“Thank you Paninos for fast turn around and great food for our group tonight. The food was a big hit.“

“Popped into here yesterday with my son before making our way to the NW vs Nebraska women’s vball game and they were so busy they couldn’t take any walk ins. As we completely understood, we opted to just order food to go. While we waited for our food, the staff were so kind and accommodating. To the point they managed to fit us at a table so we could quickly eat our meal before the game. Despite how insanely busy it was due to the fans eating before the match, the entire staff remained calm, patient and kind. Personally, that goes such a long way. Plus the food was amazing so it was a win win. Would absolutely eat here again.“

“Arrived in half the quoted time, piping hot and enough for two meals - not to mention super flavorful and delicious! I ordered fettuccine w/bolognese & broccoli and it was packaged in adorable packaging as well. I will be ordering again in the future for sure“

“Arrived at noon on a weekend. Only one person behind the counter taking orders and making sandwiches. There were two or three other parties ahead of me waiting for their orders so I knew it would be a wait and it was, about 10-15 minutes before I got my sandwich. I was pretty sure this would be my only visit until I took a bit of the sandwich. It was delicious, so I'll return but will time my visit better. Also, the interior is fine but not great for dining together. I also thought the music was too loud. But great sandwiches!“

“Great atmosphere and food!“

“The hours are great in case u wake up in the middle of night they are convenient. I love my chicken alfredo pizza..“

“Amazing Chicago style pizza...definitely recommend the pizza crust chip/dip appetizer!“

“This is a pretty darn good tavern style pizza. I went in with average expectations on the 4th of July weekend. I was delighted by every aspect of this pizza. Crust was crispy with a bit of char on the edge. Sauce was a great match with the cheese. Sausage was flavorful without being greasy. I have been back three times since I first went.“
