  My family and I have recently moved to Aiken and we are so thankful to have found this place! The staff is very friendly and the food is the highest quality you can find in the state! This is a small business focused on quality above all else so sometimes the wait is longer if they’re busy, but the food is worth it! The dough is crunchy but not filling, the sauce has that fresh tomato flavor, and the cheese is just perfection. Our favorites are the New Haven and the Margherita - vera. If you’re in the area and have the time to enjoy a certified authentic Italian experience, you won’t be disappointed!

  I was in Aiken for work this week and finally had a chance to stop by for a late lunch on my way out of town. My pizza was amazing—fresh ingredients and not a heavy meal like American style pizza. I ended my meal with Spumoni Bomba and was not disappointed. The staff (including the owner) were kind and attentive. I don’t anticipate that I’ll have reason to be back in Aiken, but if I ever am I will make a point to stop in again.

  So I have decided to rate them with a 3 based first on price versus size. Selling a small pizza as a large at a large pizza price. $20 for a small.(their large) is over priced. The photo added is a normal size dinner plate just to give you a reference to their large pizza. I ordered a pepperoni and a black olive as you can see there is very very little pepperoni added. Their cheese is good sauce is pretty decent a little on the thin side. I just finished the pie unfortunately I’m still a little hungry. However, I must admit it was delicious. If they could increase their size , I feel like they could be a definite contender. Understand I come from New York known for pizza and some other things we will not discuss. I will be a return customer.

  One of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time. I ordered a New Haven pizza and side salad after a long day of work in Aiken, SC. PROS: The crust was thin and crispy on the New Haven pizza. I always thought that a New Haven pizza was without cheese and only tomato sauce with some pecorino, but I really enjoyed this pizza and ate the whole thing. The salad was delicious and blueberry pomegranate, balsamic vinaigrette had a lot of flavor. CONS: The pizza was not cut, despite the menu saying that it would be cut. Some pizzas on the menu say UNCUT next to the name of the pizza with the disclaimer that Neapolitan pizza should not be cut. Normally it wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but I was staying in a hotel but the plastic fork and knife they gave me was enough to cut the pizza. It was $26 for a 12 inch pizza and some spring mix and halved cherry but I don’t mind paying that much for a meal when it is high-quality. And this pizza and salad was very delicious. They gave me a 8:05 PM pick up time but when I walked in at 7:55 the pizza was being put into the box so that could have something to do with it not being cut. Overall, this was a high-quality pizza and salad, and it was very delicious after a long day of work. The next time I’m in Aiken, I plan to order from here again. Highly recommend!

  This place has the best authentic pizza we’ve had in a long time or ever. I recommend eating here. If it’s busy you may wait awhile for your food as they take their time and make it delicious.

  I don’t leave many negative reviews, but this visit deserves an honest and detailed account. From the moment my group walked in, the atmosphere felt cold and unwelcoming. We were greeted with a dismissive attitude, and when I politely asked the woman at the counter where their trash can was, she ignored me entirely. Confusing and Inconsistent Ordering System They seat you as if it were a normal dine-in restaurant but then require you to stand up again and order everything at the counter — and still pay at the end. I even attempted to pay when I placed my order, and they refused. The process makes no sense and does not match the dine-in setup they present. They also have multiple menus online with different prices, and when asked about updating or correcting them, they simply refuse. Unprofessional Behavior From the Owner After placing my order, the man in the back — I was told his name is Cliff, and that he is the owner — commented about “no outside food or drinks.” I explained that the bottle I carried in was empty when I arrived, and that we were already drinking items purchased from the restaurant. Instead of listening, he doubled down and said: “No outside trash either. Put it in your car.” This was especially absurd considering there is not a single trash can outside the building at all. I had to walk to another shop in the same strip mall just to throw away a 16-oz bottle. The attitude and pettiness from the owner were unnecessary and unprofessional. When I returned, the experience had already been ruined, so I asked them to cancel my order. Food Quality and Portion Inconsistencies Two people in my group — who have eaten here before — ordered meatballs and a pizza for the table, and I tasted the food with them. Unfortunately, the food did not redeem the experience. The pizza was slightly cold despite looking burnt. The brick oven clearly isn’t seasoned well; the pizza had almost no flavor. The meatballs were not good. Our meatballs were extremely small and served on cheap plates. The table next to us received noticeably larger meatballs on different plates. Even the returning guests in my group said the portions used to be much larger. The inconsistency in both portion size and presentation was obvious and disappointing. Throughout the entire visit, Cliff behaved as though he didn’t want to serve us at all. His tone, attitude, and general behavior created an uncomfortable atmosphere from start to finish. The only positive thing about this restaurant is the use of a traditional brick oven — but even that couldn’t save the overall experience. Between the rude behavior, dismissive attitude, confusing ordering system, inconsistent menus, lack of trash cans, bland food, portion inconsistencies, and the owner’s unprofessional conduct, this was easily one of the worst dining experiences I have had locally. I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone expecting respect, consistency, or basic professionalism. Because TripAdvisor (like Google) does not allow customers to reply directly to an owner’s comment beneath the review, I am including my response here. After I posted my review elsewhere, the owner replied publicly — not by addressing any of the concerns mentioned, but by insulting me personally. I ate the food my friends paid for because that is basic manners, when someone buys you something, you don’t waste it. That does not magically make the service or experience good. His response only confirmed everything I described: He did not address the rude service. He did not address the ignored question. He did not address the lack of a trash can. He did not address the menu discrepancies. He did not address the portion issues. He did not address the cold, flavorless food. Instead, he doubled down with personal comments and hostility. A professional business owner would: address issues raised in a review, accept feedback and respond respectfully. His reply did none of these things. Thank you for publicly confirming the exact behavior I witnessed in the restaurant.

  The food is worth it but there’s not much else. In a strip it’s very American that way but honors the Pizza Napoli traditions with a well made pie of fresh ingredients. But I think they want to be like the famous Apizza in New Haven. Atmosphere is non existent, you are treated like cattle and the owners seem to have employees terrified. Service consists of the food being brought to your table. Ordering evokes the Seinfeld “Soup Nasty” episode, it’s hard to keep a straight face, you are also often reminded to not request your pizza be cut before being brought to you and “to eat with a knife and fork like they do in Italy. It would be one big joke were the pizza not so terrific. Desserts? You decide, way too sweet for me I’ve been a number of times and love the pizza, the rest? It’s up to you

  Authentic Italian style pizza with fresh ingredients imported from Italy. Staff were friendly and inviting. Prices are average. Food was delicious! Everyone in our family loved this pizza and the garlic Parmesan cheese bites. Absolutely recommend
