I've honestly been ordering tons from this Resturant on DoorDash for the past 3-4 years now. I've never had an issue with my order even when I place it for pick up. Customer service is great and the food is too. My go-to is the veggie delight calzone. So simple yet so flavorful. Their pizza, wings and salad are also delish. We love the affordable pricing too. Couldn't rave about this place enough. Give it a try! Thank yall :) read more

Got delivery from them on a Saturday night and it was a great experience! I called an hour and a half in advance and was able to pay over the phone and schedule a delivery. Their driver arrived on time and had no trouble finding my residence. The pizzas were tasty, we got the Margarita, Garlic Chicken and the Deluxe. We will definitely order again especially with the delivery option being so easy! read more

I had first tried this place 25 years ago. They used to deliver to my apartment down the street from them. I moved away but moved back to the area and was happy to see that they're still around. Though not a fancy place, the food is 5 stars. Pasta dishes are unique, and their garlic bread is fantastically toasty! Glad I came back! read more

What a great place! Probably Tustin best kept secret! My husband stopped in for a quick bite to eat. The food was delicious. Everything was fresh and made to order. Serving amount was very good. The owner was so nice and made us feel at home. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Italian Express - Tustin, CA- 2/13/26 I've had several things from their menu over the last few days (always delivery) Smooth and fast delivery pizza was excellent, and they include extra Parmesan. Good job. read more

I stopped at this place for lunch on my way home from the doctor. I ordered a lunch special it came with a salad bar not real impressive and l had the rigatoni. The sauce was bland and tasteless not much cheese and no bread I asked for a slice of bread and was told l needed to buy the whole loaf for an extra $3. So many other great choices in Tustin for Italian food This place was very disappointing read more

Our favorite pizza place near us. High quality, surprised it's not as busy as it should be considering how good it is. Price is great too.

I ordered and pre-paid for 2 jumbo pizzas for a class party with more than 24 hours notice. When I arrived to pick them up they hadn't even started them. The three kids working the front were standing around chatting and the restaurant was completely empty. The cashier said "Oops, sorry. We can make them right now." They were able to get them done within about 20 minutes, but it made me late with the food to my event. Even though their jumbo size is convenient, I'd rather order more pizzas from Valentino's and actually get them on time with way better customer service. read more

The counter guy was nice. But the food was terrible. We ordered Mama Mia special. Bread was inedible, chicken was rubbery, very light sauce. read more

This place was a bit disappointing with its portion size. The taste of the pasta was good, but I just wish it was bigger for the price point. I was hoping the bread would be better too. read more

Italian Express - P6. Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken - Italian Near Me - Tustin, California

Ordered via delivery, appreciated their accuracy. Perfectly adequate Italian food. Pizza toppings were scarce and definitely cooked on a conveyor belt. Not our favorite by far. The Mama Mia special was dry; definitely needed more sauce. The Greek salad was fine. Overall, okay but we would try elsewhere in the future. read more

I haven't gone to this restaurant for a lot of year, so I tried it again and just like before the food was great! Also, the people were great. The delivery guy was so fun came in smiling and laughing (we're primarily a Weight Loss Center) I know that I will be back. Thank you!!! Med Aestheics read more

Excellent in every way. Easy ordering online and the quickest made pizza in the city. HIGHLY recommend. Ingredients are fresh and plentiful and the crust is perfect. Best pizza in town. read more

In case you're looking for a different place for a quick lunch, I just picked up a toasted turkey sub from Italian Express on Irvine Blvd (between Newport and Holt) with a very good salad bar and soft drink - all for $11.50 plus tax. Italian Express is one of my favorite local Italian pizza restaurants. Great local owners and friendly staff. Good seating area, easy parking, quick service. read more

I can see why Italian Express has been a staple of the community for so long. Their food is great. We ordered the pesto chicken pasta for pick up, and when we got it home, the past was still piping hot. The portions were quite big and was enough to feed two of us and then some. With large chunks of chicken and a tasty pesto sauce, what's not to like. The workers are friendly and welcoming. Plenty of seating if you come and dine in, with a robust menu of different items like pasta, sandwiches, and pizzas. We will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu read more

Been coming here religiously over the last year or so. So much so, that when I call, they say "is this Frankie?!" I get the same thing every time and every time it's amazing. I ask for a small modification and they were happy to oblige. I grew up in an Italian Restaurant. Worked in a Central Rome inspired kitchen. With the chef yelling at and hugging me at the same time. I know good pizza. And this pizza is ONE of my ONLY 2 spots I go to get some! Reading some of the reviews. I can't even believe the audacity of some people. Who cannot understand that humans are allowed imperfection every now again. And these folks are nice enough to make up for any appropriate and reasonable requests. Politeness goes along way! Reach out instead of yelping a one time experience that wasn't exactly what YOU expected. The people are as amazing as the pizza is. I've dabbled with the Fettuccine Alfredo a few times as well. Did not disappoint. Very reasonably priced for fresh ingredients that you can see right in front of your eyes, as they have an open kitchen. I'll be going back for as long as they'll have me! read more

Not very good. We asked for utensils and they did not provide them. Also the sausage was undercooked and completely pink on the inside. BUT the garlic bread is delicious. read more

Love that this is a mom and pop shop. We decided to try and order two, one-tipping pizzas. On a Friday night they were able to finish the pizzas in 15 min. They have interesting sizing here it is something like: personal, jumbo, extra jumbo? We got 2 extra jumbo one topping pizzas for pickup for around $35. The pizza was on the oily side and we thought was just ok for the price. The crust was "normal" (not too thick or not too thin), had good chew, but lacked flavor. Perhaps if you can find a coupon it would be more of a value. There is ses Random note: paid in person and walked out the door but got a call 10 minutes later that the card didn't go through, and to please pay over the phone (which we did). read more

I ordered catering through Italian Express and had the best experience! The owner was so accommodating and helpful with her suggestions on what to get. I ordered more than I needed so I would have leftovers to pack the kids for lunch, but there were barely any leftovers because everything was delicious, and everyone kept going back for more! I will definitely be ordering from here again soon! read more

Great service. Ordering via phone was easy and quick. Ordered the linguine with clam sauce and shrimp pasta. Both lacked flavor but the linguine with clam sauce seemed like sauce was left out. Bonus was there were plenty of clams. Very friendly service but unfortunately I will probably not order from this place again. read more

one of my favorite restaurants for take out! a Tustin staple and one of the few Italian restaurants that is fairly priced and freshly made with quick service. The staff here is always kind and gets my order right. My go to is the chicken delight pizza :) read more

Italian Express - Chicken Delight Pizza - Italian Near Me - Tustin, California

Very bad place quality is horrible. Food is so bland! Got the angel hair pasta and that was horrible. Want my money back!

7/26/24 update: Ordered delivery via DoorDash. The restaurant did an extremely poor job packing the food for delivery. Contents were wet and soggy. See pictures. The gravy had spilled over, there was grease all over. Pathetic; lost appetite thereafter. Also the custom create your own Make Your Own Pasta had zero taste and I had to make my own gravy at night to consume this item. Restaurant needs to significantly improve on its flavors. In the not so negative side, the spinach ravioli pasta in orange sauce was decent. Pasta primavera needs flavors. 2.5 stars for food, zero starts for packing. See pictures. read more

Definitely smelled great when we got there but we spent close to $100 to feed a family of 6. The flavors were pretty bland and the prices were definitely up there. The guy at the front was nice. Not sure if we'd return. read more

I had a pizza baking incident and chose Italian Express to come to my rescue. The pizza was good and all were happy with the results.

I've never ever had a better pasta salad, pizza and pastas are also good. Love the cheese bread rolls and mamma Mia dish

The name says it all. AND the food is delicious! How wonderful it is to have fresh authentic Italian food so freaking fast. I love their fettuccine Alfredo and free garlic bread! Chef's kiss! The staff is super friendly and talented. read more

Food was horrible and dry and with no taste! I ordered thru doorsash. Ordered angel hair pasta and tiramisu. Penne pasta had no flavor and so bland. Tiramisu was frozen! Rock hard. Horrible. Never again read more

First time customer, ordered lasagna and deluxe pizza to go, the lasagna has lots of flavor and lots of sauce, great for topping on the garlic bread, portion size is good, the pizza tasted fresh, the crust was not too thick neither too thin, good flavor as well, they serve with a smile and truly care about their customer liking the food. We're definitely be back again, they're like a hidden gem.ambiance is very casual is really what you would expect in an express food establishment read more

This was my first and will be my last time ordering from here. I got the chicken parmigiana with spaghetti, and calling it bland would be an understatement. The dish was severely lacking in flavor, and there was barely a tablespoon of sauce on the entire plate. Extremely disappointing. read more

ordered through post-mates. unfortunately it just doesn't have that Italian touch. I could have made this at home with 4 ingredients :/ the bread has no flavor whatsoever read more

Food is tasty and reasonably priced. Service is most excellent! The family that owns and operates it are down to earth. It's been a pleasure getting to know them over the years. It's a welcoming place and has become my spot for Italian fast food. read more

First time trying this place out and here is our thoughts: Customer service - OUTSTANDING! Super friendly and helpful, went above and beyond especially during rush dinner time. Food- I give it 3.5 stars. We ordered: spaghetti- my daughter loved it! Ate most of it and she would get it again Hawaiian pizza- super delicious pizza! Just the right amount of sauce and cheese to toppings and wasn't soggy or over cooked. (I even ate the crust bc it was so good) garlic knots- was okay. It had a lot of butter/oil and it didn't stick well to the bread. I also expected a marinara sauce but it didn't come with any. I would try it again Hot wings- not a fan. I ordered spicy hot wings and it wasn't your typical Buffalo wings. It seemed like more of a rub. It wasn't to my liking but that's okay I would definitely be going back and trying more things thank you team for making our experience great and having great customer service read more

Always friendly and consistent in what they offer. Reasonably priced for what you get. It is one my regular stops.

Favorite Italian delivery place. Food is delicious Portions are very generous Love that it comes with a loaf of garlic bread which I must say is tasty. Service is quick Love that they have mini containers for Parmesan cheese and Red Chili flakes instead of just bagging it. Looking forward to exploring rest of the menu. read more

Manager is argumentative,.the delivery was fast however, for.$50 bucks and 2 large pizzas the amount of topping bucks big time. I called to try to fix it and the manager argued with me for several minutes. 3 toppings is the meat lovers seriously?
