I have tried a variety of pastas here and they are all delicious and made to order. The Penne Pesto chicken is phenomenal! And the Garbanzos on their salads is a nice touch instead of your typical boring side salad. I have also tried the veggie pizza with an assortment of vegetables that was quite tasty! They offer up to a giant size pizza that is big enough to feed a very large family. This is an economical, laid back place to eat fresh Italian food, but nothing fancy so don't expect it to be. Although some of the girls up front are not the friendliest at this location. They could use better customer service and smile once in a while, but I am rating the food that makes it all worth it in the end. I would eat here any day versus at a big chain Italian restaurant. read more

Ali's Pizzaria - Delicious & fresh side salad w/ Garbanzos and ranch dressing - Pizza Near Me - Windcrest, Texas

The pizza i got was soooooo greasy and made it unbearable to eat. The mozzarella sticks were good though but was missing my drink.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a lease spot, owners $$$ don't wanna pay to get fixed. But yup on cleaning guys at times it's bad. The Pizza is pretty dam good, & depends on who's cooking, Appetizers all frozen guys, IF you got fresh, it'll bring in more customers. Salads should be easy,.. but not to bad. Watch the times on noodles, spaghetti, fettuccine etc.. sometimes too long. Take pride in all of it. The Pizza pays the bills but the extra touches pay the pocket! read more

If I could leave a 0 star I would, terrible service awful rude waiters. I don't recommend coming here even it's your last resort awful awful awful! read more

First time visit. Ordered calzone and fried artichoke. Guy advises it comes with three but they only have two. Ask if I still want it I said I'm not going to pay for 3 and get two he goes to the register refunds no questions ask. Said I guess they don't feel like cooking. I haven't even tasted the calzone but I will not be back. Thanks for saving my money read more

Have been avoiding leaving them a bad review for a long time, but tonight was the 3rd time I've been hassled over banana peppers. The cook is rude and you can hear him talking shit while you're waiting in the lobby. When I picked up my order I noticed they were once again very skimpy with the banana peppers...so I requested more. I was handed 3 whole ones wrapped in foil......I'm supposed to chop them myself??? Spoke to a manager and he just said "ok sorry" won't return until new kitchen staff is hired. read more

Im saddened to have to say this because I liked this place. I really gave it a chance. Today was the last staw. I opened my spaghetti n meatballs and immediately smelt this rancid horrid smell. Thinking my husband had just downed a bottle of cough syrup I looked at him, and then my stomach turned. I was served rotten meatballs and old spaghetti. I had meatballs from Ali's before and could taste they weren't made that day, like I said, I gave this place a chance. Yes, the calamari does suck like someone else has said. Be careful eating at this location. But thanks for the motivation to cook my own food again, I guess it was needed. read more

This restaurant is badly run. My husband got his food and I waited and waited and never got my food. When I asked about it, I was told that this is the way they serve people here, one at a time even if you're in the same party. We talked to the owner/manager who told us that they are not a waitress restaurant and that they are shorthanded. We saw many, many pizzas and other food coming out of the kitchen but not ours. Food was burning in the kitchen.I asked for a refund since my food was not coming anytime soon and my husband was almost finished eating. They told me they couldn't do that because there was no manager here. They finally called the owner/manager/mom on the employee's phone. I highly suggest people try a different pizza restaurant than this one. This one is horrible! My husband told the manager/owner/mom to just imagine if they were shorthanded customers if they keep operating this way. Never again! read more

Don't waste your time here. Been twice and once the girl behind the cash register went to go clear a table to no waiting customers instead of taking my order and toady ordered by phone so I can avoid the last incident and they tell me 20 mins to pick up. I show up 20 mins later and had to wait another 25 mins before I ask for my money back. This place suffers from poor management. read more

Their Meatball recipe on the pizza is spectacular - I recommend getting the Ali's classic pizza.

Before Ali's it was rays and food is delicious I give them that but there are times were the establishment is filthy and makes you question wether they are sanitary read more

Crappy customer service and terrible pizza. I'll never try bringing my family back here again. Learn how to treat your customers.

If New York Style Pizza was made by a Middle School Cafeteria then this would be it. I got a one topping pizza to go and the topping was very sparse. It might as well been a cheese pizza with a couple pieces of a topping that I paid extra for. The cheese and sauce tasted like the same kind I can get at Costco. The pizza crust was undercooked. No wonder when driving by it looks like it barely has anyone in there. I don't see this location sticking around. read more

Eh. Pizza was okay, but I think it was topped with canned olives? I mean I don't expect hand-picked olives of the freshest variety, but at least chop 'me up to hide it from me. Also the veggie rolls were stuffed with canned mushrooms? Everyone who worked here was nice and was working hard, but the pizza itself tasted like pizza-buffet quality (that is not a compliment). I guess it's not terrible, but you could just head across the street to Pizza Hut and get better/the same quality pizza for cheaper. read more

Great pizza great staff!! Amazing. Will always be my go to! Both locations the one of judson and the one on walzem

I'm sorry, but this place sucks! I have been 4 times since they opened and each time has been worse and worse... They have bad customer service, food service and food. However, I believe this issue to be with the kitchen staff and the "manager." The ladies who expo food and work the registers are very nice and obviously try to do their best. I took my family here last night and it seems like they must be doing poorly financially with this new location. They were totally skimping and leaving out ingredients on EVERYTHING. They screwed up our order - and I don't mean a single item. They actually managed to do something wrong with each item! My oldest son is ridiculously picky about sauce though, so when they ignored our light sauce request, it ruined his dinner. And that was after the had to remake our pizza, since they got the order wrong to start (I guess making a cheese pizza w/ light sauce is tall order?). As for my wife and I, we have had their meat calzone before and LOVED it! However, last night it was just a SMALL layer of pep and a sh*t-ton of what I'm guessing was ricotta cheese. I was not aware of this until last night, but shoving a bunch of ricotta inside a melted glob of mozzarella is very simply, gross. So yeah, we're personally done with this place, which is a shame since the Walzem strip could definitely use more restaurants of quality. When I asked to speak with the manager, they basically refused the request. And instead, the cashier/expo/bus person came back to our table and told us that the manager said they would make us new food and not charge us and that the manager was busy and couldn't speak with us. Well, honestly, at that point I was just friggin' hungry, as were my wife and kids, so we just ate the food they brought and decided this would be our last visit to Ray's. read more

This place was a huge disappointment don't waste your time if you are looking for a good quality pizza. They cheap out any way a pizza place can. The toppings were far and few between. I ordered an 18" pizza and I expected ample amount of toppings. I literally counted the and there were on 5 pieces of Italian sausage on my pizza. How is that possible?How can a pizza that serves a thin crust still be doughy? Usually a pizza with extra cheese is welcome in my home but not this abomination, there was almost no sauce and what was there had no flavor. Either the owner doesn't care about who's cooking there pizza or is just cheap and stingy business. I'd rather chew on a homeless man's shoe that's covered in rancid sauce followed up with rotten expired cheese. read more

Very disappointed second time there our first time was ok second time it was worst experience ever. No one ever came to our table to take our order we walked and placed order with cashier. We ordered a pizza and two pasta plates with salads we had to remind staff of our order after 45 mins. Then proceeded to wait another 20 mins for our pastas by the time we wanted a refund on our pastas we were told they couldn't refund pastas that we had to wait. Wouldn't recommend it or stop in get .... staff was rude and unfriendly read more

Ordered food thru Door Dash. The chicken Marsala was sent to us with NO Pasta and we didn't even get our cheesy garlic bread. I ordered shrimp Alfredo and it was so spicy I couldn't eat it. Who makes an Alfredo dish spicy?? What a waste of $50 read more

I just read an article in the paper about this business hiring contractors then after 80 hours of electrical work Ali doesn't want to pay them, ANYTHING because bill was too high. Nobody can get 80 hours of electrical work done for $1000. Mr Ali, don't screw these people over! read more

I just ordered the two slice daily special. When they brought it to me, it had turned into a full pizza. Said the server, "We didn't have any slices ready, so he cooked you a whole pie." For the cost of two slices! This is a nice neighborhood Italian food place, I can certainly recommend it, the food is good. read more

My husband wanted to try this place for our date night. Yea big mistake. We walk in and there wasn't many people in there. Maybe about 2 tables were taken. We go up to the counter to place our order, and I order a Gyro with extra meat and sauce. Well right away she said no to the extra meat but ok to the extra sauce. I mean I am willing to pay for the extra meat. So that is strike one. Then my husband placed his order. Everything was fine there. So we sit and wait for our food. The lady called our number but my food was ready and not my husbands. Well, about 5 minutes later his was done and he went to get it. Now in the process of waiting for our food there was a hispanic couple with 2 or 3 kids with them and a African American women with a new born baby in a carrier that came in and took their seats. They all ordered. We are eating. Then I noticed that The lady that works there, took the hispanic people their food but she couldn't bring us our food. WTF!!!! Oh and what really pissed me off is that she lady with the baby had to go get her food. She couldn't bring the food to her either. This is some racist crap right here. I will never be coming back ever again and I will make sure I tell my friends and family too. Not only with all that crap was happening, the lady was cleaning tables but not the floors. It was a mess. Yes I have pictures. I ain't stupid. read more

Stopped by chance, because I was actually going to eat Bush's Chicken in the same shopping center. Everything was on point! Restaurant clean, pizza great, wings (boneless) were good. I'm glad I stopped in on the way to Austin. Would definitely come back. My kids enjoyed the small arcade they had also. That was a nice touch. Waitress was super nice and attentive. She checked on us regularly, and made sure we satisfied. Thank you again. read more

The service by Adriana with excellent, she was so courteous and polite. She took the time to go to the menu with me and was super nice.

Monday through Thursday they have a special $6.99 special plus $1.75 topping read more

This was my first time ordering from this establishment. I saw it on DoorDash and it looked tasty. They did not disappoint, I lived in New York for many years and this was spot on , the pizza has great crust , the cheese melts perfectly and the sauce ratio is on point. I would disregard and bad reviews those people have no idea what they're talking about. I'm a very picky person and don't give 5 stars Willy nilly. They deserve it, if I could give 10/10 I would . I hope the owner is very proud , they've made a life long customer out of me . read more

I've ordered from this place numerous times and have loved almost everything that I have gotten. I like their Eggplant Parm sandwich, as well as their Chicken Cheesesteak. My Husband swears by their Calzones, but I found the one I had (it was the Alfredo Calzone) to be far too greasy for my liking. When ordering their normal cheesesteak, I was supremely let down, as it was salty hamburger with the touted 'grilled onions and peppers' nowhere to be seen. Of course, I will just chalk that up to the possibility of expectation versus reality. Eating in, the place is spacious, with video games and at least one pool table. The staff were friendly enough. My only negative experience has been waiting the longest for my pasta dish (it was a shrimp pesto), to the point that the people I was with had gotten their food and had finished before mine arrived. There was no special order and I don't know what could have taken so long. Considering I could have made the dish at home in less time and there was only one other couple in the place (and they ordered a pizza). However, for the cost and the dishes that I do actually enjoy, I can overlook the negative experiences I've had. It's not the greatest Italian food, but it's definitely not the worst. I just haven't actually tried their pizza. read more

Pizza is ok, but the pasta is the best. Seriously, every pasta is awesome. There is a game room too. It is clean always and a nice low key place read more

Ordered chicken marsala, I've had less salty anchovies. It should be creamy and tangy.

Ordered off of Door Dash. I got the Philly cheesesteak with a side of Alfredo, holy moly! This food is legitimately delicious, and you can tell they really care about the quality of their "to go" food just as much as their dine in food. That's really cool, because that's where most places fall short. Shows their commitment to their guests. Packaged perfectly! Every special request I made was fulfilled. Thanks for being so awesome! read more

The New York style pizza was great! We ordered by the slice (3.50 with 2 toppings) salad was fresh and the beer ice cold. Decent selection of beer. Quiet is few TVs and a small arcade. read more

Burnt pizza. Had to wait a while as the staff was too busy socializing with each other. One blonde girl was doing her job as the others were resting on their elbows and touching their faces right before handling my food (and no others). I work across the street. Won't be back. When you charge a premium price for your pizza you should deliver quality! Paid about $14 for a two topping med pizza. NOT HAPPY read more

The food is good, but.. Not worth the wait, or terribly rude customer service. Staff acts as if they are miserable and hate people, it does not matter how polite you are to them, several times we have gone until we finally had enough. Wait over an hour for our food, and every time they were rude. I'd rather drive across town than deal with that. We were all very happy that a location moved closer.. But we will not be returning sad to say. Too many chances were given, also the fact that they are rude to the high school students that come in during the day after school was witnessed while we were there... Ilwe will take our business elsewhere. read more
