I have not been here in a while but every time I have been since the tender age of 16 it is amazing. Chad Skipper doesnt know what hes talking about...they have a sign on their register that says cash only...learn to read sonny boy .....Best italian food in town.....Chad must like to eat crap cause he dont know what good italian food is ....Pizza Italian has some good italian food.....anyone who reviewed this place badly should get laid by a woman with an STD...and people SPELL CHECK BEFORE WRITING A REVIEW ...That goes for you Emily Dale...its spelled APPEARANCE not apperience...and chad you used the wrong form of the word too....you should have put "too much sauce instead of to much sauce if that is how you feel. PROPER GRAMMAR AND SPELLING. LEARN IT PEOPLE BEFORE POSTING A REVIEW...GO BACK TO THE SECOND GRADE IF YOU HAVE TO.

Great food, especially for the price! $10 will get you stuffed (including drinks) and then some. Fare is classic, standard Italian-American which means lots of pasta and red sauce, and all entrees come with a side salad. Simple, good price, good ingredients, good food. There are delicious vegetarian options on the menu as well, though most dishes have meat sauce or some form of meat in them. A few caveats: NO SUBSTITUTIONS. Please dont ask the waitress to do substitutions, the cook will yell at her. Last time I went the waitress seemed pretty stressed so we were extra nice to her. Her service was still great though. CASH ONLY. No cards. Probably no checks as well.

Pizza Italian looks like a fine enough little mom and pop place. We decided to check it out. I ordered the Greek salad and my boyfriend ordered a cheese pizza. The lettuce on the salad was old and yellow. There was not one inch of green on the whole plate besides the peppers and olives and it was topped with about a cup of feta. The pizza had so much cheese on it we had to pull alot of it off but it didnt have very much sauce. The crust was quite good. The cups were so tiny we had to get refills several times. Lastly, the place only accepts cash. I dont think we will ever return again.

Came in here for the first time, the customer service for the waitress could of been better she didnt look like she wanted to be there. We ordered to go so for it being our first time we didnt know it was cash only they should put on there website that its cash only so to tell people who dont have cash. So came back here after going the atm and about the only good thing for this place is food was pretty good the lasagna wasnt that bad maybe a little to much sauce but rather than that a good portion. Probably wont be back, they need to work on customer service.

The second time we went to Pizza Italian, Gus greeted us by name and asked about my son, who had eaten there often, but had never been there with me. The food is good, authentic old world cuisine, the way only Greeks can do Italian. I usually have the chicken parmesan. My daughter likes the spinach ravioli. Weve never had a pizza there, but must do so before the restaurant closes. The atmosphere matches the old world style. I wish someone could keep it going. I love this restaurant and will miss it.

This is good Italian food. Gus makes the best homemade blue cheese salad dressing I have ever tasted. He even sales it so you can take some home with you. And you will want to take it home with you. From the garlic bread to subs to the lasagna. It is good food, prepared by a good man, sold at a fair price. I have been going to Pizza Italian since 1979, and I have never had a bad meal. You will have a good experience at Pizza Italian.

OMG, this place freaking rocks!! The food is amazing, the service is great, and the decor.....well it is not the best really, but the food!!!! Talk about a mom or pop diner with only one focus....a real good bang for your buck Italian food. Cash only guys. I would tell you the truth about this place....dont go on a romantic date to this place unless your date enjoys laid back bust booth type of place but with amazing food.

Great prices and generous portions and fairly tasty. Service is mostly hit or miss as to whether or not theyll check back with you to see if you are enjoying the food, need anything else, or choking. All in all I like it because of the atmosphere and its family owned. If the service was better, i.e. smiles, checking back, some verbal acknowledgement that theyre glad you chose to eat there it would Rick a 4.5 rating.

Waitress was unpleasant, idk if she knew how to smile. Garlic bread had no taste of garlic. The tea was a waste of money, tasted like lemon water. And the pizza had a lot of cheese which I liked but had almost no sauce on it. The crust tasted like it had been a frozen pizza from Save Alot. The extra sauce we ordered, cause it didnt come with garlic bread, was okay.. best tasting thing we had. Will never go back.

Pizza on my own, pizza with friends, pizza with my family...it does not matter actually. The better the company, the better the experience. Still the key factor in this equation is the pizza. I love the variety here. It cannot be said that everything is as good as the other, but a hungry man/woman will surely find his/her pizza of the day here.

Dont let the older apperience fool you, this is a great Italian restaurant! The egg plant parm is to die for! The pizza is amazing too topped with cheesy goodness that brings comfort to the soul! My parents have been going to this restaurant for 30 years and continue to go! if you havent tried this whole in the wall treasure youre missing out!

Bad experience the blonde with the nose ring tried to make me look like an idiot for not seeing "cash only" on the online menu. I asked for my ingredients on the side and paid for extra meatballs. I didnt check at the place because I was pissed but when I got home, no meatballs. Service is outdated! Its 2017 who doesnt take credit/debit.

Weve been coming here for 27 years. Great, simple Italian food, unfussy service and decor. Feels like grandmothers house!! Help out the independent business owner like Gus at Pizza Italian and give it a try.

Cash only and the pizza was mediocre at best. Tasted like cheap highly commercial ingredients you might find on a frozen pizza. Maybe the entrees are better but I wont be going back to find out.

Have eaten here for 35 years!! Gus does a great job with tasty food at very low price. Try the chicken parmesan. Not for ambience but who cares?

Great value, good food, Riverside atmosphere. If you dont like this places atmosphere, Riverside probably isnt the neighborhood for you.

My Pops started taking the family here in the 70s. The quality is just as good now as it was then. Everything Gus makes is stupendous!
