“First time here. We saw a review on facebook and decided to try it out. Very small place but cute. We walked in and was left standing not knowing if we sit ourself and there were several tables that needed to be cleaned off. An elderly lady looked at us and did not acknowledge us so I said, shall we seat ourselfs? The lady was the owner Angela, which seemed like she was taking orders, serving and making food. We sat down with no menus and my husband had to get up and go to the counter and Angela just said can I help you? Wow. We never even got our water until 1/2 hour later. We sat at a table next to the womens bathroom and the area smelled a little of sewer which was not enjoyable. Finally she took our order. We ordered a small pepperoni pizza and shared a antipasta salad which was very good and the pizza was good. My hubby ordered to go an sausage & pepper sandwich. The sandwich not so good. It was very salty and the sausage tasted old. Service was extremely slow. We are not sure if we will give it another try or not based on our experience.“

“Their service was excellent. it was quick service, with hot pizza and cold crisp salad. The ranch tasted homemade. The pizza was not greasy like most pizzas. The crust was lite and fluffy. It had a crisp cheesy flavor. The dough was perfect. The look of the pizza is appealing. Overall a 5 star rating.“

“Palermo Bakery has everything you need to feel like you are in Italy! From the welcoming staff the moment you walk through the door, to the decor, to the EXTENSIVE bakery items (that are beyond delicious!), to the pizza, to the coffee, there is truly not a bad choice on the menu! They even have a window to the kitchen so you (or your kids) can watch the magic happen in the kitchen. The first time I went there I was reminded of my Dad and my time in Palermo. They are also very COVID safe in case you are worried about venturing out and about. I would recommend the bakery to anyone needing a slice of Italy in Southern California! ❤️🇮🇹💚“

“The food was delicious, service was outstanding. Will definitely be back!!!“

“Great food and service, worth the drive.“

“Best French onion soup! And most delicious fresh bread to dip! Can't wait to try more items from their menu“

“I came in for a little snack with my dad and ordered a simple spaghetti with spinach and marinara sauce. (lil tip ask about the special when you visit because on Sunday you get free garlic bread with spaghetti ) Anyways, for a marinara sauce it was delicious and silky, with a perfect balance of tomato tartness and olive oil. The garlic bread was amazing too with a delightful crunch, perfect for soaking up every last bit of sauce. Staff was also super friendly, welcoming and helpful“

“Went here on a Monday for dinner with a friend and omg!! I was blown away by this little hole in the wall. The food was super delicious, and the portions were very generous for the price. I would definitely recommend to anyone, a very authentic Italian restaurant. The entire menu sounded delicious! Our waiter William was very attentive and very friendly and caring. The overall atmosphere is great! I will definitely be back very soon with my family!!“

“My first time eating here and I absolutely loved it. The pasta dish I had was amazing. It was wine Wednesday and we took advantage of that. Our server was a sweet heart and explained to us any questions we had about the menu. The whole experience was great and I will definitely be back❤️“

“Location formerly was El Appetiz. Jary’s has brought it back. Good portions great tasting food. Pizza, Calzones, lasagna, chicken shrimp jambalaya, salads are all excellent. Better to call it in & pick it up. It’s a Hidden secret.“

“amazing doesn't even describe my Garlic Knots and Spaghetti Caprese. loads of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and fresh basil. The price was also amazing. wish this was vloser to home!“

“I've been a Vince's customer all my 70 years. Not your typical Italian restaurant, just a spaghetti house, although the menu has been expanded recently to include lasagna. Always good, family friendly, just don't get hungry for spaghetti on Wednesday. To my knowledge they've never been open on Wednesday.“

“Excellent customer service! And, best Detroit-style pizza 🍕 for 1500 miles 😋“

“Great food and great service! What more can you ask for!“

“Incredible service, ambience & food. �����“

“Disappointed in salmon pesto linguine. No pine nuts. Not nearly as good as in past. My 100 year old friend asked for small dish of gnocchi and we were told it was impossible. Both food and service have gone downhill“

“The best italian restaurant“

“I just order pizza from here from now on. Super good super good price“

“This modest dinner spot specializes in handmade pastas with a Californian twist. I tried their butternut ravioli with burnt sage butter—and the balance of flavors blew me away. The space is simple, with soft lighting and jazzy background music. The chef came out to ask how the ravioli was, which felt genuine, not performative. A delightful pasta find.“

“Because of a recent illness, I must be careful about salt intake. Our server ( wish I would have written his name) was extremely kind and helpful in helping me with my selections. I’ll certainly return to this restaurant. Good food and excellent service!“

“Excellent time! Ordered the Calabrian Steak and Shrimp Bucatini w/ extra, extra cheese and the Chocolate Lasagna for dessert. The Calabrian crème sauce was spicy, but not overpowering. The dessert was scrumptious! Sarah, our waitress, checked in to make sure everything was perfect. Especially the request for extra, extra cheese lol. Thank you Sarah and Olive Garden for a beautiful and delicious evening!“

“Good service and good food“

“Everything was fabulous atmosphere, service food was amazing great drinks“

“Found this spot on Google and decided to check it out. If it’s a nice day or night out I recommend sitting in the secret garden area which adds to the ambiance. Food was great, service was great, drinks were great. Will definitely be back.“

“my favorite is the Regina!“

“Had the “Aloha” for dinner… Delicious! We’ll be back. ❤️❤️“

“I just came back from a 3 week vacation in Italy and I was dubious about eating here. Let me tell you, this food was on par and often better than the food I had in Italy.

The potatoes in my soup were freshly cut, bread freshly baked, the tomatoes in my salad tasted fresh off the vine.

I was service quickly, and the staff even out of their way to customize a cheese plate for my daughter.

The manager of this place needs to be promoted to CEO.“

“Excellent pizza, the place is takeout only, definitely not the prettiest place, but hey, you're there just to say thanks to the folks who made your food, pay for it, and pick it up. Great crust, crunchy outside, soft and fluffy inside. Sweet sauce is not too sweet but definitely on the sweet side. Real mozzarella is not too salty, but nice gooey and melty. And fairly generous with the toppings. Great place for your "cheat" meal of the week.“

“Great service and great food 👌.“

“If you miss pizza from east coast (NY/NJ), this is where you'll find it. Family owned, casual atmosphere and no frills
pizza joint serving up authentic NY style pizza. Also pasta and deli sandwiches, italian ices, italian cookies and black/white (americano) cookies. Food is consistent, attentive service... definitely made me a regular.“

“1st time, pizza was delicious!! When placing order male on the other end had very broken English but made the best to communicate. He failed to tell me the signage at the establishment was not updated and I couldn't find Pizza Crush, I saw Ian's Pizza, called and confirmed It was the same. Please update signage, thank you.“

“Best Pizza ANYWHERE!! And the bread sticks with cheese and Roland sauce are a major plus!!! We make a stop in to see if the mistro of pies Joey is in, whenever we are in town, and are never disappointed!! The imported sausage and perfectly cooked crust are amazing!“

“Best pizza in town! Excellent service and the place is really well run. Very reasonable prices too. Keep it up guys.“

“The food is yummy and the owners are nice .“

“Everything was good!! Service, food and wine!“

“This place is like Subway, but with pizza instead of sandwiches (and much fresher ingredients). They have a menu of pizzas, but you can customize all of your toppings as you watch a staff member put it together for you every step of the way - from saucing to firing it up in the pizza oven so it comes out fast and hot. The crust is consistently perfect (thin and crispy), there are a ton of fresh, quality ingredient options, and the flavors are amazing. This is a place I have frequented for years and I can honestly say that I have never had a pizza I didn't like. I've tried a handful of them, but my go-to is the green pie (pesto basil sauce, mozzarella, feta, zucchini, eggplant, artichoke hearts & fresh tomatoes). My husband does not like vegetables too much, but even he has learned to let them make it as-is, without customizing it, because it is SO GOOD! The chicken wings are juicy, meaty, and delicious. The salads and Mediterranean plates are great as well (chicken/beef kabob, falafel or chicken shawarma served with rice, salad, hummus, pita bread, and garlic sauce). There is even a dessert counter where you can usually find an assortment of treats like macarons, Dubai chocolate bars, and Baklava. They also serve beer (bottled and on tap).

Aside from the great food, the place has a great ambience with a large & spacious indoor dining area as well as a large shaded patio area in the front (facing bustling Citrus Ave), big screen TVs, and even a little game machine for the kids. They do a great job of keeping it all nice and clean. A small touch I really appreciate is that they conveniently keep extra plates, silverware, condiments, and to-go boxes out in the front so you can use as much as you need without having to ask for them.

On top of all that, it's in a prime location in downtown Covina so there is plenty to do if you have some time to walk around. Great for families and casual date nights.

This place hits every.single.time.“

“I don't know why it took me so long to come to this place. The pizza is excellent. We got their signature pizza. The ingredients are very fresh and has a soft crispy crust. They have a full menu a goodpizza place would have. This is the original Red Devil. All the others are not affiliated.“
