Max's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

We have been customers of Max's since before they moved to this location. While we claim we have not found any really great pizza at the outer banks, Max's has been as good as or better than most. (we have not yet tried Madison's). Max's being acceptable and very close to home is generally our choice.It had been a while, actually, but we decided this is what we wanted recently and I have to say, I think it is improved. We had very good quality cheese and plenty of it. The sausage actually had some fennel flavor. We almost always get sausage and olives and forgot to ask if they had Kalamata or green olives, so settled for ordinary black olives. However, we really enjoyed this pizza. Mazes remains our preferred pizza joint in the area.

I was kinda bummed out by the mediocrity of this Italian place. First of all, we had to wait for 30 minutes for a table in a seemingly not-so-busy restaurant located in a shopping plaza next to Food Lion. When we did get seated we overheard the table next to us complaining about waiting over 45 minutes at the table for a pizza. 'Ugh', we thought. Luckily our meals came out in a reasonable amount of time. The fried mozzarella was pretty good. The beer was cold, and the service was friendly, but he did seem like he was a bit stressed. I had the chicken parmigiana entree and it was just ok. Not piping hot and the meat was slightly underdone for my liking. The sauce was good, and the pasta was average. For one of the seemingly only Italian restaurants in the area, I had set a higher bar for Max's. I don't think I'd go back though.

Holy moly this pizza was good. So good, we wanted to go back again for more another night. Something special must be in that sauce cause it was a bit sweet and tangy and it was so good. Wish I lived closer

This entire experience was absolutely fantastic! The food and service were both amazing. We started with the bruschetta, which was fresh and flavorful. Best I've actually had! For dinner, we enjoyed the Alfredo and the three cheese ravioli--both dishes were perfectly cooked and delicious. To top it all off, we had the triple chocolate cake and the lemon blueberry cheesecake for dessert that we took home because we were so full! Our server even sent us home with plates and silverware because he knew we were traveling Both desserts were heavenly and the perfect end to a great meal. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic and delicious Italian cuisine!

Came to town planning to hit our usual seafood buffet but arrived a little late and decided to leave that for tomorrow. So we headed out about 8pm and ended up at Max's. My sister ordered veal parmigiana while I opted for the chicken parmigiana. Both were fantastic and heaping helpings. I could say the chicken was just a tad overcooked but it would be nitpicking because it truly was just a tad. Not even enough to cost them a star. If this were a ten point scale I would give them a 9.7 or 9.8. Our waitress was attentive and quick on the soda refills. Coming in so late we only had a few other customers so it was a nice quiet dinner, though I suspect at busier times it could be very active. Considering we were on the Outer Banks, the prices were pretty good, especially taking into account the huge portion sizes!

Really good pizza rolls and pizza. Service was friendly and an all around great time for the family! We come here every year!

Don't expect fast service. Food ok, salad was good. I placed order at 5:30, after numerous phone calls, to find out why we had not received our delivery, we were told our food was on the way, only to arrive 45 minutes later, now over 2.45 hour wait, which was never mentioned when order was placed. Food was cold and had to be reheated. $70.00 meal and all management kept saying was we are busy. Then sarcastically said sorry they didn't have a helicopter to get it to me faster. Will not be ordering again. Had we been informed by text or when placing order the wait was that long we obviously would have made other arrangements.

We ordered a cheese pizza and fried calamari to take out. Most people know calamari can be tricky and often gets tough. Even after driving 10 minutes home it was still tender and fantastic highly recommend the calamari pizza was good too!! Nice staff, quick service, very clean inside. Highly recommend it for more than just pizza but the pizza is good!

The phillys are great/portions are extreme. We will definitely eat here again. Delivery was on time. It is well with the money.

The food taste excellent! Very authentic! Service impeccable and such a beautiful Restaurant. Will definitely be back.
