Hear from our valued guests
Amazing service all the way around. Fantastic food with a wide variety to choose from menu. Staff is all so friendly and hard working. Prices are amazing for such fantastic pizzas and more. Pick-up orders are done almost exactly when they say they’ll be. The only place my family and I go for some of the best meals we’ve had.
As a fellow Italian. One of the best pizza crust around and Italian cuisine. The food is always amazing
It was closer to closing when I called in my order. The young man that took my order was prompt and polite. When I arrived likely the same young man greeted me as I walked in the front door. Promt service. Greeted by multiple people that were in and out of the kitchen. ( A simple hello, how are you?, goes a long way for some!!!!!) As I left and said thank you have a good night I herd multiple say thank you. You too as I left. Everything id expect from a small town restaurant! Welcoming family vibes!! Love it! !
We love Valentino’s! So far it’s the best local pizza we’ve found. My personal favorite is the Buffalo chicken. It’s like buffalo chicken dip, my fav, on a pizza.
Highly recommend - we stumbler upon this place leaving Mohegan Sun and it was delicious!!!! Service was excellent food delicious and great Vibe! We will be back!
I was very pleased with the friendliness of the staff. They checked on us often. My date was impressed as well with his food. He ordered off menu and loved the chicken dish. I had the manicotti. Serendipitously the sauce was in a heart shape. Such a good sign for such a great place. I also enjoyed the garlic bread!
Took home some take out for the family today. I was pleasantly surprised with the patients and understanding of the young man who took my order at the counter, good job. Definitely is a friendly mom and pop restaurant. The kind man who took my order seemed very close with the pizza chef. Thank you for the hospitality. Food was pretty good and was made very fast 👍
Can’t say enough good things about this place. Wife and I often do a takeout Friday nights. Pies are amazing. I like the Pizza Bianco myself, absolute quality, but I’ve been branching out to the veal grinder lately. Stellar. Get a side of Italian sausage or the meatballs while you’re there. Won’t be disappointed.
Just a great pizza place, was in town and stopped to grab 2 heroes and of course an order of onion rings. Everything came out just as ordered and it was delicious a nice portion and a fair price. We had a young girl for our waitress and she was very helpful, Courteous and quick. Good experience & nice to see everyone talking and interacting with customers and not their phone..
My husband ordered a meatball calzone. It was definitely enough for two people. He said it was really good, took half of it home with extra sauce as well. I had the Valentino's salad. It was loaded with chicken, candied walnuts, raisins. I added feta cheese to mine. The balsamic dressing is awesome!
