Italian Kitchen is open for takeout and delivery during COVID and they are still doing a great job. The pizza remains great (we've been enjoying the white pizza lately in particular), the pasta remains great (cannelloni!), the paninis remain enormous and great (Roma!). We get takeout from them about twice a month and always enjoy it. A great local business. read more

Delicious, affordable, and fast! My husband and I both ordered the chicken parmesan panini. It only took 14 minutes for them to cook it and deliver! The chicken breading is nice in color and crispy. The sauce is fresh and the melty cheese is the perfect topping. Made with fresh pizza dough-like bread, it's crispy and delicious! Would recommend, their prices are great! read more

Italian Kitchen - Pizza Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

My pregnant wife wanted a pizza, so over 2 hours ago I ordered one from Italian Kitchen. They said 40 minutes. That worked perfectly for us. However, still no pizza. Called in and they were less than caring and said "all deliveries are going out" and no more information. This experience aside, I have been to this place many times. The pizza is passable (5 or 6 out of 10) at Italian Kitchen and the main thing they having going for them is that it is fresh. I doubt I will be back, despite the fact that this is my go to place. If anyone else has any other recommendations for this area, please let me know. Edit: I waited another 20 minutes (after they said to wait 10 more minutes) and called back to speak with manager. No one was on shift. Instead, just got a refund. I doubt they called the driver to cancel after that, so my guess is they were just going to charge us and never send us a pizza. I wish yelp had a middle finger icon. read more

Cheese was terrible it smelled funny and didn't taste appetizing and the cheese on the lasagna was also terrible

Decent food if u find whoever makes the food in a good mood .. but unorganized coz they run out of fries and just the basic things that should always be there and also they don't answer the phone during work hours ... read more

We ordered online to go pick up in store. When we got there they said their fax machine was broken so they never got the order...annoying but not a big deal. Decided to have a beer while I waited, thought maybe they would comp that to make up the fact that I had to wait 20 minutes but nope. Get the food home and they gave us the completely wrong sandwich. We love their food but they need to try a little harder! read more

Wings were cooked perfectly and sauce was very good. The order showed up on time a few minutes early. The salad was very good but they use the wrong dressing that I asked for. read more

Sometimes middle aged suburban life gets so mundane you need to do something reckless just to feel alive. In this case it was ordering takeout from a restaurant we'd never been to before. The Italian Kitchen crushed it. We got a few pasta dishes and a pizza for the kids. It was all super delicious. Even though the entrees came with bread we ordered the extra garlic bread and it did not disappoint. After the kiddos went to bed the misses and I each ate a cannoli and it was fabulous. And if you're looking to stall because you don't want to go home, here's a strategy: go to the restaurant first, get yourself a beer from the bar, then place your order. They have a few tv's to watch while your tasty meal is being prepared. read more

the food is always good but service sucks! they never answer the phone and are closed sometimes during their normal hours.

Calzone is the name of the game here. Portion and taste go hand in hand; great! Staff can be a hit or miss like delivery. Everything else is not bad but tastes a bit.. frozen? Still on the fence about it. read more

Great pizza spot in DTSS! It was cooked to order so it took about 10 minutes or so. Crust was perfect, Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Also - $5 dogfish head 60 minute IPA on draft.... Yessss. Looking forward to trying more of the dishes here! read more

Italian Kitchen - Beautiful supremo pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Good pizza. On the portabella pizza: it would be better with more portabella and less cheese. It's lacking in mushroom flavor and thick and chewy with cheese layer. The roast garlic is good. The crust is good. read more

The name is translated as is the food. If you were looking for authentic Cucina Italiano, this isn't it. Unpretentious Italo-American fast casual, done quite well. It's a small space in the backwaters of the Sprung, eight seats at the bar and twenty at tables. Two side of the room are tall windows. Two unisex restrooms. Service style is order and pay at the bar, grab a perch, and your food is brought to the table. Bruschetta was the star of the appetizers, covered with so much cheese it was mistaken for a salad. Buffalo wings were on point with crispy skin, juicy meat, and a solid kick but not punishing. Spinach and Feta Triangles were a nice take on spanakopita, crispy phyllo and chewy inside. Cheese sticks were ordinary, but with a fresh bright marinara. Cannelloni was about the closest entree to real Italian, savory filling and lots of gooey real cheese. The heart of the menu is pizza and calzones, with myriad choices (including lots of vegetarian options) for toppings/fillings. All the ones we tried were tasty, on fresh (but not artisanal) dough. Spaghetti Alfredo was pretty routine. Nobody had room to order desert. I would have gone about 3.5 stars for the food, rounding up for the friendly service, honest prices, and the beverages, Peroni [Italian beer] on draft and Jones soda in the fountain machine, real cane sugar and real flavorings. read more

My last 10+ orders were okay but this last order was soggy and gross. I'm upset and will not order from here again. It has been steadily decreasing in quality. Too bad as I was hoping for a decent pizza after a long work week. Disappointed. read more

Stopped in for dinner here. I had the chicken Parmesan panini - it was awesome. They bake their own focaccia, and it makes all the difference in the sandwich. The panini is very big, so you get a lot of food for a low price. Service was good, the cashier was friendly. Our food took no more than ten minutes. We are glad to have found such a good place! Definitely will return. read more

Pizza is good; the calzones & paninis are incredible. No idea if it's in any way authentic Italian, but if you are looking for cheese + bread + sauce comfort food, this hits the spot. It's the dough that is really the star, I think... so fresh, doughy, soft. YUM. Other ingredients are high quality as well. This is a cafeteria/fast-casual style place but pretty elegant for that category. They also have delicious Jones soda as the fountain drinks; a rare find in the area. Chatted with the very friendly but not overbearing owner for a bit and let him know we're very glad to have Italian Kitchen in the neighborhood! ALMOST deducted a star for their use of styrofoam to-go containers... but sorry environment, their dough is just too good. read more

Italian Kitchen - Italian panini & meatball calzone. Both were delicious! - Pizza Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Italian Kitchen is on point. Some of the best comfort and normal Italian food in the area. This place brings a solid neighborhood vibe for anyone to enjoy, regardless of how you're dressed or how much money you have. I haven't personally tried the pizza but my friends have ordered it. They loved it and it looked delicious. It will be entering my mouth in the near future. Steak & Cheese panini is delicious. Dare I say it's comparable to some of the best cheesesteak joints I've had back home in Philly? Nah, I won't go that far with that sort've blasphemy but it surely is a top 3 best cheese steak concoction I've had in the Silver Spring area. The bruschetta is a must try and thus far the best thing I've had on the menu. Everything appears home made and meticulously prepped from the bread to each ingredient. I've never felt one way or another about bruschetta and never voluntarily order it as an appetizer, but Italian Kitchen's bruschetta stands out so well that if you're going to order one thing here, it's this. Calzones and salads are phenomenal, as well as, large. You'll certainly get a 2nd, if not a 3rd, meal out of an order. The cheesy bread and cheese fries I found to be mediocre. Cheesy bread is a cheese pizza without tomato sauce, cut into strips. Very greasy. The cheese fries weren't bad but compared to the other items, didn't stand out in a unique and delicious way as the other items did. Dogfish 60 minute is $5, so that's not bad compared to other prices in the area. Four televisions with a different game on each was nice. Overall, Italian Kitchen will be getting my repeat business for the foreseeable future. read more

Italian Kitchen - Meatball Calzone to go. I called ahead because it takes a while to create perfection! - Pizza Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Interesting how some of the commenters commenting about how "bad" the food is don't take pictures of their food. But I have been here with my girlfriend and with a friend about 5 times. The service has been friendly every time I have gone. The owner has come out and said hello and everyone is friendly and helpful. We have ordered a variety of pizzas, salads and the last time I ordered the wings. For the price of what you pay for dinner for two $30-40 or so including tip, salad, drinks, pizza and a good meal you can't really go wrong. I honestly think this is one of the best places for Pizza and Italian food in the area. You can smell and taste the fresh ingredients. We even tried their spaghetti for about $10, the pasta was awesome and they came with huge meatballs. You have great lighting, 3 big Tv's and you have a good time going in and feeling full when you leave. I will not only be coming back but I will continue to be a regular. read more

Italian Kitchen - Delicious Food in casual setting. They do lots of delivery orders. - Pizza Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Oh, Italian Kitchen. Where do I begin? Your food is as inspired as your name. Over salted, over sauced, previously frozen, and very possibly microwaved. Aloof, unfriendly service. Hair in the food. Gobs of cheese. Took 30+ minutes to come out. A big 'ol nope for this over hyped corner spot in desperate need of a general manager. read more

I ordered two cheese steaks sandwiches for delivery. I literally live two blocks away from the restaurants, but it took 1 hour for delivery. I could have walked to the restaurants and get the food for pick up all in less than 15 min, but I could not. But the food was good. read more

So disappointed. We placed an online order they their own website and got a text confirmation with a time to pick up. When we arrived at the restaurant, they said "the order had been cancelled". By who? How? Why? We lost about 45 minutes waiting, after driving there. Can't believe the Manager was so rude as to not even offer a "sorry" or any discount. Simply couldn't care less about wasting people's time. read more

I like to eat at a spot a few times before reviews so here it goes! 1. Owners and employees are very helpful and friendly. 2. Ordering is odd in store but you get use to it. Just walk up to the bar area order and pay. Its not a Club dont worry, babies are just fine. They bring it out to you on regulare plates and no plastic cutlery! 3. The only reason I put 4 stars not 5...I've noticed that when I order, even if it's a starter, salad then entree all our food comes out at weird times. Like cheese pizza, then calzones, later chicken parm, then like 10 minutes later the salad and caprese. To avoid this...order your food as you want to eat it. Like Salads then wait 5 minutes to oder your entree. It's seems a pain but it's worth it! 4. Best freaking Cane Soda ever! They have Tap Beers and Wine. No need for tips , it's self service basically. Just leave it and they clean it up when your finished. 5. Prices and amounts are perfect. Huge portions, loads of cheese and in my opinion average if not under priced for what you get in freshness. The Calzones are bigger than a football! Wings are baked! Ignore the bad comments and try it! They even deliver locally to my area near Tacoma Park! 301-588-7800. read more

The restaurant is pretty cozy to eat in and the food was definitely my type of Italian food. I ate a calzone for the first time here (the meatball one) and it was all love to my stomach! The bread of this calzone was everything! I'd only really stick with just their Italian dishes such as this because the cheddar fries weren't too good. The Jones sodas they have available were good. I mixed orange cream soda with the cola soda (my husband hated it) and it was really good. Other than that, try them out! read more

I download the Yelp app just to warn people about how terrible this establishment is. Their customer service is horrific. Do not order from this restaurant. read more

Food was okay. Service was the worst customer handling. Been there couple times but they treat you as you are asking them for free.

I ordered online an hour before they closed and they canceled my order 30 minutes later because they said they ran out of my order. So, I placed an order for something different. Again, they cancelled my order. I called them to ask wtf is going on, and they told me they don't send delivery orders after 9. I asked to speak to manager who switched it up and told me they don't have any delivery staff. Now I have to wait a week to be refunded for 2 orders.....lazy ignorant staff = Lazy ignorant establishment. Bye Felicia. read more

Wouldn't it be nice to have a gem in the neighborhood that served real food, had an authentic concept, provided good service? Sucks. Yet another downtown silver spring fail. I tried the "Italian kitchen" for lunch a few weeks ago, ordered the lasagna thinking no "Italian kitchen" could go wrong there. Boy was I wrong. The pasta was so mushy it turned into mash on the touch, sauce salty and generic as can be, and then a one inch layer of Aldis quality cheese so gummy I could make a tennis ball out of it. Tried again for dinner to give it another chance and the pizza was worse than pizza hut. Every ingredient obviously frozen and pasta and salads were bland out of a bag. Not going to dwell on the staff because I don't want to sound rude, but both experiences were very dissapointing. They really need a leader in there and someone who actually cares. Especially being a nice new place, whoever invested money needs to be there. This place has potential. Its in a very visible spot and open till 11pm. Beer and wine. Nicely designed and clean. But... They need to serve real food. Real Italian food, if your gonna be the Italian kitchen. Hire someone that will smile or not fall asleep on the bar. Throw a company Shirt on instead of looking like your a barback at wonderland. Take down the huge NOW HIRING sign on the front door. Its called craigslist. Maybe I'll give it a try in the summer to see if they've changed things around. As of now, I'm headed to the city.. read more

This is a solid Italian spot. Can't really call it a restaurant but it does have a small bar with beer and wine which is always a plus in my book. I've eaten here a couple of times I've even got it delivered using the eat 24 service. The food is pretty gd I don't believe that anything on the menu is terrible. I do know that the pollo parm, lasagna and speggeti with handmade meatballs are good. Definitely give it a try strongly doubt they will disappoint. read more

I was looking for a sandwich spot just to grab a bite to eat and stumbled upon 'Italian Kitchen'. I have to say I loved the portion size here, it actually caught me by surprise. I ordered the Chicken Caesar panini and it was delicious. I got far more than I bargained for as it was served with kettle cooked style chips. From what I saw they had a wide variety of drinks and beer. As the other reviews suggest the server was very friendly. I will definitely be back! read more

I've been here a few times now and I really want to love this place. I want DSS to have great places to eat. I agree with others that the design of the place is really nice and it is clean but I'll have to say that the food went down super fast. The first month they opened the food was so much better and the pasta portions were so much bigger. The last time I went I ordered a cheese calzone and I was given cold marinara sauce and the waitress told me that it was standard to be cold. The cheese in the calzone wasn't melted all the way and overall I was just disappointed. Not sure I will be coming back. read more

Everytime I placed a delivery order with these folks it's been an issue! Either it's a problem with my order or the quality of the food. The last and final time was no different! Placed my order, then called back to add to my order. Paid by credit card and the driver tried to collect money from me despite the fact that the receipt clearly showed my order as being paid by credit card. I called Italian Kitchen to clear up their error. The first caller explained to the driver that he collected the payment. The driver refused the explanation and asked for Tony. I then had to explain to Tony that I paid. Rather than apologize for their disrespectful behavior, Tony tried to excuse his and the drivers disregard towards me! They offered no amends and only apologized when I explained why I deserved an apology. To make matters worse the pizza is horrible! Should have known better than to have ordered from these folks on Superbowl LIV!!! End story, I will not give these folks another opportunity to disregard me nor devalue my business. I'll take my business elsewhere!!! read more

The pizza is very bready and the cheese mix is stodgy in that it is a blend that firms up before it reaches your door and does not have the melting quality of a more traditional mozzarella. It is fine but I wouldn't eat here again. read more

I ordered delivery for the first time from here and all in all, it was fine, not impressive but not disgusting I think one thing that really affected my experience is the fact that my order was late for about 30-35 minutes. I ordered it right before they opened (at 11AM) and my order was automatically scheduled for 11:55 so it gives them enough time to deliver, which was totally fine with me. However, I didn't get my order until 12:30. Since it took so long to deliver, the italian fries I ordered (with cheese and bacon) has become really dry due to the cheese being already cooled down. Definitely wasn't worth 6 dollars. On top of that, I also ordered the chicken parmesan and thankfully it was still warm. The pasta in general was fine. It was well seasoned but they put way too much parmesan cheese in the dish for my taste. read more

Found this newly opened casual Italian place while searching for a kid friendly destination around downtown SS. We were pleasantly surprised and will definitely go back. The food was good, environment was small and low key for our toddler (we went around 6 on a Saturday) and the staff was friendly. We had the antipasto salad (peppers were great but it needs cheese), buffalo wings (great quality chicken and tasty sauce, maybe could have been a tad crispier), manicotti (yum!) and sausage pizza. The crust and sauce were great. We each had a craft beer and total was under 50$ so we were happy and full and went home with left overs. I hope they can make it in this location! read more

The bruschetta Bella Napoli was excellent wasn't expecting such a large pieces of bread. We also ordered a salad which I don't think we'll order again as there were a lot of wilted pieces of lettuce. We finished off with a calzone that we waited to long to dig in to and it go soggy from the delicious juices inside. Will definitely visit this place again. read more
