Sole D’Italia Pizza

Got the Monday pasta special. Everything except the pasta and sauce was tasty. The sauce for the spaghetti was extremely spicy. I ate a few bites last night but filled up with the salad and bread. I brought the leftover pasta to work and still couldn’t eat it. I called the restaurant and no one knows anything. It wasn’t good at all.

I ordered the food online which was easy but the food took over an hour to be delivered. When it finally arrived the delivery driver handed a receipt to be signed but the food was more expensive than online (the tip wasn’t included).
Food tasted like it had been in the car for ages!
Edible but not great!

Manager was very rude you made it very clear an hour before the store closes not to dine in apparently they’re like closing the dining room I mattered before the restaurant closes manager’s name is chance and I can guarantee you there is no chance he will ever see me or my family or my friends there again at the baseball games and on top of all that he wanted to prove me wrong he still needs a lot to learn about customer service I’m surprised he’s not fired yet

If you want a mediocre cheap pizza that is so burned that it will crunch when bite into the crust, then this is your place to go. I think their pizza oven is too hot because on half price pizza Tuesdays, its very busy and since they open the oven a lot more, the pizza isn’t so burned. If you order pizza on a slower night, the crust will be almost black. The crust itself tastes bland and so does the sauce. They don’t put much cheese on. If the pizza was good we would go regularly since it’s so close but we stopped going. They try to get everyone taken care of, it’s just that the food is so bland and cheap tasting.

I usually always get the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken from here (which is excellent) but today I decided to branch out and try and Italian cold cut. A cold cut is not my usually choice of sub but I was craving one for a few days. I was disappointed needless to say. It tasted like a cold cut you would get from a chain restaurant like Subway. Did kit taste authentic at all. However, like I said their pastas are amazing and will never disappoint. Enjoy!

Absolutely delicious hole in wall place. I got surprised with half-​priced Pizza on tuesday. This may be my new regular. Absolutely wonderful, worth full price. Check it out!

This place used to have the best pizza and very good subs. Now the pizza is good, the subs are not very good and the entrees are a little better than frozen style dinners. The pizza is still good pizza but it is very hit and miss. For my last 3 visits I would say the pizza was really good only 1 time.

Good service. The guy remembered our large order without having to write it down. Very impressed. Great food too. Really large portions on the kids menu. We should have shared 1 pizza for our 2 kids, and it was really good pizza too. Amazing calzones. Ok steak subs, I felt like the subs were missing something, some kind of spice maybe. But otherwise a really amazing family restaurant.

Pizza is pretty good. I always get it delivered and the drivers are always quick and friendly.

PLACING AND RECEIVING ORDER–
First time i placed an order for this restaurant using Unilocal and eat24. The ordering process is always smooth and quick and usually the description for food items is good enough to create a picture in your head… Or so i thought (more in food part of review) ! After having placed my order it took about 30 – 40 mins well within the est. time frame no problem ! The delivery guy greeted me with a smile and friendly hello !
FOOD–
Today i ordered a Grilled cheese sandwich and an order of the tenders and fries. The grilled cheese was amazing great toasty bread and stuffed with american cheese one of the top grilled cheese sandwiches i have tasted in the area ! The tenders and fries are another story and left me wanting more!!! The «JUMBO» TENDERS ended up being medium sized tenders with no crispy or juicy flavor, instead i got chewy flavorless chicken tenders and the fries were cooked but rather pale and once again flavorless both the tenders and fries lacked much salt !
Final thoughts —
The tenders and fries were a large part of the meal and the description for this item on the order menu are not the same. The grilled cheese and the great delivery service were amazing! Overall steer clear of the tenders and fries !

This is the only place where I have seen a good ol’-fashioned bar fight!
The steamed shrimp here is incredible – especially if Andy makes it. They have a juke box that works about 80% of the time (but you’ll probably get a fraud alert on your credit card from it), and the bartenders are fun and make delicious shooters (ask for the cinnamon toast crunch). They also have a pretty good beer bottle selection for a dive bar.
Overall, a pretty low-​key dive bar with *ahem* «interesting» clientele. Take an Über, try the steamed shrimp, and drink some delicious shooters and great beer.

Forget able food. Takes forever to get that food. No thanks. I’ll go to pizza stop in the shopping center next door!

Sole D’talia has been here for decades. It used to be a dumpy restaurant, but they remodeled and it looks better. You order at the counter and wait for them to call your number. You can get beverages at the fountain or get bottles from the refrigerator.
The pizza is surprisingly good. The crust, sauce, and cheese taste almost as good as a New York pizza. The other food is more average. Pasta dishes are okay but nothing special. I think their entrees used to come with salads, but they don’t anymore.
Four stars for the pizza, two or three for the other food.

Do they purposely ignore customers of color?
I’m hoping the pizza will be better than their customer service! Or lack thereof. I can’t believe I stood at the counter for over 5 minutes before any staff looked in my direction or talked to me! No welcome or greeting. It made me wonder if they only greet white customers… and ignore minorities! Looking around the restaurant I noticed I was the only person of color inside.
They «discourage» the use of credit cards on Tuesday. Better advertising is needed so patrons know that information PRIOR to paying for their food.

As always I’ll speak of my experience, went here one night to sit down and it was too busy where there was a wait. I figured wow, a local Layhill place like this in a smaller shopping plaza is hopping so much that there’s a wait… pretty cool.
I went back and got delivery. A pizza and some wings, the delivery guy was either incompetent. Or he decided to take our pizza and wings and throw them around the car for 20 minutes for his enjoyment. Got it and there was wing sauce all over the bag from being tossed around and the pizza had cheese stuck to the box and was all over the place.
I guess be careful if you’re getting delivery, otherwise it looks like a good place to dine in.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this place after reading the mixed bag of reviews here. It was busy during our visit.
I ordered the lasagna. The salad was huge and fresh. The lasagna was a very generous portion as well. I loved the garlic bread.
My friend ordered the eggplant Parmesan. He was pleased with it. Another generous portion.
The music from the jukebox was a little too loud. They do not have table service, but the nice lady behind the counter delivered our food to us.
I will be returning. I recommend the place.

First review of 2015 and I wish it could be a more positive review, but an honest opinion is an honest opinion.
Sole D’Italia… much different from what I remembered… way back in 1987. Back then, this was the place to be. I remember it like yesterday, everyone from school came here after classes were out to line their quarters for Street Fighter 2 in a «winner stays» competition. If you weren’t playing that, you’d be chugging pitchers of soda and scarfing down some awesome loaded pizzas. From what I remember, albeit I was only 7 years old at that time, the toppings were big and fresh, unlike what you would get at Pizza Hut or Little Ceasars, which dominated pizza back then. Fast forward to the present, over two and a half decades later, the nostalgia was bitter-​sweet.
Stepping in, the atmosphere was just as I remembered, which isn’t a good thing. The décor looked like I was back in the 80s. Street Fighter has now been replaced with an iTunes juke box and an outdated Tekken Tag lays rest in a lonely corner by the entrance. What changed since ’87 is that they expanded, which is a bar I believe, which I did not venture over to. The ambiance is slightly depressing to me and could use a face lift. Now, the food.
Ordered a Combo Pizza (size doesn’t matter (wish that was what she’d say)), Fish and Chips, and a Philly Cheese Steak.
The pizza was dry and the onions were practically raw. It wasn’t cheesy and was lacking any pizzas a pizza should have. It literally tasted and very much looked like a pizza warmed up in a microwave from 2 nights ago. I’d rather eat a chain pizza any day over this.
Fish and Chips. Fish, greasy, as if the oil wasn’t hot enough, but quite dark, which lets me think that the oil hasn’t been changed out for awhile. The chips, or otherwise known as «French Fries», were stale and not crispy at all, which gave an extremely starchy mouth-​feel.
Philly Cheese Steak was okay. Rather small, but was at least juicy and well seasoned. An okay amount of meat and toppings.
Overall, I was very disappointed with my revisit of over 2.5 decades ago. This establishment has been around for quite some time, which is more than I can say about a lot of pizza restaurants, so they must be doing something right. But, whatever it is, I didn’t experience it.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!
I recently placed an order from here for delivery. It took way over a hour for the food to come; only for them to forget my 5 year old’s kid pizza. When I called them back, I was told it will take 30 – 40 mins for the pizza to be delivered.
I’m livid I spent over $ 60 on TERRIBLE food and customer service. I ordered:
–Chicken Parmesan
made with frozen chicken
breading of chicken had absolutely no flavor
one slice of provolone cheese split in half for two pieces of chicken
–Calamari
shaped like onion rings
overcooked and rubbery
–Mini Burgers
frozen beef patties
overcooked and rubbery
buns hard as rocks
–Lamb Gyro
decent at best
I wish I could give this place zero stars.

From other reviews and our recent experience, it seems service is slipping at Sole D’Italia. My husband ordered a chicken cheese steak to go and the counter person said they didn’t have such a thing. Husband said we’d gotten them there before. Pretty soon counter person comes out and hands husband «our order». When he got it home it was a cold roll with a few slices of cold meat and a couple of sad tomatoes. I ended up having to totally remake it into a cheese steak sandwich. Next time I’m craving cheese steak we’ll go down the road to Stained Glass.

Sole’s is a classic for me. I have been eating it from a very young age. Their pizza is really good! I love getting pineapple and bacon pizza. It is a weird combo but it is absolutely delicious. Their white pizza is my absolute favorite. There is no better white pizza in the world than Sole’s, I guarantee it. It has a great garlicky taste to it. The crust is superb. Delivery is always pretty quick and they haven’t ever been late for me.
