If you love New York style, or if you just love good pizza, give this spot a try. A cool little take out spot, with a few guys throwing down on great pies behind the counter. The pie was executed perfectly and the guys behind the counter were great. I wish it was just a little bit warmer but the time we got home with it, but such is life. We did the cupping pepperoni with hot honey on one half. Just out the honey on the whole pie, it balanced out all the other flavors perfectly. Crispy bottom with a nice chewy, strong and glutenous dough. Honestly, what's not to love?!

Well we weren't sure what to expect. Not a big parking lot and the building was a little run down…read more Not too busy either for a Friday evening. Hours are like 4-8 pm Tuesday through Saturday. This is family owned and has been around for about 50 years. The inside is like a flash back to the early 90s decor. A ton of Knick Knacks hanging everywhere. MS Pac-Man and hardly and not the tables seemed the same. The place was spotless clean. All this stuff hanging up and not a speck of dust. Now to the food. I guess it's known for its thin cracker crust. We tried the royal supreme. Large was $15. I am so disappointed this was my first time here. This pizza was fabulous. Even though this pizza was loaded with meats, veggies and cheese it didn't flop. Every bite there was an audible crunch. It immediately ties in top three pizza in town. Right up there with ilazzorne and Pizza Tassio. Very nice owner. It was sad to see that it wasn't busy on a Friday and on the way home we passed Pizza Hut and it was packed. Just ridiculous. Pizza Hut freaking sucks compared to a place like this. Please try this out for at least carry out. You won't be disappointed. Support local.

I travel to St. Joseph for work at least three times a year and I come here every single time. Have…read morebeen doing it for years. After today I won't be coming back. My work colleagues and I got sat and were informed of a long wait as there was only one server - cool. No problem. It happens. We are sitting about 20 minutes when a table of 8 gets sat next to us. The cook immediately came from behind the counter to bring water for them. We were still sitting there with nothing. Our server came over - apologized and got our orders and brought out our drinks. Our salads came out and all was well. Then we waited and waited. We were informed that one of the potato pizzas we ordered couldn't be made because they were out of potatoes. No big deal. We changed the order. Then the group next us - who came in 20 minutes after us and ordered after us all got served their pizzas(including a few potato pizzas). While we waited and was not served. Finally realizing that our diverse group of 5 was being shafted for the very non-diverse group of 8 we asked for our pizzas to go and we left. So if the intention of Il Lazzarone was to make us feel sidelined and "othered" - congratulations. Job well done. Because we left there being reminded of just how how bigotry feels. The pizzas was still great in my hotel room. But you will never see a recommendation from me or dime of my money again.

We were driving through St Joe and the request from the back seat was for pizza for lunch. I…read moresearched reviews and we decided to give Il Lazzarone in downtown a try. It wasn't far at all from I-29 and we were not disappointed. We were greeted by Courtney upon entering the business, quickly and thoughtfully seated in a quiet corner away from the potential drafts of the front door as it was cold outside. Her suggestions were spot on and we had the Ceaser Salad and Bruschetta to start. Healthy portions and fresh ingredients for sure. Then we had two pizzas and it was perfect considering we had a couple of big eaters and we were hungry. Prices are fair and reasonable for the quality and quantity. Plenty of parking off street, nice people, clean and hospitable. I highly recommend Il Lazzarone and we will be back the next time in the area.

my last review mentioned that the next time i would be in town would head over to the truck…read more thought he would not be open, but surprise to see he was. my friend, lost Linda (chuck will know) called and he said what time he would be ready for us to pick up the pizza. we went by a bit early and had a nice chat while we were there. the pizza was everything i was told about--the crust is a bit softer than what you would think, but it is damn good. his sauce is sweet and spicy at the same time--fantastic balance between the two. and we just got a plain sausage--and i am impressed with the amount of sausage on the pizza--no skimping on it--thank you. it is a pleasure to go get dinner, and have a nice time in doing it--Chuck, we definitely will be back.

We messaged him and ordered ahead of time as it does take 25 minutes for the pizza to be prepared to order and cooked. It's good pizza with loads of cheese! I love the sweet and tasty sauce that has just a hint of spice. We got our thin crust pizza with all the meats. The meat made my hubby happy. The cheese made me happy. The crust and sauce made us both happy. Support small, local businesses!

Wish we had just one more piece of garlic bread to eat with it! It was exactly what I was expecting. The pasta carbonara had a nice meaty flavor throughout from the guanciale. My husband loves meat so he added an Italian sausage which it really did not need. But I'm glad he did because the piece I stole from his plate was amazing with the tastiest char. I want to go back just for a side of Italian sausage. As for the wood fired lasagna... it was good. I saw reviews where people said it was the best they've ever had. I can't say the same. When the description says sweet marinara or sweet red sauce, believe the sweet part. This sauce is SWEET. It's definitely oriented for those who eat and love a lot of sugar. I personally think if it had a splash of béchamel on top to counterbalance the sweetness, it would be better, but that would totally change the dish. I'd DEFINITELY try their white lasagna anytime if they ever have that on special. The pistachio butter Panuozzo Dolce is pretty much exactly how it looks. Think of the pistachio butter just like peanut butter in texture. It's just green instead of brown, and tastes of pistachios instead of peanuts. It's wood fired dough and the pistachio butter. I think it needs some whipped cream on top to jazz it up. I'll try the tiramisu next time! I appreciate the decent priced bottles of wine. One thought on the decor (which is pretty cool), is that it would be really nice for those patrons sitting facing the big black wall, hanging some big black framed mirrors would be fabulous so we have something to look at besides our table mates. We will be back.
