Food was good in house made food, large size portions. Server's were great and knowledgeable helped walk us through the menu. Prices were very reasonable. Great place for family. Highly recommend going to this restaurant. read more

I can't believe I never actually ate here (I think I did take-in via deliver service years ago) until a couple of weeks ago when I met a friend here for lunch. The place is small but bright, with service that was incredibly friendly. My gnocchi was house made and I chose the tomato sauce, which was rich and satisfying. And the portion was huge. I somehow managed to finish it all and spent the rest of the day in a carb coma. I plan to return. read more

Arancini on Thursdays for take out and picnic across the street overlooking the River Valley. Awesome.

Ordered takeout one evening. The Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo was very disappointing. It lacked sauce and ate really dry. To top, the diced chicken was really overcooked with a hard, dry crust. Got the gluten free option, not sure that makes a difference. The pasta itself was cooked perfectly though. Also got a cup of tiramisu. Was just okay, nothing great. read more

This place has quickly become one of our go to's when it comes to a fun treat. Eat in, takeout, or delivery it's always good. We love their gnocchi and their portion sizes are great. It can be quite pricey when you're adding on things to your dish ($6 for pancetta) so it is a special treat. The restaurant it's self is tight, but they have a patio for when it's nice. Service has always been stellar. read more

Panini's Italian Cucina - Best pozzq in Alberta - Pizza Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

I was able to have gluten free spaghetti. Yeah!!! I took my time to savour my food. The meat sauce was not too garlicky and was a definite compliment to a baked mozzarella topping. My meal was a 10 with an accompanying strawberry Italian fizzy drink. My partner had the same dish as myself but had provolone cheese and two tennis sized meatballs. He finished all his food, which is something rare to see. I took my leftovers home because it was a too large portion to finish for me. I especially, liked this business because they donate pizzas to the Boyle street program. All in all, my overall experience was A+. Servers were attentive, friendly and respectful. read more

My first visit was Nov 2023. I had learned great things from other Italian restaurant owners about Paninis . Of course I was curious . Because of being informed on how busy they are I visited on off day/evening times. IMPRESSIVE I can't say enough about the staff/servers WOW always engaging , polite and attentive. I must say I've enjoyed just about everything on their menu over my many visits and take out . Lucky for me I met the owner when he was my server . IMPRESSIVE down to earth guy , appreciative of my patronage and most interested in my well being . Waiting tables , wiping tables , mopping floors and interacting with me making me feel more welcome than I've felt anywhere for a very long time . I take many lady friends there as many as will come lol , my sons accompany me there on many occasions ya of course on my dime ha ha HONESTLY every menu choice of mine has been delicious. My one son was a chef and like me we have simple tastes we are satisfied with the best . Ya GOTTA LUV everything ps the menu unfolds awkward for me it's stiff plastic but hey folks nothing is 1000 % these days but Rob and his crew are as close as it comes . GO FOR IT FOLKS it's a MUST DO read more

Glad that we found this place that's walking distance from where we stayed (106 Ave) for the trip in Edmonton. We ordered salad and two pizzas, the food was fresh and tasty. There were many delivery people came over during our dinner time there. We were happy to dine in, enjoying the freshly baked hot pizza. read more

Well, this is not for this location but the Sherwood park location. We ended up choosing two different pastas, salad, margarita pizza, and the meatballs. Wow everything is amazing. The sauces on the pasta was phenomenal and the pizza was great. This will be our new go to in Sherwood park. I can't wait to try more of their menu! read more

We stumbled upon this place by fluke. Walking to our friends car after the football game we came across Panini's and all we could smell was their delicious pizza oven so we decided to stop in and have a bite. This place is a well oiled machine! They had a ton of staff in the kitchen and a good amount of servers for this smaller restaurant. We initially ordered at the counter for take out but decided to sit down and eat afterwards. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. We ordered some pasta, pizza, and paninis. All of the food was well seasoned and delicious. The pasta is a generous serving size and for $13.50 I was very happy with the prices here. Since we came on a Friday they had $4 Peroni's as the special so that really was great too! They have other weekly deals so make sure to check them out online before you decide which day to go. Overall, the prices, the food, and the service were all top notch and I would highly recommend to check this place out if you're ever in this area. It's a short walk from the coliseum too! read more

That was a fine lunch. I ordered the Explosion panini and my wife had the Italian Sausage pizza. My sandwich looked small at first but it was very filling. It tasted fresh and full of flavour. I tasted my wife's pizza - just one or two slices - and it was good too. The crust was freshly baked. It wasn't as unique as the sandwich but they made a common pizza very well. We ordered brewed coffee and the refills were included so that really pleased us. It's nothing fancy inside but the decor was bright with the big windows and it seemed to be clean. Parking right out front is free for an hour but I'm sure that in this area we'd be good for 90 minutes or more. The service was very friendly. I will certainly return for another panini as some others looked very interesting. We might try another pizza too. Fresh ingredients make all the difference. The prices are reasonable and perhaps even a little below average. My panini was $12.00 in 2022 so that's definitely a good value. As we walked out we stopped by the freezer near the door and saw these interesting cups of something. The server came by and enthusiastically explained that it's a caramel coffee semifreddo ice-cream. The owner behind the counter then told the server to give us a free one. We gratefully accepted it and after one spoonful in the car we realized that it was a trap. It's so delicious that we had to walk back and buy two more. They were laughing while we paid. So if they offer you a free caramel coffee semifreddo, be warned that you could be hooked as it's incredibly delicious! read more

Ordered tonight from SkipTheDishes at Panini's Italian Cucina. Not sure what happened, the pizza was nothing but oil, not edible. Huge disappointment read more

I have ordered more than 20x from this place through Uber Eats and Skipthedishes and have asked parmesan cheese on the side for pastas a bunch of times. I have never been charged until today. It is not that i do not want to pay for it. My point is, what's changed now? I called the restaurant and the manager basically said that the people who handled my orders in the past were at fault and started lecturing me about cheeses and what they use and where they get it from and the expense on the container blah blah blah. I just ended the convo there. I was just expecting for consistency as a frequent customer. Also, i did not need that lecture. read more

This is a little known place is a great Italian gem. I have driven by here so many times and not bothered to stop. Now I am so glad I did. The atmosphere is cool but not super comfortable for lounging and talking. Chairs are super uncomfortable. Good wine, beer, and coffee product menu. Our server was polite and efficient. A good selection of pastas, pizzas, and paninis. I decided on the gnocchi with pesto and my friend went with the panini. We also decided to split the bruschetta. All food came out in a timely manner. The bruschetta was beautiful and plentiful. Just the right amount of garlic. My gnocchi was amazing! The little pillows of dough were soft and the perfect texture, and the pesto sauce was fresh and vibrant. My friend enjoyed her panini. I will be back to try the pizza! read more

Great little restaurant close to downtown. Parking on street seemed to be easy. Went around 4:30 each time and found it half full both times I was here. I imagine it fills up at suppertime though. If it's summer, they have a cute patio with a view of the river valley. read more

Service is awesome. The food is fantastic! Haven't eaten there just ordered from home. Prices aren't too bad either.

This is a hidden gem for sure. The prices are great for the portions and the food is amazing. Kid friendly and the staff is so friendly. This is my second time coming here and we will be back for sure. Definitely check them out if you want some tasty Italian food. read more

This is my partner and i's favourite pizza place. It's in a great location (very close to us) but it's also great quality. The crust is always perfect. We like the Italian sausage one and the prosciutto arugula ones! Definitely add the lemon dill sauce! It's usually very consistent although the last few times we have gone the prosciutto has been very thick and not great. But the service is amazing especially with the deals! Atmosphere is a classic pizza diner style place and it's usually very busy which is a sign of a good spot! Highly recommend! read more

Popped in for an evening pizza and pasta to share with my wonderful wife. Parking can be hard to find here but apparently they now have parking on the west side of the building, looks like about 5 stalls. This place is nothing fancy on the inside, limited seating, but I'm guessing their main biz is takeout or delivery. My wife and I shared a Calabrio pizza and gnocchi with housemade pesto. The pizza was tasty, I would prefer a bit less chewy of a crust, but the quality of the toppings was good. The gnocchi was just ok, wasn't as much flavour as I would like and the gnocchi was a bit more chewy than I'm used to. I wouldn't order to again. Adequate service. read more

This place is so awesome! The menu has so many different options to try. From healthy sandwiches/salads to almost every Italian dish. We had pizzas that tasted authentic and used fresh ingredients. Paired with prosecco was the bomb! Cute vibe inside and patio outside if you want to dine in. The service was top notch and organized.They looked super busy with to go orders so that's an option too. At times like these support your local spots as much as you can even if it's just for coffee(coffee is awesome here too) Side note: Pricing is affordable both were shocked when we got the bill. Highly recommend!! read more

Pasta is amazing! I usually get the chicken Alfredo linguine and it's amazing every time!!! So delicious, it's my go to Italian place !!

I'd driven by this spot so many times, wondering if it was any good, and yesterday, after a semi-crummy day, I saw some folks sitting outside at one of their patio tables. As it was a glorious fall day, I decided to enjoy it. I ordered an Explosion panini (spicy!) with some spicy meats, mozzarella, provolone and a sweet pepper mayo. Also a blood orange San Pellegrino and an individual tiramisu. The panini arrived all lovely and melty and was just what I needed. It was DELICIOUS! I was fully prepared to be underwhelmed from some of the reviews here, but I did not have that experience. The tiramisu was also fantastic, and the patio was just what the doctor ordered for my months and months of captivity inside. Will definitely be back! read more

amazing food as always. love the gnocchi, it's my favorite dish from the restaurant! have ordered out more than ate in but from the times i have ate in, wonderful service and just a great new addition to sherwood park. read more

Sadly I can only give this place 3 stars. I've been here numerous times, and while the staff is amazing and hyped up and believing that they produce the absolute best food in the city....... They don't. Ugh. It kills me to post this, it really does. Ok the sandwiches, they're great. Spot on. No complaints there. But you're marketing yourselves as an Italian pizza place. I think? Still kinda confused there. Anyways. Pizza, decent. Eat it fast or it tends to get a little soggy. Calzones? Although my favorite, I DO NOT recommend them. I can pretty much guarantee you that they will be soggy and (sorry) gross within 5 minutes of hitting your plate. Even the take out calzones get soggy and there's not enough paper/ cardboard to help that. The pasta is not bad actually. Although if you're ordering the meatballs, they're quite large. Tasty though. All in all, good service and tasty food. Although I do recommend they upgrade to a bigger brick oven for their pizza and calzones and for heavens sake, sauté the moisture out of your vegetables or something. Please! Then I can upgrade you to 5 stars. Cheers. read more

Just ordered from Skip the Dishes. Everything was really good, minus the Italian fries.. those were kind of tasteless. Couldve used some more seasoning/salt. I will definitely have to come dine in next time. There were many things I wanted to try! read more

I've been going here since it opened. Excellent authentic Italian food. Family run and the pride in providing great food at a reasonable price shows. Tony and Rob know what they're doing. Menu has a selection of pizza, panini, and pasta favourites - as well as a build-your-own-pasta-dish option. They've opened a second location in Sherwood Park that offers the same quality food and service. Looking forward to seeing what these two will be doing next! read more

I was looking for some late night pizza that wasent garbage. And paninis delivered. Nice crisp chewy crust, not overly dark. I devoured the supreme margarita in no time. And the deluxe was amazing. More toppings than italians normally like to put on, super good! Will order again through skip the dishes. I cant wait to try the pasta I ordered for later! Still the best late night pizza delivery. The high quality ingrdients in the pizza really shined. read more

Awesome food every time! I love the vibe of the restaurant as well if you find yourself downtown

An anti-mask friend called at the end of the masking mandate and recommended Panini's for pizza. Ever since the Flamingo closed to make way for the non-existent LRT, we've been searcking Edmonton for good pizza. My friend's recommendation was suported by Yelp Reviews so we made a date with friends for a pizza evening. With all due respect to my friend and all Yelpers who tested Panani's before us, we were all disappointed. The first problem surfaced when we waited 35 minutes aafter arrival to get our pizzas. Pizza is fast food and Panani's does nothing to dispel the fast food label by serving the taeout and delivery markets. Panini's further advances its fast food categorization with limited in-restaurant seating capacity. True to the fast food genre, what seating exists is grossly uncomfortable (to prompt the customer to leave as soon as possible) like all hamburger or chicken franchises. I have an arthritic back which, in combination with the truly awful seats, made me cranky by the time our food arrived. The pizza itself was tasty enough. My choice was the Calabrese pizza, promised to be spicy and Panini's delivers. Too many Edmonton estaurants consider a faint hint of capsicum to be worthy of the title spicy. Unfortunately, the Panini's pizza is thin crust, no choice. Panini's only concession to thick-crusters is a huge thick roll of dough arount the outside. I like a thicker crust in the middle of my pizza because the first slice of a hot thin crust pizza droops like wilted lettuce, making it impossible to eat without a knife and fork. The serving staff are friendly enough but are rushed off their feet on a Saturday night. Perhaps the take out experience is better but dine-in was definitely underwhelming. read more

Came here for my grandmothers birthday and had a great time. Not exactly a formal sit down restaurant but a good place for a small group to gather for some decent Italian good at a decent price. Also have a cute patio and a great view of the river valley. It is normally a cafe style serving where you get in line and order your food and then sit down, but upon request they were able to come to our table of 6 and take orders like any other restaurant. Nothing fancy but still good prices and a clean and casual atmosphere. read more
