POPPA ROLLO'S PIZZA REVIEWS

There are many great pizza options in Waco now but I always return to Poppa Rollo's when I come back to my hometown. Wife tried the BBQ chicken pizza and said it was the best she ever had. My daughter destroyed her mini cheese pizza. Love the beef topping. Make sure to order extra cheese on top to help keep the toppings on.

Great vibes here. Love the atmosphere and the pizza as well. Love that they have green olives. The pizza itself is overflowing with ingredients. Service was very friendly.

I had an online order and the service was quick and the food is always great! Good ranch too.

MOROSO ITALIAN RISTORANTE REVIEWS

2nd time here and everything was great! I wanted something more traditional and had the Bucatini with Meat Balls in Marinara. Very good! Everyone at the table enjoyed their dishes and the Gluten-free free pasta was excellent! For desert we all had the Flour less Chocolate Torte with Vanilla Ice Cream. Delicious! The Expresso was spot on.

My family and I always come here, the food is great. We love the atmosphere and the drinks are always good. Highly recommend for anyone who’s in town or are looking to go to a nice, quaint Italian restaurant. A waco hidden gem for sure.

Loved it. The pizzas are amazing (ask for a dessert pizza for after dinner). I am pretty much a snob about roasted brussel sprouts and I’m sure theirs were the best I’ve tasted. We’ll definitely be regulars at Moroso.

SHORTY'S PIZZA SHACK REVIEWS

Pizza is tasty and it’s a place locals and college students enjoy hanging out. Indoor, covered outdoor, and outdoor seating areas. Friendly staff and good food. Could use a good scrubbing for a few days but that’s part of the vibe too. Great place to find out you’re going to be a grandpa! My daughter and son in law told me playing Bananagrams.

The pizza and wings were good, and the salad was awesome also the customer service was amazing, and she explained everything to us about the menu being our first time.

Great local spot. Variety of pizza, sides and drinks. Staff was friendly and provided good service. Will definitely visit next time we are in Waco.
