    Had to try the new Evangelo Express ! Very cute inside. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Ordered two pizza's for pick up and they were ready when we arrived and were nice and hot!

    Average food - pizza was too cheesy and pasta was too greasy. Ambience is good for wasilla and service is quick for a fine dine restaurant.

    Quiet, dark, fancy the ambiance was very old school Italian. Service was promoted very nice and respectful. For a party of 8 we did not wait long to be seated. Our appetizers were delicious. The serving size for just the lunch menu was more than enough to share.

    Super good pizza! The pizza crust was crispy but fluffy, a good amount of cheese, and not too greasy. Very expensive for pizza and 45 minutes is quite a wait for two pizzas.

    Evangelo's in Palmer is absolutely worth the drive from Anchorage especially for their seafood arabiata, it's that good! The dish is one of my favorites packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice. I also tried their chicken wings tossed in buffalo sauce and crab arthichoke dip with bruschetta bread for appetizer they were excellent too. The friendly and attentive staff make the whole experience even better. Whether you're a local or driving in Evangelo's is a solid spot for delicious food and warm service!

    First visit for us as a couple as we celebrate a belated anniversary (57th) and Valentine's Day. My wife had been one time before with our oldest son before we moved to the Valley. She had been nagging me to bring her back because she enjoyed her meal. They had a Special Valentine's Day Celebration menu with dinner and Special Cocktails. My wife chose the 9oz Filet Mignon from the Valentines menu and I choose the Seafood Arabitta from the regular dinner menu. We started with the stuffed mushrooms appetizer with white wine cream sauce stuffed with lobster and crab. There were six covered in the sauce. They tasted amazing and may be the best I have ever had. The filling was flavorful and just the right consistency. The filling was full of the seafood with just enough binder to have a light flavor but didn't overwhelm the sauce. My wife chose a dinner salad with oil and red wine vinegar. The salad was ample with fresh lettuce, onions, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber slices and black olives. The dressing came in a carrier so she could add as much or as little to her taste. I had a cup of the house minestrone soup which was served hot, well prepared and tasty. It has generous portions of vegetables, white and kidney beans, and pasta that was partially blended and simmered until the flavors blended. It was appropriately spiced expertly done. My wife's dinner entree had a filet cooked medium rare and seasoned. It was tender and juicy. It was accompanied by a large baked potato seasoned with butter and sour cream in packets. On top of the filet was a portion of well cooked and seasoned asparagus. Additionally it included steamed cauliflower, carrots and broccoli. All the vegetables were cooked very well and tasty. My seafood pasta dish came in a pasta bowl covered with sauce and containing fettuccine, several large shrimp, large scallops and fresh mushrooms and a side of garlic bread. The pasta and sauce were well cooked and seasoned and spicy. The menu warned that two of the dinners were hot and spicy. I found it moderately spicy but the waitress had brought jars of crushed red pepper and cheese to add as you desired. The fettuccine was cooked to perfection and 18" long. I found that even with the spoon provided it was difficult to twill in mouthfuls and ended up cutting it my knife. That's not a criticism or bad thing but a sign of excellent pasta possibly house made. It was very good. Another plus is the shrimp were larger than normally found in such dishes and tailless. I dislike when the shrimp have tails on and you have to try to remove the sauce covered shrimp before eating. The difference in price and quality between tail-on shrimp and tail-off is minimal for avoiding the messy removal in a cooked dish. Also both the Shrimp and Sea Scallops were large enough that I had to cut them with my knife to make a reasonable fork full width the pasta. I don't remember ever having to do that before so it of the highest compliment I can give to this restaurant and Chef. Overall everything that we were served tonight was of excellent quality, flavor, quantity and preparation. It was equal to the outstanding service by Heidi W and her male assistant. We seated by a hostess and very shortly greeted by our waitress Heidi. She was friendly and helpful and offered our drinks which she promptly served after she brought us ice water. She took our appetizer and dinners orders. From the point she served or water and drinks our glasses were never empty. She repeated observed our glasses and promptly asked if we wanted refills. She served our appetizer, then our soup and salad just as we finished the appetizer. When we finished our soup and salad she promptly served our main course. Between each course our dishes were cleared and condiments changed. When we showed signs of being full her assistant asked if we needed go boxes and then offered to take our plates and return with the filled boxes and a bag to carry them in without our asking. I can only evaluate our wait staff as outstanding and the best I have had in several years. I know this evaluation is long but I feel that I had to give as good an evaluation as the service and food earned. I have eaten in a few five star restaurants around the world in my fifty years of travel but never expected this quality in Wasilla, AK. There are very few restaurants in Alaska that compare to here. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants an outstanding experience at a reasonable moderate price. They accept reservations and I would recommend them on weekends and holidays. Allow you can be accommodated without them. They have a large dining area and parking lot. Full bar, wine take out service and especially for take out of their pizza which we observed several being picked up. Sadly they do not offer a senior or military discount but that is not unusual for restaurants of this quality.

    EDIT- upped to five stars because I tried the pizza. Moose's Tooth who????…read more Also - the gochujang wings were excellent. Not too spicy!! Best chicken wing I've ever had. Yes, I got wings at a wood fire pizza place - and boy, am I glad I did. We did the garlic Parmesan and the sweet heat wings. I don't know what magic they do to get the skin so crispy and bubbly, but I'm happy they figured it out! It's like popcorn, so light and airy. And even sauced, the crispy texture didn't end! We took half our wings home to Anchorage and even after the microwave a few hours later - still crispy. We also shared a Greek salad that was delicious, fully loaded, and so big we both ate off it and still had leftovers!!!

    Driving around all day and it was starting to get late....and we were getting hungry! We asked a…read morelocal at one of the museums where he loved to eat and he recommended this place. We told him that we just wanted good food with a chill, laid-back vibe where we could just eat and hang without being pressured to leave quickly. We stopped by and it was busy. Parking is right in the front and lots of spaces available. There was indoor and outdoor tables and luckily we found a booth. The menu is simple and straight forward. You place your order first and then take a seat. My friend and I decided to share a pizza, we couldn't decide and we got half and half, Pear bacon bleu and Greek. I also ordered a ginger ale. So I don't know why my friend decided to share a pizza with me, maybe we were both tired, or she was sooo hungry that she couldn't make any other choice but it was surprising because pizza is not really her thing. When we were ordering, I didn't think anything of it, but as we were eating and basically almost done she said, "You know what, I would come back and have their pizza, that was the best pizza ever!!" No argument from me...both half of the pizzas were so good. It was the right combo. The pear bacon bleu was almost like a dessert pizza but still very savory with the bacon bits. We were both hungry and the pizza size was perfect and filled us both. I never did ask, but do they make their own ginger ale? It didn't taste like any other of the Ginger ales that I've had in other places. This was flavorful and very carbonated. The whole meal was perfect! Wood fired pizzas are something special since not a lot of places make pizzas this way but even better when done right. I highly recommend this place!

Leo's Döner Kebab and Pizzaria is awesome! They are located at 1450 Creste Foris St E, Wasilla. Walking in, it's warm, friendly and welcoming. I tried the Döner Kebab Salad with Chicken ($19), a side of Falafels ($7) and a White Peach Italian soda ($5). The Italian soda was really good. I think the white peach is my new favorite flavor. It was recommended by one of the owners. The Salad was really good too! I ordered chicken, but initially received Lamb. They let me keep the salad and they made a second one with chicken. I am not usually a lamb person, but I did taste the lamb and it was so good! It's seasoned perfectly. When the chicken salad came out, that was awesome too! I do not know how they marinate it, but it was awesome! The salads came with their house made tzatziki and samurai sauce. The Tzatziki had a perfect balance of creamy and tangy. The samurai sauce had a small kick to it, and it was very good. They both mixed well together for dressing. Now on to the Falafel. The star of the evening! I have had many falafels around the world, and this is one of the best falafels I have had in Alaska. It is not dried out as many places overcook them. It's seasoned very well and pairs with the tzatziki perfectly. I love lemon, and you can taste the lemon in there, but it's not overpowering. It's perfectly crispy on the outside, and the perfect soft texture on the inside. While I was inhaling the great food, I learned that they make almost everything in house including the pizza crusts for the pizza. I look forward to trying that next time I am in town. This was a great foodie experience and a must try when you're in Wasilla!
