Hence the chicken in the chicken parmesan tasted like an old refrigerator. They just don’t turn over enough of the ingredients to keep classic Italian staples like Chicken Parmesan and Lasagna fresh and they suffer.
What has happened to this restaurant is like so many others. From observation, the bulk of their current business is the brisk take-out at the counter for pizzas and calzones, but the sit down dining seems to be almost an annoyance. After we seated ourselves and greeted the disinterested cooks and server standing there, we noticed that there was a kind of film of grease on everything from the floors to the menus. But, as we all know, the food should speak for itself.
The décor is old and dingy and the lighting dark. Well, this is what I found: This establishment has been in the same location for decades (1982) and it shows. And that would be all you needed to know if that was the only thing on the menu. I'm am a complete pizza fanatic and I can say that the pizza is really good. Great atmosphere.I'm not sure I understand the 5 star reviews. Tastes vary and they would not have been here 40 years plus without a customer base who likes their style of thin crust. I would put Palermo's and Pizza Gallery as having much better thin crust. Overall there was nothing outstanding about the pizza, a typical thin crust. Crust or heel though was hard and dry which I don't like. It was good and remarkable they did not overbake floor, and burn or dry it out. The thin crust pizza may be the thinnest crust I have seen. Salad was disappointing, did not seem that fresh as compared to Palermo's or Pizza Gallery and it had too much dressing. I had a slice of pepperoni a lettuce salad with Caesar dressing and water to drink. If you want a salad and a slice and a beverage you have to buy individually. Their lunch specials are a full size pizza. I went there for the thin crust pizza to see how it compares with others I have had in Melbourne. More so in that everybody who came in at lunch were apparently regulars and were known by store. Offers table service and has 14 or so booths.
Traditional pizzeria with various Italian foods.
