Monday they have their large Italian Chef salads on a special, so I got one for my boyfriend and me. I don't particularly like their house Italian. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just too sweet for me, but all my friends love it. I've been loving Papa Dino's for over 22 years (a few years after I moved to the area) and it's the closest thing to Chi-town pizza. (Sorry Cincy, I don't like your La-pizza sauce) I've been hoping they'd come out with a deep dish, but sadly they have not, but if they ever do, it'll be awesome.Kid-friendliness: Can easily bring children, but not much for them to do but great to start a family traditionWheelchair accessibility: Can easily wheel a wheelchair in and out of the restaurant. Maneuvering into a bathroom might pose a problem
I have been going here since I was a child. The service is always great! The food is always delicious! I highly recommend for people to go here when they want to get pizza or a hoagie!

UPDATE:I’m pretty sure that the restaurant has some new management. I was there and spent over 60$ and got a to go XL pizza. First- the pizza looked amazing. BUT- I grabbed a slice today and got a wonderful surprise! A chunk or plastic. Looks like a bread tie or some sort. So I immediately called and spoke with management and she informed me that that was impossible that they didn’t have anything like that in the building. She didn’t say sorry or let me make this right— she just said impossible. So now I’m doing my job of giving the review. This used to be a great place but has recently went down hill. Until the staff changes and more of the owners make the appearance again- I unfortunately won’t be back. 40 years of eating here and this is what it comes to.

Hands down the BEST Pizza bowl in town. The cheese is so so good. I LOVE that they don't skimp on the cheese or the toppings. I mean look at that bacon! The house made sauce and Italian dressing is out of this world. Always friendly. Hoagies are fire. All around great place.

This is a horribly ran restaurant. Sat down for 10 minutes and wasn't even acknowledged by any staff member.it was not busy and now I see why. This establishment needs to be shut down or revamped and every employee terminated. This is the second time in 2 weeks this has happened. Me and my wife got up and left both times but before we did I made sure the staff knew I would never be coming back. What an embarrassment this place has turned into. Do not go here!!!!!!
The food smelled delicious when we entered the restaurant. The pizza was good. I had the white pizza but the crust was chewy and kinda thick.

Finally got to try out this Florence staple on a Friday evening. Meatballs were excellent and this alone would bring us back. The pizza was tasty. I wouldn’t classify the style as New York but a close cheesy cousin. We liked the dated interior which is reminiscent of an earlier time. In our opinion, the only drawback was a very obnoxiously loud group that that clearly had been drinking for a long time. When checking out, the cashier gave us the pro tip that the sister establishment,next door, served the same food and was quieter.

I have been eating there for 65 years and Friday was the end for me. Ordered a steak hoagie cheese mayo tomato and onion it looked like a 5 year old had put it together meat hanging off the end of the bun , not much mayo and the bun was not very good ( hard), the meat taste like a frozen patty I don,t complain I just pay the bill leave a tip and won,t back.

If you haven't had their pizza, you're missing out! Do yourself a favor and GET ONE!! plus they'll deliver near their location!

Always excellent pizza. Consistently good quality and fast, friendly service. There's a reason they've been open since 1955!
