Service- F Nonexistent waitstaff. I was never greeted by or assisted by anyone. There was absolutely no interaction or eye contact from any waitress. I eventually stood by the bar and had to beg for my drink. At the end of my meal a lady cleared my dishes. Unbelievably poor customer service. I felt like I did not exist. Buffet setup- F Trays and bowls of food were on tables so high that I had to stand on my tippy toes to barely see anything. It was very awkward to me and it was not easy to get the food. Food- D The salad is just lettuce and a few slices of carrots. No cheese, onion, nothing! No light dressings provided. I could not ask for additional toppings since I did not have a waitress. The wings were plain, no sauces available. Soup choice was minestrone, not something desirable to me. Pizza and calzone were decent but only one type of each was available. I was not impressed with the selection. Overall this is a meal I regret and $13 could have been spent elsewhere more enjoyable. I did not tip. I have not tipped probably 5 times in my life and this is one of times. read more

Pizza and Stromboli are amazing! Love this spot! Was craving a good local pizza and just tried this place out and it was DELICIOUS! The crust was melt in your mouth. Definitely a Westerville classic! Can't wait to go back! read more

Ordered Ravioli. Came cold. Very cold. Didn't see waitress to even complain about it. Ate 3 bites and pushed it away. Waitress finally came by and didn't say anything . Very unhappy. Wont be back. Not the first time this has happened. Jimmy Craig 614-370-0773 read more

Excellent Stromboli and salad. Customer service was amazing, my waitress was extremely polite. 11/10 would recommend. Definitely go there!!!

Best Stromboli in Columbus.. If you want great Stromboli in Columbus, go to Carsonie's because it is the best. I am writing this review because I had shared a medium Stromboli with a friend with Carsonie's signature Original Stromboli that is Stuffed with pepperoni & sausage, mozzarella & provolone cheese and served with a side of marinara dipping sauce. All that cheesy goodness. A normal Stromboli takes 30-45 minutes to prepare and bake, but it is worth the wait. Also, their pizza is that way. When you get your Stromboli, you can taste the quality they put in. It was delicious with all that cheesy goodness. If you want the best Stromboli in Columbus, go to Carsonie's in Westerville and Upper Arlington. It will be the Stromboli you will ever have in your life. read more

We used to live down the street, and I miss the calzones something fierce. We went back about 6 months ago, and it was still just as good. I've seen some poor reviews, but every time we have been, the food has been good, and the staff attentive and nice. I hope things pick back up, and people realize the good food and service available at such a long running establishment. read more

Not a Local. We had been working in the area and thought this sounded good. Really tight area to be seated in, tables too close. Our waitress was unprofessional in attentiveness & poorly dress unless you work at Hooters:) Seemed upset about our order, she really tried to sell the buffet in the fly infested place. I couldn't do it, sorry. Waited 35 minutes after being seated for one medium stromboli and our two cokes. Another waitress brought our food, our waitress asked as she flew by our table if we needed anything and stumbled as I asked for napkins. Seeing how I defeated two mammoth flies at our table, I couldn't help be ask for clean napkins. Really out dated place, food wasn't worth it really, shell was burnt to a crisp. Other than a total make over starting with blonde waitress who is additioning for Hooters, this place has a long way to go to even match its sister shop @ OSU area. read more

Carsonie's - Mammoth Flies try for Stomboli and get DEFEATED! - Pizza Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

I have been living in columbus for 23 years and randomly ran across this place two days ago. It's very good. The cauliflower crust pizza and the salad. I've been there two days in a row. The second day was the salad. They modified for me. They were not skimpy on anything. The customer service is good too. read more

Thank goodness the food was delicious, the service was horrible! I've been here several times and the Stromboli is consistently good. The restaurant ambiance is cool, tons of interesting sports memorabilia throughout. Helps keep your mind off how bad the service is, okay not really. Let's see, prices are decent and portions are okay. On this visit something was terribly wrong! There was ONE (1) waitress responsible for hostessing, bussing, and cashiering. I'm not sure if she wasn't cooking too! Absolutely nothing ran smoothly this day! My family and I had to wait a half hour after finishing our meal to get our check. The first 20 minutes waiting on the check, the next 10 waiting on the waitress to come back and bring the right check! This is the deal, if the waitress would have acknowledged, offered an apology or an explanation regarding the service, this would have made things a little better. Overall the Stromboli is good, but I won't be going back any time soon. read more

Carsonie's - Pepperoni and sausage Stromboli - Pizza Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

Stromboli is the best you will find anywhere in the U.S. Tip: Hit up the $8.99 lunch buffet on Wednesdays. Update: I still see people giving this place less than 5 stars. And, what do they all have in common? THEY DIDN'T TRY THE STROMBOLI. Seriously, people, it's not an exaggeration: If you don't get the stromboli, what are you doing with your life? So, I'll repeat that again: GET THE STROMBOLI. No offense to the rest of their menu, but there is literally no need to get anything else. At all. Want to try other things? Go to the buffet as I mentioned before. That way, if you're not impressed with other menu items, THE STROMBOLI IS OFFERED DURING THE BUFFET; YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR NOT TRYING IT. read more

Carsonie's has been in the same spot for a long time. Which usually means its good eats. The other night the wife and daughter and myself stopped in. Wife and I both started with caesar salads. They were decent sized and well dressed. Daughter ordered a basic cheese pizza. The slices and crust were both huge. She pretty much killed it herself. Wife ordered the lasagna. She said it was very delicious.The sauce was done right and was nice and cheesy. I had the chicken parm with spaghetti Alfredo. The chicken was perfectly tender and breaded nicely. The sauce was rich and very flavorful. The alfredo sauce was ok, A little bland, but that could be in contrast to the tomato sauce on the chicken. The staff is very polite and friendly. the location itself is comfortable with plenty of seating inside and out. There is evena full size Bocce pit.We didnt get a chance to place because there was a group on it the whole time we were there. For sure worth a return visit. read more

I have been to Carsonies a couple of times now and I have not been disappointed once. The first occasion I was there was when a few of my friends wanted to hit up a bar before moving my friend into his apartment and the other was on a casual date with this girl I liked for my birthday. Both times I got either the Calzone or the Stromboli. I got the Original Stromboli which is pep, sausage and cheese for $10. I am a average guy and a huge eater. I was full after this portion of food. The tall beers or at least my Yeungling Brown & Tan on tap was $4.50 not to bad for a huge glass of beer. The atmosphere and ambiance was good, the only problem was that it was a little louder than I expected. For the bar experience that I had at Carsonies, was great or at least to my liking. If you want a college girl hangout spot, this is not the spot for you. The bar patrons are usually older guys that want to watch sports and hangout with the cool bartender. Carsonies food and draft beer selection has never failed either time that I have been there. FYI in the summer/spring/early fall months, they open up the bocce ball court. read more

Stopped for dinner last night, sort of by accident because I couldn't find the the restaurant I was planning to go to. But they were doing a land-office business so I figured it couldn't be all bad. I elected to sit at the bar so as not to take up a table for just me. The guy next to me was eating a stromboli (I asked him what it was) and he raved about it. While I was waiting on mine there must have been twenty come out of the kitchen so I figured it couldn't be all bad. A stromboli is a bundle of meat and cheese rolled up in some pizza dough and baked until it rises. It's served with a small bowl of marinara sauce. And it was pretty darned good! It was $9.99 which isn't cheap but isn't bad either. I'll have to stop up there and try their spaghetti. read more

See all

I'd been wondering about Carsonie's for awhile. My fiancee had told me that we should eat there some time and then we went there last night for dinner. From the outside, the restaurant doesn't really look like much. Just a small building in the parking lot of a strip mall. But inside, Carsonie's was filled with small knick-knacks and Ohio State things. The menu was also filled with things to order! We started with an order of their garlic bread which was very good and we received excellent service the whole time. When it came time to order entree's, my fiancee had the ravioli and I ordered the baked penne. Both items came with side salads and bread. The baked penne was great! I plain to go back to Carsonie's sometime soon and also maybe try out the Upper Arlington location. read more

First, I'll start with the food which was between good and very good. The prices are fair and sizes are generous. Now, let's get to some real concerns. This is 2021 and we are all struggling through COVID-related issues. The state and city have mandated social distancing and masks in restaurants and stores. Even with that, we have consistently patronized local and national restaurants while choosing to pick up or have our food delivered. I ordered pick up on 02.25.21. I was told we would have a 25 minute wait. but it clocked in at a little over 45 minutes. Aside from that, there was minimal social distancing. Not only were patrons not wearing masks (which is of course allowed when drinking or eating) but so were staff. STAFF! This not acceptable in any way, shape or form and. I am very sad to share this information as I want to support businesses locally. I will never revisit this restaurant, which I say very begrudgingly as the food is pretty good. read more

I rarely leave Yelp reviews because every restaurant can have an off night, but unfortunately I think Carsonie's is starting to die off. My wife and I would always stop and get some of their Stromboli when we were in the area, but the last couple times the food has not been as good as it used to be. First, the "Ultimate Loaded Fries" had about 20 fries laying flat on a plate that had a palmful of cheese sprinkled over it with 5 pepperoni. It was neither ultimate or loaded. For $7.99, it was pretty underwhelming. When we put in our orders, we made sure they had down what we wanted in our food as the Stromboli is made to order, and it takes ~30 minutes to cook. My order came out wrong, and since it's made from scratch you can't just get a replacement quickly. Another dish that was ordered was the Chicken Carsonie. Usually the noodles have a decent amount of sauce on them, but this time it was maybe half to a quarter of what we've had in the past. Sad to see a restaurant that used to be great become a shadow of what it used to be. read more

Over priced and service was not good. Too few wait staff. Quality of food is mediocre at best.

Five stars for the Stromboli alone! Didn't try anything else. My parents brought this to our house for dinner along with 2 pizzas. I didn't try the pizza but it looked average (nothing special) but the Stromboli was out of the park! We have lived in Westerville for over a decade and never made it down to this place for whatever reason. This is the go to Stromboli place now. I might try something else but probably won't. Excellent! read more

Love their original Stromboli! Crispy crust loaded with cheese and sausage,, so yummy!

I'm giving this place a five star mostly because of the patio on Wednesday nights (weather permitting) they have a singer named Bill Foley who performs from 7-9. He plays everything and does it well. Go see him, you won't be disappointed. The only bad thing is they have regulars that go see him and the restaurant reserves tons of tables for them and it's hard to get a seat. I really think it should be first come for seating because they don't reserve tables for anyone else. The singer does move to the inside once the weather changes and performs same day and hours. Not sure how they do tables inside because I'm not a big fan of the inside only because it's kinda small, loud (talking) and always busy at dinner time. However it's a good sign that the food is good. The stramboli is my favorite and its awesome here but do allow extra time because it takes about 30 minutes for it to be baked fresh for you and order the large your going to want more. I recommend ordering appetizers or a salad to help with the wait. read more

Carsonie's - Stramboli is awesome here. - Pizza Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

Lived in the Westerville area for the absolute longest time and idk we never had the chance to dine here. My wife and I finally had the chance last night. We did. Not enjoy our experience last night . I ordered the Italian stallion with no banana peppers and of course it still came with it The breading was the only good thing about the sandwich but for cost of 9.99 it was definitely not worth what we paid for it. The Italian dressing was little too watered down and had a very bland taste to it. Monday's they have a hot wing special for .79 so we order 10 hot wings. The wings were overly pre blanched so however they re heated them ours came out microwave warm and very dry. No sauce btw... my wife's wedding soup was a overly beef stock and salty to the taste. My daughter ordered the chicken pasta it looked good but again no flavor at all. my wife order a Stromboli chicken mushrooms and chickened or something wasn't seasoned and it was very bland and even the sauce that comes with it literally tasted like watered down marinara... our waitress was polite but not very attentive and very welcoming read more

5.69 for the most pathetic salad and my Stromboli was raw inside. This place has no consistency. When it's good it is good, but you never know what you are going to get. They should be ashamed of themselves for the pricing of the Caesar side salad. read more

Carsonie's - Carsonie's $5.69 Caesar side salad. - Pizza Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

A real hometown favorite with a menu that you can't order the wrong thing. Cool OSU and store memorabilia. Friendly and helpful staff. The chicken parm with pasta is my favorite of all the times I've ordered it in many restaurants I've ordered it! read more

Met with some friends late at night and our server, Lisa was fantastic! The environment is a bit rundown and reminds me of a pub. They have a large outdoor patio area which is where we chose to sit because no one else was out there. I ordered the baslamic chicken salad and I added the candied walnuts from a different salad to it...it was delicious! The serving was huge and the bread that came on the side was equally as large. I had a side of marinara to dip m bread into and it had good flavor. Not my go-to spot necessarily but I would definitely come back to try a few other dishes since almost everything is made in-house. read more

Ordered through Doordash ...Stromboli with salad. No salad... I called and they said it's very busy and blamed it on a DoorDash. Did not offer anything to make this right. Will get money back in 7 days for salad. No more Carsonies! read more

I feel bad for only giving 2 stars because the food was actually really good. The service was absolutely HORRIBLE. I have no idea who our server was bc she never introduced herself. On the credit card receipt it said "Dawn" but anyone who has worked in food service knows that name doesn't mean it's hers. When she "greeted" us (which is a joke) she just came and said "what you want to drink." I was 1 of 4 people in my party (2 couples.) She clearly forgot to put in an appetizer order but said "it was coming". No apology, even though the other couple at my table got their appetizer in normal time. My appetizer was cheese bread. Why does that take 30 minutes to get?! She never admitted she forgot to put it in, never came back to check on us till we were almost completely done with our meal. Drink refills?? What a joke!! 10+ minutes to get a refill of WATER. I don't know what this lady's problem was with us. She was all about standing around and talking to "regular" customers. This was my first time in. This place will get my money again if i do not have to deal with this rude lady. Maybe i will only do take out. Sad thing is- as my group was leaving another table that had been sitting for 15+ minutes without being greeted approached "Dawn" to get her to notice them. I hope they got a different server. read more

We've been getting takeout from here for years. We always get the Stromboli (it's especially good for gatherings when you have them do a party style cut). We love the traditional and the chicken. Lately we've started getting the pizza. The only negative (for my big family) is that even their large pizza is a little small, however the crust is some of the best around and the ingredients are top notch. read more

Amazing strombolis, the best in central Ohio! Nice patio at Westerville location. Ma and pa feel. Their other food is decent too. I love the Italian fries. read more

I need a pizza joint in every town I live in... Something cozy, that has a quaint, family feeling... With great food-obviously. Carsonie's is my go-to. They have the best Stromboli. The pizza, loaded fries & house salads are delicious too. I've never been disappointed with anything I've gotten here. A true gem in Westerville. read more

We ate in Saturday 1/19/19 for the first time. (We have had take out several times) the service was wonderful. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant. It has a friendly feel. And the food! Amazing. We have tried several items. We had the loaded fries and the Italian fries for an appetizer while we waited for our Stromboli. Which was fantastic as always. Our waitress was super. read more

We ordered on Uber eats tonight. The food was good but we didn't get our salad. This was our first time ordering and we might not order again if food is going to be missing each time. read more

Great food!! My son LOVES the Stromboli and we do too! Staff was so nice when we came to pick up our order too. Great little spot!

Decent lunch buffet (Wednesday only) Pizza, Calzone, wings, salad and soup all very tasty and hot. service was good

They ruined our Father's Day dinner. Waited 1 hour 40 minutes to get food and when it arrived our order was completely wrong and cold. No manager was on duty and we found hair in the chicken parm. I suggest you not waste your time or your money. They were extremely rude and the waitress was horrible. She could not even answer simple questions such as "do you have seeds on your hamburger buns?" Save yourself! read more

Carsonies is always a positive experience. Whether you have an appetizer of hot wings followed by a side caeser salad in a chilled bowl with fresh parmigiana cheese or my Favorite entree Franks famous flat bread or pizza topped with olive oil,tomatoes , cheese and basil. My significant others favorite Is the spaghetti and meatballs . Meatballs made with real meat not fillers! The Stromboli is excellent I prefer the chicken with banana peppers. Not a bad item on the menu.. old time Italian food reasonable prices. read more

Ordered our meal last night, I ordered the hoagie with sausage and peppers it was kinda dry with no sauce on it,instead of fries I had ordered house salad (never received that). The wife ordered a meatball hoagie with no banana peppers guess what was it covered with. She said her fries were delicious. Overall not bad tasting meal but just double check your order going out the door. read more
