I only ate a calzone! Thought about getting a slice too but exercised restraint. Apparently the calzones are dank. Veggie so I couldn't get the house but the vegetarian was delicious none the less. Onions. Olives. Cheese. Peppers. Mushrooms. A great portion size and everything inside was represented appropriately. Not too much cheese or olives etc, great balance. Calzone was made on the spot so it takes about fifteen to twenty minutes. I was rewarded for patiently waiting with a crisp PIPING hot calzone. Cut in two the calzone steamed for a good seven minutes. Juggled bites in my mouth as I used a knife and fork on my first half. Second cooled down shortly after I finished my first half and I ate that bad boy by hand. Added some park cheese and salt from the table shakers for taste. Could get extra sauce but I ate mine as is. For $7 this was a steal. So fresh and flavorful. They also do subs and pasta. Salads and pizza as the name states but don't sleep on these calzones. Get one to share with your friend(S) or eat one all to yourself!!! TVs to watch. Desert. Fountain sodas. Clean. Bathrooms. Tables to dine inside. ATM. To go orders, this place has it all. I can tell why this restaurant has lasted thirty five years and counting. Had I gone to tech for my undergrad this would have been a weekly visit. read more

Liked it! Small place, with very friendly servers. Had a slice some nice, thin-crusted and crispy pepperoni pizza with mushroom. Good but not the best flavoring I've had. Given all the great reviews, I also enjoyed their house calzone. That too was well flavored and also pretty durn good, though the sausage was a little too over-flavored with Rosemary/Oregano (?) for my tastes, but juucy and cheesey. This is a good place to go to get a reasonably priced meal and to feel a little younger. Owe to be young again... read more

Let me start by saying the pizza was outstanding. Crispy bottom, cheese was real deal, and a chewy crust! The reason I can not give 5 stars is that the garlic cheese bread was just ok and the mozzarella sticks are straight out of a bag. But GO for the pizza! read more

One Guy is a must if you're in the hub city. Great, cheap food that is super fast. Authentic is an understatement; when you see mister One Guy you'll chuckle and saw to yourself "ohh... so this is who lives in Sicily." Six bucks buys a calzone (or two huge slices) and a large drink, but they only accept cash so come prepared. read more

I went here for lunch because it was on my list of restaurants to visit while back in Lubbock. A little to my surprise, my brother told me they switched from one corner of the street to another. I think it's because a new apartment complex was developed and the rent went up. The Good: I was actually glad they moved places. They oven doesn't look like fires have broken out in it. The decor is on the verge of stereotypical Italian from the maps of Italy to the poster of various fictional mob bosses. The place is perfect for lunch. The Bad: The seating is pretty tight. Every table sits 4 at the most and even then you're sitting chair back to chair back. I had the calzone deal, and it tasted a little too prepared. Overall: The food was still good enough for me to want to go back. Next time I think I'll order a custom calzone to ensure it's made fresh. PS - My brother said that every once in a while Mario, the owner, will come out and say, "Aye! It'sa me a Mario!" I don't know if any of that is true, but my brother believes it. read more

Fried chicken takes its time and unlike a chain like Popeyes and KFC who can have legs, breasts, and wings ready at the drop of a hat, Kokio only makes what's needed per order. This means there is a longer wait for the food. As we sat and waited for our food, multiple to-go and presumed DoorDash drivers came in and had a similar wait to us.

Advertised open until 10:00, not very inviting place after 9:00, left because it felt like they didn't care to be there. Pathetic

REALLY GREAT PIZZA AND CALZONES - I think I even prefer the calzones. The salads are very fresh. I recommend you stop by!

Very good - we get basic cheese pizza like once a week! Huge slices, good price, and even better to dine in.

I have only tried the pizza. But, it was really good! The cheese and sauce ratio, to me, was perfect!

But I'm not here to discuss their excellent pizza, the generous slices, or the largest pie in the region. I'm here to gush about their soda. I only have one vice in life: Dr Pepper. I visit near-daily to sit and watch old David Letterman clips on my phone, and nothing pairs as well with talk-show clips from the 1980s quite like an ice-cold Dr Pepper. I don't know what their trick is, but it's the perfect balance of syrup & carbonation. What's more is the availability of that delightful ice all enthusiasts crave: small & airy, which allows each cube to harbor your soda of choice within it's cracks for a flavor-filled burst with every satisfying crunch. Staff is invariably friendly and attentive, and seem to have no qualms about a daily dip into Letterman clips. Ownership is likewise friendly & kind, and offer up a warm greeting any time we cross paths. There's always a clean table available (sanitized with Fabuloso® if I'm guessing correctly), there are a couple of arcade machines (play Pac-Man while you wait!), and much of the restaurant is tastefully decorated with Super Mario memorabilia. If you're anything like me, and h*ck, who isn't, you'll love catching up with your favorite David Letterman clips and enjoying a slice of pepperoni while sipping an otherworldly example of Dr Pepper. It is my view that Georgio's merits all five stars, a blue ribbon, numerous gold medals and a Nobel peace prize.

I have been to Capital Pizza in Tech Terrace many, many times through college, after graduation,…read moreand on many revisits to Lubbock, and I will proudly say it is the best pizza in Lubbock. I will start off by saying sometimes the wait is excruciatingly slow for dine-in, whether it is almost empty or packed. However, takeout is usually pretty on top of it. Capital wins out if you like your crust a little doughy. There is this intense softness to their pizza that it is almost like tasting a cloud. It is legit. Some personal favorites of mine are their Hot Honey pizza, but this last time I ordered a Classic Margherita, and I loved it. It is really like no other pizza place I have been to, and I always find enjoyment in their immensely doughy crusts. It used to be only order over the phone, but it is nice to order online using Slice now because you do not have to preplan and prepare for a phone call. You just pick your pizzas and order. It is great. I enjoy dining in as well. The place feels pretty small, but there is a big overflow room in the back on busy nights. They have a full bar, which is pretty cool for keeping the party going. You do have to pay a little more than at your typical pizzeria, but I think the tradeoff is worth it. Capital Pizza, you have my heart. RIYL: Dough for days.

Our favorite is the carnivore pizza + the breadsticks with sides of ranch (obviously). 9/10 I order my pizzas to go, but even then in the time from ordering to pick up the customer service is extremely friendly and attentive.
