Ippolito's Cucina Italiana and Pizzeria is a cozy, family-run restaurant known for its delicious pizza and garlic knots. The menu offers a variety of options, including novelty slices, sandwiches, peppers and onions with black olives on a 16” pizza, chef’s salad, and more. Customers often praise the friendly, welcoming atmosphere where they feel like family. The owner and staff are very kind and caring, making every guest feel at home. The bread is homemade and probably the best, adding to the warm experience. The pizza is highly recommended, with a crisp crust, perfect toppings, and tomato sauce. The inside feels like an old-fashioned place, giving a cozy and nostalgic vibe. The smell of pizza fills the air as soon as you walk in, creating a tempting aroma. Food is served quickly, and prices are reasonable. Many guests enjoy the upside pie with sesame crust, cheese steaks, chicken parm, and linguini. Parking is usually easy to find, and the restaurant has been a beloved spot for over 18 years, with hopes to stay open for many more. The staff is super friendly and energetic, making guests feel like part of the family. The owner personally comes out to talk with diners and ensure they are happy. Visitors have praised the pizza, especially the crust for its crunch and chew, and the bruschetta pizza, chicken bacon ranch, and pepperoni mushroom are highly recommended. Overall, Ippolito's remains a great place for authentic Italian cuisine.
