Beware of any reviews pre-pandemic. Sadly, this used to be a great hidden gem (I would always make a point of dropping in whenever I was driving through the area). The dine-in fare used to be great. Now, it's just another takeout pizza joint.
I can't say enough great things about this place. Friendly staff, fresh food, and in my opinion, the best red sauce I've ever had. You can't go wrong with this menu. This will always be my wife and I's favorite spot to eat. Covid unfortunately forced them to go fully take out, and we'll miss sitting down and chatting with the friendly staff, but man is this place worth the call and drive. We love Carini's and we wish them all the success.
I ordered 2 small pizzas (a bacon and onion pizza and a Carini's special sub onion for pineapple) along with a mozzarella fritta. We were charged $2 to remove a topping off a pizza, which is very strange (and charged another $2 to add pineapple, which I figured). I know this because when I called to confirm, I was told I was charged $20.95 for the special - $4 more than menu price and the orher things we ordered were the same price as the menu. Food was good, but sharing...
