I was planning on eating at Palermo's which is up the road on the Midlothian Turnpike, but it was crowded, and I didn't want to wait the 40 minutes for a table. So, I drove a few minutes to the Kroger shopping center and found this gem. Nothing really special, but there was no wait. The service was very good, and the food was served hot and pretty good. Good variety of appetizers, subs, pizzas, and pasta. Wine and beer selection is ok and not high end. I had the chicken Parmesan. Very tasty. To be honest, this isn't a good date establishment, but it would be a great place to bring kids and grandkids or to host an after-sporting event or kids birthday party. It's big, open, and not intimate, but definitely not bad for a good, hot meal with little wait time. Plenty of TVs to watch football. I'll be coming back!

Normally this is my favorite go-to for a gooey cheesie pizza and a cheese steak.I always order with Doordash.Today, the original delivery time was 5:32. Then it was 5:38, then 5:40 and so on. My pizza was ice cold and not cheesy at all. My sub was also cold. French fries and onion rings were...COLD.And, to top it off, I paid over $11 for cannoli (2).I'm done with DD and now Candelas.

I have ordered from here for YEARS. Ordered tonight. order was incomplete but they did call. Unfortunately they did not accept the highest value coupon for dinner. The manager spent quite a bit of time screaming at me. I will admit that I was upset but did give them time to state their case and vent at me. Unfortunately they would not extend the same courtesy to me after I listened to me. They said that this was it and that was all. Upshot. They took my money and would not look to see that they had made an mistake. This is the last time I will order from them. There are too many good Italian restaurants in the area.

Meh .....Ordered carryout of Margherita pizza and chicken fingers with fries.Chicken was OK, pizza was nothing special for what they charged.Used subpar, pale looking watery tomatoes that made the whole pizza bit soggy and less appealing. San Marzano? I wish. Even sliced ripe Roma tomatoes would have been much better. Want to charge a premium price for pizza? Use premium ingredients.

The cheesesteak was very good, and the eggplant appetizer was a star. Unfortunately the rest of what we chose wasn't a a hit. One warning - maybe just because we expected arrancini, but the Italian rice balls have a kind of soupy beef stew inside. Not terrible - but kind of mushy, and not the cheesy yumminess we had in mind. Our fault for assuming based on the name and not asking, but wanted to mention to save anyone else from the same surprise. Ordinarily I wouldn't go back after a meh experience, but others seem to have had very different experiences from ours so we'll give it a few months after the holidays and try again when we can dine in.

I love the pizza here. It is close and I can pick it up for games. I love the Salami pizza. The extra Large is an unbeatable price.

Ordered a steak and cheese to go. Online menu said it came with lettuce tomato mayo and dressing. Got home and it was literally bread, steak and cheese so the sandwich was a little dry. I would go back but would definitely make sure they put the veggies and sauces on the sand which

This is meant for the location on robious. A while back I accidentally ordered a pizza from the midlothian location (and paid for it in advance.) I arrived at the robious location and when I realized I had ordered at the wrong location, I figured it would be easier to just re-order at robious and pay (again) because i couldn't justify driving to the other location. They legitimately would not let me order a pizza "because I ordered from the other location". Refused service due to their "policy" and was berated, loudly, by what appeared to be a kitchen manager. I don't get it? The pizza at the other location was paid for, feed it to the staff maybe? Why was this an issue to order a new pizza? and pay again? Treated poorly, and lost a long time customer. and yes, the staff was fully aware that I was essentially just trying to place an order. y'all really need to get your ducks in a row.

One of the worst meals I've had. I ordered the chicken piccata and would not recommend it at all. There was ZERO lemon flavor. It was 4 boiled chicken tenders with a pile of sliced mushrooms (more mushrooms than chicken). I'd asked for a side of angel hair pasta and it came with marinara sauce on it, which is strange with piccata sauce. I usually like to eat the pasta, chicken, and lemony sauce together. I just ate the angel hair with marinara and gave my 4 year old the chicken because she likes her food bland.
