“I have had several of the Middle Eastern menu items multiple times. Without a doubt it’s one of the best places here in Louisville. If not the best. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are healthy. I need to try some of the Italian dishes. The owner used to work in a top rated Italian restaurant for 17 years.“

“This place was wonderful! Yesterday was my first time coming to Grassa Gramma and my husband and I went for an early Valentine's date. The decor and atmosphere was breath taking! Just so gorgeous! Our waiter was kind and gave us the specials for the day. I ordered the baked seafood scampi and my husband ordered the cacio e pepe and we loved it! I even reheated my pasta today and it tastes just as delicious as it did yesterday!“

“I inadvertently made a reservation for the wrong day for the table in the kitchen. Manager, Dino, took care of us even though it was my mistake! We always have a great experience at this location and will keep coming back!“

“I wish I could remember our waitresses name. She did a great job. We'll everyone we dealt with did. We went for an early valentine's dinner. The food and drinks were very good. I had the fried shrimp appetizer for my dinner. Will get again. We had a party of 5. One child. Who knew they had French fries. She had spaghetti with a side of fries. Way to go thinking of the littles.“

“Loved the food, the service was great, and the atmosphere was top notch. Had a lovely meal and would recommend OG to anyone who's really hungry, and wants a lot of food ! By the time I started my meal I was nearly filled up with all the delicious salad and the appetizer.“

“Customer service by our waitress was excellent. Our food and our drinks came out quickly. The soup salad and breadsticks for lunch is delicious and very affordable. Less than $50 for two cocktails and 2 soup/salad/bread sticks combo. Our waitress even went out of the way to provide fresh bowls of soup and breadsticks to take home, which I didn't know was an option because at another location they did not provide that to us. I felt like I hit the jackpot and wanted to write this review after eating my leftovers for dinner tonight. Thank you for the excellent service. *I forgot her name, but she was Asian woman with a great smile.“

“We were traveling and got a recommendation to try Osteria. The evening could not have been better. Our server Kristy was wonderful and had a great knowledge of the food offerings and their preparation . The food was fantastic. The experience was a 10 out of 10. Thank You Osteria“

“My BF and I were amazed by this place! We now refer to it as "the market" and plan on coming back many times!“

“Pizza is amazing!!! So yummy. The bartender is HORRIBLE. Stood at bar showing pictures to someone and totally ignored me. I had to end up leaving and have someone else get our drinks. She was extremely rude!“

“Excellent pizza with a good brew selection. I look forward to visiting again!“

“My first visit today, decided on a late lunch. Very good pizza and wings on the buffet. Had a great conversation with the owners. Will definitely be back when in Louisville.“

“Old School NY Pizza is hands-down one of the best spots in Louisville for that authentic New York-style slice, and I’ve become a regular for good reason. The staff here is genuinely great—friendly, fast, and always welcoming with a smile. They make you feel like a local even on your first visit, and they’re quick to get your order right, whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or calling in for pickup. The salads are surprisingly excellent—fresh, generous portions, and perfectly dressed. They’re a solid choice if you’re balancing out the pizza indulgence or just want something light and tasty. But let’s talk about the pizza—it’s legit. The slices at lunch are a steal: big, foldable NY-style with that perfect thin, crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and gooey cheese that hits all the right notes. You can grab a couple slices and a drink for an unbeatable price, and it’s consistently hot and ready without feeling rushed or greasy. The whole pies are just as good if you’re feeding a group. The vibe is pure neighborhood gem—casual, laid-back, and comfortable. It’s got that classic pizzeria feel without any pretension, making it perfect for a quick bite, family dinner, or just chilling with friends. If you’re craving real-deal NY pizza in Louisville, do yourself a favor and hit up Old School NY Pizza. You won’t be disappointed—5 stars all the way! 🍕“

“Great pizza. Great Crust. Great prices. Will be back. You gotta try it!“

“A couple of friends an I went to watch the March Madness ballgames and have some good food. The food was good and the service, Eric B, was fantastic. He took the time to chat with us and still provided great service. The food came out quick and hot. Our drink glasses never got empty before he was bringing a refill!
Between the 3 of us, we had traditional wings, boneless wings, pizza, and a Cubano sandwich.“

“This is a good place to visit great customer service thanks to Anthony outdone himself took care of everything I needed.“

“Corporate failure all the way. Tried to use Dodger’s win coupon. Wasted a hour. I wasn’t logged in. I was and still failure. I went to pay full price. Individual on duty apologized but he was not at fault. I told him I would never purchase Jets again. A regular customer that orders the same each time I expected better.Have no fear your competitors are closing stores at a record rate. Hope Jets joins the “conga line”Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
P.S. give that programmer a huge raise a Christmas bonus!

“I go to the one on Hubbard's Lane and this is the best pizza in the city.“

“While traveling in Louisville, we decided we had to try Louisville style pizza, of course. The recommendation from Google and Yelp was Impellizzeri's hands down, so off we went! We arrived about 7 on Saturday night, it was busy, but we were able to be seated within 10 min. Amazing location with street parking available. Great selection of Bourbon and beers available, and a great menu. They offer 4 styles of pizza: thin, original, thick, and Sicilian. We went with original, and it was perfect crust, with a chewy edge. Louisville style is two layers of cheese and toppings, with a slightly thicker than thin crust. We loved it, but it's very filling. Lots of leftovers, which is never bad. We always get 16in to maximize our slice to pizza ratio. Service was fast and attentive, their pizzas do take longer than your average, but it was worth it. I think ours took about 25 min.“

“Great service and delicious food! We will definitely be back!“

“This is the BEST Bearno’s in Kentucky period! Great food! Great people! Live local music every Friday!“

“They have their own beer on tap. I ordered the fox body which is an amber beer with good flavor. I also ordered a large pizza with pepperoni and veggies. The crust was very good, slightly crispy and not chewy. Pizza sauce is mildly sweet but has good flavor. I prefer a more robust sauce but the crust and toppings make up for it. Plenty of cheese as well. I will order this again!“

“I placed an order online with pickup for the next morning. When it was sent to the store, apparently they did not put a time stamp on it, causing the store to just make it. When I called the next day to check on the order, they explained it all this to me. Rather than having to cut my losses, they stated the refunded the order the day before, and would just put in the order again for me to be made ASAP. While a bit of a hassle, I do not blame the store for this but rather their online application. So thank you.“

“I've never bought a pizza here that wasn't delicious! Try before you listen to the negative reviews!!!“

“Thanks for the delicious dinner for our sons birthday! You guys are awesome“

“Me and my family were craving pizza and found this gem close to our house and we fell in love! Every bite was filled with flavor, the cheese was so good and my husband fell in love with the lasagna. The kids actually cleared their plate. We will definitely be back!“

“The manager & team at this Marco's Pizza location on Taylorsville Rd. provided me excellent customer service. They were kind and treated customers with respect. The pizza, salad, and wings are delicious and accommodated my add-ons. Highly recommend!“
