I got The Jensen and it was cooked perfectly, tasted fresh, and I got breadsticks which are great, nice and soft and perfect dipped in butter. I actually wanted spaghetti and meatballs but they were out of meatballs. Maybe next time. Restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere, service was good and friendly.

I wish I had better news, but my co-workers and I just didn't have a positive experience. The food was not good at all. Pizza was doughy and cold even right out of the oven. The spaghetti sauce tasted like canned and the breadsticks had zero flavor. The only positive part was the service.

Ate a pizza yesterday, got the 12 inch with beef n mushrooms n onions n it was great!!! I will come back on a Wednesday to get a hamburger, The Jensen burger looks good. This place definitely needs more advertising n getting the word out, well worth eating at.

Went there for the first time. Looked like only 2 people working. Only 4 tables were occupied, so it's not that busy. Walked in, and the guy behind the counter said he would be with us in a moment. Well, 5 minutes passed as we stood there. Didn't know if it was self seating or he sat us at a table. So we just sat down at a table. Didn't know the ordering process. He never came over to us at the table. So we just left and went to the Mont...

Pizza was good! Breadsticks were not very warm for the butter to melt on them, This is all I heard about... I'll be back for the Pizza.

The price of the meals are kinda pricey for just a spaghetti dinner. You have to pay extra for more than 2 breadsticks with your meal. Extra with the salad. I ordered a takeout chef salad and it had only lettuce, a little bit of ham a few chopped pepperoni, some cheese, and 2 breadsticks for 10.00. It's just overpriced now for what your getting. The drinks are 2.50 and in a regular sized in store only cup . I just wasn't impressed and I used to eat there for lunch every single day!!!

Takes me right back to my childhood. Good affordable food. Fun arcade game to play while we wait. Love it!
First time I was finally able visit this local business and I was sooo looking forward to finally try the spaghetti and bread sticks I heard so much about. 3pm on a Saturday with barely anyone there… and they didn’t have breadsticks. How does an Italian restaurant not have breadsticks. Highly disappointed, I left. Recommend calling first to make sure they have what is supposed to be one of the things they’re known for. I hated leaving there and going to Olive Garden, but at least they always have breadsticks

Their "breadsticks" looked like store bought mini baguettes with zero seasoning. It was served with a garlic butter, thank you for that but it didn't help. Their "meat sauce" (we'd ordered two) had VERY tiny crumbles of meat but no disernable meat, literally too small to feel but I could see a dot of something once or twice but to small to even taste if it were, no chewing would be required if given that sauce alone and zero seasoning. We both added Parmesan and Hot Peppers and it didn't help. Buy a can of hunts spaghetti sauce, open and throw it on a pile of over boiled noodles and you'll have perfected their spaghetti. My husband being Italian I was embarrassed that I'd suggested this as a quick meal so we wouldn't need to cook at home after a long day of errands. I highly recommend Benvenutis and Sergio's. We'd wanted to add a new spot to our food map but this will be blacked out with a sharpie then torn out of the map. It'll be our La Brea tarpits. Drive to the city and eat Fazoli if you need "fast food" Italian, this isn't it. The staff was friendly, I want to give them their credit. The music options were of our liking. Won't be returning because the food was terribly disappointing.

Limited menu, but the pizza I had was really good. People are friendly and accommodating. It was also easily accessible.

I've been here many times, but most recently was for their lunch special. Spaghetti and breadsticks for $7 is my favorite. The food is always hot and fresh, and has become one of my comfort food locations.I've been an avid customer of the 'first incarnations' of the restaurant and this one continues in the same fashion. All of the decorations of the past, including the old signs.I saw a personal pizza just go by. I may have to come back this week for one of those...Parking: Lots of spots in this strip mall location.
I swear, Oklahomans hate good food, and love mediocre to bad food. All I kept getting told is ''You have to try Pinocchio's, it's a staple. " Welp, just like every other Norman staple, it's bad. The salads are literally the salad my middle school served us in the 90's, the greasy bread sticks were bad. The food a step below mediocre.The service was great, except the stupid costume our server was forced to wear. I literally felt embarrassed for him. He looked like he works at Chotchkies from Office Space, and that he wore all the flair. He also looked absolutely miserable. Super nice guy, super attentive and fast service, it's just too bad they think it's ok to make their employees dress like this for a job. When your bad bread sticks are the star of your menu, you know you're going to have a bad time.Take this relic and it's bad food back to whatever bad 80's or 90's era they couldn't make it in last time, and leave it there. To keep a running tally, Sergios, bad food, Taramahara, bad food, Pepe's, mediocre but authenticly mediocre. Oklahomans have bad taste buds or bad taste in food. I just can't anymore. People here need to go somewhere and learn about good cuisines, because this state has very little of that. Just an all around disappointment.
Enjoyed the free pacman games oh and the food
