“Cheesy and saucy pizza and friendly staff. EVERYTIME i go here the pizza is always a hit. They are usually busy inside especially on Fridays. which can be understood for having to wait longer as some reviews mentioned. Talked to staff and owner a couple times and he seems to be heavily involved in the business and management. A knowledgeable man who can talk about the craft of how the pizza is made/ ingredients. Definitely a place to stop by if you’re in the area. The desserts are always a plus ?“

“Traveling for business and stopped in here. People actually spoke and had a conversation. Travel a lot for business and it’s so nice to meet an owner that all the patrons enjoy talking with. Salmon was amazing! Prices were also very reasonable.“

“Buen servicio nos brinda la señora María estar como en casa gracias, pero falta en el bufet más variedad de comida“

“Excellent restaurant. The best pizza I’ve had!!“

“normally get pizza sometimes a pasta dish. I am Italian so after six decades of cooking Italian food from scratch I find the food acceptable. I was not a fan of the garlic knots.

Nothing over the top excellent, but if your in the mood for something Italian and don't feel like cooking I don't think you will be disappointed.

I would open your pizza before you leave once in a blue moon the toppings are not correct.“

“Valentines in Haymarket is the best!“

“A quaint restaurant with great wait staff!“

“Came here for a slice and a soda today, though I usually get the Greek salad to go with it.

As usual, my slice of pepperoni was delicious, a good size, and ready quickly.

Service I was on point as always (and it gets super busy on Friday nights).

I didn't get dessert today but I've tried all of them at some point and they're all delicious.

Place was clean and I'll be back next week! ?“

“We got the Super Zap today and it is amazing! I got the large but started eating half before I remembered to take a picture. We love the hoagies here and haven’t gotten a bad one. If you like a good hoagie these are the best in the area. The bread is really good too. My husband and I always spilt a large one and it is very filling. Definitely recommend and we are definitely regulars!

Parking: Parking is very easy. Big parking lot shared with shopping center.

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and my child likes the booths seating.“

“Pizza is good but don't order a sub... it was worse than subway! Stingy with their meat...two slices of ham, two slices of salami and maybe two slices of provolone! We are talking on a SMALL sub roll. pathetic. Note to self, no more subs from them! The only thing we could taste was the roll. definitely overpriced. Where we come from, we could barely finish a half for the same price! This was merely a sandwich. Maybe look up how to make an Italian Sub.....I attached a picture of a real Italian sub and what it should look like. PS.... I put why would I recommend this place.... my only option was curbside pickup!“

“I had the best experience at Paisanos Pizza, thanks to Michael, the manager store manager. He’s super friendly, professional, and ensures every customer is happy with their order. The pizza is consistently delicious, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommended!“

“Loved This Place Since I Was A Kid Great Food Pizza Steak & Cheese & Gyros“

“I moved to a new area and this was the closest pizza joint. They have only failed me 1 out of 10 times with quality, (my Stromboli was overcooked and significantly smaller than other orders). I’m now a devoted customer with their app and will never go back to the ‘fast food pizza’“

“First time getting Sbarros yestarday. And let me tell yall this, It exceeded my expectations by ALOT. The crust was amazing. I love me some NY style pizza and its hard to find authentic ones, let alone decent ones here in the dmv. But this is as close as it gets! Giving it a 5 star because of the very friendly staff members!“
