One Guy is a Lubbock staple! We went here all the time in college and always make sure to get it when we are in town for a game. The food is always top tier with the best college town vibes! It can be pretty busy on game days but it's always worth the wait! read more

One Guy from Italy University - Supreme calzone - A calzone, sliced open, shows a filling of vegetables and meat on a white plate, with some sauce and crumbs. - Pizza Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

In general, a standard calzone is filled with ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan/ Pecorino Romano and the dough is fresh made with some oregano and a little salt and pepper. This was not it, just cheap mozzarella and cheap ham (Canadian bacon). The dough is bland and it's basically a large Hot Pocket. I don't know if this place is still owned by the original owner, but I don't think so. 1 calzone took 30 minutes to make. Waaaaaaaaay too long. Several other customers after me received their food first. I had to inquire if something had happened to the order and they told me it would be a few more minutes. I'm sure the college kids don't know any better and the business will survive, but I'd skip this joint. If you're from NYC, fogettaboutit. read more

One Guy from Italy University - Ham & cheese "calzone" or giant Hot Pocket. - Pizza Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

ONE BITE! EVERYONE KNOWS THE RULES! This is a staple in Lubbock and they do what all college town pizza places do and that is pizza by the slice among other things. A good size slice of pepperoni coming in at just over $4 is a good deal in my mind. The restaurant was clean and staff was friendly and greeted me the moment I walked in. They had their pizzas in a glass window so you could see them. I ordered the pepperoni and they put the slice in the oven to warm it up. The slice was hot and crispy, they may have left the slice in the over a little too long, it got a good crisp on it almost to the point of being burnt. I let it slide because it didn't taste like Burnt crust but it was almost to that point. The crust was crispy and had good chew, there was zero flop in the slice and it was crispy. The sauce was great! It has good tang and you could taste the ingredients within the sauce. If I had to give one critique I would have wanted a little bit more sauce. GIVE ME THE SAUCE! . The pepperoni was of good quality because it started to cup up trapping all of that fat it has, which is flavor! The cheese was a good mix and tasted great. This by no means is award winning in my mind but it is great pizza for the price and it being next to bars and across the street from Texas Tech it's a great late night pizza. If I was in Lubbock again which I will be I will most definitely get another slice or two here! Cheers! read more

Stopped by One Guy from Italy for a quick bite before heading out to Llano Estacado Winery. When you arrive parking can be a bit tricky but you can park on a side street or off university. I'd recommend not parking on university as backing out of the parking spot can be difficult. When you walk in you'll feel like you've been transported to a New York pizza restaurant. To order you'll walk up to the counter to place your order, the cashier will hand you a number and then you'll select a table to sit at. I highly recommend ordering the calzone here, and staying away from the pizza slices. I haven't quite figured out what it is but the calzone is by far the best item on the menu. I ordered the house calzone which has pepperoni and sausage. If you are looking for a quick bite and a calzone, definitely check out One Guy from Italy. read more

This restaurant is a Lubbock staple especially if you go to Tech. The pizza is always really solid, and it's a lot of food when you get it, I always feel full after going here. I went today and the staff were super nice, super kind people and overall great all around. I also like the ambiance of the place it's very Italian and they even have a bunch of godfather posters, which is a great movie. Would highly recommend read more

Sadly the Lubbock icon is only ok now. Went for lunch on a Sunday at 1pm. Me and one other in the restaurant. Lady at the register not friendly, kid working the pizza station was nice. Ordered a slice to eat in. The last that took my order walked off after I paid her, stood in the kitchen doorway. Kid was making a pizza for other customer. After waiting over 10 minutes, I went and asked for pizza. They forgot to warm it up. Then waited 7 more minutes and had to go ask for it. Pizza would get a 3 but really frustrating. read more

Good pizza. Full stop. It's not fancy by any stretch. The decor looks like it was old 20 years ago but it's a college pizza place right across from campus. Would definitely go back. The calzones looked good. read more

So disappointing! We had two friends recommend this place. We ordered a supreme on cauliflower crust, hold the green pepper add jalapeno. Arrived without jalapeno and covered in green pepper.

To be honest pizza is great. Unfortunately their pizza oven is too hot and the pizza is cooked long enough resulting in a doughier texture and thicker crust. read more

I don't know how this can happen but my supreme slice was raw in the middle. I thought it was cheese at first but it was dough. Maybe it sat out so long the dough soaked up liquid from the toppings. Super disappointed. read more

good food but horrible service. bad communication throughout the people working causing orders to not be put through. i will be back but they definitely need a few training sessions. read more

Never. Again. Ordered margarita pizza for pickup. Upon arrival was told "He's working on it." 30 minutes later went to the counter to check, only to discover it had been ready for God only knows how long-at least long enough for the grease to start to coagulate. Adding insult to injury, there was no basil AT ALL on the pizza. When I took it back up to the counter, the response was, "Oh yeah. We ran out." When I pointed out that we weren't told when we ordered it, the response was, "we ran out right after." (Anyone there also could have said something as I was paying for it since "he was working on it.") I have had a lot of One Guy's calzones, pizzas, and salads over the years, but I will not be going back. Definitely not the same place it once was. Just sad and overpriced. Really wish I could give zero stars. read more

Best pizza in town, in house or delivery it's always great. Not sure anything else even comes close.

"Best Calzone in Texas" the sign boldly proclaims. Sadly, if that is true, the Hot Pocket has NOTHING to fear. This overly salty, under cheesed, and overcooked doughball was something only a college kid...drunk would even vaguely slur, "thissss is stheee bethsthhhh everrrrrrr!" On the bright side, the staff is very friendly. The place, while outdated, is clean. And the fountain drinks are...well, fountain drinks. read more

I used to eat here when I went to Tech and it was great. I brought my daughter here one night now that she is attending Tech and wanted her to experience this place. We came in about 9pm on a Sunday night. The sign on the door said it was open until midnight. There were several others in the place eating but not a big crowd. I had talked up this place and was excited to share it with my daughter. We ordered a pizza, a calzone and sat where we could watch the football game. The Chiefs were playing and I figured since Patrick Mahomes is a Tech legend the game would be on. We got our food and as we began eating they started stacking the chairs on the tables, turned off the tv's and acted as if they were closing. The food is still good, but the staff was really bad this night. They were rude, of little help, didn't provide what we asked and rushed us out of there. It appeared they had more important things to do.. It was a disappointing experience for me as I had really talked it up. I doubt I will go back after that experience even though it was likely just a bad group of people working that night. read more

We didn't get welcomed as we walked in. They said they close at 10pm but had everything cleaned up looking ready to close at 8:53pm. When we asked if they were closed they replied "not really" which already made us feel like we were a burden. We waited for our pizza and mozzarella sticks for over 30 min. While waiting the 4 workers here continued to clean and ignore us until I spoke up about our order. read more

Very disappointing. I ordered a chicken parmigiana sub and it was inedible. Essentially chicken nuggets on a bun with canned spaghetti sauce. Not worth it unless you have recently eaten an entire bag of gummies from Green Gorilla. read more

Still just as great as always. House calzones are always being made and are usually handed to you before you leave the line. Other items are made to order, but come out pretty quick, even when they're busy. Fettuccine Alfredo was huge. My daughter barely made a dent in hers. Garlic bread with melty cheese was also fantastic. And like always, great prices too. read more

Holy Calzone! This place is a Lubbock Staple from what I've heard. Students, professors, and locals all seem to agree that this place gives you a bang for you buck! I was traveling with a group of about 50 and we decided to give this place a try. They had everything ready right at the time they said they would! Everything in our order was perfect. I ordered a calzone, and let me tell you.. that was one epic calzone! The size alone is impressive, the flavor was out of this world. You just don't expect that quality from a place that'll give you a big meal for under $10. read more

Pizza is really. The calzones are even better. Good wait time. Everything is so good.

Pizza is pizza. Right? The pizza was OK. My wife went to grad school at Tech several years ago and has been talking nonstop about this place. She was underwhelmed... Now, I am not sure if nostalgia played this place up or if the pizza has actually changed. However, I thought that the pizza was as mentioned "OK". I have had MUCH worse and better. We also tried a calzone. Again, it was "OK". I had no problems with taste or texture. It was like a really big Stromboli. Again, not bad. I would have it again even though it may not be my first choice. read more

The best pizza I've had outside of New York - no joke. Yes, this place really is that good! It's a cozy establishment that has a real history in Lubbock. Great service with competitive pricing ($5 for 2 slices, $7 calzone with drink during lunch hours). I always get a slice of pepperoni or their house calzone - both 5 stars worthy. Their crust is amazingly crisp and their sauce is just wonderful. Everything is fresh and tastes perfect. They consistently wipe the floor with all other competition (capital pizza, orlando's, etc.) If you live in Lubbock and you haven't been here -- what are you doing?? Quit playin' yourself. read more

Ok let's start by saying I'm not a pizza guy for the most part. You know once a year would be fine with me however my wife wanted me try this "Alfredo Cheese Pizza" from One Guy. Being the ever loving dutiful husband we arrived downtown at lunch with at least a million students and for the life of me I don't understand how any of them obtained much less passed a driving test with license. So back to the pizza, I must say I have never had a pizza like that in fact I'll have a hard time describing the experience. Its the real deal folks! From the crust to the buttery hot wonderful flavor of the cheese on top of a perfectly baked pizza crust I'm telling you it's worth every bit of the hassle to get here. I don't know what else to say other than forget the meat try this and you will not be disappointed. read more

I currently go to TTU and live right next door: $8.00 for a Traditional (Pep', Sausage, Ham) Calzone with a large drink. I cant speak on the One Guy's other products other than Calzone and Pizza slices but, I have never been disappointed buying from there. Only knock i would give them is side sauces will cost you which I don't understand since Ranch comes out of a bottle. If you are visiting or a student on a budget then I recommend One Guy's! read more

First and foremost Yelp does not allow me to specify my star rating. My fellow officers and I deemed it appropriate to rate this pie a 2.75 but Yelp only utilizes solid numbers. Much like my American Government class grade of 2004, we had to round up. Our Italian connoisseur Top Ramen, ordered the Supreme. We found that the vegetation as well as the protein of choice was subpar due to lack time spent in it's heating apparatus . We could see the route they were trying to take but the execution came up just short. The spread of ingredients however was even and no bite was left without attention. The Meat Lovers, although cooked more thoroughly than the supreme, seemed to be just thrown together in a rush and lacked the pizazz that the veggies gave the supreme. All meats were bunched in the middle like a high school party with DJ Sancho as it's guest. The bacon was a no for me, I know great value bacon when I taste it. Other than that the slices varied in size, pizza was big for the currency that went into. If I was trying to feed a pack of hungry adolescent athletes, this would definitely do the trick. It wasn't bad, it wasn't great. It was pizza.. read more

Lobster ravioli is a lot of breading and no sign of lobster. Vodka sauce, Meh. My ceasar was over dressed. Ordered Minestrone soup. one scrap of green bean, one tiny carrot, NO pasta, It was all tomato sauce. Blah marinara with Fettachini. I'll repurpose that to make it into something flavorful. Overall, it was ok Spent $104 for Mother in law on Sunday. $55 for us. Will We come back? What do you think? The Grubhub driver went up and beyond! read more

I had the tortellini and garlic bread, it was mediocre at best and the prices are way too high :/ not college friendly.

Okay, this seems a little off the mark, but my wife swears this place has the best Greek salad she has ever tasted, so much so that we drove out of our way to eat there the second time. Yeah, the pizza is good, too. Great crust, and the medium size is actually a large anywhere but a college town, where the students eat like ravenous grizzlies. read more
