LOVE the cheese steaks and onion rings! This is a favorite stop when we travel between MD and Douglasville, PA. The cheese steaks are served on pizza dough rolls that are phenomenally good, and the sandwich is otherwise very much in the Philadelphia tradition. We discovered this place before having to give up gluten, and we still go back: it's worth the consequences of "cheating" on our GF diet - it's THAT good! The onion rings have just the right ratio of batter to onion and are cooked to perfection. Service is always friendly. Highly recommended. read more

Dined at Rufino's today and tried their cheesesteak. They were served in a bun not in a sub that you see elsewhere i.e. Charlie's or like purchased from a grocery. Tasted very good. read more

My family and I really love Ruffinos! The Italian sandwich is soooo good. Their bread is homemade in house I believe and it's warm, fresh and delicious. They are generous with the meat and cheese and it's a really fantastic sandwich. The pizza is also great!! It's legit some of my favorite pizza. The dough and the sauce they tastes so good and unique, like nothing else I've had. There are some misses here... the burger comes on their homemade bread and so that's just a bit odd. I want their chicken Caesar wrap to be better than it is. It's like a 6/10 but if it was stuffed with fried chicken then it would be 10/10. But overall, this is a great small business to support. read more

Their pizzas are great. Never been disappointed with any order. Very nice people to deal with.

Good service. Good food. It's what I think of when I think of a Lancaster Italian pizza place. Never had a bad meal here. Lunch specials are hard to beat. read more

We enjoyed our pizzas...the white pie and a pepperoni with extra cheese. They both were delicious, and we will be back for more soon.

Ever since moving to the Lanc area, I have been driving past this spot for 2 years until now. I came across this while searching for pizza on Yelp. All the reviews seemed positive so we gave this place a go. Restaurant- As I was in and out to briefly pick up the pie. I noticed the inside was very neat and tidy. The staff was friendly and attentive. Pizza- Everything about this pie was excellent! The pie wasn't greasy, it wasn't floppy / messy, could maybe use a tad more sauce, the crust had just enough crunch, a little doughy, and the overall taste was out of this world! Cause I'm hooked on the Barstool pizza reviews, I'll give this a review similar to that.. this pizza earns a solid score of a 6.8 read more

Ruffinos was a welcome spot during our travels this weekend. We were looking for a good pizza and sub spot to pick up some food and take back to our hotel. The pizza was great, not floppy, good crust. The subs were fresh and tasty. The reason I give Ruffinos a five is the value. The prices and quality cannot be beat in the area. I will be back for sure! read more

Good food and good service will try other items when in area pass threw this area plenty of parking shopping center read more

Ordered burger plain w/ fries, plain fish sandwich w/ fries, 24 mild wings, moss sticks and their special cheese steak. What we got: Cheeseburger, no fries- specifically asked for just meat and bun, child can't eat dairy Plain fish sandwich had cheese...I assume that's what plain means 24 BBQ wings Special steak missing mayo (requested), peppers and the sauce...specifically why I ordered it. Not sure if it was an off night to get that many things wrong or simply no one was checking the bags. Just wanted you to know. read more

I've been here twice now and the pizza was awesome! A good place to check out if you're not into chain pizza places.

I love this place. It's not a spectacular environment. The outside is no different than any other "Mom and Pop" pizza place in the world and the inside is the same. But, their pizza and strombolis are very good. The pizza dough is a little on the sweet side but it is very good. I go there frequently. If you're someone who thinks that "There's just something about local pizza places that is better than chain pizza restaurants." Then this is the place for you. The other thing that makes the place stand out is the service. Every time I have ever been there (afternoon or evening), they have been extremely friendly and helpful. These are the kind of people you would likely do business with even if their food wasn't the best. Their food quality is excellent. Their prices are reasonable. The service is far better than most "order at the counter" restaurants. I would definitely recommend Ruffino's. read more

I love pizza...most of the time. this place has terrible pizza. ordered a veggie pizza for take out and it had canned mushrooms!! the sauce was salty and the crust was tasteless. never again and don't waste your time either. read more

Second time there and they are our new go to pizzeria sandwich stop! Very friend and very good food. I just ordered their chicken Caesar wrap and I think it's the best sandwich I ever had! read more

Read the reviews and walked over from our hotel the other night to grab dinner. Food is fantastic- decor is strip-mall-esk. Really nice staff! I had the best cheesesteak ever, and hubby had the stuffed meat pizza. It's a good thing we aren't local, we'd be there several times a week! read more

Ruffino's pizza and pasta is my go-to pizza place. It's run by the matriarch of the Ruffino family, and her sons. They are all great. They've always been a joy to talk to. The pizza is my favorite in the area. My friends and I used to eat here all the time, and then we'd walk over to friendly's for dessert. Eaten here recently and it's as great as always. The price is fair and the food is good quality. Definitely worth stopping by. read more

Went here last week with my husband and daughter for a quick dinner while visiting Lancaster. I wasn't feeling well and we were staying at a nearby hotel and wanted to run out for a quick bite to eat and then get back to the hotel and relax for the evening. We weren't in the mood for the more typical Lancaster food so we stopped in here. We ordered a medium pizza with pepperoni and lasagna (really ordered the lasagna for our daughter). The pizza was tasty, nothing spectacular but the crust was pretty good. The lasagna was pretty bland (and so hot it was actually a little ridiculous - took like 15 minutes to cool to enough to eat after cutting into it). My daughter seemed to like it though (although she is a toddler and not very picky) so maybe it just was just my husband and I. The salad that came with the lasagna was pretty pathetic - iceberg lettuce with a few sliced white onions, two tomato slices and oregano. Really? Not exactly my idea of a salad. The bread that came with the lasagna was ok but didn't taste very fresh. They also didn't serve iced tea (fresh iced tea not in a can) so that was dissapointing. The service was good though, very friendly and we would possibly go back if we just wanted a slice of pizza the next time we are in the area. read more

I stay at a nearby hotel every other week and have been here 2 times now. I love the wings. Nothing crazy just regular unbreaded and perfectly cooked. Crispy on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside. Just a solid go to wing. Tried the pizza tonight. Being from Jersey I'm always skeptical of pizza outside of NY and NJ. This was very good. The service is tremendous...like you're at an extended family members house. Two reasons I did not rate a 5... I have only had the wings and the pizza. Normally I don't like to judge pizza that is warmed up. I prefer it fresh from the oven but dining alone I went the way of the slice. Next time I will bring others so that I can try several other items. read more

Friendly staff, cheap prices, large servings and great food. Ordered the cheeseburger sub and side of fries; it was enough for two people. The bread was excellent! Will comeback! read more

Ruffino's Pizza & Pasta - Cheeseburger sub & fries - Pizza Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Not bad..not great, but not bad.. ---------- FOOD: I got a 10" pizza with mushrooms to go. It really wasnt all the bad, but its certainly not the greatest pizza Ive ever had. A little on the crunchy side if anything.. DECOR: Its a pizza shop. Plastic tables, glass counter with pizzas behind it, soda fountain.. SERVICE: Good. They waited on me right away. It took about 15 mins for my pizza and they take credit cards. ---------- FINAL THOUGHTS: Would I go back? Sure, but cafe east is in the same shopping center, so unless they are closed.. probably not. read more

Have been buying from Ruffino's for yrs. Pizza is VERY good and is a great family owned establishment. Deliver to our house prob once a week. Look for coupons online and to do business with family owned business. read more

One of our kids brought us a Tuna sub today, said she had been going here for 15 years. I understand why, delicious homemade rolls, delicious! I hear service is awesome, prices reasonable & mine is online. I will check it out. read more

The only other place I've had eggplant parm this good was at an old school mom & pop deli in Hoboken. It's so good I froze my leftovers and brought it on the plane back to Colorado. Owner is a good dude. read more

Highly recommend. Delicious calzones and the best turkey sub I've ever had. The bread is so fresh. Hadn't been to Ruffino's in about 15 years after moving out of the area but broke that streak this evening. Everything was just as I remembered. Awesome. Will definitely be coming back for more. It's family businesses like this that make me happy about life. read more

The pizza is the best and the owner is one of the sweetest people in the world! Highly recommend!

I have been going here for 10 years now and this place makes the best subs in Lancaster hands down. Their homemade fresh baked rolls are so good! way better than the generic rolls at most shops or the Subway "crap on top" rolls. I love the Italian sub because they use thick cut meats and if you ask they will toast it for awesome! Ruffino's foods I love: Chicken Parmesan sub (to order ask for a "Chicken Pam" or "Chicken Pom") Cheese Steak sub Italian sub (toasted) Ham and Cheese Stromboli Try any of these and if you don't like it I will be shocked. When I walk in they're all like "Hey Ben", just like Cheers. read more

Ruffino's Pizza is the greatest pizza,sandwich and pasta restaurant I have ever been too! Linda (the lady in charge)is the nicest,sweetest mother in the world and her sun is nice to.Every time I walk in there Linda always asks me how I am doing,how I've been and how my dad has been she says she works works a lot and dose not get many days off since she needs to work a lot but in my opinion she deserves better than that.They are among the nicest people I've ever known. The food on the other hand is amazing! The ham sandwiches are delicious and every bite you take out of the fries are savoring! So if your like me you want good food,good service,great prices,nice people and a cozy place to eat (especially on a cold snowy day or night)than this is the greatest,coziest nicest pizza,sandwich,pasta restaurant in the world! read more

Really good mini Stromboli and pizza. I went to this pizza shop for the first time a few months ago. I have been back and have taken others with me. After our last experience I will probably not return. The guys that work there are so very rude. Terrible service and they are mean and grouchy. My nephew was very offended by the way in which they treat people. It's not the customers fault if you're under staffed. I don't mind waiting at all but if the woman isn't there don't go in!!!! read more

Tried it one night, had to go back the next night. Calzone, perfect and huge. WINGS, perfect. Italian sub, perfect. If I'm ever back in the area I will be back. This is definitely a hidden gem. read more

So, the atmosphere isn't perfect. As a previous reviewer said, it looks like any other mom and pop shop. The food is delicious though in my opinion, and the family that works there.... so incredibly kind. I am not quite a regukar but do pop in quite a bit here and there. They have gotten to know me and my mother and are just absolutely lovely people. read more

Went for lunch. Ordered 2 slice special. Served obvious day-old pizza. There's no excuse for this. Avoid.

Very good food, great service, and family owned highly recommend this place they have the best Strombolian around!

Super fast service, my order was done perfectly! Ordered the cheese steak sandwich and wow definitely well worth it, I highly recommend it and I'm very picky! read more

Regular pizza was good. Sicilian pizza dough was very sweet. They charge a lot for their items. An order of fries were expensive compared to only a handful they give you. Friendly staff though read more

I don't normally write reviews, but after seeing some of the negative reviews here, I had to say something. Ruffino's pizza is the best around...and we have tried many places! The sandwiches are made on freshly made bread and are really good. read more

I've been going to Rufino's ever since I was little. Best pizza in the area and the staff is always friendly! I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Ordered for the first time last night. First I was happy that they delivered, so many of the "mom & Pop" type pizza places around here don't deliver, which is such a bummer. Anyways...We ordered 2 pizzas, boneless wings & a cheesesteak. The pizza was good, the only thing I would say it could be cooked a little longer, but my entire family liked it. The wings were not good, very spicy for mild and they were a little overdone. The cheesesteak was delicious and I'm really picky about cheesesteaks, really good!!!! Delivery guy was super nice too...Will definitely order from them again and would recommend to others!!! read more

Good, fresh pizza! While they use paper plates and cheap plastic silverware, the food makes up for it. I'm happy to support a local business! read more

Had the meat stuffed pizza today for lunch. This was by no means a healthy life choice, but it was yummy. The owner, Linda, was quite pleasant to talk with as well. I expect I will be visiting her again. read more

Family run business. They make you feel right at home and take the time to make you feel like you matter! They make their own bread and it is great! Good Value! read more
