I've tried their signature The Melrose, which consists of black forest ham, oven roasted turkey, bacon, melted White American cheese, topped with house slaw (lettuce, red onions, pepperoncini tossed in their "Melrose" spread) and tomato. I absolutely love this sandwich!! It's packed with so much flavor, and the bun absorbs all of the juicy goodness, making every bite incredibly satisfying. Runner-up for me is the Uncle Nikki. This one has Genoa salami, pepperoni, capicola, provolone cheese, also topped with their house slaw. I've only ordered from here through Postmates, and every time their packaging is excellent--they wrap each sandwich in this cute wrapper, which adds a fun touch and keeps everything neatly intact and fresh by the time it arrives. Each sandwich is around $12 (as of June 2026), and I honestly think it's worth the price because these sandwiches are huge and so good!!

As a Pescatarian it's hard to find salmon at Mediterranean food places and Green Olive had several plates to choose salmon and shrimp. I ordered their Salmon Kabob plate that came with yummy rice, a salad, hummus and a pita. It was served with a garlic white sauce and a green slightly spicy sauce. I drizzled both on the kabobs and rice and everything blended perfectly. The salmon was seasoned so well and was so tender! It was perfectly cooked because it retained the softness salmon needs. I also got a pistachio cheesecake that was so light and delicious without being overly sweet. It was a perfect ending to an amazing food plate.

I went to pizza time yesterday.... This is my 3rd time here :) in a short time this place has become one of my favorite... I live 20 min. Away but I don't care driving the extra miles. They have great specials through out the week, so make sure to ask what they have going on. Yesterday I got the (family deal) which included a large pizza w/ 2 toppings your choice of 2 pastas, 2salads, 2garlic breads n 2 drinks for only 26.99 wowwwww I couldn't believe it :D I felt like I was ripping them off. Everything was DELICIOUS... What else can I say that hasn't already been mentioned, the place is spotless & the service is great....another thing I don't think this place deserves 3* it has everything to be a 5* restaurant the food, service, the A (health code)..... (Sometimes people come in with an attitude and then they write a bad review :(..... Like yesterday a "lady"came in while I was waiting for my order and she had a lousy attitude the gentlemen who approached her keep his coolness, I give him a lot of proves I don't think I could have handle it that well. I know they say that the costumer is always right I don't usually agree and I think restaurants shouldn't be grade by lousy people that don't have any manners an act really bossy :( you have to be a lady/gentleman and have respect. You have to teat people the way you want to be teated. read more

This place has good food that is true but going in to order is like taking a trip through the gang related side of town. The employee at the cash register who is increasingly adding tattoos on himself is quiet intimidating and appears to want a confrontation from all who visit. It is a scary place to visit unless you feel like getting into a bad situation. I decided to make phone orders as opposed to going in and the same person answered the phone and was making me repeat myself and feigning that he could not understand my order. I guess that he is the owner or the owners son who has no fear of being fired. If were not for this individual I would bet that this place would get some very good business. P.s. I just read the review below of the suspected debit from the same individual. I do not doubt it. Such a shame . . . read more

The 5stat rating is based on the quality of the pizza and the great toppings! It's started before I could even get any flavors in my mouth just by looking at this pizza, it had melting cheese with generously toppings. From the first bite of that soft pizza dough, I bit into a whole other level.haven't had any thing better than this. Our pizza had mushroom,onion,jalapeno, bacon complete harmony of flavor and texture basically one of the greatest pizza i've ever consumed Honestly my experience Here far exceeded. my expectations. I have tried a lot of pizza in my lifetime from the best to the one not worthy of being served at a high school cafetiria. Any ways I really love this pizza and I highly Recommend! !! read more

I had this place bookmarked literally for years, had been wanting to try their Pastrami Pizza. Like all ny reviews, it is unfiltered non-bias based in just the food. I assume most of these reviews are from locals with nostalgia vibes that grew up eating here? Came in on a weekday for work lunch, right around noon. At one point was the only customer waiting for their pick-up order. Girl at the register was nice, paid for my phone to-go order and waited about 5-10min over the original ETA pick up time. I ordered the Pastrami Pizza, was sooo disappointed. Taste was off, it was cheezy, just lacks character. The pickles and mustard did not save it. Maybe its the low quality pastrami they use, or the way the pastrami is prepared? Couldnt figure it out. Now the wings. Not good. Dry, lack seasoning, lack flavor. Ranch was decent, the watered down but yummy kind you get form Tams or hood burgers. This place has been around for a while, maybe surviving in their usual customers? Not sure.
