Stopped by today for lunch with my family. We were going to get the two pizzas and 10 wings for $30 special but when we went to order we were told wings would take 25 minutes to cook. Which is weird because usually they are fried and come out pretty quick. We ordered the two pizzas, breadsticks and Greek salad plus a turkey burger.Restaurant is kind of cramped and a little on the warm side. Staff was very nice. There are a bunch of hand written signs all over the restaurant that are a little hard to read.Pizza was OK. Definitely one of those pizza places that you want to eat it immediately and not let it sit. Breadsticks were OK (served with maranara sauce, not pizza sauce), Greek salad was average.Wife never got her turkey burger. They came out after the rest of the food was delivered and told us they were out of turkey burgers and weren't informed earlier. Which happens, and is fine, but it makes this seem like a pizza place that has other stuff available but you probably shouldn't get it because it's not the main focus.We ordered to dine in but everything came out like we were going to eat it to go - pizza was boxed, salad was boxed, etc. I think they could probably cut costs and save some table space if they brought the pizza out on the pans they probably cook them on like other places.Average small town restaurant, I'd try them once if you haven't but probably won't be a regular spot for me.

Love this local spot! The burgers & fries are a much better deal than any fast food place! Prices are great and service is always friendly. The gyro plate was fantastic. Pizza's are usually buy one, get one free and they're delicious too.

Food is good and prices are great! Whenever I crave pizza, but don't feel like gobbling up a regular size pizza, this is the place I go to. Their personal pizzas are perfectly sized and priced well. They are made well too. I tried their spaghetti with meatballs and tilapia dinner which are well cooked and delicious! Their baklava is kinda stiff, but a good portion for the price. Warm it up in the microwave for 20 secs and it is better than eating cold.

The food is amazing. The pizza is simply the best and it is just as good to reheat the next day especially when warmed in the oven. The salad with the Italian dressing is fresh, crisp, and delicious. The biggest sin is that the sauce that comes with the bread sticks doesn't come in pints or quarts because they could charge me whatever for it and I would buy it. THE BEST sauce in Huntsville. Great friendly staff. This place does not disappoint! My family loved every bite and this will remain our go to for a delicious dinner.

When I am in the mood for a little bit of everything, I stop here! They offer appetizers, salads, hamburgers, sandwiches, pizzas and Italian dishes. They offer a 2 for 1 Pizza Special, though it doesn't apply to the Personal Pan Pizzas. I have tried just about everything and I highly recommend it all! Their French Fries have a "coating" that really adds to the flavor of the fries! The young ladies that work there are friendly and very helpful! They have A+ personalities! The inside is welcoming and perfect for friends and families to gather for a meal and catch up! I highly recommend this place and I definitely will return!

Tried Rafael's for the first time. Very friendly service.We ordered meat, lovers pizza and a vegetarian pizza. The meat lovers pizza was extremely salty and made our tongues numb. Won't be returning! DJs Pizza on Ryland Pike is 10 times better.

Best Italian in Huntsville. My crew had spaghetti, beef ravioli, and a small Chef's special pizza. It was all delicious.
