The food is always good, the service is impeccable, the restaurant is ultra-clean, and they don't price gouge customers - Salvatori's is totally worth the stop for a good/quality meal. You absolutely cannot beat $15 for lunch for the amount of food you get and the friendly service.

The pizza was simply amazing. Decided to get this for father's day for me and my dad to try…read moretogether and we got a half cheese half all meat. There was no meat on the cheese side and it tasted delicious. Even my dad loved it again said it was an "8 out of 10" in his books. We even got the garlic bread and it really was a whole foot long loaf of bread. Perfect to have with guests or split over multiple meals. The person working behind the counter was lovely and chuckled at my dad's poor jokes. Nice and quiet. It is an easy spot to miss your turn so make sure you are ready when you got here for the first time.

My first time having wings at Redwood. They only offer a wing basket that contains 8 jumbo/large…read moresized wings for $16. You have a choice of seven sauces. You may NOT split the wing basket into multiple sauces per our waitress. No apparent ability to order additional wings outside the basket - which includes a bed of fries. The wings were very tasty. They are large and meaty. Redwood dips the wings in a batter and then fries them. The batter is slightly thick and crispy - nice touch! The wing is perfectly cooked with no pink insides, tender and moist. I chose the teriyaki and garlic Parmesan sauces in the two different baskets I ordered (I thought 8 wings wouldn't be enough). The teriyaki sauce was moderately thin in consistency. It had a mild teriyaki flavor. Slightly sweet with no spicy aftertaste. The garlic Parmesan sauce was thicker in consistency. It has a nice bold garlic flavor. The Parmesan cheese tended to clump. Each clump brought a bolder pop of cheese flavor. The ranch dip was thin and had a mild ranch flavor. The fries were good - a bit softer and flexible with slight amounts of salty seasoning. I really wasn't interested in fries...but the basket was the only choice. We also tried the onion rings and fried pickles. The onion rings were outstanding. A thicker piece of onion inside a thicker breading. The batter was soft with a slight crisp. Only slightly oily. I was surprised how few rings came in the basket for the price. The fried pickles were good. A dill pickle chip with a very mild dill taste. The breading is thin, crisp and stuck to the chip nicely. Overall, I really liked the wings - though they are pricey. The breaded wing was really good! I wasn't fond of having to buy a basket. I didn't like having to buying another basket to more than 8 wings. I'm sure other wing lovers would like a few more choices than seven flavors. It would have been nice to split the flavors in a basket.

Solid 3.5 experience for me. I stopped by Redwood Inn Pizza…read moreon a lovely Saturday night. I placed a carry out order for a sausage roll. I'm on the hunt for the best sausage roll in the city and I've yet to find the one. The service here was courteous. I placed my phone order and was given a 25 minute time frame. Within that 25 minutes my order was ready. The establishment was lively, full of patrons inside and on the patio area. It appeared to me most of the customers were familiar with the bar/restaurant and they frequent it. There seemed to be a familiarity among many. As for my sausage roll it was good. Pro: great crust - brushed with garlic butter, good sausage- it was not mushy at all. Cons: the sauce was very much a tomato sauce . I like mine with a hint of sweet to cut the acidity. I wouldn't necessarily stop in again, as the sauce is not to my liking, but the roll wasn't bad.

Passing through Auburn, Indiana this Thursday afternoon (enroute to Naperville IL) and stopped for…read morethe night (and to get dinner). Our neighbor is cat-sitting for us and suggested Salvatori's as a good place for Italian, and she was so right! It's not a big space and you may have a short wait for a table, but so worth it. The ambiance is casual and family-oriented, not too noisy even when full, and (best of all) there's No TVs. Heavenly! I had the pasta Apuli (minus the red pepper flakes), she had the Spaghetti Olio and we split a bruchetta and a cannoli for a to-go dessert. The portions are so large, we needed to-go boxes for both dinners even though we ordered the half sizes! Generous doesn't begin to describe this place. Our server was warm and attentive without 'hovering' and the host stopped by to ensure all's well. We're coming back through town on Monday and I think we'll be back again!

This review is based on two visits, two nearly identical pizzas, and unfortunately, the same issue…read moreboth times: two pizzas, same floppy crust. About two weeks ago, visiting Auburn for work, I ordered a small Supreme thin-crust pizza from Salvatori's and brought it back to my hotel. The pizza itself was very tasty, but the crust was extremely soft and floppy--so much so that it couldn't support the toppings. When I picked up a slice, the toppings basically slid right off the bottom. The crust had apparently decided its job was simply to provide transportation from the kitchen to the box. The flavor was good, though, so afterward I called the restaurant simply to offer some constructive feedback. I explained that I thought the pizza had been pulled from the oven too early and wasn't fully cooked. The young lady took my feedback in stride and thanked me. This week, I decided to give Salvatori's another try and ordered the exact same pizza: small Supreme, thin crust. But this time I was very specific. I asked for the crust to be very crispy and told them I was perfectly fine with the cheese getting browned. At the end of the call, they confirmed, "So you want it well done?" I said yes. Perfect. We were speaking the same pizza language. I was told it would be ready in 20 minutes. When I arrived, however, the pizza wasn't ready. After waiting a few minutes, one staff member asked another if they had taken the order for the "10-inch carryout pizza"--a.k.a. my pizza--and there seemed to be a little scrambling. The manager came right up and explained that they were "late" getting my pizza in. I said no problem. Things happen. I waited another 15-20 minutes. When the pizza finally came out, I watched an employee hand it over to the woman at the counter. She opened the box, looked at the pizza, paused for a good five seconds, slowly closed the lid, turned around, faced me and said: "Sir, your pizza is ready." That five-second pause should probably have been my warning. To their credit, they were very nice about the delay and gave me a piece of cheesecake at no charge. I had intended to pay for it, but they insisted because of the inconvenience, which I genuinely appreciated. Here's where my pending disappointment became actual disappointment. I opened the box. It looked almost exactly like the pizza from two weeks earlier. Definitely not well done. Definitely not crispy. Once again, the crust was soft and floppy. Apparently, "well done" and I have a different definition than Salvatori's oven does. At that point, the pizza was already cut, I had already waited the extra time, and I really didn't want to hand it back and ask them to put it in the oven for another 10 minutes just to get the crispy crust I had specifically requested. I hate leaving anything less than a five-star review, especially because the pizza actually tastes good and the staff were friendly. But after specifically calling about the issue after my first experience, then giving them another chance and being extremely clear about how I wanted the second pizza cooked, it was disappointing to receive essentially the same result. The missed order and extra wait wouldn't have bothered me much by themselves. Things happen, and the complimentary cheesecake was a thoughtful gesture that I appreciated. But when a customer specifically requests a pizza "well done," the restaurant confirms that request, and the pizza still comes out noticeably underdone, that's harder to overlook. I wanted crispy. I got floppy. Twice. Two pizzas, one review--and unfortunately, the same crust both times. I'm just not sure there will be a third. I'm rooting for you Salvatori's, I really am, but man-o-man.

We sat in an area where it was all tables but there also see,ed to be a more intimate area that had some booths. Great for date night. Our server came over quickly and took our drink order. The menu is very large. I really liked that they offered a cauliflower crust pizza as well as a gluten free option with the pastas. I asked my friend what she recommended and went with her suggestion. It was pasta in a cream sauce with mushrooms and then you got an additional vegetable mixed in. I ordered it with the broccoli and she ordered hers with the spinach. We both ordered the lunch special that had a side salad and any pasta. The salad was large and fresh. The portion size was large. And filling. By the time my pasta came I was only able to eat half of it. The portion size on the pasta was large also. I was thrilled that I took half of it home because I got to enjoy it again for lunch the next day. The pasta was delicious. I loved the flavor of the cream sauce. We could not have had a more enjoyable lunch. The service was great. The food was amazing. And the prices were reasonable. I will definitely be back.

I've always heard about Zianos but we have never been. We had planned on one of our favorite…read moreItalian restaurants for our late Valentines dinner but it was not open. So... we decided to try Zianos. Located in the end of a strip mall, I was a little surprised at the appearance. While clean, it's not a romantic atmosphere at all. Not what we were hoping for but it wasn't too busy, so we at least had a quieter meal. Elizabeth was our server and she was very kind. We ordered breadsticks (at 99 cents per order), and some meatballs for an appetizer. The breadsticks were so good... we ordered the second round. Perfect. Definitely the highlight of the meal. The meatballs were also good. For our main dish, we both ordered the Chicken Marsala. We love a great chicken Marsala. This was different than any we have had. The sauce was thicker than what we are accustomed to having but the taste was pretty good. All in all, the food was good for a fair price. Our server was a little zealous at one point, removing a dish before we were finished, but she did give us two coupons.... For one order of free breadsticks. That should make up for it... Would we go back? Yeah. Does it compare to our favorite local Italian restaurant? Not really. If we were ever back in Fort Wayne again on a Monday when our restaurant is closed, that would be the day we would go.

Good ole pizzeria in Garrett…read more.. We've seen a lot of press about CP lately, so the ole ball and chain wanted to give it a Go... Good pizza. It's kind of light, fluffy, and crispy all in one. I really liked their red sauce and they load the pizzas up with toppings. Our bill was $60 for two pies (we brought home one of them because those suckers are yuuuuge), a house salad, and two local crafties... That's a win in today's restaurant price gouging world. The restaurant itself is rather plain looking, but it's clean and the service was good... While I don't think CP is on the same level as Oley's, 800 Degrees, or Three Fires, we'll come back because it's respectable pizza. Dave Portnoy 7.7

Coterie Pizza (hwy 327, Garrett, Indiana) - for delicious stone fired pizza and relaxed/casual…read moredining We made a return trip to Coterie after a 3 year absence. Coterie is easy to find. Head north on 327...about 15 minutes north of Dupont Road. They are located in a strip mall, just as you get into town, on the west side of the road. There is plenty of easy-access parking. The restaurant is smaller as it holds about 50 people. It can be busy. There are ample tables for 4 people and some for parties of 8-10 people. The menu is fairly small with only 8 specialty pizzas. Only two items on the appetizer menu - the beer cheese is a MUST try. The pizzas seem pretty reasonable priced for a 12 inch stone fired pizza - $13.45. Coterie has self serve beverage service. You can choose from one of five local beers - and pay by the ounce. Or you can fill up your cup at the soda/tea center. The team here is very friendly and helpful. They all work hard to make sure you have a good customer experience - which we did! Plenty of kitchen help to keep the food rolling..especially at peak diner time! Here is a run down on the items we ordered: -Caprese salad: smaller dish for $5.99. All cherry tomatoes and basil were very fresh and cool to taste. The mozzarella cheese and toppings blended well with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar flavors. Easy to share. -Beer Cheese ($6.99): a layer of pizza dough rolled out thin and baked to a slightly chewy texture. The dough has a slight garlicky flavor and cut into nice sized shareable pieces. The beer cheese is smooth, creamy and dreamy! You get hints of beer amongst the mild cheese flavors. The sauce is a bit thin and simply addicting! -Chicken bruschetta pizza: The golden brown crust is a little tough as it is well baked but still chewable. No special flavors are added to the crust. The bottom was soft and white. The chicken bruschetta is not your typical pizza creation. The tomato sauce was rather thin and only added a mild tomato taste zip. The chicken was tender and picked up the flavors that surrounded it nicely. The cherry tomatoes and basil toppings were very fresh and tasty. They blended really well with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar drizzles. The fresh mozzarella cheese was sprinkled in enough to help hold all the toppings in place. If you liked the Coterie Caprese salad...you would really like the chicken bruschetta pizza!
