Portofino Pizzeria & Deli

Went here based on reviews for some spaghetti and pizza. The pizza was good, we ordered an XL half cheese/half pepperoni pizza. The older gentleman on the phone was super sweet and helpful and most importantly, patient with my questions since I have never been here before. I ended up ordering a family special and paid the extra funds to make the large pizza and XL pizza. It came with a half loaf of garlic bread (loaf equals half of French roll) and a 1/2 size order of spaghetti and meat sauce. It was $35, but $4 extra for the XL pizza. The food was presented very hot and fresh. Made to order. We drove home, about 20 minutes away, and the food was still hot. The pizza is very thin crust, but filling. The dough has a slight, salty taste, but still good. The sauce is good too. The pepperoni was crispy on the edges. The spaghetti and meat sauce was tasty. Spaghetti was a bit soft, but still good. I would definitely return to order again. This place is way better and tastier than the silly pizza chains they shove down our throats, so spend the few extra dollars if you can. I love supporting small businesses, especially pizzerias. I hope you try them and like their food.

This pizzeria/Deli has to be one of the best places I've tried, although they have their own menu, they don't hesitate in making your custom order come to life. I got a pastrami with mozzarella. TRULY A MUST TRY.

Yummers! Had the pesto pizza, chicken parmigiana and fettuccini Michelangelo. Fantastic service with great prices and large portions. The crust for the pizza was thin and crispy with generous cheese and toppings. Highly recommend!

I haven't written a restaurant review in years, but I had to give this place some love.
We ordered 2 slices of cheese pizza and a plate of eggplant Parm.
Eggplant is not the easiest thing to work with, but this place nailed it.
As we were walking up to the restaurant, a guy on a bike told us to try the eggplant and I'm so glad he did. The sauce was not at all acidic, nor did it have that fennel flavored finish I dislike so much. It was creamy and it didn't separate like I've seen when Italian food is reheated under the broiler.
It's too bad that we don't live in the area, but I know I'll come back.
Thanks for the delicious lunch!

Clean restaurant. Pizza can be cooked with a crustier crust. A bit too oily for our taste. But great atmosphere with good service.

Part of me wants to put zero stars to keep this place a secret. It's always good. The prices aren't too bad. Dining in is better than take out in my opinion.
