I am very particular about my pizza (and all Italian food for that matter), as I was raised in New Jersey where New York style pizza and authentic Italian restaurants are as prevalent as Spinx gas stations in the south. I had never heard of Elvino's and knew of no one who had ever been there. Plus, I am always skeptical of southern restaurants claiming to make NY style pizza. But... I had an Attractions book coupon, so I figured I'd give it a try! haha Well, I was pleasantly surprised! This was some of the best NY style pizza I've had in the south, and the pasta dishes were good enough that I would go back and order them again. We had the eggplant parmesan and linguini alfredo with chicken and broccoli - both delicious. The bread sticks were just ok and the side salad was pretty basic - just a tomato slice, red onion and olives, but both were free with the meal, so I couldn't really complain. Plus the Balsamic dressing was home made and excellent. All in all, I am happy to have found this little gem in the Publix parking lot and will definitely be back for more! *My rating is based on the take out food only - I couldn't really rate the restaurant itself since they are not open for sit down at the moment due to a shortage of workers. read more

Good Italian place with a nice menu variety. They have daily specials too which are usually good. Service is good as well.

Best shrimp scampi ever. Eggplant parmigiana is perfectly prepared. Good wine and beer selections. Cozy atmosphere. Friendly servers.

The service was good. Restaurant decor was fine. Food was awful. I ordered the chicken parm, and the chicken tasted exactly like frozen Purdue chicken patties. The shrimp in my husband shrimp fra diavolo also tasted frozen. It was our first time, and we won't go back. read more

Excellent Shrimp primavera is very tasty, however, a little dry. I really like their Shrip Scampi

Julia's chicken is our favorite! Also the home made Italian dessert pastry, but that may only be served on Saturday. Server's are friendly, attentive and go out of their way to please. We prefer to go on week nights or early on Saturday when the restaurant is more calm and quieter. read more

We love this business. The people are so nice and friendly. Our favorite is the Sicilian pizza. Delicious! Their regular pizza is a great New York style pizza you will love also. The menu is large and prices are good. Definitely would recommend you try it out. read more

This is the place for authentic NY pizza and everything else is good, too. We've been going here for years.

Not a bad place if you know what to expect. Ambiance is meh. authentic Italian dishes? You can tell by by the excessive menu choices that's not possible. I ordered an "Elvinos Stromboli" and got a nice calzone. I ordered a large Greek salad and got a pile of shredded iceburg lettuce with some feta on top. My wife ordered eggplant parm. with spaghetti. The serving size of the eggplant parm was smallish. The spaghetti was al dente as it should be. Tasty sauce. We saw the pizza, and it looks amazing! My advice? Come for the pizza and anything else with a crust on it (don't expect to get stromboli, I don't think they know what that is).The mushrooms come from a can, so maybe stick to meats on your pie. This is not the place for salads and veggie dishes. read more

We were immediately sat at a table for lunch. There were two other couples in the restaurant at the time. We placed our order and two more tables sat down afterwards. We both ordered their lunch special which was two slices and a drink. As we waited the other two tables that came in after us received their food. No one came by to check on us so we flagged the server down. Apparently, our food was delivered to one of the other tables which they ate! Very disappointed in the service and when we did receive our slices they were cold read more

Several levels below Olive Garden. Below average food, terrible service and they still have their Covid barriers up at the hostess stand and between the nasty booths. First and last time. We need a great Italian restaurant in Travelers Rest. read more

Saw this place & my partner & I stopped in for a pizza. Service was very quick and the servers were on top of their game! The restaurant is spotless with a nice ambiance! Our pizza was made exactly as we asked it to be made and the crust was delicious & crisp-just the way we like it! The ingredients were very tasty! So glad we found this so close to home-prices are reasonable also!! We met the owner & had a very nice chat with her-she made us feel like old friends! We'll be going back there soon!! read more

Amazing pizza. The waitress was friendly, personable and attentive. We had the NY white pizza with sausage and the Sicilian BBQ chicken. Both were simply amazing! You can customize your pizza any way you want it. The only feedback I will give somewhat negative is that it was our first time there so we assumed the waitress would come back for the check like a typical restaurant but it took us a good while to figure out we had to go to the front. Maybe the owner doesn't want them messing with money but that's a little inconvenient. For me, the food and service outweighed that small con. Oh they also don't sell side salads, I really wish they did but we ended up buying a Caesar salad and splitting it. read more

Its a red sauce pizza joint. Try the pizza by the slice - its nice and crisp. Solid pizza. The pasta isnt bad either.

The pizza is pretty good, the service tends to be quite slow. Nice people, short on help.

Recently ordered the eggplant Parmesan sub to go. It tasted pretty good, but I was shocked by the size of it. Apparently, this business has been affected by shrinkflation. It looked like a half of a sub sandwich at 6 inches (if that). Very disappointing. read more

Great place for pizza and beer! The pasta dishes are also quite good. They have had some issues either building being remodeled so it was hard to see from the street. However it is a great locally owned restaurant and is worth supporting. read more

The bake the perfect pizza for me. Well Done, Crispy pizza, just like the way I like it back home. read more

As one of the better-rated Italian restaurants in Greenville, I was eager to give Elvino's a try. The service was decent, if unremarkable. The salad was fresh and had a good mix of olives and pepperoncini, along with the usual fare. The bread sticks were also good, but I would have preferred to have the butter & garlic sauce on the side. For my entrée, I decided on the Ziti Bolognese. It was served in a delicious pink sauce, both creamy and pleasantly tangy. The dish also contained sausage and chopped tomato, which provided an excellent balance of texture and flavor. Had they melted a layer of mozzarella over the top, this would be a five-star review. Nonetheless, it was very well done and I would definitely order it again. I always enjoy my visits to Greenville, and Elvino's gives me another reason to return. Highly recommended. read more

This is a good, family run business. We were here just before Christmas with our large family. We were seated right away and although we had to wait a bit for food, it was to be expected because of the size of our party. The food was delicious and a good value. My husband and I have 3 teens, so we split 2 pizzas and there was plenty. read more

They have great pizza and Italian food!!! They are a bit short handed so let be offer my services.

The positive stuff- Very clean, staff friendly and food delivered in a timely manner. I was very excited to try this Pizza spot as I am a fan of NY style pizza. On the other side- Food looks appealing and is cooked well but the flavor and seasonings need a huge boost. Overall just very bland. The marinara sauce is flat, I added garlic salt, salt and pepper to make is tasty. The all meat pizza looked decent but the sauce was very basic and the only flavor comes from the meats which is faint. Wife had the lasagna which looks standard and lacked depth if the cheese inside. Hopefully, they can step up the seasoning game or perhaps will be better on next visit. I'm pulling for you. read more

Really like their pizza's & calzones. Usually get takeout. Will be ordering from them soon.

This restaurant is the same as the old Tito's. Tito's got sold and it is aweful. Go to Elvino's. You will happy you did!

Food was fantastic. Service was a little slow. The restaurant was clean everyone was nice. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Pizza is so good! We got the Elvino's Special and the crust is thin and chewy. The toppings were generous. Greek salad was a perfect side. They have some construction going on outside their building- I hope this isn't affecting business too much. I'll continue to support them! read more

Sometimes with certain restaurants, you may so happen to go in on a good day and will be disappointed with returning visits, meaning that your first--and best--visit was a fluke. I was sincerely hoping that that wasn't the case with Elvino's, which is why I had to make multiple trips in the area in the past couple of weeks to ensure that the service I was receiving and the quality of the food was indeed genuine. With excellent customer service and high-quality food, I was astonished to see how consistently well everything had been with each visit. I quickly found myself becoming a regular there, not being able to point out a single flaw in this place. The owner is always happy and in a great mood, interacting with customers ensuring that their time at Elvino's is not only enjoyable but will leave a lasting impression on their customers. The staff always gives it their best, and you can really tell they put their heart and soul onto the plate. Attached are some photos of what I've recently tried, and I am proud to say that I've enjoyed every single last bite of it. While one would be politically correct to say that in one of the pictures is a slice of pizza, I would have to say that it's actually a slice of heaven. You can never go wrong with meat lovers; Elvino's manages to continue delivering that wow factor. Like I said in my previous review, if you're ever in the area and craving Italian, Elvino's is the way to go! read more

We picked up our call in dinner which consisted of a Meat Lovers Pizza and large salad with Italian dressing. The pizza was average with nothing being remarkable. The salad was unacceptable as it had slivers of iceberg lettuce possibly appropriate as lettuce on a sandwich but not as expected in a salad. There were a few olive and onion slices, but this did not add up to a large salad priced at $7.50. All in all, a very disappointing meal. We will not return to Elvino's! read more

Pizza is good. Not excellent but not bad. But their Philly Cheese Steak subs need some work. So incredibly bland. Ugh!

I previously gave them a negative review a few years ago because I was unimpressed by their sandwiches, but on two occasions within the last year I have had their pizza- and it is quite excellent. read more

Attended for lunch w/ 6 friends. All ordered different items and all were perfect and tasty. All seven of us needed separate checks which was done perfectly (with a portable card reader). They put us in an alcove so we could chat amongst ourselves. Very comfortable and the food was very reasonably priced. All were pleased. read more

Large menu divided in to many sections: hot subs, pizza, traditional pasta, chicken pasta, seafood pasta, etc. Small bar menu with a handful of domestics and one craft both on draft and bottled. We started with the caprese salad. It was a large portion, fresh, and tasty. For dinner, I had the pasta primavera with chicken and he had the ziti bolognese. Both came with house side salads and breadsticks, both of which were okay. The pasta primavera was a large portion. It was also okay, but overall nothing special. His ziti bolognese was delicious.. The creamy red sauce and the meat were full of yummy spice. For dessert we split a cannoli, delicious as expected. Our server was friendly and attentive, and there was no wait for a party of 2 at 7 p.m. on a Friday. Overall a decent Italian meal for a good price. We will likely be back. read more

This quaint restaurant has tasty pizza, is very clean, and has friendly service. The service for us, made our experience excellent. Aiden was bubbly and friendly and even stuck her head out to say bye after we had exited the restaurant. That very much exceeded our expectations! I recommend trying this very reasonably priced spot on your next visit to northern Greenville. read more

Excellent and outstanding food! This is a locally owned Italian Restaurant. The staff is friendly and always happy to see us. The Chicken Parmesan is delicious. I also really enjoy their spaghetti and meatballs. Pizza is great! They also have Gluten sensitive menu items. Check it out! Do t be discouraged by the Construction. They are there and ready to serve you! read more

I ordered the pizza margarita and a glass of Chianti and was happy with my meal. There are three sizes of pizza 14" 16" and 18". The prices are comparable to other pizzerias. We were seated at a booth in the bar area. The bar could use a little more character. I imagine after awhile the owner will personalize it especially because it is not a full bar (beer and wine only). The staff made sure we were taken care of, well enough, but I do not like having to pay the check at the cash register. read more

My third time back since finding a new place for Italian. Pizza both times was really good! Flavor of the crust was just right and I liked the ingredients in the "deluxe" pizza...fresh and delicious. Previous visit, I tried the low carb chicken dish. Yumm! Owner and wait staff all super nice and attentive. Impressed that the waiter remembered my drink order on the second visit. Good food. Good service. Easy parking. Can't beat it! read more

Once again Elvinos has let me down. Went there today and got a Stromboli to go. I asked for no olives and guess what? It has olives. Why bother to pretend that I'm going to get what I ordered. Tell me they can't do it without olives and I would have picked something else read more

All of the food I've had here has been delicious! The pizza is easily the best I've had in SC, and is up there with the best I've had overall. The crust is spot on. It reminds me of the pizza I grew up with in NJ. The folks making the pizza here do a great job and they should keep up the good work! The other items I've had have also been great! The staff is friendly and service has always been good. Elvino's is well worth a try! If you like NY style pizza and pizzeria style Italian food, you won't be disappointed! read more
