Scalinis Reviews

I love their salad and rolls soooo good! This is by far my favorite Italian restaurant. It is a must if you are in the area.

1st experience. Very slow and poor service. Went for dinner on a slow night and waited 2 1/2 hours to get spaghetti and meatballs.
2nd experience. Tried to order a delivery pizza and was told it would take again 1:45.
3rd experience. Again tried to order a pizza and although I live 2.7 miles from location I was told they would not deliver because I was not in 3 mile delivery radius and hung up on.
Do not do business with this joke of restaurant.

vibes are excellent, ngl food is good not great but pricing is excellent, love this place forever

Fantastic place to eat some food when in a hurry. The service is prompt, rates are affordable, great atmosphere. Would recommend to others

Excellent Italian restaurant, with good and fast attention and office, elegant ... I recommend it ..!

Saturday night to remember! The scampied artichoke hearts with shrimp appetizer was amazing!! The Scalini combo plate was delicious and the limoncello cake was to die for! Trying the pizza next go round!

If I could give a zero, I would. Ordered lasagna and chicken alfredo for take out. Lasagna tasted like it had been sitting around since yesterday then reheated to the point the pasta was hard. The same thing with the chicken alfredo. The entire experience was horrible. I would not recommend to anyone! You're better off going to pizza hut and have their pasta.

The guy on the phone is super chill, and i love him.

I regularly stop by purchasing some food in here. I enjoy the fast customer service and well cooked food. Fantastic work.

A great place to visit with family. Not only is the staff extremely friendly but the food is excellent. Warning, Saturday nights are extremely busy.

Old school fare. If you're nearby I'd recommend it.

My fav location for quality pizza. definitely one of the best places in the area. the service here is outstanding. feels similar to a cafe in chicago i loved.

We were in the area and needed food but we had no clue what we wanted. We saw this place and walked in to check out the menu. The place felt cozy and comfortable, and brought to mind the feeling of the Italian family dinners I was fortunate enough to be a part of (with my then boyfriend) in the 90s in Georgia.
The guy who greeted us was very charismatic and welcoming; he gave us a menu and told us we would absolutely find something on it that we wanted to eat. He was right--a quick glance at the menu revealed 3 things that sounded amazing so we stayed for dinner.

The charismatic guy who greeted us was our server, and he was wonderful. Unfortunately, I truly suck at remembering names, so I can't give him a shout-out and thank him for solving that age old dilemma that happens whenever a girl and a guy are trying to decide where to go eat LOL A closer inspection of the menu left me with so many options to choose from that I couldn't decide what to order, so I went with the first thing that had caught my attention in that first quick glance: spinach ravioli in a pesto sauce. There was bread and salad while we waited on our meal. The spinach ravioli was really good, but it was more than I could eat in one sitting (especially after salad and a slice of toasted bread), but I did get a go-box and had a delicious lunch the next day.
Overall, highly recommend Scalini's for great food in a wonderful atmosphere.

One of the best pizzas in Dallas. They also have some nice non-American wines. The staff is usually very friendly and they have nice lighting.

Great lunch specials. Personal pizza has thin crust and is very tasty. This place is great with multiple guests groups.

First time here. Sat at the bar. Had wonderful service. Food was fantastic and restaurant was clean and efficient. Staff was friendly and courteous! Great experience can't wait to come back with the family!

The spaghetti and pizza are good. But the rest of the menu needs more flavor. Too bland.

Best pizza in Dallas (IMHO). Small (all the way) pizza, 2 salads and a bottle of decent wine is our (almost) biweekly habit. Total bill under $50 too.

I love Scalinis pizza and cold mugs. The price is right. Wait staff is attentive and amenable. Everyone I've brought here enjoys it.

I love this place! My cousin Rodolfo used to work here! Also, vote for Gabe Whitaker!

Always a fantastic experience. The only Italian place in Lakewood, in my opinion.

Chicken parm is life.

Came here for the first time today, and it was incredible! Food is so amazing! Definitely would come again!

Popular neighborhood place with good food and fast service

Excellent for pizza. Quaint venue. Nice people.

Sadly the lasagna I ordered was warm at best and had the consistency of cat food. My buddy ordered the combo plate. Wasn't even warm delivered to the table.

Great pizza joint. Disappointed in the execution of the cooks.

limited seating because of pandemic results in need to turn tables; 2 small outside tables; extra for garlic bread; food quality outstanding

Great food & service. I've there many times, never had a bad meal.

Food is great. The service is always awesome. This is a great little restaurant.

love love love this place! Best Italian Food in Dallas!

Authenticity maintained over decades of serving Dallas food.

Giving it 2 stars on this visit is generous. I always expect to wait, but not when the place was near empty, another table walked out because the wait to even get menus was ridiculous. Ordered, finally, Cesar salad was not a Cesar salad. Entees, Salmon and Chicken Marsala, not great, even made one of us queasy.

Lastly smoke filled the place be cause of something burnt in the kitchen. I already had a bad breathing day due to Dallas pollution and pollen and this threw me over the top tonight.

Gone here in the past, but tonight was our LAST visit. Sorry to write this review.

Great food and friendly staff. The pizza is delicious, as is the house salad and fried artichokes. Love coming into this quaint local spot!

Who knew Dallas had a style of it's own. Look out Chicago and New York.

Great pizza. The rolls are delicious. Pasta is great.
Wedding soup is delicious. We only live like 2 min away so take out is great. The ingredients are great, never taste frozen, you know like other palaces.
I love how they put tape on the soup top to insure it doesn't spill. It's the small things that make this place great.

We went here for a simple pasta dinner before the Dallas marathon. The chicken ravioli was delicious! The only reason this doesn't have 5 stars is because it was very busy so the wait for food was a little long. The staff was amazing and the food was great so if you aren't in a rush I would highly recommend this place for a meal. It's not expensive (about 10-14$ /meal) and well worth the price.

Pizza is good, very thin crust which I love. The pasta is amazing, definitely recommend trying pasta over pizza. Usually do take out, the atmosphere is very homey but small

Friendly staff, great service, uncomplicated and delicious food at a great price.

The staff is always so kind and the food is so great! I always leave with a full tummy!

Has gone so down hill over the last 3 years.
Smells like disinfectant. "Garlic bread" looked like cold stale day old hot dog buns. Spaghetti incredible greasy. Service sad. Too bad. Irs bern a cute neighborhood
joint for over 25 years.

Great thin crust pizza and all great people including the female manager.

Great Italian fixture in Lakewood. You can expect to get something with variety that will leave you happy and full. The wine list is great too and usually makes more sense to get a bottle if you're dining with others.

This was a very very nice place to eat I had the best seat in the house it was Cafe window seat a great place for me to chill and people watch and enjoy a wonderful pizza for lunch the service there was great very laid-back atmosphere how could I complain when they were playing Billie Holiday I can't say enough good things about this place I'll definitely go back there and share it with the other people I definitely recommend going there it's it's great excellent thin crust pizza and May really good

Excellent thin crust pizza. The crust in fact is so cracker thin that I recommend you eat it in-house. As a friend of mine pointed out and I quote, "it doesn't travel well." Toppings are first-rate and the 18-inch pizza satisfied three hungry people. I'll definitely be returning.

I've been going to Scalini's for almost 20 years. I have never been disappointed by anything on their menu and the staff is attentive and welcoming. I even bought trays of their spicy chicken scalopini for family parties. I especially love the cozy atmosphere. This will forever be my favorite Italian restaurant in Dallas.

Pizza was cooked perfectly, and it's rare that you get a crust you love but this place does it. Great atmosphere and great pizza at a fair price.

Food is delicious, very busy place with a large amount of take out business.

I went to Scalini's tonight for the very first time, the pizza is great very close to Campisi's. I would go again for lunch or dinner.

This place...great food, great area, great decor. I recommend it
From the rat pack pics on the wall to the good music selection...good stuff. It has busy times and offtimes one can pick from to eat. Try the crab claws and the linguine pesto add shrimp. Very very nice! I only give it a four instead of five...due to being out of items on occasion during a busy time. For a date, for a leisurely meal, for a business meeting...I recommend it.

Great food and service. Definitely recommend the eggplant parmesan

Best pepperoni pizza in Dallas and very affordable. My kids love it when I bring one of these home.

Amazing place! Loved all the food and great service as well. Definitely recomend!

They places always treats ppl with the upmost respect. I absolutely love it!

Great meals at affordable prices. Definitely a must if you are in the area.

Had a good experience in here with my kids. The food comes quick and the service is just excellent. Prices are convenient.

nice cozy place... staff nice and strong family atmosphere

Tasty little hole in the wall spot with great food/prices. Pizzas are BIG!

Service is minimal, food is alright, but not authentic. Obviously frozen prebreaded chicken parm.

God that was horrible pizza. So, been in the Dallas area for a couple of months and that was my last try at a highly rated pizza place. Why can't somebody make real pizza. Coming from NJ, I guess my only choice is to open a real pizza shop.

Had pizza here, and it was good. Not the best I've ever had but I am a pizza snob. The delivery took a while too but I think it was the weather (it was raining pretty hard).

Best pizza and awesome spaghetti. Gotta try the house dressing!

This is my favorite Italian joint in DFW. Great food and amazing service.
