Review for take out only. Alfredo's was closed down due to a fire but now reopened after a year of renovation. Wanted to show my support by ordering a pie to go. It was hard to get anyone's attention when I was there even though I was the only customer. Zero interaction when I picked up my order. Staff found it and plopped the box on the counter. Similar to other reviewers, rudeness vibe is definitely there. Average looking pizza, probably one notch up from school pizza. Plenty of parking spots and spacious inside should you want to dine in. read more

Alfredo's Italian Kitchen - Cheese pizza - Italian Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

Review is for takeout only. Ordered a medium cheese pizza and a tiramisu dessert. Pizza was good but have to say the tiramisu is not tiramisu at all. It's basically a tiny piece of cake that looks like tiramisu but has no taste of it. And to charge $8 for it? That's crazy! read more

We ordered the meat lovers pizza and it was entirely unremarkable. It was okay, but it was really bland and very light on meat given it's called "meat lovers." A couple annoyances: the "tip" defaulted to 15% for a pickup and I had to return to that part of the order to delete it; also, an automatic "service fee" was added (4%) and it doesn't say for what. How about telling your customer why you are penalizing 4% at checkout? So basically, a very regular bland pizza was over $26. No thanks. We won't we back. read more

Great prices for HUGE portions! Amazing & fast service! BEST subs in Melrose! I have never made a review before but I had to download this app to review them. You are met with friendly faces when you enter. They have a huge menu to choose from. My girlfriend and I got the Falafel wrap, the Chicken Pesto wrap and a side of sweet potato fries. It came with an additional bag of potato chips. Let's just say, it was a FEAST! My girlfriend raves about the falafel wrap and the chicken pesto sub was the best sub I've had in many years. Juicy, grilled chicken, the perfect amount of pesto, melt in your mouth cheese, delicious toasted sub roll. The sub stretched about 12 inches. The sweet potato fries were fresh and they must have used at least two whole sweet potatoes to make them. Around $40 for all of what we got is a steal! We will be making two meals out of all of the items we bought. This is a hidden new gem of Melrose. I can't wait to try their pizza and the rest of their menu! Tell your friends and family about them. You won't regret it! read more

Alfredos Italian kitchen in Melrose: Great food, atmosphere, and service. Portions are huge on some of the dishes that come with sides, so you may want to consider splitting an entree with a friend. The menu has lots of different options so I think anyone could find something delicious. Recommended! read more

I ordered delivery through grubhub and the driver didn't deliver everything however when I called Alfredo's to let them know they were absolutely amazing. They remade the food and delivered it immediately. The food was absolutely delicious and I could not have asked for better service. 10/10 would order here again anytime. Thanks again! read more

I called up and order a veal parm sub for pick up. Told 25 minutes (it was just past 5 pm). It is a small restaurant so haven't ordered since Covid but there was a local FUNdraiser.Went in lots of covid protection for us both (customers and workers). Told them what I was there to pick up and out in less than 5 minutes love it! When I got home what awesome packing sub was in a container with tinfoil wrap (no leakage of sauce) inside. We won't discuss what a mess I made at home, but that is not unusual. It was so yummy and I felt so good to help with a FUNdraiser as well. Very impressed with Alfredo's "You got this under control much appreciated! " Oh and Thanks for caring about the local community to give back a percentage of your night's earnings. read more

This place has some of the best subs that I've had in a while. I just moved to the area from the Midwest and we couldn't get delicious subs like this. I'm personally a big fan of the chicken parm and the Italian. read more

Dunno about most of the other food but the Veggie burger my wife ordered was a joke. For $12 you expect to get more than just a veggie pattie stuck between 2 pieces of bread. No toppings. No Cheese. No sauce. Extremely disappointing. I don't know how the owner can be proud to have this item on their menu. Maybe they hate vegetarians? Also my fried chicken was clearly left in the fryer too long and was way over cooked. Rock hard breading and dry chicken on the inside. Difficult to eat. As were the onion rings which were also over cooked and nearly rock solid. Fries were krinkle cut, and while nothing special, they were at least cooked properly. I will not be ordering from here again. read more

Today was my first and last time ordering from Alfredo's Italian Kitchen. When I got home from work today I had a menu in my mailbox so I thought I'd give it a try. I ordered the Chicken Romano. It sounded wonderful from it's menu description. "Breaded chicken tenders, sauteed with ham, new sweet sauce (marsala) over mushroom tortellini, topped with mozzarella." I also ordered the garlic bread with cheese. First off...the garlic bread was uneatable! It had WAY too much garlic and parsley on it, and it was burnt. The cheese was like a plastic sheet and the bread was soggy in the middle and burnt on the outside. The garlic was so overpowering I couldn't even finish the one bite I took. The Chicken Romano had the same plastic like cheese on top of over cooked ham and under cooked pasta. The mushrooms inside the tortellini was dry and flavorless. The breading on the chicken was soggy, and the marsala sauce was greasy and watery with a salty, syrupy taste. It was gross. The only positive thing I can say is the the delivery was fast and the delivery person was very friendly and courteous. I will be throwing the menu in the trash along with my $21 meal. read more

Ordered via grubhub. The driver went to the wrong address. Ordered 4 sodas, received 1. Found a hair baked into the bread. So there you go. read more

The service was deplorable! The cashier seems that he doesn't like work with customers. In the kitchen behind, a man was cutting some sausage and eating part of it with bear hands. He also took out some things writhing his teeth afterward. Totally unprofessional and disgusting. read more

I went into Alfredo's at 230pm in November 3, 2019. Ordered a pasta dinner for one advertise between 11am-3pm pasta dinners for one are 8.99+tax. When he ran my card for the food and handed me a receipt I was charged 17-18 dollars for a menu priced plate of chicken broccoli ziti Alfredo which I is listed around 13.99. When I pointed out the advertisement and asked why I was charged more they told me I didn't ask for it.... so I told them that wasn't a good way to keep customers especially when this is a lunch deal that doesn't involve a coupon it's just a daily thing they do in which he replied well it's for a dinner for one as another excuse when they only sell one size. I told him I wouldn't be back and that it's crazy how much they don't care about first time customers that order from them. Also either out of spite or stupidity the worker didn't even cover the food correctly and wrapped it in plastic wrap so when it was unwrapped boiling hot oil and Alfredo sauce spilled and caused burns in my girlfriends lap whilst she was checking for the instructions on the food we gave them which also were not carried out. We will not be back and I hope this review will bring awareness to these issues and inform other customers who are either first timers at this establishment just so they know how they do business off rip. Because I felt like they trapped me into paying full price and the excuses that were given could have been remedied if they had respect for their customers but unfortunately they're just crooks. read more

Alfredo's Italian Kitchen - Italian Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

This place is garbage. Y'all have mediocre subs and pizza? I'm so impressed. You're in an awful location and you're always completely EMPTY? I'm shocked. You hire rude people to work in your restaurant that are entitled, spoiled teenagers who have no business working anywhere near something I'm going to eat? I'm floored. Thanks for the experience. You're trash. read more

The food here was a complete joke. Please do not purchase a meal here.... I ordered here for the first time because the reviews were pretty good.... boy, I was in for a shock. The "ziti" was elbow pasta... the garlic Alfredo was SOGGGY.... they clearly didn't drain the boiled water from the pasta before adding sauce.. there was absolutely no seasoning on this dish. Not a pinch of salt. The nastiest crap I've ever ordered. I also ordered cheese fries... they threw a load of QUESO cheese on the fries, and then mozzarella smh ... it was disgusting, and once more a JOKE. The mozzarella sticks ordered were also SOGGY. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Alfredo's came to Melrose a few years back and has always been a staple of mine for quick Italian food. It was always comparable to our favorite dine-in restaurants when it came to taste and food quality, but I can see that this is quickly going downhill. We ordered from Alfredo's on Friday night knowing the service would be slow. We ordered about four things and were quoted 45 minutes, no big deal. An hour and 15 minutes later I called to check on the delivery time only to be told the server should be here in a few minutes. 30 minutes later we called again and they said she should have been there an hour ago. We confirmed the address was correct and while on the phone she finally pulled up. The delivery driver walks up to our front door and is SO rude about everything it was despicable. I was still on the phone, so I let the manager know that her behavior is going to quickly turn customers away and he apologized having received similar complaints before. I figured the food would be cold, but it was still warm. I was happy that it was still in good condition and hadn't gone cold in the car on the long drive over. The Caesar Salad with Grilled Shrimp wasn't bad, but the lettuce definitely wasn't fresh. The Chicken Neapolitan sub was missing several ingredients and one of our family members felt ill after eating her chicken fingers and fries which was NOT OKAY. The french fries were the worst I've had in a long time and they used to be pretty good. It was amazing how bad the food was compared to our previous orders to Alfredo's. We have been customers for a long time and are officially not anymore. The service was terrible and they kept trying to make excuses, but the food didn't make up for it like I had hoped. Rumor has it this restaurant has undergone management changes and the suppliers are different, which may be the case, but the food has really gone under. I am so disappointed with the outcome of our dinner Friday night... I used to recommend this location to friends and family, but that will no longer happen. read more

Very good take out and delivery for Italian and BBQ steak tips/sausages. Have tried their pizzas (better than average), the steak/bbq sausage tips with rice, the kids meatball w/ravioli, chicken wings, and their steak bomb sub...all very good, and above average quality and portion....pizza was slightly dry, order with extra sauce and cheese. Best steak and cheese in Melrose, Italian on par with Victors in Saugus, have yet to try their pasta dishes, will report in on these later. read more

Solid take out restaurant. Thin crust pizza, great Steak Bombs and Italian subs. I need to try their buffalo pizza soon as I understand it is lights out. Oh, the chicken and broccoli in a cream sauce is rich, buttery and always hot. read more

The place sucks! I waited over 1.5 hours for a pizza. When it came it was cold and it was burnt. The people working there can't even understand English. The place blows! read more

We got one of their menus left in our mailbox and the menu looked good. We ordered an assortment of things last weekend as we were babysitting our young nephews. Truly, their portions as someone else mentioned, are large so we had enough for dinner and then lunch & dinner the next day. The pasta was delicious (chicken, ziti & broc) great steak tips (they are HUGE), good salad (also huge), yummy meatballs and tasty chicken cutlets and delicious rolls that reminded me of what you get at Bertucci's. We'll order from them again for sure. *OH - and a word to anyone who may not like garlic...this might not be the place for you as they do use a lot of it - which is fine with me. read more

BEFORE finding three hairs in my salad I had called to complain that wee were given Italian when asked for Greek ... there was mordella on salad when I requested none ... I asked for feta and onion NO feta and onion ... I then called back IRRATE after finding three hairs in my salad .... I was told " YOU ALL SAY THIS CLICK"OMG!!!! EW!!!! read more

Alfredo's Italian Kitchen - THREE HAIRS IN SALAD!!!! - Italian Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

I can't believe what we just went through ordering and getting something simple like a pizza. Having the order taker in such a hurry on the phone make a mistake and act like you're crazy is just ridiculous. Arguing with your customer and telling me sarcastically what a nice lady I am was salt in the wound. My family had been loyal customers for years but no longer. There's far too many places in the area that have good food and respectable consideration for their customers. When you've made a mistake, own up to it. Don't make your customer feel like they've made a mistake spending money at your company for several years. read more

lets be honest, there are a LOT of pizza places around. Alfredo's offers the usual assortment of pizza, italian food, sandwiches, etc. They make a particularly good buffalo chicken pizza - apparently all the teenagers love it. I tried it and it wasn't spicy but it was tasty. Its one of about three pizza places in Melrose that I like. Chances are you will get a good version of whatever you order. And they only have a couple of tables and its super noisy, so you'll do best to take your food home with you. read more

Me and my family love Alfredo's. Very good pizzas and wraps! Love that they are opening a location in Wakefield as well. Thank you Alfredo's! read more

I've been ordering from Alfredo's in Melrose since 2013 and it's always really great! For pizza, the Buffalo Chicken Ranch is amazing! I have also ordered the Apple Walnut Salad with chicken. It's overpriced to be honest, but I love the lemon vinagrette with the apples, goat cheese and tomatoes. The Greek wrap is also delicious, and it's never a problem when I request no olives. When I get delivery, they are always on time and sometimes come early. The woman who delivers is prompt and polite. As far as take out places go, this is one of the best in town. read more

When we want to order pizza delivery in Melrose because we're too lazy to go pick it up, we go to Alfredo's because they are always quick. The food is average Italian pizza...although the bread they serve with some of their main dishes is always fresh and tasty. But wanted to give credit where it's due, they are always quick on the delivery...and by quick, I mean you'll wait 30-40 minutes for a pizza instead of closer to an hour like most places. read more

Alfredo's Italian kitchen is an absolutely amazing restaurant. It is the best Italian restaurant in town. I highly recommend it for quick pick ups , delivery, and even catering. The food is delicious and portions are big and filling . Pasta dinners are good for two people. I recommend their buffalo ranch pizza, grilled chicken dinner, steak dinner, and their chicken ziti broccoli Alfredo style. Prices are cheap compared to other italian places . read more

Buffalo Chicken Pizza. That's all you need to know. Go ahead and order it, you won't be disappointed

I can't believe that no one has mentioned the unbelievably rude girl who takes phone orders yet. I like the food here and the drivers are usually on top of their game when it comes to my order, but man, that girl who answers the phone makes me feel like I am inconveniencing her/she is ready to kill someone by calling a take-out restaurant and ordering food. She always sounds so pissed off. If you hate your job so much, quit! I know I am not alone on this, a friend has mentioned it to me as well. It actually has deterred her from ordering from there anymore. This is verbatim of my recent phone order: Her: Alfredo's. Me: Can I place an order for pick-up? Her: Yup. Me: Small cheese pizza. Her: Yup. (hangs up) Any modicum of customer service is completely lost on this girl. Hey owner/manager of Alfredo's: FIRE HER. Otherwise, love your pizza. read more

This place is awesome! I don't know how long it has been open in Melrose, but someone left a menu on our doorstep a little while ago which prompted us to check it out. A little pricier than your typical sub/pizza place, but totally worth it. Pastas and salads are huge (enough for dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow). Creative pizzas and pastas. We've ordered about four or five times, and got something different each time...haven't yet been disappointed. Scampi pasta is my favorite so far. I'm determined to try all of the pastas on the menu. read more

Don't overlook this gem! It's easy to think, just an ordinary pizza/sub place. But, alfredo really knows how to cook! I live very close and they are my go to take out. I've had everything, pizza, calzone, burgers, chicken parm, eggplant parm, meat balls, salads, gyros, subs....everything is fresh and delicious, consistently. NEVER been disappointed with the quality. Definitely don't miss out on this hidden treasure, you'll definitely be coming back for more. read more

Disappointed with the taste of my calzone as it was 21$ after getting an extra side ranch. Covered in grease and not too much filling. R

If they could get the delivery orders right I would give them 5 stars, but every time I order from them they get it wrong. I am done eating from this place. read more

One of the worst pizzas I've ever had. This is not a "hidden gem" this is ultra low quality ingredients paired with minimal effort. Ordered a small pizza and a hot sub recently. The pizza cheese appeared not to be completely melted but upon further inspection realized it was just really poor quality cheese - very mealy. The hot sub was drenched in grease to the point that the outside was getting soggy and the bread was untoasted - why have a hot sub and not even ask if you want it toasted? Weird. Finally, ordered some extra sauce on the pizza. It was obviously not put on - if that was extra sauce then regular must be a white pie. Ate some, Threw out the remaining pieces. read more

This gets 4 stars when compared in its category of a predictable and quality take out pizza place with a solid rest of the menu. This isn't being compared to gourmet pizza - if you want artsy pizza with lots of dough options, organic this and that, and gluten free etc this isn't your spot. Buffalo chicken pizza can be a total miss in other places in Melrose but Alfredo's has it totaly right. They have good customer service and their pick-up times are pretty much on the spot but can vary. Like absolutely everything in Melrose - not open very late. Chicken Fajita pizza is boss. Get it. N'uff said. read more

Great portions for your buck I live not far from this location when I pick up food they make sure they take care of me. This is only my first couple experiences and this is honestly the best food I've had in the Melrose area. FYI BUFF CHIX CALZONE FTW ~ SMALL Is bigger than my arm.... read more

I'm obsessed with their buffalo chicken ranch pizza. I usually order for pickup and the pizza is always ready quickly. Fast service and If you love buffalo chicken pizza, I definitely recommend trying Alfredo's' as it is excellent. read more

Good buffalo wings. I love their extra pepperoni pizza with garlic!

I've never dined in, but I've had delivery countless times. I keep coming back because it's consistent. Prices are fair, portions are generous and delivery arrives quickly. I take a star off because the pasta isn't fresh. Now admittedly I've become a snob about that with Italian places, but a major caveat is a lot of those places with fresh pasta don't deliver. Alfredo's maxes out convenience with online ordering. The subs and sides are good, no unpleasant surprises. read more

First of all took over an hour and a half to delivery. The food was extremely salty.
