Unacceptable Service and Missing Food
My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. I ordered food but did not receive all my items. When I called to inquire, the staff member was unhelpful and argumentative, claiming I never ordered the missing item. Despite being promised a callback, no one ever contacted me. I paid $40 for two pizzas, and a $10 chicken Caesar salad was missing, leaving me with only a salad. It's unacceptable to pay for food that wasn't delivered, especially when I was required to pay upfront. This experience has left me down on a salad.

Surprisingly Great Food and Service
While I'm not usually a fan of thicker crust pizza, my experience at this restaurant was surprisingly positive. The place was super clean, and the staff was friendly. The pizza dough was quite good – super soft and airy – and the pizza itself was great. I also tried a breakfast burrito, which was filled pretty well. Overall, the food was good, exceeding my expectations with its great taste.

Catalano's Pizzeria: Consistently Excellent Pizza!
My experience at Catalano's Pizzeria was outstanding! Johnnie and his team are the best. Every time we're in the area, we make sure to grab pizza for the whole company. The quality is always spot on! The pizza is served hot, fresh, and is absolutely delicious. You can tell they take pride in what they do. I can't recommend them enough!

Delicious Pizza and Friendly Service!
My experience at Catalano's was wonderful. The people who work there are always so friendly and welcoming. The pizza is one of the most delicious I've had, with super fresh ingredients, a great crust, and toppings that always taste top quality. It's definitely one of my go-to spots.

Catalano's: My Go-To for Crowd-Pleasing Pizza!
I've ordered from Catalano's many times and can confidently say their pizza is my top recommendation for a crowd-pleaser. It's been the greatest choice for playdates, parties, surprise relatives, and family pizza nights. WOW. The pizza is always super delicious and fresh tasting. A fantastic bonus is that our delivery has always been SO FAST, even faster than estimated every time. I order through the Slice app.
