“It has wonderful Service. really it’s an amazing place to eat! I love it“

“I used to come to Fazoli's as a kid with my parents, their garlic breadsticks and pasta are just as good as my nostalgia remembered, I wish there was a Cincinnati location. And big thanks to Tina for making our dining experience very positive!“

“Mist recent last week Chicken parmigiana, just sooooooo excellent and chicken melt in your mouth!! Husband ordered their Meats Pizza. So very good. We split our courses and still had enough to take home for next day lunch!! Staff very personable and attentive. Can not say enough of their excellent quality and presentation of their most delicious food. Tried their variety of meals, all superb!!“

“Always love their food and service ❤️❤️“

“The pizza at Old Scratch is amazing. The crust is delicious with a perfect char without being burnt. The toppings are simple, yet unique and full of flavor. All that being said...we actually come here even more for the sides. The roasted cauliflower is so good. It's soft, but not too soft and the romesco sauce is delicious. I like the crust on its own but my wife loves to dip the crust in whatever sauce is leftover from the cauliflower. They also have unique special sides like the deconstructed fried green tomatoes that we had this visit. This was an amazing textural experience with the hot tomatoes, crunchy topping and then the cold marscapone cheese. Service is always great. You may wait a little longer than other places and if you order to go the estimated times seem to always be wrong. We typically wait longer than the estimated time, but if you plan for that, it's well worth the wait. Dine in if you want to try some of their delicious drinks. My favorite is the angry beekeeper but I like to add bacon to mine.“

“We hardly ever go out to eat, but wow was this experience incredible!

We had a back room with plenty of table space to not be on top of each other!

Our server, Roo, was phenomenal, she went over the top on service! She was kind, patient, didn't rush us, and was even wonderful with the kids!

Thankful to have had a great experience at Olive garden on father's day!

Great food, great service, plenty of parking, quite atmosphere, and friendly staff!

Well done!“

“I live in Chicago now but still make it a point to stop at Marion's anytime I am in Centerville. Will always be a favorite. Bonus for it still having the same feeling inside as when I was growing up -- that decor is nostalgic/sentimental and just feels like an old-time hometown pizza place...I love it!“

“I had Jet’s Pizza for the first time in a long while here on my end and I just want to give a big shout out to Justin Kemen working there - he went above and beyond with the customer service for what he did for me that day. The Detroit Deep Dish is delicious from you guys as well! Justin big up!! I really appreciate you much my man!! Great customer service at this Jet’s Pizza on Far Hills in the Gem City 💎…..and good pizza outta Detroit as well!!“

“I was driving by and saw the Little Caesars sign and thought that would be a good treat for my drive home after a long day.

Shout out to Rachel who offered to make me a fresh pizza 15 mins before close. I work in a service industry. There is a lot of bad customer service these days but she was polite and friendly and accommodating.

Good pizza with a smile, can't beat that! Made my 1.5 hr drive home that much better.“

“Came for the Happy Hour in the bar area. Steve greeted us quickly and was the perfect happy hour host. The martini’s were superb, and he provided useful info on the food (burger temp). We live in Beavercreek and plan to drive back down regularly… management can thank Steve!“

“First time here and food and service were excellent. I was also excited because they had no music which I consider noise pollution when I am trying to have a conversation with a friend. The server told us this was because they forgot to turn it on. PLEASE, keep it off. It was wonderful. I go to a restaurant to enjoy food and conversation, not to listen to a concert.“

“I've been here many times. They generally do a job and the food is great.

My visit today deserves a special call out. I had a group of 4 adults and one toddler. We were hectic, all over the place with our ordering, had to go back to the counter a few times to get more sauces, boxes, etc. The gentlemen making our pizzas was very friendly, kind, and patient with us.

I also enjoy the large variety of toppings. Better variety than any other popular pizza joint.“

“It was a busy night and there were only 2 staff in the front of the house. The server and host were exceptional and were able to handle the flow even though it was very busy. The pizza was made incorrectly but the host knew immediately and took care of the mistake immediately.“

“Absolutely amazing pizza that is always up to my high standards. I get my delivery orders hot fresh and delivered with purpose and I like that so I tip well because the pizza guy runs around and puts a lot of wear and tear to get me my pizza and I appreciate that so I try to show them I appreciation through sufficient and appreciative tips cuz he comes rain or shine snow or sleet and I can stay at home nice and warm while he risks his life delivering in adverse conditions“
