avelluto's italian delight

good italian. it's been a while since i've been here and not sure why! ilovethe pizza here. the medium size pizza is about 8 slices but the slices themselves are good size, depending on how it's cut. i also had the prosciutto balls and those were great as well. everything was fresh and tasty. clean restaurant too.

great food, horrible customer service. i have always and will continue to go here because ilovethe food. but they need some lessons in not being rude to customers. especially when they have made a calzone the same way since i was a kid (i'm now in my 30's), then all of a sudden change it suddenly and the way you are suppose to order it. they were soooooo rude to my husband, it was ridiculous but we didn't want to cause a huge scene.

man do ilovethis place best ny style pizza in town, the stromboli is to die for as is the eggplant parmesan, and don't leave without trying the sausage and peppers

i can't begin to tell you how much ilovethis place. i've been a loyal customer for 15 years. it's where i took my first date for crying out loud! but i have two complaints as of late. portion control is inconsistent at best. bottom line, i need more food for the price. and second, the restaurant would be a lot better if the girl behind the register in the evenings wasn't such a disaster. you call in an order and you wait 20 minutes before your presence is even acknowledged. ilovethis place, always have and always will, but the need someone to bring order and consistency.

always good food. best bowl of minestrone soup in town!!!

great food & family atmosphere. last friday i had a fantastic salmon plate. the salmon was perfect and topped with crust, with potato's and peas, carrots on the side. a very fantastic meal (once again), and very beautifully presented. i have eaten here for years, and had no problems. john, james, mikey, and bill (and melissa) are great people. nice quiet atmosphere, where one can actually hear each other, and the best pasta/brocc casserole in town. 10 stars from me!!!

delish!!! and prompt!. i've been a customer here forever it seems. and of all of those times i had one disappointing experience. i ordered a calzone, not realizing they had changed the recipe. so i did what i thought was the reasonable thing, i called them. it was explained to me that i could now customized my calzone, and since then i have been even happier than ever. iloveadding proscuitto, mushrooms, and sometimes onion. sometimes, i even get really wild and go with lasagna. i don't care much for pizza, but everyone else i know tends tolovetheirs. no one is ever rude to me here, but they are sometimes busy and not chatty. which is great, i'm usually in a hurry to pick up my call in and get back to the office. i pay for food, not friends. i'd rather have my order on time and i appreciate the fact that they have never made me late getting back to work. the prices are reasonable, smiles abundant and i'm a very happy camper. i highly recommend this place!

just perfect!. first off, i've been a customer about as long as i've been old enough to be a consumer. i stillloveme some avelluto's. i usually get the calzone. and yes, the first time i didn't know that they weren't doing the standard cheeses/ham, i was a bit disappointed. so i gave them a call, they explained that you now could add any ingrediants to them that you wanted, and i've loved them even more ever since. i like the change. still, for the most part the food is pretty darned consistant, and that would be consistantly awesome. i go here often during the week, i call in orders when i know that they are busy and only have 15mins to get my food & be back at work. well, they haven't let me down yet. this is not because i am some special customer, or family member, i am not. they have always seemed to value all of their customers. if the avelluto family has ever let a rude employee work there, it's news to me. i know it can get a little hectic, but i just have to say that in many decades of happy patronage, not one soul has ever treated me rudely. have they been a bit hurried before? heavens yes, but speaking for me at least, they are always hurrying so that their customers walk out with hot deliscious food, just the way they ordered it.

welovethis place. this is our favorite family place to eat out, which is probably why we're there almost every week. the pizza is fantastic. it was recommended to us by a new york friend several years ago. john and james, the owners, are great guys and are always ready with a suggestion if you want to try something different. welovethe cheeze pizza, and the stromboli's are excellent. the eggplant parm is amazing as are the grilled chicken salad, the health salad, and the meatballs. the meatball sub is also wonderful. the best italian food value in the city, in our opinion.

iloveit.. i eat at avelluto's almost daily. iloveall their food, but recently i've been ordering their large house salad. it has crisp lettuce, red onions, tomatoes,oil and vinegar dressing, and wonderful seasonings. i alsolovetheir rollatini, which is only served on wednesdays, as well as their eggplant pizza, which is also only available on wednesdays.

yummy and good prices. the pizza, the stromboli, the spag, and the salads are all wonderful! good food, quick, hot, and value for your dollar.
it's not really about service at this place,
we often call in large to go orders if we are having get-togethers at home and need to feed a crowd. avelluto's always pleases the group.
i've been eating avelluto's since i was a child (at the indian springs location) and now iloveto drop in at the mission location.

great food, great people, great service. after 15 years of working across the street (and still do) from avelluto's italian delight, i finally decided to look them up on the internet for the reviews and/or their website. all the reviews were great except from a few (joco snobs??). the food, atmosphere, employees and the owners have all been great. if you talk to the owners, they will talk/chat back as any owner/restaurateur would to make sure you are satisfied with their product and service.
my experience with avelluto's italian delight has been over the top in customer service and the one of the best for their pizza's. i've also had their calzone, strombli, sausage roll, combo hero, health salad, olive salad, and my wife the pasta salad and ultimate chocolate cake to boot, and she and my kidslovethe food.
avelluto's italian delight has the quality food anyone is looking for and the personal service from the owners.
and it took me 15 years to finally try this delicatessen, and now i go almost weekly (budget).

i havelovethe calzone for years. john and patty are good people & have know them since high school. my kids have grown up eatting at italian delight now i am taking my grandchildren.

have enjoyed for years, customer service sometimes an issue. the good: i highly recommend their veal parm sandwich. i think it is pretty much the best veal parm i've had. i also suggest you try their prosciutto balls, calzones, or the cold ham sandwich. i also really like their pizza, which is a new york/new jersey style. they offer a neapolitan crust option, which is nice for people who don't like a big doughy pizza.

the so-so: my husband and i have loved coming to avelluto's for years, but we do go less than we used to, because service tends to deteriorate on busy days, and can be spotty other times. part of it is their fault, part not. the physical layout of the restaurant makes it tough and stressful for the staff to accommodate heavy customer volume on friday and saturday nights. and i think part of it is due to lack of organization or clear workflow for tasks like order taking and communicating where to stand. i haven't ever had a problem with staff members being unpleasant to me. they're just rushed the way that restaurant employees get rushed sometimes when everything piles up.

but this is an example of what i mean: a few weeks ago i called twice on a weeknight to place a carryout order and was asked to hold on, did so for 3-5 minutes while listening to the register employee taking counter orders (must have set the handset down on the counter), and then was hung up on for my trouble...both times. i was disappointed, but wasn't willing to try again at that point.

so in that respect, i think there is room for improvement in the area of customer service. however, they make good food that is reasonably priced, and this place is owner-operated and theirlovefor this business is obvious. i really like this place and i'm willing to forgive a lot even when the service bums me out occasionally.

amazing!. my family and i have been going here since i was a little kid, and weloveit! it's cheap (under $10 for nearly everything) and the pizza is great! though i prefer the calzones.
if you're in mission, ks, i definantly suggest going!

i have been comint to this restaurant since it first opened when i was in junior high. ilovethe pizza, mestball sandwich, mostaciolli, and the daily specials. if u r ever lucky enough to be there when they have wedding soup order it and take some home for later.
