Amazing pizza. Large portions. Ok service. We went as a large group after volunteering nearby @ SnowCap so I expected service to not be great. The pizza though was phenomenal. It reminds me of this place back home that we used to get as a kid. Quality toppings and a load of them. The chicken they put on the pizza is breaded chicken and oh so good. Also if you get the garlic bread, get the white cream sauce for dipping. A must. You can also make your own pizza which I liked. We did half combo and half make your own. So good. Pack your appetite they definitely don't skimp on portions. You almost need another plate for your plate! read more

I'd driven by this place 100 times and never tried it out until this day. I came in on a Saturday around 3pm for a little lunch. I came in through the lounge area which had TVs on every wall with sports on all of them which was great! The super kind waitress/bartender suggested the chicken parmigiana and a side of spaghetti. I trusted her and was disappointed with my order. The spaghetti was great, the bread it came with was ok but the chicken Parmesan was not good. I started on one end of the side dish it came in and it was burnt, had no flavor and reminded me of something that was made last week and just heated up in the microwave. I attempted to eat half of the dish hoping that the middle would be better to no avail. The total cost of this was originally 15 dollars but the was comped 6 bucks my the waitress making it 9 bucks for a side salad and spaghetti. I'd be willing to go back another time down the road but not going to order the chicken Parmesan again. read more

Giuseppe's - Chicken Parmesan, spaghetti and bread for lunch. Chicken Parmesan was terrible, will never order that again. Tasted microwaved. - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

It was our second time eating at Giuseppe's. Both times we found the service amazing and the food marginal. Regardless, it does seem to have a good following of regulars. read more

Wonderful staff, clean spot, stiff drinks, and great American-Italian. It is not AVA GENE'S, but it makes olive garden look silly... Great prices on all your favorites - ravioli, chicken parm, spaghetti - you get the picture. Order tge Pigs In a Blanket. It's a plate of fresh bread, sliced Italian sausage, and a bowl of bolognese to dip it in. If you're looking for a fancy dinner this isn't your place, but if you want to spend $50 on dinner for 2 with good drinks, stop in! read more

It's an average place for lunch in a regular week day . Food menu it's boring, the place is like a big maze

First time there and let me say. From the start friendly staff. Got a table pretty quick. Took a few minutes for the waiter to come up and help us but he was friendly and at the same time seemed really jumpy and fast to leave . We got a small pizza which is 14 inches and that's a big pizza. Seeing that dominos 14 is a large. Pizza was great and the wings were awesome . And honestly the prices aren't that bad. Think about it a pizza joint charges you about the same . But here you get fresh cheese pizza , and the food came out in less then 10 minutes . Definitely coming back. read more

Has always been excellent except for this time. I travelled over 45 min from battleground to get there just to get 2 large pizzas then ended up being very greasy. The pizza was very thick dough that was soggie and oily. Was good in the past but this time I completely wasted over 50 dollars on very disappointing pizza. Not worth the 45 min drive to take it back otherwise I would have. I understand things are hard with covid 19 but they are hard for me as well, I just wanted to treat my family to a nice pizza dinner but that's not what my hard earned cash bought me read more

We just got back from Italy, and ALREADY CRAVING some good Italian foods! Had lunch at Guiseppe's Italian Restaurant and Lounge last Sunday. We ordered typical Italian American food: spaghetti with meat sauce, spaghetti with meatballs, minestrone soup, and a tossed salad. What arrived at our table was pretty much as expected - the food was a bit spicier specially the dressing than we prefer, but still very good. The portions were large enough to take home for another meal - so we had two meals for the price of one! The service staff was young and very smiley and friendly and listens to us. She was talking about going to French, and she looks like a she should be working @ a FRENCH restaurant & I told her so, instead of one Italian Restaurant, but she said there weren't many of those here. The restrooms were first class - new and clean. All in all, a delightful and inexpensive meal. BTW: We were talking about Italian foods, and in Italy, they fed us enough YOU DON'T NEED a doggy bag! Now back in the states, we always ask for a doggy bag. If restaurants give smaller portions, Americans would complain! LOL Also, we were listening to 70's music in the background, and we thought . . . . this is Italian, why no Italian music? But we dined in Italy, and they were playing ELVIS! We're back in the USA! So, I won't whine about the music here. Why the 1 negative star? In ALL ITALIAN restaurants in Italy, they ALWAYS have olive oil & balsamic vinegar on each table, just as you'd find Soy Sauce in Chinese restaurants! None here, I have to ask for them, so I can dip my warm bread! I've eaten here before. They also do not have a room for banquets. read more

We went early (3pm) and restaurant was empty. Great staff and food was good. The music drove us crazy...kinda punk rock. Could have better atmosphere for an Italian restaurant. read more

No one wearing masks! Love this place but won't be going back. If someone is passing out food to you or taking money then they should have masks on! read more

Let me start by informing you that this place has excellent service. All the drinks are strong, and well mixed. No steak or burgers here, pizza pasta and a much much more. Most of the employees have been working here for years. The owners are extremely friendly and display a great amount of pride in this medium sized joint. You can find 9 large flat screen tvs always set to major sporting channels. Pizza pizza pizza. The dough is made in house. Please do yourself a favor, order a BLT pizza and a tealisosh. You will experience true ecstasy in your mouth. Five star service and five star food. read more

Giuseppe's - The Tea Lishoush. No longer on the menu. Only the regulars know about it. Now you do too. - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Fantastic pizza, I got the fettuccine Giuseppe with shrimp this time I got it on a plate which was odd for me the taste was good but it was way to much sauce. I felt like I could have gotten more noodles for how much I actually spend on it. read more

tried this place again. got the linguine with clams in white sauce and it came doused in alfredo! isn't that linguini with alfredo and clams? read more

Giuseppe's - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Been going here for 30+ years. Food's always been good great service. It's a family friendly restaurant.

The pizza is amazing!!! So much pepperoni! The alfredo sauce is delicious. The chicken parmesan was a little to smothered in alfredo sauce and cheese for me, but my husband liked it. By far our favorite pizza in the area. Update: Consistent quality is becoming a problem. The Alfredo sauce has been water thin a couple times now, and when we order larger sized pizzas ($$), they don't seem to be prepared with as much care (way to much sauce and cheese) and not cooked enough (the centers are still almost doughy it's so chewy, no one would eat the ends of the slices and the toppings would slide right off). Also when you call to let them know they don't seem to concerned about it and don't offer to do anything to make the situation better(at least the people I have spoken with). read more

Been going to this place since I was 3 (1990) it's been a family tradition for all of us to eat here. The food has only improved over the last 30 years including the service. The waitress working on Saturday as well as hostess are freakin amazing always willing to ensure the experience is wonderful. Portions are amazing kid u not the pizza is the size of the whole table. Will be continuing to come for many generations to come. With my son being the fourth generation read more

Pizza was huge disappointment overpriced under cooked inedible overall I'd give it 0 stars if I could

Great food. Was in town for work during the dine in shutdown. The staff was super friendly and food was always quick and hot. Great price and can't wait to go back. read more

This place is supposed to have reputation of good portion sizes. I've been coming her for years and it has definitely changed. Shitty SMALL portions and when I asked about id got some bullshit excuse of a dishwasher quitting on Father's Day, which was weeks ago The Alfredo sauce was runny and in no way comparable to what I've had in the past. You change your portion sizes but the price is no different. If this is the way you choose to do business I will never come back and will tell everyone I know how shitty you have become. No to mention a sever named Beth that had nothing but a bad attitude when asked about the portions. Seriously disappointed. I hope this is a one time fuck up and no how you continue to do business. If it is, sell it to someone who cares and get out of the restaurant business because you have no place in it. I expect a compensation for my very shitty experience. read more

It's always hard to write these kind of reviews. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Giuseppe. They have mastered the recipe for success for them, and it would be mean spirited to compare them to anybody else, and you just can't argue with success in a difficult and demanding business. I came in for lunch after working on a project at the library next door where I can check out Chromebooks (those are some slick little laptops, one I hope to buy soon). Having been raised in a family business, I see success through different eyes such as in a brand spanking new parking lot, and this is great curb appeal. The interior is dated, old school, but immaculately clean everywhere. Their staff members are all nicely dressed, polite, and friendly. Your takeout order or getting you seated is taken care of rapidly. Same with taking orders, getting your order to you in the correct way, and being sure the food is piping hot. I ordered spaghetti from the senior citizen's menu in order to get an appropriate portion Someone mentioned very large portions in another review, and I had to walk home already carrying a bag of checked-out books. Carrying leftovers would be tricky. The food was tasty (soup, garlic bread, antipasto plate, spaghetti, and spumoni ice cream) and what I've always called "spaghetti dinner" food, both comforting and delicious, and so like the food I've gotten at St. Rita's Catholic Church here in Portland during their spaghetti dinners. Giuseppe has a tried and true recipe for success. If you go to eat there with the expectations I've described, you too will find your own recipe for success. read more

Oh my word! This is by far the best sauce, toppings and crust in all of portland metro area. We've tried almost every pizza in Portland metro. Highly recommend. read more

Giuseppe's - To die for!!! - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Giuseppeeeeeeeee! where have you been my whole life?! Best. Pizza. Ever. so good. so cheesy. amazing toppings. You just can't go wrong here. Family owned since 1982 you can tell that people just love this place. Sit in or order a pizza for take-out. The place is huge. It also can get crowded on big nights like a Friday. Plan accordingly. You can get all kinds of pasta here. Spaghetti- with or without meatballs, lasagna, Alfredo pasta. House made gnocchi. Chicken parmesan. All of the staples are here. The thing is though....the pizza is what people really come here for! We had a large between two people. It was huge. I think we ate the rest for two more days after we took it home. Price was great too. Somewhere around $21. Sausage, mushroom, and garlic. MMMMmmmm. They load up the cheese on the pizzas. Stringy and messy. Yum Yum. Caesar salad was decent. They also had antipasto and some other salad choices to start you off. Bring the family here. 4 or 5 people for pizza and a salad, soda for the kids, and maybe a cocktail for the misses, could run you about $45. Very reasonable. read more

Stopped here on a saturday afternoon and ordered some fettuccini and some chicken parmigiana to go. To go is not the way to go here. Is this place under new ownership? By the time I got home i realized that I was missing anti pasta and 2 containers of soup. What i got was fettuccini with clumps of cheese, great parmigiana, one salad with no dressing for $42. This place used to be so great! I am so disappointed. read more

Horrible service, entered with a group of buddies to enjoy a nice warming meal after being seated. But was met with no acknowledgment or even a hydrating water to cleanse my thirst. 2 parties arrived after us being seated and both parties had their drinks and food order placed in before even a simple "hi" from staff. As we attempted to walk out of the restaurant, the waitress looked at us with a smirk appearing to be satisfied with our exit. i would give this place 0 stars but am required to give a minimum of 1 star. read more

The food is oily and bland. It should have 3 $ or more. Quite expensive for how gross the food is. Went with a large party. Had reservations and still did not get seated till an hour after that. Seemed as though the pepper and onion made up the so called minestrone soup and cheese and oil made up the pasta dishes. Made us sick all night. Will never return. We literally flushed over $80 down the toilet. The $80 plus was only 3 of us eating what a waste of money. read more

We were seated with nothing but food menus, no water, no wine list and waited almost 10 min for someone to come by. The Fettucine Alfredo had no taste. The staff Break table was on the other side of a short wall from where we were sitting , and they were laughing and talking, even swearing, as if they were in a private room- so loud!! After dinner, the waitress read the dessert options to us, saying "vanilla, strawberry and some kind of caramel crunch situation " for the Ice cream choices. Way to sell it. read more

Way to much cheese, dry chicken and not sure what the bread is but not garlic. The cheese plate with meat was ok, so if it's not cooked I'd recommend it but the actual food, well plaid pantry may have better food. read more

Have been going to this family restaurant for many years. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and pleasant Atmosphere.

Update. I guess the chicken Alfredo was for my neighbor and when I was at his house talking about what we received a few days later it was quite entertaining for me but not them since they didnt get there dinner. It was Door Dash that caused the issue. read more

We use to come here at least once a month but over the past year the quality of the food has gone downhill it taste like canned pasta sauce the ravioli were under cook and the chicken was like eating a rubber duck. the portion were fair sized but not worth the price. The meat calzone we got was brunt and had very little in fillings. The staff was rude and acted disappointed that they had to be there we thought that coming in at 3:30 we would get great service boy were we ever wrong are meal for the four of us cost 96 dollars we did however leave a 2 dollar tip and that was even to generous for what we received we will not be back. read more

I've been eating here for 25 years and it's still my favorite Italian restaurant. Portions are great, food is absolutely the best. Love their soup, spaghetti, rigatoni and out of this world pizza. Olive garden is no comparison to them. This is the best. You'll se me for another 25 years. read more

Ordered via Postmates. While the order was correct, this is the worst tasting food of any sort I've had in months. The white sauce in the mushroom ravioli is literally warmed up cream of mushroom soup. The chicken in marsala wine sauce is garbage. At least we have garlic bread and soup. The prices are outrageous for this level of quality. I urge you to spend your money elsewhere. read more

Love their food, especially fettuccini. But if you order a pizza with any veggies other than mushrooms or olives, make sure to ask them to cook them. Just picked up a large pizza covered in raw white onions! Ridiculous! Called and was told that's how it comes....shitty. read more

google to see what time they close..9pm get there at 8:22pm to be exact and am told nope kitchens closed at 830 no dine in..kid didnt want to seat us but was kind enough to let us order take out..exreamly disappointed in the customer service on this visit..place is still great food just sad that they all wanna be closed and out the door at 9..my suggestion get ahold of google and tell em you close at 8 if ur staff wants to be home by 9 read more

Not worth $20.65 for one plate of Gnoccies. Salad comes from a bag and the dressing is watered down. Even the antipasta was not good. I only go there 'cause the wife misses NY and all the great italian food. Save yourself some money and go elsewhere. Its obvious that the owners dont care anymore. Probably retired? Well maybe its time to shut it down. Back in the 90's a plate of Gnoccs was $7+ dollars and the grandma used to make it. Kinda reminds me of how Ptown has steadily gone down hill since the 90's. Its really sad. read more

This is a charming Italian/pizza place that has great food. The cheesy garlic bread is amazing (I order a full loaf with their house-made ranch on the side for my family). I also get their meat pizza which is pretty good. Having never had a bad experience here both food and service wise, I'd suggest it to anybody. I've been coming here since I was a kid and it doesn't disappoint. read more

Ya know, I gotta tell ya: if you want a piping hot dish of pasta, smothered in a Wise Guy covering layer of formaggio - and you don't feel like bothering with a drive downtown - this is your stop. Giuseppe's has been discounted because it sits in the heart of Rockwood, butbthis is good, hearty Italian-American yummy! read more

We asked for our waitress not to let our pizza sit we like it nice and hot. She was not busy at all and brought it out barely warm. And asked for more pop and it took 3 times to get it. the tables all set un bussed the whole time we set their. I love this place. But I was very disappointed. read more

Oh I have wanted to try this place forever!!! The food was amazing and the service was outstanding! We so recommend this great place! Servings was so big we brought food home!!! read more

The pizza is .... pretty much terrible. The dough is a thoughtless bready and forgettable gut-bomb - not properly proofed, risen, aged. The toppings (pepperoni and black olives in our case) combined with cheese made for a greasy mess that soaked the bottom of the box. Perhaps they don't give their lunch time recipes the attn they deserve?? Maybe not one of their specialty items?? You would do better with a $5 frozen pizza from Freddies - use the savings to buy a nice OR pinot noir to go with your frozen pie... read more
