Bellacino’s Pizza And Grinders

This was our first time at Bellacino’s but it won’t be our last. Day trip to Lexington and wanted an early dinner. When we arrived shortly after 4 on a Sunday, it was pretty much deserted so no waiting for a table or to place an order. Employees were friendly and efficient, our food was out quick. We got pizza with half cheese/​half pepp. Adequate cheese to cover sauce, always appreciated and baked to perfection. The pepperoni was too spicy for me and reminded me of something on a frozen pizza but my husband loved the slight kick. Dining room and restrooms were clean, we’d definitely return.

It was crowded when we arrived on Sunday around 1:00,
The service was timely, the Pizza was excellent!
Very friendly staff, excellent Pizza!
We had the Bellacino’s Special, I recommend it!
It was my first time and it will not be my last.

I had absolutely horrible experience working under these managers. Extremely rude and mean people, and I’ve never felt so unwelcome at a restaurant. Foods alright, I’d rather go to the Panera next to it though. If you want pizza, worth the extra mile to go to Schlotzkys.

My son is a big fan of the cheeseburger pizza here! We will get take out once in a while. The Greek salad is usually my go to, it is large and yummy. I do wish they would give better dressing than Kens packets, for some reason I have a thing with packets of dressing. eeww). They do have wonderful French fries, random and so good!!! The grinders I was hoping would be a little better than they are, especially since they called them grinders! I do like the fact they have thin crust and it isn’t dough crust, the pizza is pretty good. We enjoy it and wish they delivered considering they have a pimped out Bellicinos car!

Bellacino’s has some of the best pizza in town! Fresh ingredients, hot and tasty! My wife and daughter love their Greek salads and my son loves their wings. After spending the last 20+ years in Chicago we know GOOD pizza when we have it; and this is really good pizza! They also have a dessert pizza that’s awesome! Those reviews that claim Bellacino’s is no better than Pizza hut or Papa Johns don’t know where they ate, but it wasn’t here! Just moved here after living in Chicago since the ’85 Bears won the Supper Bowl. We know pizza — this place has the right stuff! The owner has a good sense of humor, and good with kids and makes you feel welcome. Great family run business and one of our favorites in Lexington! Worth the drive from anywhere in town!

The good: the price, the bad: quality, the interior: generally delivery, inside is a basic pizza place.
The good: the pizza and grinders really are cheap, along with that comes a decrease in value, the cheese is good though.
The bad: the bread is chewy and thin, no real taste to it. Sometimes delivery can be slow taking up to an hour. The quality of anything other than cheese is cheap sandwich meat.
The interior: only been in once, you can tell this place is meant to be delivery for sure. Nothing impressive to go in for.
The rundown: if this is all there is that delivers to you it is ok, the people are nice except when they are busy then they can be a little curt. Truthfully papa johns is better but I would go for old Chicago.

Have been here on several occasions it’s consistent we have tried pizza salads, grinders and cheese sticks never disappoints and you can tell they actually make the pizza dough here and they make there own bread for the grinders too, you get a lot of food here and prices are very reasonable

The grinders are very good. I would compare them to Mancino’s in Georgetown and Lexington. It’s definitely near the top of my list when I’m in the mood for a better sandwich. I would agree with the other reviewers that the staff is very friendly and helpful.

My family and I had a great meal ! The pizza and subs were excellent. The friendly atmosphere and staff were welcoming.
We would define my return. It’s also great for delivery. The owner did a treasure hunt with the youngest which she really enjoyedI
No need to look any further this is the place to frequent…

FANTASTIC! !! I have gone to most of the pizza joints around lexington and this is the Best sandwiches by far. Great service nice atmosphere.

Very tasty lasagna! Fresh sandwiches on toasted bread, a good variety to choose from. Small sandwiches to large. Quality and prices are a plus.

Stopped here to grab a quick sandwich after dropping the kids off at «Get Air».
Got the Italian Grinder. Comes in 4.5, 9 and 18 inches.
I got the 9 inch and it was almost too much to eat.
Plenty of meat, cheese and veggies on toasted bread. High quality and tasted great.
Quick service also.

Love the Chicago steak and the cheesy bread! The owners are really nice too, not to mention live music for bike night!

I’d equate it to Pizza Hut, but with better service. There are three things to a traditional pizza: crust, sauce and toppings (cheese included). The crust was soggy/​spongy, the sauce was bland, but the toppings were fairly decent. I might be too critical as I think most pizza places here in Lexington are sub-​par, but if you took this and compared it to a Lou Malnati’s pizza (Chicago), you’d completely understand.

As always had a great meal here. I had the bellacinos club, my husband had the brazen buffalo chicken and my daughter the ham and cheese kids sandwich. They are kid friendly here with a «treasure» map for the kids to lock out a free toy in the treasure chest.
The cheeses bread sticks are delicious. The bread tastes fresh and is light and crispy around the edges. They do have free wifi and saw they had gluten free pizzas.

Ate here for lunch while visiting family in Kentucky. I had eaten at a Bellacinos back home in NC and wasn’t impressed so I wasn’t expecting too much when my brother suggested this place for lunch. But I was presently surprised!!! Lunch was great! I ordered the turkey light sub and it was very tasty for a «healthy» option! The bread was light and crispy and is said to be baked fresh daily. My brother ordered a pizza for him and the kids, the crust was light and crispy and the sauce was flavorful. My aunt ordered the Italian sub and loved it! Check it out if you have a chance… Neat place to have lunch!

I love the pizza at Bellacino’s! I always get the Bellacino’s Pride with green olives instead of black. It is always piled high with tons of toppings and cheese… just the way I like. We usually get the large so we can take leftovers home. It heats up beautifully!

If you’re familiar with Mancino’s or Theresa’s, this is pretty similiar. I will say that the grinder sizes are completely crazy here… and I love it. Sandwiches come in 4.5 inches, 9 inches, and 18 inches. Trust me, I’m a big dude, and 4.5 inches really should be enough. All the sandwiches I’ve had so far have been extremely tasty. and I’ve even had the manager cut me a deal before when an extra sandwich got made. Definitely good experiences here! The fried banana peppers are definitely delicious as well. I heartily recommend the A1 Bomber and Cajun Chicken grinders.
