    The bread was so hard - it literally hurt my teeth. I'm so disappointed that I added a side order of this hard bread. Delivery arrived quickly, but not as warm as I would expect. Packaged carefully. The eggplant Parmesan tasted ok; I added seasoning and warmed it in microwave. The add-on "entree salad" is really more of a side salad sized. No inclined to return. I wouldn't stay it was disgusting, but I am questioning the freshness of some of their ingredients.

    They're open for dine in for Covid! I went with my coworkers for lunch since it's a nice casual restaurant and is reasonable priced. I got the margherita pizza & it was really good! The crust was crispy and the cheese & toppings were amazing. It was a good portion size for the price as well! I'll definitely be going back!

    Cheese Pizza

    We were looking for a pizza delivery spot near our hotel, and wanted to try something local that wasn't a chain. We opted for Carmelo's, and the pizza was good. The group ordered some of the wings as well, which were reported as "okay" but not great. The pizza was good and had a very yummy pizza sauce to it. I always appreciate when I can actually taste the sauce versus the pizza being mostly a mound of cheese. Carmelo's had a nice balance. I just got the cheese pizza, and the others in the group had something with meat on it, which was reported to be good. Delivery was quick and easy, and Carmelo's certainly satisfied the pizza craving.

    $7?! Really?! Come on guys this is ridiculous! I try to support local small businesses but I want my money's worth!

    This is an $8 Italian sub. Barely any meat a very small amount of tomatoes. Not worth the money. The chicken bites are a bit better but overall this place has gone down a little in terms of quality.

    Extra large Veggie Pizza!!!
    Ms. Crystal G.

    This is definitely one of our favorite pizza spots. They never disappoint! Pizza is always fresh and delicious! The best veggie pizza we've tried!!! Definitely a fav!!! The way these flavors are bouncing off of each other is insane. Omgaaawd, sooooo good!

    Bistro Steak Salad
    Dianne Z.

    I've only ever gotten the Bistro Steak Salad here but I love it. It used to had pine nuts on it but now toasted almonds. I miss the pine nuts but the almonds work. The pizza looks amazing and one day I'll have to try it. This place is pretty popular with local workers it seems so around lunch time it gets pretty crowded with small groups. Tables are close, so try to go early or after the lunch rush if you don't want to wait for a seat. Carryout service is available.

    Seafood Alla Chef $16.99

    I miss Squisito's!!! :( Have been going here for years. I wouldn't 1 star them if it wasn't a clear and good reason for it. Majority of our meals are carry out, but when in the building we've come across some big issues, one time I pointed out to a cashier that their was moldy cake in the dessert fridge and he blew off my comment and said well, do you want a piece or not? Another visit, my hubby saw a cook thru the kitchen window giving himself and good ball scratching before going RIGHT back in to things to make our pizza. We have continued to come back here sporadically, gluttons for punishment I guess, mostly because kitchen/wait staff can come and go. We didn't want to give up on support of a local business. However the food that used to overlook some of this issues now doesn't hold up. They keep getting orders wrong, and the food just doesn't taste as good as it used too, nor is it worth the cost. ( I empathize & appreciate the struggle of pandemic restaurants) It wasn't any better pre- Covid tho. I really hope someone takes over that puts the love back into this place. [In the picture I've added- this is seafood alla chef, that was supposed to be over angel hair pasta. I picked the seafood out of it- tossed the rest and now I've got a majorly upset stomach]

    First time here I enjoyed this quaint little neighborhood pizza/diner establishment. You can get pizza for the takeout by the slice. But I sat in there dining area. Of course I had to order the eggplant Parmesan sub because that's how you judge a place at least in my opinion. The sub was quite good not great although it should've been, the roll was good and the eggplant was well cooked. But there wasn't enough flavor in the sauce and the cheese looked like it had been put on by the bean counters at a Subway sub shop. In other words way too little cheese. Sidenote I asked for the fries to be cooked extra crispy and they were and they were quite good. And they had a friendly attentive staff. I will have to go back again and try more items on the menu.

I also want to say that I get everything has went up these days...utilities and leasing prices are high. However when you make a decision to raise your prices, nothing really should change about your offerings. I was really hoping that the latest reviews were exaggerations, but unfortunately they are not. I'm really shocked because we go to a place in Arbutus on the weekends which is also owned by lovely Asian people. The sandwich and fries are roughly 12 bucks. My husband and I SPLIT that half sub as it is so chocked full of meat (no exaggeration to that either....it's falling on the foil when you are eating it!!) and I have actually put the fries away for another time....oh and by the way that price includes gravy for the fries! You used to get a fair amount of fries at Buddy's.....today, the bag was maybe 1/3 full-and we are talking a very small white bag. No included ketchup. I've never asked for it before, it was just in the bag. Today there was none. Medium soda was included. Price was $13.62 before my added tip. I love the people there, but the price is not worth basically a bread and veggie sandwich with very thin meat. If you look at my picture of the sub, you will see what I ate in the bottom of the picture. There was no meat left in the last three bites! I was really shocked when I watched the gal put on the three provolone cheese pieces, because they were not even close to an actual slice, not to mention that they were actually thin enough to see through!!!! Nope, as much as this pains me, I have to vote with my cash. This isn't like a downsized box of cereal or ice cream that we are all suffering through.....this is a meal. I can't do this. I will be going somewhere else or having lunch from home.
