48 Best Italian Restaurants near Leacock Leola Bareville

“What a hidden gem! This little Italian spot completely blew me away. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff treat you like family from the second you walk in.

The food is fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. The fried calamari was light, crispy, and perfectly seasoned (not greasy at all). The shrimp Alfredo was rich and creamy, with tender shrimp and pasta that tasted homemade. The pizza had that perfect crispy crust, and the garlic bread was the best one I have ever tried!

It’s not a huge place, but that’s what makes it so special. You feel like you’ve stumbled into a true neighborhood treasure. If you’re craving authentic Italian comfort food in a relaxed, friendly setting, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Incredible Pizza — I’ll Be Back! I don’t usually write reviews, but this place absolutely deserves one. From the moment I walked in, the smell of fresh dough and melted cheese was amazing — I knew right away I was in for something good. The pizza was perfect. The crust was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and had just the right amount of char. The sauce was rich and flavorful without being overpowering, and the cheese… well, let’s just say they know what they’re doing. Every topping tasted fresh and thoughtfully chosen. What really made the experience stand out was the service. The staff was genuinely friendly and attentive, and it was clear they care about their food and their customers. They made us feel welcome, which isn’t something you get everywhere. Bottom line: if you’re craving great pizza, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be back — probably sooner than I should!“

“Dinner and a show. Everything on the menu is absolutely amazing. “The Show” happens when you sit at Chef’s table and watch them team create one masterpiece after another. I watched them train a new employee to do the same! Pinch and pull the dough- enough sauce, but not too much. Carefully and skillfully place all ingredients! final inspection before the fire and then another after. Watch for this and that before you serve. Pizza will. ever to the same for me.“

“The food from CJ's is amazing, they have some of the best pizza in Ephrata and some of the best staff.“

“We ate at the Lancaster PA location today. Service was top notch and food was great! Great experience!“

“By chance i googled pizza places near our hotel and this place came up 5 minutes from where we were staying. Needless to say this was the best New York Style pizza i have ever had. Friendly staff and honestly people who you can tell appreciate the art of pizza making and dang, wish we had this in Ohio!“

“Amazing food! And Chef Nino is an awesome human being who truly loves and supports his community.“

“The food at this location is consistently on point. Well crafted sandwiches that leave you satisfied and wanting more. I had the Tuna and cheese hoagie tonight, but the inspiration for this review was tasting my son’s Chipotle Chicken Cheesesteak. It was so good.“

“Great food, the best Pizza & they have friendly service“

“Grew up down the road been coming here since they opened In like 2010 I think it was… owners paid for my stuff at turkey hill twice and i never asked for it. And they have never made a mistake on any order of mine. The food is great too. The cicilan is fire. Prices are affordable“

“The food and service was so good!“

“I absolutely loved the food. My boyfriend and I were very satisfied.“

“I spent 3 days in Lancaster n I went on one bite pizza appt for best pizza in lancaster n out of the top 100 places only 4 places impressed me n Pizza City was one of them n not far from the motel where I was staying at so, it was a no Brainer. I have tried ALOT of pizza in my life n I do reviews. I was really impressed on how good this was a true NY style pizza. Thin crust, well cooked undercarriage, good amount of tasty sauce with just enough cheese with zero grease. Highly recommend it here n just wished it was closer. Also, prices extremely reasonable to where I live.“

“I ordered for pick up, the mixed cheese sub, with a light amount of cheese, and my order taker, a very nice sweet lady, said she’d go to the kitchen and make sure they put on only the three pieces of cheese I requested! I’ve ordered many times, and she’s always been so friendly and kind.“

“Cute little place! Great atmosphere“

“Wonderful food, fast service and our server was great too. We dined outside and it started to rain a little and she offered us to come inside. We declined and she quickly got us boxes and our checks. The girl at the gelato- not pleasant at all. I sampled two, decided on 1 and then she says to me “the blue mat is down by the bar”. ?? I replied, what am I supposed to do with that. Apparently that is where you now pay for gelato which is not where I paid when I was there 3 months ago. She was rude to previous customer too.“

“My favorite Sicilian Pizza!“

“We found our way while riding our motorcycle, glad we did great food.“

“Our server, Rebecca, is excellent. She pays attention to our order and makes sure it is done as requested. The food is very tasty and the restaurant is very nice“

“Many times when we travel we choose chain restaurants as we know the quality of the food will be good and the service generally good as well. The Olive Garden stood out because of the staff. The gentleman who seated us was so friendly and nice I wish i had made note of his name. He did introduce himself, but I did not write down his name, and I can't remember it. Our server, Carly, was very friendly and helpful. She was knowledgeable, checked on our progress without being intrusive and made great suggestions that made our dining experience really great.“

“Usually very good but totally screwed up my order last night and this morning the guy on the phone told me "maybe" they could give me 10% off my next pizza. Threw it out, total waste of money. �“

“I have eaten here many of times. The food is always so good. I got two pizza's last night and it was really hard to eat because it had a burnt taste to it. I had gotten two pizza's and they both tasted the same. A little disappointing being I have always had great pizza from here. The burnt taste for me was so bad. Felt like I wasted $40 on pizza. I still give 4 stars because of past experiences.“

“Had two sandwiches, the Reuben and a chicken salad on cranberry walnut bread. Delish. Other restaurants could take lessons from them on how to make a Reuben. Where they fell short was with the overpriced drinks, Autumn rum runner and a martini. The martini came with a 2" square ice cube and not much drink. They need to take lessons from Penn's Tavern Restaurant on how to make a rum runner. No one has beat theirs yet.“

“I just love this place for any italian food. Been going there a long time. I live close by. The food is always good and the staff is always so nice. Thanks Frank and the staff.“

“We ordered and picked up 7 pizzas for a birthday party. It was so convenient to the East Lampeter Community Township Park. The pizza was excellent. Next time we’re in town we will visit and eat in. The place was very clean and staff pleasant.“

“I have never been a fan of the Olive Garden, but friends who were visiting wanted to go there to eat dinner. I was pleasantly surprised!! We visited the Lancaster Olive Garden near the Park City Mall. Our server, Mallory, couldn't have been more attentive. The people we dined with were very demanding but Mallory took it all in stride and accommodated all of their requests. She also made the best salad I've ever had at Olive Garden - yes, your server prepares the salads. Our food was delicious, fresh and served hot. Tonight's experience has really changed my mind about Olive Garden and I will definitely return!!“

“It's been a while since I been here and it didn't disappoint either. I ordered the Special CheeseSteak and wow, Grand slam again!!! As I said before, Best outside of Philadelphia. Our waitress was the best too, Jordan, she had a great personality and was a real gem. Great job in the kitchen. Next time is pizza“

“Pizza and pasta dinners are the best around!!!!!! Owners are awesome too!!!!“

“Love the food and the service. The mini Hawaiian boli, AWESOME.“

“I ordered a Philly cheesesteak sandwich, and it was just average—nothing too special. It could have used more cheese, as it felt a bit dry; these sandwiches typically have a lot of cheese. On a positive note, the French fries were good, and the service was swift.“

“We got our food pretty fast and it was pretty tasty. As soon as I got up to go get ketchup an employee was already bringing us some. Once we were done with our meal the same employee helped us put our trays away and throw out our trash. Overall very helpful. I definitely recommend.“

“Best food and customer service all day every day! Di’Maria’s in Lititz 10/10 highly recommend!“

“the best pizza in Lancaster, I recommend Italian cheesesteak pizza and fajita pizza. also lamb over rice and chicken over rice amazing ...“

“Stopped in to relax after a long day with my wife. We were seated immediately. Another couple was seated after we were, and there drink order taken while we waited. Numerous waiters walked past and only looked at us. Waiter came back with there drinks and took there food order while we still waited. We finally said something and the comment was made, oh nobody waited on us yet and off she went. We finally stood up and left, and on the way out somebody was headed our way. While we were waiting 2 waitresses standing at the end of the bar on there phones. Great outdoor place, but last several times service has been horrible. More interested in talking to each other and being on there phones. Don't ask for more information on who it may have been as was asked in previous complaints, just fix it.“

“Highly recommend used it for an engagement party. Good service good food good drinks all around a great time!!“

“Wonderful experience friendly staff“

“Had friends in from Va. and they asked for pizza. The service was terrific. The crust is amazing. We had the spinach, arugula, onion white pizza. It was delicious that evening and the leftover slice just as good, cold, the next day! Thanks Rendezvous. You did not disappoint.“

“Best NY style thin crust pizza around!! So good, we have been searching for great pie since relocating to the area and so glad we stopped in. Clean, friendly service in beautiful downtown Litiz, Pa. If you’re in the area looking for a good pizza, don’t look anywhere else! Thank you Ninos. ❤️🤍💚“
