Pizza is bomb!
Steve-O 7/26/2011
The lunch specials are terrific and the prices ridiculously low. You can get bread, a great Italian meal, salad for under $5!! It’s cheaper than McDonalds! The family that runs it are terrific. You become family there.

The food is authentic and delicious. The prices reasonable. It is worth every penny.

The pizza is so delicious! We will never order from a chain again. I just wish they were open every day!

Shared a supreme pizza with my friends, was really good pizza in the Euless area.

My wife and I love this place! The food was excellent, price for lunch was unbeatable, and staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. I just wish they had a bigger facility but that is not enough to keep me away. Oh, and this is definitely one of the best pizza places around by far.
MissusNick 5/31/2011
This is the BEST pizza! Nothing like ordering from a chain restaurant. SO DELICIOUS!
Fat Angelo 9/11/2009
Wonderful neighborhood pizza joint. Yeah, it’s kind of a joint,but frankly, I’ll take a joint any day over a national chain. Very competitive prices (lunch salad, hot bread and a filling pasta dish).
Paulie 5/5/2009
We have been going to the restaurants owned by Amza and Shanka Rika for over 17 years and now with the opening of Lizzano’s the same great food they have always prepared is just as good as ever. This is a great friendly place to dine and a great bargain for the price. It’s very casual and BYOB.
Dan D. 4/2/2009
A quintessential small, family-operated, neighborhood Italian restaurant. The kind you would find in many neighborhoods in New York City. Their thin-crust New York style pizza is incredible. Their pizza chef won the People’s Choice Best Pizza Award in Tarrant County in 1996. Their entrée and pasta dishes are delicious and a great value. Highly recommended.

My husband and I get pizza from here almost every week. Our favorite is a cheese pizza with basil. The greek salad is also very good. We’ve had the spaghetti and meatballs a few times and love it! Lizzano’s is a family owned and operated business. They are always happy to see you. Recently, they started accepting cash only so keep that in mind before going. Luckily, there is a 7 Eleven right next door so it’s not too much of a hassle if you forget. They deliver too.
Anita D. 11/4/2011
This mom and pop restaurant is so freaking good, I’ve eaten there multiple times after I discovered it. Even though it’s in a random strip center it is just awesome. I always get the Chicken Parmigiana and a Greek Salad and every time it has come out fantastic. I love the sauce. They are a BYOB restaurant, so don’t forget to bring your wine! (Forewarning: They became a CASH ONLY restaurant on Nov 1st because of the high fees of credit cards.)
ashley d. 10/20/2011
Went to Lizzano’s for the first time today looking for some authentic Margherita pizza and I found it. I got a 12″ pie and even though its just me eating it, I want to eat the whole thing. I will definitely go back, and recommend this place to others. The owners were very nice and were asking about my day. The only downside was that the price of the pizza was $12.95 but its worth it.
Nicole G. 8/23/2011
Best pizza around, try the margarita pizza. They have an excellent alfredo sauce as well. Very friendly service.
Mary L. 7/13/2011
This place has the best Italian food I’ve eaten in Dallas/Ft. Worth. I am Italian and cook a lot of it, and this would be the only other place I would eat it besides my kitchen in this area!
3 of us ate. We had the lg. greek salad ($5.25): generous portion, beautiful onions, tomatoes, olives and tons of feta cheese, and they make homemade dressing – the greek dressing was phenomenal! Had a pesto essence to it, very good! Then we had a pizza and a pasta dish. Simple pizza, pepperoni (med. around $12): good crust, nice cheese, pepperoni was just ok, I would definitely go with one of their speciality pizzas next time, they said the margarita pizza is delicious and I’m sure that it is! Pasta dish was the special for the night, Spinach Ravioli with Portobello Mushroom and Alfredo sauce ($8.95): WOW!!! Absolutely delicious!! The ravolis are made fresh, spinach pasta, filled with ricotta and spinach, beautiful alfredo sauce with perfectly cooked Portobello slices. Definitely my favorite thing! We spooned some of the alfredo onto our pizza slices and took them to the next level!
Our bill was $26 dollars. 3 of us ate and were stuffed! Had a couple slices to take home, and its BYOB, which I love! Very nice staff, clean and fresh dining area, small fresh flowers on the table… very nice experience! Plan on visiting often.
Aurora B. 7/12/2011
Great food. Great staff! First time and we loved it. Found it on Groupon. Had they not had that Groupon deal, we never would have heard of it! Will come back!
Steve A. 3/30/2011
We eat here all the time and we love it.
I’m a creature of habit and generally get the beef lasagna, which is really a nice generous portion and … I wouldn’t say … your typical lasagna. It’s a little lower to the ground, but hey, different is good, to me at least. Oh also, it’s yummy.
The Greek Salad is a nice complement to the pasta and man, they don’t skimp on the feta.
I feel pretty safe in recommending that you take half of your generous lasagna portion home so that you’ll have room for the chocolate bread pudding. If you’re sharing it, hold your spoon firmly and lean forward so you can actually get a bite before your dining companion wolfs the dang thing down. Yeah. It’s that friggin good.
This is an authentic family Italian place … and they treat you like family. If they don’t, you’re probably creepy or mean or something. Come back more than once and they’ll remember where you sat and probably what you liked most. Real nice people. Don’t let them down by not trying this place at least once.
Shannon P. 3/25/2011
I’m so glad I found this little place!! The food is delicious, delivery is among the quickest in town and there’s no way any place around can beat the prices. I’m sorry I didn’t discover this place sooner.
Our recurring favorites: garlic bread with cheese and tomato, greek salad, chicken cacciatore and last but not least… some of the BEST cannolis I’ve ever had.
I hope you have the pleasure of eating here one day. It’s definitely an undiscovered treasure.
Stephanie l. 2/4/2011
Night before Thanksgiving, just arrived the parents house and no one wanted to cook. Mom was telling me about the great pizza she had from Domino’s last week, but I would have none of that crazy nonsense. Lizzano’s was new and is not Domino’s,I wanted to try it. We ordered a large with mushrooms, onion and green pepper.. Delicious! Great crust, and toppings were all fresh and cooked perfectly. Very much reminds me of the pizza I ate growing up in Buffalo. I will be back!
Matt F. 6/24/2010
Just moved into a new apartment very close to this place. Since moving, I’ve already been here twice. On the first occasion I had their Supreme pizza. It was a thin crust pizza with all the usual suspects that come on a Supreme pizza. Overall, the pizza was good and I would like to try some of their others, including the Alfredo pizza, Chef’s pizza (grilled chicken, artichokes and tomatoes) and the Ranch pizza (grilled chicken, basil and mozzarella). On my second trip I had the beef tortellini in alfredo sauce. I’ll admit I wasn’t sure what tortellini was and went out on a limb. It ended up being very good and the alfredo sauce is definitely worth trying on any of their pastas. They also had some great specials. Prices are very reasonable. My tortellini meal was 8.61 after taxes (no drink) and an extra large supreme pizza was around 16 dollars.
All in all this is a great place where the people remember who you are and genuinely love owning a restaurant. I will definitely be back. Also….it’s BYOB.
Jamie P. 10/31/2010
Went here to get take out for lunch. I NEVER would have entered this place if it weren’t for the reviews. Something about strip mall restaurants that make me skeptical. I got the $4.95 lunch special combo pasta deal with salad and bread. Wow! Lots of food for under $5! It was excellent. I shared it with my daughter and she devoured it! I look forward to trying the Alfredo sauce everyone raves about. We will definitely be back. Can’t believe it’s been here this whole time and I was being a strip mall snob! Great value!
Eric L. 8/31/2009
I’ve been eating from Tony and Shenka, the owners and operators, for over 15 years. They’ve had this restaurant for just a short while, but previously operated Amore restaurant in Colleyville, which they sold in the late 1990′s before temporarily returning to Europe. (Amore has continuously operated under different ownership since that time.) Back in the mid-to-late 1990′s, when Tony and Shenka were in charge, it was ranked as the best pizza in the area by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
In my opinion, the food at their restaurants has always been superior to similar pizza joints in the metroplex, and there are quite a few good, independently-owned pizzerias in the area. My favorite item is the stromboli which is made fresh daily with loads of mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, and fresh mushrooms. (You can special order them with other ingredients if you prefer.) I get one every time I come back to town. The pizza is also incredible; simple NY-style crust with a variety of fresh toppings and a very flavorful sauce. The sauce has been adjusted slightly for regional preferences, but if you ask, they will make the flavor more intense with additional garlic, oregano, and other herbs/spices added. I prefer it this way, but most in the area don’t. Whatever your preference, though, it’s going to be good.
A great deal are the lunch specials offered from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM daily. For $4.95, not a typo, you can get a decent-sized portion of lasagna, manicotti, cannelloni, spaghetti, or a combination pasta plate, each of which come with salad and homemade bread that is served with a homemade dipping sauce of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs from their personal garden. It’s an incredible deal that, at roughly the same price as fast-food, is a far-superior meal.
Their prices are more-than reasonable with an 18-inch cheese-only pie currently $10.95 and most additional toppings $1.25 each. There are also many specialty pizzas, most of which I have never tried. I stick mostly to the tried-and-true combinations; bell peppers and mushrooms, pepperoni and mushrooms, etc…and have never been disappointed. I have, though, tried the White Pizza, which is the regular crust topped with ricotta and mozzarella cheeses with garlic and tomatoes -without- any kind of sauce, and it is one of my favorites as well.
It’s a small restaurant with limited space for dining in, but takeout is available, as well as delivery in the evenings. The food is great, the staff is friendly, the owners take pride in what they are serving, and the prices are affordable. There’s really no reason for you not to try it!

I went to this restaurant for the first time yesterday for lunch. It’s a small restaurant located in a tiny off the beaten path strip center. I went with two other people and we all had the $4.95 lunch special. The meal came with freshly made bread and a generous portion salad. There are a few different entrée choices but we all had spaghetti. It was delicious with perfectly seasoned sauce and meatballs. The portions were huge and only one of us (me) was able to finish the entire meal. The $4.95 price is pretty amazing. The service was friendly and very attentive. I work nearby and have eaten at most of the other Italian restaurants in the area. I would not put any of them in the same category as this place. Lizzano’s has a great casual atmosphere and I plan to make the drive from Denton to come back for dinner. It’s BYOB so you can bring your own bottle of wine.
Steve N. 10/22/2009
Great NY style pizza served in a very modest and casual Italian restaurant setting. Not a typical pizzeria where you can see the guy making the pizza and the ovens. It has a small dining room with waiter service. Wonderful fresh baked bread with dipping oil mixed with fresh herbs served with meals. Great prices. Diverse menu and specials. The owner started cooking in Italian neighborhood restaurants at age 16 in Rome, Italy. Later in New York, he cooked at a number of neighborhood institutions like Seven Brothers at the corner of Church and Flatbush in Brooklyn, Angelo’s in Little Italy, and Ray’s in Manhattan. This place is the real deal.

“Amazing Italian cuisine at even more amazing prices with great service”
This restaurant is becoming less and less of a well-kept local secret. The Italian dishes are really delicious, but the prices are astoundingly low and you’re not going to find more friendly service anywhere else.
This joint is a little hole in the wall and when it’s busy, it hums.
Definitely check out the Pasta Trio. It’s like $5 and more than enough to satisfy your appetite. Finish off your meal with my favorite: Chocolate Bread Pudding.
Youll love this little family-operated, family-friendly joint.

“The best Italian Cusine restaurant in Mid-Cities!!!”
Great affordable Italian food. BYOB!!! Nice family atmosphere as is family operated.

“Very good food at reasonable prices”
So far we’ve only dined in twice; each visit has been a most pleasant experience. It is located in a strip shopping center, easy to find and park. Their lunches are $4.95 and includes quite a bit of food. A special menu board of different specials is also offered in addition to regular choices on the menu. It is a BYOB restaurant. The folks are friendly and eager to please. The entrees are served with tasty bread and a salad I can do without, mainly because it is just tasteless iceberg lettuce with one little slice of tomato. Otherwise, everything we’ve tried on two visits is really good. We leave very satisfied with full tummies and have not spent a fortune for good food. We will definitely return again and again when we need an Italian fix. Check out their website at: www.lizzanos.com. Enjoy!

Best Italian Restaurant
Fred and I were first introduced to Lizzano’s by an AA flt attendant. We absolutely loved the food, the service and the atmosphere but most of all the family that runs it. We have since brought many others in to eat and now it has become “our ” favorite restaurant. They make everything themselves and when I think of their pizza’s……my mouth starts to water. They are the best ever. You need to give them a try. You won’t regret it. We have tried almost everything on the menu and love it all. The prices are very reasonable too. So do yourself a favor and come on in. Maybe we’ll see you there.

Having tried all of the NY style pizza that I can find from west Ft. Worth to east Dallas, I stand firmly on my claim that Lizzano’s is absolutely the best in this city!! I am Italian, and have spent a lot of time in NY and New Jersey and one of the things I consistently miss the most is the pizza. Almost a decade ago when my husband and I were dating, we found a wonderful pizzaria with the BEST GREEN PIZZA I’ve ever had, but sadly they closed. It sounds silly to say, but we grieved the loss of our pizza joint. When we stumbled into Lizzano’s a few months ago and saw the art on the walls we realized this was the same joint under a new name… and yes, they had our green pizza!! Ordering a green pizza on a Saturday night makes us feel like we’re dating again. Thanks Lizzano’s!!

Good quiet Italian spot
Portions are ample, good value, everything was very fresh and tasty. The sausage calzone is enormous, and the lunch specials are probably one of the best values anywhere. Simple but clean dining room. Definitely family run, but not by Italians, which is kind of funny – you’d never know by the food though. Will look for a chance to come back soon.
Jaida 08/19/2011
Love the pizza!
I was trying to order pizza from somewhere besides the local chain because my fiance and i don’t like the same pizza. Well we ordered Lizzano’s to be delivered to our home and the pizza was awesome. We will be ordering from them again, sooner rather than later. Haven’t had pizza like that in a very long time and I finally found a new place, since one place I previously loved shut down.
AlexG817 9/12/2010
Finally … someone who can make a truly excellent “white pizza”.
Wife & I recently moved back to the area and absolutely love Lizzano’s. If I had one complaint/suggestion, it would be to order your food to go. The restaurant can become extremely hot late in the day, and no one wants to sweat into their Calamari. The staff is very courteous and again, the food is excellent!
Lizzano’s humble reply: We recently installed a very cool, high-tech twin turbo fan in our dining room to augment the air conditioning system (learn about it here). Since then, we’ve received nothing but delighted comments about the level of comfort in the dining, even at the hottest time of the day. Please give us another chance. Come experience it yourself!

A Euless Highlight
I visited a small strip mall joint, called Lizzano’s Pizza, for dinner. I must say, there’s something to be said about really cheap Italian places. And that something is in the tune of “this is so flippin’ good!”
I ordered the Tortellini Alfredo (available with beef or cheese). I couldn’t fully taste the beef within, but the sauce made it so rich and creamy that it still managed to suit me just fine. One of the specials was Shrimp Alfredo. That too was great -especially if you like seafood. The bread served prior to the meal was satisfactory by itself, but the oil concoction that you dip it in was far different that what I’ve had before. I could taste more of the seasons/herbs than oil. Therefore it was vastly and rapidly consumed.
The menu is simple and abundant. Prices are below average. If you’re lucky enough to live near this place, become a regular. I’ll see you there.
