The seabass was cooked perfectly — flavorful, tender, and one of the best I’ve had. My wife ordered the steak, and it was incredibly tender and cooked exactly right. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. The service was flawless from start to finish. The manager, Will, did an outstanding job ensuring everything ran smoothly and that we had a great experience. His attention to detail and professionalism really stood out.

“Received a gift card for the holidays, so I decided to treat my lady and myself to a nice dinner. We were sat immediately and served by the most friendly and kind server I’ve seen in a long time. She had a great attitude and we were pleasantly surprised to find out that she had just finished her training and this was her first solo shift. The food came out quickly and it was delicious. If you haven’t tried the Chicken Tortelloni Alfredo it is amazing. Great experience and will be back!“

“We love Campisi's! After being iced in the house for a few days, we were craving it. The pizza's are baked to perfection! Thin & crispy is what we love & it was piping hot! The service was amazing as well, as we were met by a friendly & eager staff!“

“This truly is a wonderful place to eat pizza! The meat lovers quesadilla that is keto is amazing for those that are looking for keto but still want to eat pizza. Also, Samee is a very personable guy and is always walking around seeing if anyone needs anything. It has always been a great experience at this restaurant! Very family oriented! & truly one of my faves.“

“This is my neighborhood pizza place. The pizza is great here. All fresh ingredients. It reminds me of pizza back in Chicago. The only critique I can give is the conveyor belt Pizza oven. If they used a pizza oven, I feel like this would be a 10 out of 10 Pizza.“

“Went there last night, awesome service, amazing food, the stuffed mushrooms were off the chart, along with our entrees! Staff made you feel like you were in Italy. Best Italian I have ever eaten. Hopefully we can get back out that way again soon!! Might have to have dessert the next time!!“

“Absolutely wonderful experience. The food was so good ! And the waiter we had was so friendly. great service and great food. Highly recommend.“

“I was pretty blown away by the quality of the food. The lobster ravioli was some of the best I’ve had anywhere.“

“Here to say we've ordered a variety of items from Dough a half dozen times now and they have proven to be consistently delicious 🍕. Tonight we had a pepperoni jalapeno pizza and a veggie alfredo pizza. Yum!“

“I could not recommend this place more! If you’re looking for a good spot to grab something filling and delicious; this is the place for you. The staff were so pleasant and accommodating. They checked in on us regularly. Highly recommend the pizza (they are all so good) and encourage you to order a salad because it was one of the best salads I’ve had.“

“Super delicious food and the atmosphere is very nice and comfortable, and the owner is the nicest❣️“

“This place was on point. Great value for the money. Quality of food and drink was good and staff was friendly and attentive. We will be back!“

“I loved it just like the Plano location I go to , this one was way smaller and I think less staff or rooms . I was there for awhile but even with that I was beyond amazed with the the people !!! Great services and loved how everything was explained .. and willing to advice with questions.“

“Zuko’s Pizza was recommended to us and did not disappoint! From the warm greeting at the door to the attentive service, we felt welcome right away. They only take cash, Zelle, or Cash App—not a problem these days. I had the Chicken Murphy—flavorful sauce, perfectly cooked mushrooms, just the right kick—absolute chef’s kiss! My husband had spaghetti with marinara and Italian sausage, with generous portions and a homemade-tasting sauce. Small, clean seating area and friendly staff all the way till we finished eating.Can’t wait to come back for the pizza!“

“Unbelievably delicious! The vodka sauce is the best and most unforgettable that I have ever had. The pizza is like my Italian grandmother kissed me from her resting place. The crust is light, airy, crispy PERFECTION! Cheese sticks OMG!!!!!! So perfect. Don’t go anywhere I will be back soon. Lol“

“To the manager at Napoli's in Wylie. I want to compliment you on your staff and the service I received the last couple of times I've been there throughout the Christmas holidays. These young people were very friendly to all customers both in person and on the telephone. They were busy about their task at hand. I never saw them cutting up or just standing around. They were all working. I want to give a special compliment to Joseph our waiter who checked on us several times throughout our meal even though it was crowded. He was very kind and respectful.And also to Caitlin or Kaylan who took my phone order. She was very friendly and helpful. If you have the funds I think these young people deserve a reward of some kind. Thank you for hiring and training your employees to treat customers in the way they would like to be treated. Have a great holiday season.“

“We have come here for years , some people will like and some not, not crowded you can actually talk to each other and not have kids running around and a bunch of racket. great place for a teenage guy to take a girl on a date that they can talk to each other. Entrees are large.“

“Yummy. Best pizza in town“

“It was very good and great service!“

“We’ve ordered pizza from here a few times already since we moved to Forney about 2 yrs ago now since we’ve never tried it before. We’ve never had any issues ordering online for pickup or even for delivery, and the pizza itself is just delicious! It’s always made fresh & we always feel some kinda way if we order from elsewhere bc we’ll end up saying “we should’ve just ordered from Marco’s” ? but long story short, we highly recommend Marco’s Pizza to everyone so if you’re in the Heath/Rockwall area stop by & grab you a box! ?“

“First time trying some food from this place and I will come back again. It's a pizzeria with great flavors. My favorite is the calzone. The pizza is better than your popular pizza chains. And it doesn't leave you bloated or feeling sorry later. That's when you know you just stumbled on a great place to eat.“

“Fantastic time visiting this place with my dad. I was so excited to see an eggplant parm sandwich on the menu. Everything was delicious and everyone working there was very nice. I live kinda far from here but if I am in the area again I will 100% stop back by.“

“Our networking group, The Local Business Blitz had an awesome experience at Palio’s in Royse City! Great food, friendly service, and you can really feel the family pride behind this place. The pizza and everything we tried was fresh and full of flavor.

Even better—getting to hear Will’s story of working his way up from dishwasher to owner makes you appreciate it that much more. This is what local business is all about.

Highly recommend stopping by and supporting this team!“

“Took advantage of the 2 LARGE pizzas for $24 deal that is offered on the website. Received my order and I’m a bit underwhelmed by the size of said pizzas. We love Marcos and have ordered large pizzas before and they were much bigger than these. They even sent these pizzas in large boxes. These are size medium at best. I am leaving high stars because the quality of pizza is excellent and we will order again. Just underwhelmed is all.“
