Friday night date night on the nicest evening of the year so far felt like the perfect excuse to…read morefinally check out Nonna Ilva after seeing it all over social media. I was craving pizza, my adventure buddy was craving a cheesesteak, and this seemed like the perfect place to satisfy both. Parking is street-only, but it's free after 5pm, which is a win for dinner plans. I managed to snag a spot right out front without having to parallel park or circle the block, which honestly felt like a small victory before the night even started. We had planned to meet at 5:30pm, but due to a slightly delayed adventure buddy situation, we walked in closer to 5:45pm -- right at peak "everyone else had the same idea" time. The place was absolutely PACKED. There was one table left in the main dining area (which we grabbed immediately), though we were told there was additional seating in another room. From our table out front, we had a full view of the action...which turned out to be both entertaining and a little telling. Going into the evening, I had already done my homework (because of course I did) and had spent the week narrowing down my order. Everything on the menu sounded incredible, but I ultimately landed on the Broccoli & Sausage Pizza Bianche -- a white pizza topped with mozzarella, broccoli, sausage, chili oil, and burrata. My adventure buddy chose the standard cheesesteak (hoagie roll, onions, provolone), which was exactly the level of culinary risk I expected from him. It quickly became clear that Nonna Ilva was significantly understaffed that evening. We waited about 15 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order, and the three staff members we saw were absolutely hustling -- managing the dining room, takeout orders, and a steady stream of DoorDash pickups. They were working hard, but there were simply too many customers for the team on hand. When our server did make it over, we placed both our drink and food orders at the same time to avoid any additional delays. About 20 minutes later, the cheesesteak arrived -- hot and solid, though a bit more straightforward than expected. Despite ordering it with onions, it came out fairly plain with just steak and cheese on a toasted roll. Flavor-wise, it delivered, but it didn't quite stand out. About 10 minutes after that, my pizza arrived -- and WOW. Absolutely stunning. Piled high with sausage, broccoli, and burrata, and finished with a generous drizzle of chili oil, it looked every bit as good as I had hoped. The timing, however, was a bit of a letdown. My adventure buddy had waited to eat until my food arrived (a noble decision), but by the time the pizza hit the table, his cheesesteak had cooled off quite a bit. Not ideal, but we made the best of it. Now let's talk about the pizza -- because this is where Nonna Ilva completely redeemed itself for me. I have been on a lifelong search for a truly great white pizza, and more often than not, it's been a disappointment -- bland, oily, and clearly an afterthought on most menus. But Nonna Ilva? Nonna Ilva cares about white pizza. This was hands down one of the best white pizzas I've ever had. Perfectly balanced, flavorful, and clearly crafted with intention. The chili oil brought just the right amount of heat, the sausage and broccoli were generous and well-distributed, and the burrata? Game changer. I've never seen another local spot incorporate burrata into a white pizza like this, and it absolutely made the dish. This is the white pizza I've been searching for. The kind I will go out of my way to come back for again and again. Unfortunately, the service side of the experience just didn't match the quality of the food that night. The staff was clearly overwhelmed, and it showed throughout the entire visit. Even paying the bill proved to be a challenge -- we eventually walked up to the register and waited in line with DoorDash drivers just to close out. We still left a good tip because the effort was there -- the team was working hard -- but the overall experience inside the restaurant felt chaotic. I had originally planned to grab dessert from their case, but decided to skip it and head elsewhere given the situation. Next time? I'll absolutely be back for that pizza... but I'll likely go the takeout route like many others seem to be doing. Because while the service may have struggled that night, the food -- specifically that white pizza -- is 100% worth coming back for!

Our server was attentive and did a pretty good job of taking care of us. The only 'ding' that I will give this place is that the restaurant owner and some of his staff members and friends were very loud while working on their beer vats. They showed no consideration for their customers and, instead, seemed to be oblivious to the fact that most people eating in their restaurant wouldn't want to spend their lunchtime raising their voices just so that the person they were dining with could hear them. These guys were so loud and boisterous that, a few times, we just gave up on trying to chat with one another because there was zero chance that we could comfortably speak loudly enough to hear each other.

The slices are big and thin, New York style. The toppings were just the right amount. Didn't feel like overkill, didn't feel like it was skimpy. The kids enjoyed their slices. I felt like the pizzas were done well. Nice sauce, nice dough. The restaurant itself, I sat there while I waited for my take out, is interesting because they have bags of flour piled in one area and take out boxes stacked in another. Could see how that would ruin the ambiance. The lack of health violations shows that while it may look haphazard and grungey, clearly it is not. Will definitely order from here again when I am back in town.

The salad was very good and pretty large. The Greek dressing was tasty. Jenni said her sub was quite good and liked the bread.

Nothing wrong with the Marcello's pizza: it was served piping hot, was evenly cut, and looked great. We just prefer Napoli pizza. Our meal, with drinks, was just under $40. We decided to eat in - not the fancy part but the order at counter and grab your food when it's ready side. We noticed an abundance of flies at the soda fountain and also noticed and appreciated the friendly, welcoming staff. I want to go back and try chicken alfredo and will update our review afterward. For now, Napoli is still our favorite place.

Truthfully, I have a pizza shop located slightly closer to me in town that's pretty amazing too, but don't get me wrong: there are plenty of pizza-shaped spaces in my Italian heart for everybody who deserves it. Marcello's typically has the best prices in town. If Domino's is bottom tier, M's holds the top shelf. I ordered a large pie through an app a few weeks back and it was incredibly good, but for only $1.49 more, today I opted for the square-shaped Sicilian crust and my gosh is it awesome!! The crust is toasty, the sauce is robust. The cheese is baked in and stays in place. The texture is soft yet crispy in all the right spots! This might be a "plain" in terms of toppings, but it's anything but plain in flavor. I actually prefer it sans pepperoni because it's a lot less greasy and there's a lot to savor there that meat eclipses. It's also a generous amount of food if you're hungry and want leftovers, usually they're just as great the next day. I might not be able to return to regular crust! In fact, I was full after one slice, but I really wanted more. I have no idea how they get the perfectly baked texture throughout, but I have no doubt in my mind Marcello's is an amazing choice for a pie. If you're new to the area, you won't be disappointed. You'll instantly see why this is a Carlisle cult favorite!

Benny's has become a staple in our lives - it's a local landmark - and it's not just because it's the close/local pizza option. Benny's provides outstanding food, prepared by a consistent, personable group of guys who work day in and day out to deliver incredible dining experiences. Benny's always seems busy, but they always seem to have everything under control too. They manage a constant barrage of orders with ease, and never come across as too busy to be polite and friendly. This is primarily a take out establishment - there are a couple of seats inside (and one small booth), but it's not a sit down restaurant. That said, you'll feel right at home while waiting for your food - the guys make jokes and friendly small talk with you, and there's always a game of some kind on the TV. Their pizza is great (I'm a fan of their standard cheese or pepperoni, though their buffalo chicken is unreal too). There spaghetti with meat sauce is out of this world. I love their cheese ravioli. Their cheesesteaks are phenomenal as well. I can't say I've ever had a "bad" meal from Benny's. You won't be disappointed, trust me!
