Scalinis Reviews

My husband and I met a friend here for dinner while we were in town from out of state. He said he s been coming to this restaurant for the past 13 or so years so we took that as a good sign! We started our meal with garlic bread with mozzarella which was fantastic , they were not shy with the cheese! We also all ordered salads which came already dressed with their house Italian. Between the three of us, we ordered the pan seared salmon, a pepperoni pizza and chicken Parmesan. Everything was served quickly and was fantastic! Some of the best Italian food I ve had outside of my own kitchen.

A very noce little place to enjoy pizza and pasta with the family.

Thin crust pizza was amazing. Thank you loved it...

Service was good and food was great. We had the caprese salad, a pizza and spaghetti.. all was liked. Will go back!

This is one of my favorite local Italian restaurants in Dallas. Go here alot for lunch, and also pickup food to go when I had a long day of work. The food is always good and never take long to get it out. They restaurant gives you a nice comfort to relax and enjoy your meal. The restaurant is a bit small and parking can be limited at times, but overall it's a good place to eat!

The best dinner salad and thin crust pizza ever. A small Scalini's All The Way is way more than 2 people can eat at a great value. Crab claws are excellent. Great house wine, great service, quaint surroundings. We won't go anywhere else for pizza!

Great Italian food reasonably priced it a must for Italian food lovers

Food was great!! Service was great!! So pleased!!

First time Dining at Scalini's and it was AMAZING!!! I ordered Chicken Feta & a Chicken Ceasar salad. AMAZING & Will Most DEFINITELY Be back soon!

Really dig this place! Great, little East Dallas spot with a unique vibe. Good food, and a fun time.

Thin crust pepperoni pizza is divine. Best I've ever had. Spaghetti, fettuccine. Everything is delicious

We like to order their pizza regularly. Tastes great every time!

Heard it was really good. Haven't been yet. Will edit when I make it

Always love this place. Order the chicken scallipini.

This is a nice place to go to. The manager is so understanding , me and boss go there alot , we are not far from them at all, practically across the street

The pizza is delicious. I always have room for more. The service isn't the fastest, so don't come here if you're in a hurry! Highly recommend :)

Food & Service is Always Great. Ive never tried there delivery.

Awesome pizza and chicken parmesan. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Was on a motorcycle trip with some friends and we stopped in. Sure glad we did!! Great food and great service. The thin crust on the pizza was suburb and the "all the way" pizza I had was outstanding. I learned afterwards that the "All The Way Pizza" is what won them the "Best in Dallas pizza award"!!! This Italian restaurant/pizzeria does not skimp on their ingredients and toppings!!! I'll be back!!

Love this place. I always go with my family to celebrate my Mother's Birthday or Mother's day and the food is always delicious.

One of my favorite local Italian spots. Great vibe, location and food.

Been going to Scalinis for over 25years and have to say the food has always been fantastic,but Sunday the pizza was trouble ,no taste, except for tasting like cardboard,they also ran out of the squash ravioli before 5 so disappointed

Great food, super value, very friendly. I have been eating there for almost 30 years, always great!!

I had the Southwest Linguine, many flavors going on at once. It was flavorful. They truly need to be generous with the garlic bread. One slice of bread, cut up in small pieces. Can't have Italian, without plenty of bread.

The atmosphere here is super cozy and welcoming. Love the Frank Sinatra playing in the background. A lot of people talk about the pizza, but my boyfriend and I keep going back for the spaghetti and meat sauce and fettuccine alfredo. They crab claws are fantastic as well.

Scalini s is fantastic! It s a pretty tiny place that s always crowded... because the food is top-notch but affordable. The large thin-crust pizza was still under $20, I think. The staff is really friendly and efficient. Some of the customers expect to be seated right away on Friday nights and are rude, but the staff handle it well. They do a great job. I always love coming here, and I order carry-out pizza sometimes, too. You guys are amazing!!!

Dine in or dine out, these people and their food are fantastic! Love, love, love it. Keep it up guys you great!

Spicy Cajun pasta was solid and staff was great. Can t complain about a thing.

Very cozy place. Gave me the feeling I should have gone there long before now. The artichoke and shrimp appetizer had me soaking the sauce with the garlic bread. The chicken parmesan was perfection in every way. And when the waitress says "hot plate", please believe her. The Limoncello cake was sweet and tart and the perfect end to a deliciously blown diet. Very friendly atmosphere and great decor, and the staff knows their stuff so you get fast service. I will definitely be back. Hmm, what am I doing for lunch tomorrow? I have an idea,,,pizza!!!

Great traditional italian fare at good prices. Great house wine by the glass or half/full carafe...

A customer can always gauge the measure of the sanitary conditions of a restaurant based on the condition of the bathroom & the facility itself. Therefore, They get 5 stars for having a near immaculate restroom. Great job!

I'm a Lakewood resident and wanted to treat my in-town guests to a local establishment. We arrived at 5:15 and were immediately seated. Our orders were promptly taken and we received our drinks and appetizers as you would normally expect. Around 5:45 the two guests that ordered pizzas received their orders. They politely waited for the rest of the group to receive their orders. After 10 mins we told them to go ahead to prevent their pizzas from getting cold. After another 10 mins, our waiter appeared to tell us he was just waiting on our order and that the delay was caused by large to-go orders. At 6:20ish I asked to speak with the manager and had to wait 5 minutes for her to appear. Once I got her attention and asked her to explain what was going on she began to make excuses and blame the waiter for not explaining the delay appropriately. I politely asked her for an update on our food and she said, "OK". I never saw her again. The food was brought out about another 5-10 minutes later. Our family will not be going back to Scalini's. I understand delays and being busy but the lack of understanding and poor attitude of the manager is very disappointing.

We had to clean our own table even though not many people were there so yes they have a problem with staffing.
They have a more serious problem gearing their priorities toward their delivery orders and leaving the folks who are actually seated without food for close to an hour. We had finished our spaghetti long before the other couple were served their small pizza. Noticed the delivery person come and go several times during this period. Very awkward and unpleasant experience.
That said, Scalinis does have spaghetti and meatballs down. And there is an ok house salad

Pizza is outstanding, service was quick and friendly.

They got our order wrong (1 pizza, 2 toppings). Wasn't too fond of the crust. The texture of their sausage was disgusting! The only thing that stood out to me was the pizza sauce.

The food is good but we thought an hour and a half would be enough time especially since we were there at 6. Not true. Service was so slow. Made the rush to eat unfortunate and spoiled the experience.

Just walked out EXTREMELY disappointed!... between the HORRIBLE service and finding a Bug (crawling) in our salad we quickly left.... best part??? The girl waiting on us told us it was because "they have had a bad bug issue and they are flying around all in the kitchen" round of applause you are just as stupid as you sound and look... NOT THE SAME PLACE IT USE TO BE........ I would give 0 stars of i could......

A definite neighborhood place. Nothing great but decent.

Yummy food! Great service! Quaint, relaxed atmosphere. Good, free parking.

Pizza is great. The service sucks. I have watched my pizza sit in the window + get cold for 10min. 5 wait staff looked at the order but 0 managed to bring it until it was cold.

Authentic place, delicious recipes, great pizza & pasta, variety of wines, background music is perfect for the Italian vibe of this place. Tip: ask your server for their recommendation over the menu and most likely you will love it.

Lovely hole in the wall with authentic and delicious Italian food, lots of vegetarian options too! Chicken scaloppini is a family favorite, just the right amount of spice and heat.

Omg, great Italian food, and staff is attentive and friendly. It's almost always swamped, but it's well worth a little wait.

Love the food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend it.

Their Smoked Chicken Ravioli was like nothing I've ever tasted in any Italian restaurant.
I was just driving through Dallas to Oklahoma and found this on Google maps. A bit off the interstate but so worth the detour.

Good pizza decent price. The dough has n old world flavor to it.

Small intimate place that attracts a trendy and local crowd

The food was great as always unfortunately there was a family with two crybabies that should have been left in the car,the atmosphere was killed...kent matin

This place has truly terrible customer service. I have been in once to eat and was there over an hour and a half and waited an hour for my food. Then when I paid they totally messed up my check and over charged my card. I thought I would give them another chance by doing a delivery order and was told I am over 3 miles from them when I am only 2.7 miles. I tried to tell the guy and his response was "do you really want to argue with me?" Then hung up. Never go to this place.

Salad had Lots of MSG !!!! PUT MY HUSBAND OUT FOR 4 HOURS

First time there was very nice and the food was not bad

Small portions for the price, and minimum flavor. At least it tasted fresh. Maybe I ordered a weak menu item, but my first impression of this place was nothing special. Good customer service/staff for sure though.

The best thin crust pizza I've ever had! Super vinegary house salad with olives and a sweet pepper. Love their meatballs and their wine by the half or full carafe is a sweet deal. It can get really busy later in the week during peak dinner hours but totally worth it.

The best food I ever had, it's my favorite restaurant.

One of the best chicken lasagna in the city. I have visited this location for over 35 years

Delicious, great service and good prices plus perfect lunch portions

My favorite pizza and great quaint atmosphere. It's always busy but typically the wait isn't bad. I don't recommend for carry out.

Great night to sit out on the sidewalk. Penne Marinara was great. Loved the meatball. You should take Caprese Salad off the menu if you don't know what it is.

Great pizza, the Pasta Primavera is one of my favorite plates.

Customer service is your Number #1,woo your customers you never what kind of day there having.

The perfect Thursday night dining spot when you are thinking pizza and she us thinking pasta. Order the pizza crispy, you will thank me.

Everything's always delicious! Great place for a date night.

Great neighborhood place. You will always find friends you know there

I love thin crust pizza and that's how their pizza is.
My daughter could eat their spaghetti every day if she could. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Service is good too.

Amazing food. Wonderful service! The atmosphere is so chill and enviting! Its a hidden gem!
