to find. Once we got there it was lunch rush and they had a few people waiting to pick up. Inside was neat and clean. We ordered a small cheese and pepperoni (old fashioned) and Carlo bread. The pizza was some of the best we've had in awhile. Their sauce along with the old fashioned pepperoni was simply the best. The Carlo bread was boring and missing something like garlic. It comes with pizza sauce but ranch would have a better option. The cost for pizza and bread was $12.68.

I generally consider this to be the best of the franchises. Came in the other day and had a few slices! They make 'by the slice pizza' until 2 pm. After that whatever they have is all there is for that day. I was pleasantly surprised that the employee, after taking my money, washed his hands thoroughly before he did anything else! Today I ordered a pizza, and though the girl didn't touch my pizza after she took my money, she also didn't wash her hands! You got to keep after it folks if you want to stay on top!

Do you know how some places say "under new management" and you expect great things? I'm sad to report that Carlos has gone completely in the toilet with the new management team. I tried calling 8 times just now; 7 times it reached voicemail that said "sorry the mailbox is full". The other time, I said I wanted to place a carry out order, and the kid hung up on me. Since I live close by, and I wanted pizza, I drove there to order the pizza in person. I asked the young lady if the phones were working, And I explained what happened. She had no idea what I was talking about. But, as I placed my order there, I heard the phone ringing and ringing and ringing, and nobody picked it up. Meanwhile in the pandemic, I saw maybe half of the workers wearing masks. Everyone I saw was a teenager. Do any adults work here? I'd like to hope that an adult would've enforced wearing a mask during food prep.Now, about the food. First, the good news. They've added an everything bread, which is basically an everything bagel seasoning on pizza bread. It's excellent. There's also a terrific garlic butter you can get as a side that's delicious. And, the ranch dressing is also very good. This time, I asked for those sauces, and they gave me neither of them.I'd like to say that the pizza is the same as it was before, but it's not. The new management is especially cheap when it comes to cheese. You can get various flavored crust, and they are decent, but I find I have to sprinkle additional mozzarella on once I get home to make it look like a proper pizza. And, they didn't give me the Parmesan crust that I asked for, either.My main regret here is that I started a review when this place was under the previous management, and it was going to be a 4 or 5 star review. There is so much that they did before that is exactly what you want from a neighborhood pizza place. But, not anymore.Now, their only selling point is that they are close to my house. How stupid it is that I have to drive there to place my order because no one will pick up the phone. Do they want to stay in business?

I've been a loyal Carlos S. River patron for over 10 years. There are actually 2 other Carlos Pizzas & at least a dozen other pizza places much closer to where I live but I will always go out of my way for the S. River location. Both the square & round crusts are always fresh & have great texture. Their sauce is the perfect balance of sweet & tangy & they are not stingy with the toppings. Every pizza, every time is awesome & perfect. They don't have inconsistent results like some other places. I haven't had the chicken tenders & potato wedges in years but I used to love them. So, if you're in the mood for not-pizza, check out their extensive menu. Keep up the good work, Carlos! Sorry I didn't leave this review sooner. (Same review posted on Yelp & Google).

John (manager) and crew are spot on for great pizza!! I suggest their chicago style deep dish for real authentic pie!!! Best around!!

Be going to this location for over 17 years, will not be returning. I placed an order for one pizza and she read it back to me, so correct. Went to pick up and they told me no order was placed, I must of called the wrong Carlo's. Showed them my phone and said the number has been programed in my phone for years, so no. I understand mistakes, on their part, but they were rude and it was like, oh well, and he walked away. She would not even look at me and she was chewing and popping gum while making pizza. I would have waited but they did not offer, They just did not care at all! I order all the time from them but Not Anymore!

Just wanted a slice of pizza. It is now $2. Lousy sauce, little cheese , and 3 pieces of pepperoni. Back in the day.. a dollar slice was great. Won't be back..

The pizza is good and the service Is great. Fun time with friends to go to. Would recommend.
