They are really good very authentic. I love this place. I think they’re a bit pricey but if it’s for them to stay in business, I totally think it’s worth it. They do a great job.

These folks that are leaving bad reviews don’t believe a word they’re saying!!!! Okay now I got that out the way this place right here you can just stop looking at other restaurants because it’s the best Italian food I’ve had hands down! I drive from Saint Cloud any day just to eat here! I haven’t had 1 item on the menu that wasn’t chef’s kiss. Even the owner is amazing. Now what owner of a business will take your order, cook your food ,bring it to you and make sure you’re enjoying your meal! You won’t get that anywhere else! Oh and don’t get too full because the desserts are fantastic. Shoot I’m going to take a drive there tomorrow!

My husband and I visited this place one random date night which happened to be a Monday where you got free zappolis with an entre purchase. That first experience actually blew us away with the genuinely honest tips from our server and ginormous calzones. We left full, happy and already looked forward to our next visit.

After a few weeks we made our second visit, this time with our 2 kiddos. We were given a children's menu and we happily tried their pizzas. Everything was delicious. When it came time to pay we had questions though. The kid's meal wasn't priced based on what we saw on the kid's menu which also said a drink was included with their meal. Not only did we pay double what we expected for our kid's meal but they also charged for the bottled water. The server never even gave an option for tap water. Upon bringing this up to the server and other staff manager who rang us up, they pointed out the kid's menu states prices are subject to change and there was no apology or attempt to make it right.

Had the establishment been transparent and upfront that the kid's menu in fact did not reflect current prices and their drink wasn't included we would have had better set expectations but instead we left with a pretty sour taste in our mouths. The food is good but having worked in customer service I don't take lightly how our situation was handled and sadly will choose other restaurants over this one.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Emilio’s Italian Pizzeria is a gem! I love supporting local, and this place makes it so easy. The food is fresh and flavorful, the servers are warm and welcoming, and the chefs clearly put their heart into every dish. Every visit feels like having dinner with family. Highly recommend!

Special shout out to all staff members working tonight, August 7, 2025.

This place used to be good, but it has gotten worse over the years. I ordered half of the pizza to be with pineapple, and this is what they put on it. I’m pretty sure the pineapple was old and soggy. Never have I ordered pineapple on my pizza and it come out looking brown and soggy like these. It wasn’t just the looks, it tasted bad as well.

We also got there mozzarella sticks, they weren’t fully cooked through. The mozzarella inside of the stick was still hard, smh.

This is hands down the best pizza we have eaten since moving to FL. We were so happy with the quality of our food. Our server was great, she was friendly and had a great attitude. The calzone was HUGE. Highly recommend.

I am really hoping we happened upon this place on a very off night. My husband and I visited Sunday around 6:30pm; after over an hour and a half of waiting for our entree’s to arrive, we asked for our meals to go and the check.

Our server was very attentive and apologetic for the wait, but after an hour and a half of watching an N’sync wanna-be with ramen noodle hair attempt to cook while smacking gum between his lips, yelling at the server for his insufficiencies, and palling around with the rest of the staff, we finally decided enough was enough.

As this is my first restaurant experience review, I’ll keep it short. I love the history and meaning behind the restaurant, but based on our experience, you can get the same quality and service at a chain restaurant.
