13 Best Italian Restaurants near Central Point

“After recently relocating from Las Vegas, I’ve been on a mission to find the best pizza in Eagle Point and let me tell you, the search is officially over. Schmizza Pub & Grub absolutely blew me away. This place doesn’t just serve pizza; they serve an experience.

First of all, the slices are New York-sized, and I mean massive, one slice fills the plate and then some. But what makes it truly unforgettable is how they top it off Chicago-style thick, hearty, and full of flavor. It’s like someone took the best of both coasts and decided to marry them into one glorious pie. The crust has that perfect crisp on the outside with a doughy, chewy bite inside. Every topping tasted fresh and thoughtfully balanced, from the melty mozzarella to the spicy pepperoni and the vibrant tomato sauce.

But what truly elevated this visit was the top-tier service, and a huge shoutout goes to Shane, who made the entire experience even better. Attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, Shane made me feel like a regular on my very first visit. He answered questions, made great recommendations, and brought an energy that’s honestly rare to find in a small-town pub.

The atmosphere here is laid-back and fun, with a great drink selection and enough TVs to catch whatever game’s on without it being overwhelming. It’s the kind of place you can come to for a quick bite, a night out with friends, or even a solo escape when you just want comfort food done right.

If you’re in Eagle Point and haven’t tried Schmizza yet, what are you doing? The pizza is unreal, the vibe is perfect, and the service, especially from Shane, is the cherry on top. I’ve found my go-to spot, and I couldn’t be happier about it.“

“Great food at a great price. We have hosted multiple party’s at Angelo’s in Medford and would highly recommend.“

“Nice wine selection to go with a wide variety of entree choices. The Caesar salad was perfect - lightly dressed but very flavorful, cold & crisp. The mussels, clams and spaghetti dish was delicious. Loved the veal Marsala-so tender with perfectly cooked veggies. My only comment is the marinara sauce is so flavorful it took away from the veal. Would probably choose a plain pasta next time to enjoy with the luscious Marsala sauce. Marcello was our waiter and was delightful. The rest of the staff were very attentive, getting empty plates from the table, filling water glasses, etc. we were just passing thru but will make a point to come back.“

“A Medford landmark… Relentlessly charming and cozy quaint…yet utterly sophisticated… How can this be? Our server’s skillful professionalism was amazing yet somehow overshadowed by her simple sincere comforting smile. Yes…we never cease to be blown away by this place. As for the food… It is nothing less than an honor to enjoy. You can taste the patience, and commitment and long hours invested in every dish. Vinny and his family are a local treasure.“

“I went there with a friend last night for dinner, drinks, girl time. A guy at the bar came up to our table, clearly trying to make the moves. He was nice but then came up a second time. Said I was beautiful and asked if I was married. Again he was nice and I immediately made it clear I’m a happily married woman and proceeded to show him pictures of my rather hunky husband. Later as the checks came our waiter wrote my friend a note making sure we were ok and if we felt uncomfortable and he gave us a “code” to say if we needed help. Anyways, that was amazing and so appreciated and it means a lot when someone is paying attention and wants to make sure a couple girls having dinner were ok and felt safe. So thank you so much for taking that extra step. Love this place and the food and service was wonderful“

“All in all is was pretty good. However, I asked for penned pasta and was brought out spaghetti noodles, and it was only then I was told they didn't have any penne.
I'm pretty sure that was a lie, because I don't know what kind of Italian restaurant wouldn't have penne pasta. That said, still tasted good.“

“What a great dinner spot! Drinks and appetizers were very tasty, I had the Filet, it was cooked perfectly and they had a wine that it paired with nicely. The ambiance was great, pretty private and quiet. Server was very attentive and explained each dish and drink as they came out. I have been there many time before and will definitely be back.“

“Not a exaggeration when I say they have the damn best meatball sandwich I’ve ever had and that’s including family italian restaurant’s.“

“Our book club met on the patio for an art project and to discuss our monthly book, and the staff were super great and completely catered to all our needs! The food was delicious and the staff were all very accommodating!!!! I would definitely recommend this place for a great time and will be back soon!“

“The garbage grinder was the BEST!!“

“For me it’s my favorite bar of all I’ve worked in which has been many. Coming back to the Bella was like coming home ♥️♥️♥️“

“Hands down the BEST Mediterranean pizza I've ever had!
If you're a fan of bold, fresh flavors—this place is a must-visit. The ingredients are always super fresh, the crust is perfectly crisp yet soft on the inside, and the combination of feta, olives, roasted veggies, and spices is absolutely addictive. You can taste the love and quality in every bite. Whether you're grabbing a quick slice or dining in with friends, this pizza never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“One of my favorite places to eat! So delicious! We eat at The Old Spaghetti Factory every time we’re in the area.“
