We had a nice lunch here. They have a few lunch specials -- some bowls and a few others. You have look closely at the small box on the lower left corner for the sub and pizza lunch ones, though. We each decided to choose an 8" sub and soda lunch special. The sodas are one of their canned varieties. There are several subs from which to choose that are included. I had their chicken parm sub. It had a lot of tomato sauce on the breaded chicken patty. I liked that the hoagie roll was toasted but it got a tad soggy from the sauce. My husband's sub was the better of the two -- he had their Italian sub with lettuce, tomato, and onion. There were a couple meats and a cheese. Some Italian dressing was served on the side to be added as desired. His hoagie roll was also toasted. We got to chat with the woman owner -- who was a one person band. She waited on us and prepared our food. She was quite friendly and personable. Her other half was doing a pizza delivery. They have about five tables inside and several other tables on part of the shared outside patio. They are next to Starbucks. You enter the restaurant through the back door. There is parking in the lot behind. They do a lot of takeout and delivery. They've been at this location about 4 years, but used to be located near the pompano main post office. I'm glad we came and tried them. read more

We had lunch at this location which is close to home and to errand destinations today. We both looked at the menu and found Lunch Specials in the lower left corner of the printed menu. (Note: If you order a beverage, they bring a bottle of soda, which is NOT the soda that is paired in the Lunch Specials. A smaller can soda is the one paired with the specials. Luckily I asked about the soda and they took the larger unopened bottles back and brought us cans.) I had a $7.99 Italian sub which was good and my wife had a $7.99 Chicken Parmigiana sub which she said was soggy. When we were finished and the bill was brought to the table it simply read $18.00 ... No detail, just $18.00. ($7.99 + $7.99 = $15.98 if you add 12.5% you get the $18.00 ... are they in a special taxing district or what?) read more

Worth a stop! We found this place by accident when looking for a different restaurant and we were very pleasantly surprised. The thin crust pizzas are great. They also have thick crust, hand tossed, and even Detroit style, but those are for a future visit. We ordered one veggie pizza and an anchovy pizza. Both pizzas had generous amounts of toppings. All veggies are hand cut by the owner each day. The sauces for the pizza and for the pastas are rich and also homemade. The lasagna with garlic bread is also outstanding. We talked with the owners who both immigrated to the USA and opened their restaurant about 18 years ago. Really great people... a true "mom and pop," operation and a local treat worthy of support. read more

Valentino's is more of a pizza place than it is an Italian restaurant though it does have some rather good selection of Italian dinners, all reasonably priced. I had their Veal Francaise while others had their pizza. To my surprise, the veal was indeed properly prepared, tender, nicely breaded and with a good lemony zesty flavor. My dinning companions were also pleased with their pizza, but I have to disagree with my fellow Yelper in that Valentino's is far, far distant from being a Five Star Italian dinning experience. It's a relatively new place but a sort of hole in the wall stuck in between a Starbucks and close by surf shop. It offers a rather plan, exceedingly simple lacking in décor indoor dinning, a couple of televisions, some old background music of long departed Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra and an outdoor patio type of seating some with rather uncomfortable concrete seats, typical Cizanno styled umbrellas and a view of South Federal Highway along with its annoying traffic sound effects. For food at the price they are offering it, it's OK, Three Stars, but for ambiance, Two; overall I guess I can go three, but in an area with so many Italian dinning and pizza choices, I'd say that there are better alternatives. read more

This is our absolute favorite pizza place! We drive 30 minutes each way to go hear, and it's always worthwhile. We've been ordering their thin & crispy pizzas for 20 years, and started ordering from them after trying a sample of their pizza at a work event. We were hooked! Never had thin and crispy pizza that's so good - perfect crust, wonderful sauce, quality cheese. We started buying pizzas when they were Jetts, then they changed the name to Rocket Pizza, and moved to Valentino's a few years back. We love the new location - very comfortable. The couple that owns the place is so nice. It doesn't matter if it's been six months since I've been there, the lady owner immediately recognizes me, and remembers what we order! They're just super nice people, and we're happy to patronize them. The thin pizza is not cheap - $30 for two - and since they're so thin, they go waaaaay to fast. We wish they were a little less expensive, especially since they aren't nearly as filling as the thicker pizzas... but, we enjoy them so much, we pay the price, just not as often as we'd like, read more

I just picked up a perfect tasting pizza from Rocket Pizza. When I called it in I asked for no salt to be added because someone complained in a review about the salt. The friendly owner advised me he doesn't use salt ( I take reviews with a grain of salt) - Rocket Pizza definitely better than the national brands and there is a hands on owner there who cares. read more

Best pizza I've had in quite some time. Ordered a deep dish Buffalo Chicken, and a hand tossed Hawaiian. Both were very good, but the Buffalo was phenomenal. Sorry, didn't take pictures, was over too fast. Only issue was they could've given us more Bleu cheese dressing for the pizza, but we had some at home, so no biggie.. read more

The meatball sub was delicious, freshly made to order, and perfectly crusty on the outside and melted inside. Prices were affordable too. The inside cafe isn't the best ambiance, but I recommend it for takeout, delivery, or a quick bite on the run (just call in your order ahead, because the hot subs are made to order)! read more

I've been ordering food here from the old and new location. I've always been treated well and with good service. The food has been appropriate for the price and has always been tasty.

While this pizza may not be the best in the world or the nation.. it CERTAINLY is the best in pompano beach. And let me tell you I am a pizza connoisseur. I pride myself in finding the best pizza around me at all times and I have found it. Can only speak to the pizza here, oh and garlic rolls those are amazing too.. deep dish CHECK! Hand tossed CHECK. read more

This is my favorite pizza place hands down in the area. The crust is always crispy and the sauce is so amazing. The pizzas are made with good quality ingredients. I always order delivery. They are a little pricey but honestly for its quality it's well worth it. When I want to order a pizza this is my go to spot! Now after all that bragging on the pizza I must be honest and say I do not like the garlic knots. It always comes too greasy and oily and it's just un-edible for me. I tried them out two separate times and it's was consistently GROSS both times. With that said, it's not a deal breaker for me and I will still give this place 5 stars given how much I love the pizza. read more

Sick and tired of this establishment's poor service & terrible telephone attitude. This is the second time we have received the wrong order for takeout & the food that was sent instead was downright deplorable. The garlic rolls still had raw dough inside, as shown in the picture; the meatballs were burnt & bland; the penne a la vodka (which was supposed to be penne a la vodka roma - with bacon in a creamy pink sauce) looked like baked ziti & tasted as though somebody poured a bottle of cheap vodka over soggy pasta and lit it on fire. Run, don't walk & head over to Zuckerello's on Commercial Blvd, if you're looking for quality Italian. This place is a disgrace. read more

ordered chicken francese which is an easy dish. I've worked in restaurants growing up its. ot hard to make. . this chicken francese had no lemon and what appeared to be milk in the pan with the chicken and ziti. it was gross. my wife said return it we had picked it up I just threw it out what a waste of money I wasnt spending anymore time to go back and argue with the guy. when it was valentinos I ordered the ziti with the ricotta cheese I was giving a plate of ziti and sauce . I told the lady who served us "wheres the ricotta cheese that goes with this ??"" she replied ; maybe it melted??? are these people stupid be cause they think the customers are and being a new yorker ricotta doesnt melt away to nothing. Dont waste your time or money. sorry guys... read more

Came here when all the water was shut off in Fort Lauderdale. Was one of the first restaurants I spotted north of the affected area. Something about a small place like Rocket @ Valentino's that makes you feel like you're in a simpler time that never really existed. Or maybe it was the kind, chatty, welcoming woman doing literally everything on her own from pizza maker to cashier. She was probably my favorite part, treated everyone in the place like close family. The whole experience was relaxed, easy, no frills, comfortable. Loved my meatball sub, the fries were perfect, and I have to say that tiramisu was off the chain. Def recommend this place for the real deal small business feel. Lots of seating, especially outside. Fantastic lunch specials. Positive vibes. read more

I was skeptical of this place even though it's been down the street from me for a while. I bit the bullet and ordered today. I have just had an amazing pizza experience. I like pizza with some girth on it, so I ordered the Sicilian with mushrooms and green peppers. When the delivery guy came, it was a really heavy box...always a good sign. I cracked open the box and it was still nuclear hot. What was nice was there was a small garlic knot right in the middle of the pizza. It seemed like it was there instead of that little plastic thing, so points for creativity! I dug out a corner piece and bit in, immediately noticing the crispiness of the crust underneath. Sometimes, when you get a Sicilian, it's too "bready", but this wasn't anything like that. The crust almost reminded me of puff pastry with the way it sort of crunched and melted at the same time. Sometimes, pizza places are kind of chintzy with the cheese and toppings, but that's not the case here. I was considering extra cheese and I'm glad I didn't do it! Any more cheese on here would have been a complete mess. The peppers still had a bit of resistance to them and the mushrooms were neither too dry or soggy. I've ordered Sicilian from places before, and I get that the sauce is a little different than normal pizza. This place hit it spot on, nailing that perfect balance between tangy and slightly sweet. I was really happy with this pizza and I'm sorry I waited so long to order from them. I'll definitely be ordering again. read more

Wow, this place is great and went straight to my top 5 places to eat in South Florida. To start, the place is cool, very nicely decorated. Sophisticated yet warm. They have a great bar and liquor selection. The open kitchen is huge and amazingly well done. The place was packed on a regular weekday night - but everything was executed flawlessly. The good stuff: ...Fantastic bar ...Very well trained staff, good service all around ...Excellent bread - nice assortment ...Great grilled octopus ...Pasta tastes like it was just made - it might have been ...Fish was all fresh Parking is really easy and if you drink too much you can just call Red Cap - it is right next door. This would be a perfect place for a romantic dinner or just a casual meal with friends. Highly recommended... and happy to give it 5 stars! read more

OK. My wife and I are on the way home from a date and we decide that we are hungry. We call the place at approx. 11:35 and get off the phone at 11:40 p.m. we ordered a medium pizza and garlic rolls for delivery. We were told it would be at our house in 30 minutes. That should be 12:10am... At 12:30 we call them back and say, "hey what's going on?" the guy on the other side says, " oh yea I got distracted and your pizza got burned so I just put another one in, it should be done in 7 minutes." So with it taking another 7 minutes to cook and another 15 to drive to deliver it the pizza would have been about 45 minutes late. We just said forget about it we don't want it anymore. The guy just said OK and hung up the phone. So the food might be good, but the service was so horrendous we never even got to try it. I will never call them back. read more

Look further, I did a quick search for best pizza delivery in 33062. What a mistake, tough crust with slightly good flavor, Santa margarita pie in small was tasteless, not cut through and less than Ok. I live less than 3 miles from business and came less than warm. $15.00 for a small pie is out of this world, Anthony's pick up is 100 times better, Vito's delivery is much better tasting. Pass, go with what is tried and true, these people must have quite a few friends to get a rating like this, not an exaggeration, should you order, I warned you... read more
