“I would like to say I'm a person that didn't get to go to the dentist as a child. My first time going to the dentist was when I turned 18 and I took myself, it was a traumatic experience for me with mistakes being made. So needless to say, every dentist appointment, I'm a little anxious, but this dentistry was one of the most considerate and informative dentists I've ever been to. The whole staff was so kind and explained everything so plain. I'll definitely stick with them!“

“Napoli’s has the best Italian food in Rowlett. The owners are very sweet and I feel like family every time I visit. Must try the Canolli for dessert! The New York style pizza is amazing! I have tried everything there and it is all great food!“

“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!“

“Ok so, I finally got to try this place and it is exactly what I’ve heard, maybe even better because I always think everybody talks about good game. But WOW, I already made plans to go back again in a couple of days. I mean, your chicken Picotta w/extra capers is a definite must have again but come on, what’s your PIZZA like? I can’t wait, my pallet is still tingling from the last meal! 😋🤤“

“The service was great thanks to, who I assume to be the manager in a green shirt (Nametag I believe said Cherrie.) A mistake had been made and Cherrie fixed it and moved my family and I to a new table, offering to pay for our meal. The service here has always been great with food just the same, and I wouldn't expect any less.“

“My wife and I wanted to go out to eat on our wedding anniversary and I picked olive garden since the last time we were there it was great. I really do not eat out much I hate to pay so much more when I can make it better at home. Mike the lunch manager was great, the food was really good! The eggplant parmigiana was very good. I have tried to make it at home but it was always ok . My hats off to everybody there, you all did great!“

“Went for dinner with my sister on a busy Monday evening. Haven’t been to an Olive Garden in a while, because the past few visits had subpar food and service. However, tonight hit the mark on all accounts. Huge shoutout to our server Rooney. He had a busy section, but was still extremely attentive and personable. Amazing service and the food was great as well. Ask for Rooney next time, you won’t regret it.“

“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.“

“Great food, great service. My boys and I always enjoy some Samee's Pizza!“

“Being from Upstate New York, i have been looking for good NY style pizza I habe found it here at La Roma, thank you.“

“I went today around 11am and I want to shout out to the busser, a young black gentleman, who did a PHENOMENAL job. He prebussed, he got us drink refills, brought us pizza and dessert and was just the sweetest! This is our usual Friday lunch spot but the experience was elevated today bc of the wonderful worker! I hope to see him the next time I’m in there!!!!“

“Family owned and operated Italian food thats amazing! Always fresh, great service and super friendly! We love this neighborhood restaurant!“

“Great pizza and friendly people.“

“Nice ambiance, great food. The music guests were awesome last night.“

“We tried this place last night for the first time and were blown away! 🤩 This was using DoorDash to deliver so the food took at least 30 minutes to get to us. The pizza managed to stay crispy and absolutely delicious.

The whole family said it was the best pizza they had ever had so today for a late lunch we made the trek over to try it in person. Y’all…10 times better! The crust is soft yet crispy and the sauce so tasty. We tried the pizza with the works, a cheese pizza, and pepperoni. All of them sooo good. The calamari was next level and the house Italian dressing really flavorful. 😋 We are looking forward to coming back to try the pasta. 🍝

The staff was also super friendly and the restaurant very cozy - it would make a great date night place. 💕✨“

“This is our place anytime we're in the area and we're craving pizza. From the moment we walk in we feel welcomed. Everyone is always so helpful and nice. Not to mention their pizza is very tasty. Manager Scott has stopped at our table to ask how things are going and that's something we really appreciate. I will continue to recommend this Campisi's location to my family and friends.“

“Yummy. Best pizza in town“

“04/22/2025: Joe’s has been around for years and is a pretty decent Italian American food in the Mesquite/Sunnyvale area. The place does need a thorough interior refresh. It is really dated, dark and showing lots of wear and tear. My family and I only get food to go. Service is okay as well.“

“First time here and wanted to try it out. The pizza taste great and reminds me a little of pizza back home with the great tasting handmade crust. I like how the Italian sausage is crumbled and not big pieces. The wings were good too. I believe the older short guy with glasses who took my order and made it was the owner. He even greeted me and my fiance when we came in. Not too many ppl greet you nowadays nor do they speak on your way out. This is a family owned place but it could use some cleaning and slight remodeling. I felt bad because I feel like he may not have anyone to help in that area. I did not like that the price for the pizza on the menu didn't quite match what was on the board. $15 for a Large 3 topping that looks more like a medium. I also did not like how Abraham's customer service was when I tried to call back 20 minutes after we got home and ate to speak to the owner and tell him how much we enjoyed the pizza and wings. He was rude, rushy, unprofessional. He did not care about nothing I said, he was just rushing me to place an order when that was not what I called for. He said the owner left but I don't think the owner left because we literally was just there. I really hope that the guy wasn't really the owner the whole time. This place has potential though.“

“My husband has to avoid carbs as much as possible. Ordered the gluten-free crust (cauliflower crust) and it was crispy and phenomenal! We used to order thin crust, and the gluten-free was just as amazing. We have tried other establishments, but they do not compare.“
