Alessios Restaurant & Pizzeria in other cities:
My family has ordered here from many times- its one of our go-to places! Unfortunately, we had a bad experience a couple of days ago. We ordered take out for my moms birthday and were told it would take 30 minutes. We got to the restaurant at the right pickup time, but ended up having to wait over an hour. We understand that it was busy, but were frustrated with the miscommunication, as we should have been told the correct pick up time. Unfortunately, no deals or compensation were offered for the inconvenience. Really disappointing, as it sort of ruined our evening and celebration of my moms birthday.
On my days with my 11yr old daughter (which usually includes her friends) Lunch is priority #1..This is our go to place, in our opinion, best slice of pie in town... coupled with great wings, friendly staff & affordable prices we always enjoy our outings at Alessios!!
We really WANT to love this local restaurant, but we’ve consistently had poor service and will instead be eating with other local pizza spots in the future.The good: Great lunch specials and food is usually delicious! Partners with our community and neighborhood.The bad: We’ve never had great service inside the restaurant in the two years + we’ve lived here. Tonight we waited about 10 minutes at our table for service before our server greeted us. The hostess didn’t give us a menu, and we had to ask for one. I ordered a drink special that was on the board, a popular beverage, and the server had no idea what it was, coming back to ask me several times what it was. We ordered the meats pizza, she confirmed we wanted the Manhattan, and we asked for extra ingredients To be added (half jalapeño and half pineapple at a cost of like 3.99 each, I think). When the pizza finally came out an hour later, it had no meat on it at all. We had to ask for plates and silverware and napkins when the appetizers came out, too. The server attempted to correct the poor service by comping the drinks (which we had to order because the water tasted horrible, though that may not have been their fault). No manager visited our table.
My whole order was messed up . I asked for a chicken philly and received steak I also ordered the chicken bites and got the chicken tenders. And the fried pickles were really just batter . I also noticed the cooks weren’t wearing gloves , really sad about the experience here today .
Good food, good service, reasonable prices. Had the Alessios Ale draft which was excellent. She had the house Chardonnay which she loved.She had the lasagna. Large portion, lots of cheese. I had zuppa di pesche. Lots of mussels, calamari, and gulf shrimp in a spicy marinara sauce. Not too spicy, just right. Both portions were large & had a lot to take home.Going back again in a few weeks.
Food was good and came in a timely fashion. I ordered via door dash and they forgot a component of my order, so one of the workers, Hunter, personally drove over the last part of the order. It was all very tasty. Only thing I would change is that it was a little cold when it came but we popped it in the oven and it was great.
This place has gone down in a bad way!The flavor is gone and now they dont cook the pizza so you have to bring it home and finish the job. There is no quality control and shows! I used to see this place as good as Mangia but not anymore!New York pizza should be thin in the middle and this is like a Chicago pizza center. I will never go back!
OMG decided to get take-out & had their pizza and manicotti for the 1st time last night. I have been wanting to try this place since moving here from Pittsburgh. No complaints from kid or husband on pizza as they devoured it. The manicotti was good but the extra sauce was a bit too chunky for me. I prefer regular tomato sauce without the chunks of onion etc. No salad came with the dinner which was different and I didnt think to have husband orderone separately for me. It did comewith 2 garlic knots. The garlic knots were good but one was swimming in butter/garlic where a bite was taken out and huge glob flew out. Thankfully my son got to it before our dogs did. Overall, good food and we will be back again.#LetsGuide #pizza #pasta #Italian
We have ordered twice from here through DoorDash. The first time I ordered through DoorDash (doesn’t let me specify half and half toppings on their) I called literally a minute after placing the order to tell them I wanted the toppings half and half but they somehow had already made the pizza. I mean WOW that fast huh lol. That was annoying but we gave it another chance except this time I called BEFORE I even ordered it to make sure. They sent it correctly and the pizza was good but overall I think they need to work on their online orders a little more.
Every time I watch the Ninja Turtles I want the giant stringy, cheesy, NY style pizza that theyre eating, and Alessios definitely fulfills that desire. Their pizza has a great mouth-feel! The sauce however, is more of the lighter-reddish shade than the deep red color of marinara sauce, I dont know how else to describe it but to me it seems like a lower quality sauce. Also, the crust is good, but also kind of par. The service was great, but the prices were very hit-or-miss. Example: $27 for pizza is reasonable, $8 for small handful of fries with truffle sauce is Ludicrous!That being said, it was very delicious and they have nice indoor and outdoor seating, and a decent overall atmosphere. You wont be disappointed with the experience, but I also wouldnt say its anywhere near the best in the area. Maybe top ten in Forsyth county. Maybe. If I could, Id give it 3.7 stars, but apparently you cant divide stars by ten.Grade: 74/100
Ive gone several times, on average Id rate it a 4. Normally things are great and pizza is good. The last time was a bit icky, my water had food in it, i asked for another and got it. Got stale beer (aka not really carbonated), and when it was delivered some of it spilled on my feet and the table. Enough for like 7 napkins to clean up myself. Eitherway i tipped 15 percent and just figured it was a series of unfortunate events.UPDATED: I appreciate the response from the owner, Ill knock it up to 4 stars. I normally dont do reviews on here, Google magically asked me what I thought of it that day; hence the review.Regarding the drink, it may seem like the waiter just didnt notice. He was carrying 4 drinks and struggling to make it to the table before it slipped out.Regarding the food in the drink, it seemed fresh. Like it accidentally fell into it when it was getting made. It was literally a piece of lettuce. It wasnt a dirty cup.The place is really good.
Went on a Saturday night. Super busy. Order pizza. Told an hour wait to to large volume of take out orders. Atleast the Server was honest. So order a slice. It was fair. After 45 minutes waiting it came out super crispy burn bottom which indicates it was forgotten in the oven. May be having bad day which happens. For me, I would not go back.
Weve been getting takeout for a while now, but recently have been dining in. Staff is very good (most recently waited on by Taylor) and attentive. Food is also amazing. Just tried the bbq chicken pizza: swore I would never ever have pizza in my life with chicken on it, but glad I did. Next time it will be the buffalo chicken pizza!
The seafood made me sick.Don’t eat sea food from here unless you want to see it later....Also manager avoids customer complaints with I’m going to the bank excuse.First time customer . Not impressed won’t be back .Update .Thank you for responding.I’m the only person who ate the seafood and I’m the only person who got sick.It can be scary eating out because you never know if people are taking the proper care with food.Seafood is expensive and definitely not something you want to throw away. But must do so.I’ll take your word that you look into the issue.Not a lot of places offer these pasta dishes.That was one reason we decided to try you.Again thanks for looking into the issue and addressing it.
We like Alessios, but this wasnt the best visit. We were seated quickly, but didnt see a waiter for about 10 minutes after we were seated. Our waiter was nice. We ordered and our food came out in three shifts. (We had a party of 6) My sons kid mac n cheese was cold. I think its the first time in his cheese loving life he didnt eat his whole meal. His noodles were sort of one large lump stuck together with the cool cheese. I ordered fettuccine alfredo with blackened chicken. I wouldnt have minded the over $4 upcharge if the chicken had actually been blackened or if it had been more than 5 tiny slices. It didnt look like even half a chicken breast. It was also really dry. All of the other meals were good. My husband really enjoyed the lasagna. Over all, it wasnt bad, but Im not sure it will stay on our frequent visit list. The ambiance is nice, the wait staff is friendly but not overly efficient, the quality of the food isnt matching up to the pricing.
Ordered delivery. Was disappointed because of all the great reviews I read online. We requested only 1/2 green pepper pizza and it was on the whole pie, which I could live with. But it literally looked like someone plopped a handful of peppers on it, making some slices almost just green pepper. Also didnt receive the blue cheese we ordered with wings. The taste was ok, sauce was bland. Wings were tasty.
Food is ok, but the staff is not friendly, snarky, snobby. Please fix this. Basically the only friendly guy is Will. Hes a great manager and always smiling and joking making everybody feel welcome and at home. Unfortunately, the rest of the staff including the girl at the bar is withdrawn and not friendly in any way.
Its getting 1 star so I can rate it, but really does not deserve any stars. I love Alessios and come here all the time with family and friends, but this was a terrible experience. I ordered delivery online and waited almost 2 hours until calling and told the food was still there. While on the phone, I was told the delivery person was walking in and the food would be here shortly. I waited about 15 more minutes before going to Alessios myself. The food was still there and I asked for it to be remade as it was now old, because it had been sitting there for over an hour waiting for the delivery person. I was told no and it was on top of the oven so it was still warm. I explained it was not the temperature that concerned me, but it was old. I was still told no they would not remake it. I asked for a refund of the delivery fees and tip that I paid online and was also told no to that because it was a separate company that does the delivery and I could look up their number to contact them and ask for a refund. I was still asking about the food and was then ignored and the server went on to help the next person. Very poor service tonight and the food was hard and not fresh.
This pertains to UberEats delivery. We ordered over $100 of food to be delivered by UberEats on Friday 4/17. Everything was cold. I mean everything. This is not about Alessios food which is always delicious and we have had it delivered before but not with a food delivery service like UberEats. This was unfortunate for us but wanted to let Alessios know UberEats must not use any insulated carriers to keep your food warm. Not sure if we will try DoorDash or not. But anyway. No more UberEats for us.
We have eaten food, usually as takeout, from this location for years. Unfortunately, someone in the kitchen has developed an extraordinarily heavy hand with salt. We could not eat the food and our veal and chicken parmigiana went into the garbage. We are so disappointed.
A neat little family pizza place - open, airy and especially goood if you are a sports guy - multiple big screens.Must try - the White cheese pizza. Its ricotta cheese, mozzarella, and freshgarlic and oil : Thats it. I was genuinely surprised how good that tasted. The guys are fun - a generally informal setting. A bit loud sometimes.
Pizza is great and is a good price. Everything else is much more expensive than it should be. For example, the Italian staple Chicken Parm is $13, but doesnt include a salad. You want one? Add another $4.50. Pretty much any other Italian restaurant has this meal with a salad for $15 or less. If you want pizza - go here. If you want an Italian meal, Ippolitos or Georgios are in the area - go there and save some money.
We were excited to order to support our local restaurant.we ordered as a treat for our guests.Really really disappointed with the order.we ordered a buffalo sauce pizza and chicken wings and veggie pizza.ordered around 65 dollars.total waste of money.chicken wings are soaked in oil..simply dripping around our fingers.buffalo sauce pizza is full of salt.no body hadnt finished.the only thing that is okay is the veggie style.we regret choosing this for our guests.total disappointment.
So my girlfriend orders from this place when Im otw home from work. Hungry AF lol. When the food arrives I jump in the bag and theres nothing to feast with ! How can we spend alost 40 dollars and not get some forks and napkins fam? Im so confused. 2 stars cuz my girl likes her food.

2021-07-12Life is too short for mediocre pizza, Alessio’s is serving the best pizza in the North Atlanta area! But that’s not all… they have awesome salads, an amazing variety of pastas and a whole more available in their menu. If you are craving something sweet, I recommend their legendary PIZZOOKIE… if you dare!

2021-03-08Great food at a great price. My girlfriend and I had the hot artichoke and spinach dip as an appetizer. For our entrées she had the spaghetti San Pietro and I had the pasta alla linda. All of it was delicious. Unfortunately, we had no room to try any desserts, especially their Pizookie, which I really wanted to try. But will definitely go again and I highly recommend checking it out.

2022-04-02Our waitress was either new or very inexperienced. We ordered our appetizers and then our pizzas. Appetizers came out, sauce for garlic knots was cold....son in laws salad, which was his main meal followed a bit later But tge rest of our pizzas never came out for over 25 30 minutes. People were seated ordered appetizers and pizza and left before ours came out. Pizza was not crisp and mediocre.Sorry, but being from tge north east pizza is king.

2020-02-27We’ve been wanting to try this place for a while.. we FINALLY remembered it nestled back into this strip mall. Staff very friendly, clean and nice atmosphere. Food was fresh, hot and great!! Definitely goes on our short list for ‘go to’ restaurants! I had the chicken Marsala while my wife had the eggplant parmigiana sandwich without bread but got a side of zucchini fries! We thoroughly enjoyed it all!!

2022-03-05Had an Uber Eats delivery. The kitchen will send out stale cold pizza pies and sent garlic knots minus the garlic. Overly salted pizza! Ordered cinnamon knots and barely any chocolate sauce on them either. They were hard and cold. This food was left out so long and it’s pitiful employees deliver this to people!! Scary!! Never again! Beware!!
