“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!“

I have tried to make it at home but it was always ok . My hats off to everybody there, you all did great!“

“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.“

“The food is fantastic, as well as the service. Unfortunately, Rockwall snobs insist on trying to get freebees. If you like thin crust, you found the spot. Another go-to is the chopped salad. Ignore the “foodies”. Go enjoy the place. If you want to be treated like royalty, go to Ruth’s Chris.“

I hope to see him the next time I’m in there!!!!“
