Zappitelli's Pizza - Stuffed Chicken Parm - Pizza Near Me - Mentor, Ohio

Food is excellent. We need a Zappitellis in the Orange, Solon area. Mentor is far for us to go but it's worth the ride in good weather

I really like this place. It is a nice lil family joint where you can go get a nice dinner. You will have enough left overs for lunch and dinner the next day too. Chicken Parmesan is about $16. I particularly like the sauce and usually end up buying a quart or two to take home and freeze for later. Wait staff are usually high school girls and MOST of the time they are pleasant and do a good job. Sometimes you get one that is too busy doing everything else but her job. They also have a case of desserts like eclairs and such, I've never had one but it looks pretty good. read more

Definitely try out Zappitelli's if you're in the mood for a huge plate of Italian home cooking. The bread and salads that come with the entrees are pretty good, and always come out quickly. I always get the Eggplant Rollitinis, which is considered a special, but always offered when I visit. The portion is so large that my boyfriend and I always split it...yet I always have enough that I have to box it up. I'm a vegetarian, so I'm kind of bummed that they don't offer more options. read more

Best Italian food out there, service is great, can never go wrong with the Alfredo. Also prices are good and portions are huge, there will always be something to take home and enjoy later. read more

This was my first visit here. We stopped because of all the positive Yelp reviews. First, our server was very sweet and nice. My boyfriend and I got the antipasti salad for two with the house dressing. It was enough salad for four!! I'm sorry I didn't take a picture of it, we just dug right in when it came. The bread that was brought to the table was warm and fresh and the size of a hamburger bun. We ordered chicken parm with homemade spaghetti and a small white pizza to share. Holy cow, it was a ton of food and it was all delicious. We had enough left over for a whole other meal. read more

Horrible waitress! :( My family has been going to Zappitelli's for years and love their food. They have catered events for us & have always done a wonderful job. Tonight we had the misfortune of having the same horrible waitress we had the last time we were there. I've been in the restaurant business my whole life and a restaurant owner also. My first experience with this waitress I thought she was just having a off day & could be new at the job-maybe didn't have the temperament to be a server. Today confirmed she dose not have the temperament or the skills to be a server. Definitely doesn't belong in the arena of a restaurant and it's fast pace. She clearly couldn't keep up & was extremely rude. In my book You are always give someone a second chance... she had hers and she flunked! Other than this one waitress we love the staff at Zappitelli's and think the world of them. Why they keep this woman in a wait staff position is beyond me...she has no business in the front of the house. I believe everybody shines at something and hope this waitress finds a job she is happier with. I will go back to Zapatilla but I will refuse to be served by this woman. read more

Yum, my joint in mentor if I am in hiding I am probably here laying low, the meatball pizza is good and they get it!! They focus on the bread!! The way it is supposed to be done. read more

Great food. We ordered the lasagna, a pizza, and a salad to go. We will definitely drive from Chesterland to Mentor for this food. Highly recommended. read more

There is two other booths with people so it's pretty empty today. Been without a refill for about 25 mins. Both ladies who are waitressing have been out of sight the whole time. When we see them they are just walking back and forth. The cook from the back had to hallor at them To bring out food. the girl who brought it out didn't know where it went and still didn't bother with a refill. Let's just say I won't be back. read more

The first time I ordered from here I got a pizza with double cheese and pepperoni.i like my pizza cheesy but it might have been a little to much cheese. I went there again a few weeks later and got regular cheese and pepperoni and that was better.my wife had the meatball sub and said the meatballs were some of the best she ever had.she would have liked to have a cup of sauce on the side to did the sub in because it could have used a little more sauce read more

Stupidly good with enormous portions. The veal parm is insane and a great value; two adults could split it.

Low key relaxed family italian restaurant. I had the lasagna which was excellent. Easily enough for two hungry adults. Great value. Nice beer selection. read more

Upon arriving to Zappitelli's we were told the wait was going to be 25-30 minutes. We waited for over an hour prior to being seated. Two employees kept going into the parking lot to look for someone. When the last waitress came in, she said "O there you are" to a family in the corner who had walked in 5 minutes prior. They were seated instantly. It is one thing to wait longer than you're told; however it is ridiculous for employees to go in the parking looking for someone they know and not seat people who have been waiting over their quoted time. Not to mention there was a table empty for 20 minutes before someone cleared and cleaned it and many others that were empty for a long time with employees walking by, looking at them and not stopping. Once seated, our waitress was speedy and kind. I ordered the hot pepper parm and it was good (I would get it again, but it wasn't the best meal I've ever had). My boyfriend ordered the Walleye, his potatoes weren't crispy, and he said his meal was "ok" but he wouldn't order it again. read more

We have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. The portions are so large that it is enough for my husband and I to share and still take some home. The pasta and sauce is all fresh and homemade. Most dinners come with a side salad and we always get the homemade balsamic vinaigrette. They have a standard menu with daily specials. We got the stuffed chicken parm and it was delicious, the cheese was brown and bubbly and the chicken was tender. The "side" of linguini that came with it was overflowing and mouthwatering. My mother in law had a meatball sub and shared some with us. I am not a fan of meatballs but these definitely were the best. We always recommend Zappitelli's to friends and family looking for an authentic Italian meal. read more

Great food great portioning , how could you go wrong . I love it. We eat here sometime once of twice a week . Chicken park is great and enough for two people , salads are always a great size and the dressings are always good . I really like this place you'd be wise to check it out read more

Let me start off with: the food is great! As for the overall service, scores a C at best. We came here on 5/14/14 for dinner after my daughter's school recital. Even with 2 empty tables, we had to wait over 20 minutes for a table. Literally, 2 tables, empty. Now, we came on a Wednesday. Not a Friday. Not a Saturday. They must have been short staffed. The food took about 40 minutes to come out. The waitress was wonderful. Not her fault at all. But, due to a mess up in the kitchen, I got my food, and my 9 year old was left waiting for another 20 minutes while they re-made hers. I was done and had my food boxed up before she got hers. By the time we got out of there, 2 hours had gone by. read more

Excellent family-style Italian with incredibly large portions. The chicken parm was very tasty and my side of pasta was large enough to be an dinner itself. My kids ordered pizza and, surprisingly, it was just average. Go for the pasta and other entrees and you won't be disappointed. read more

What was once great service and quality food has diminished to a place run by unorganized teenagers with poor service and low quality food. Arrived Sunday 4:45pm, waited at least 5 mins to get name on list due to a counter full of To Go orders to be sorted out since none were marked. Tables were sitting entire time here to be cleaned while a freezing lobby of people were lined up. Salads came with no rolls yet other tables were served rolls. We waited over 1 hr for our Lasagna & Ravioli special and had to ask where our food was. Waitress came out, said 2 mins, it was 7 mins for a total over 1 hr for dinners to come out of kitchen. (We were not only ones asking status of food). We asked waitress for manager and she said she was as she sat 2 free cannolis down because she sensed we were unhappy about wait. After complaining she walked away and came back and said I will comp your food and walked away while I showed I was writing this review. Time out door 6:55pm. Oh note filthy floors and watered down tea. We are giving up coming here. read more

Called at 1:00 to simply ask if they delivered and got hung up on. Figured it was a mistake so I called back and got hung up on for the second time by the same kid that answered the first time. Well I guess they don't deliver at 1:00 and are to busy to say yes no or not yet. read more

One of our favorites for Eastside Italian. I promise you'll be shocked at the portion sizes! I particularly love their gnochi. They also have daily specials that sellout quickly. A smallish neighborhood establishment in a strip shopping center with good food. The ONLY reason I didn't do five stars is because I don't consider many to be that perfect! read more

Mediocre food. Used to be pretty delicious. The service is ok........long pause...just come here and prepare to feel guilty af after eating these massive portions. read more

Good pasta, big portions. Wish they would pound out their chicken when the make chicken parm! They are charging to add cheese to your salad if it's "to-go", not happy about that. read more

Everytime we are in the area we have to have one dinner here. I don't crave pizza, but the fettucine alfredo was absolutely outstanding!! Fresh and steaming from the kitchen, the first thing that will appeal to you is the delicious aroma. Plenty to take home, but reheating not as superb. I'd recommend sharing (even if there is a fee) and enjoy it fresh. The mannicoti is fabulous. The Italian sausage is great. Take home a cream puff 'cause I guarantee you won't be able to eat on there after dinner. read more

Growing up in an Italian household I have a high standard when it comes to scratch made, red sauce Italian comfort food. Zappitelli's is some of the best I've had outside of my Mom or Grandma's house! I had the gnocchi with meatballs. The gnocchi were light and not gummy like I've experienced at other establishments. My Dad had the stuffed hot peppers parm which he said were excellent and a very unique menu item. The other three at the table all went with the chicken parm which was tender and flavorful. All entrees came with delicious homemade rolls, salad and a large side of house made pasta. WARNING: Bring your appetite as the portions are extremely generous! Overall I definitely recommend Zappitelli's to anyone in Northeast Ohio who wants a quality Italian feast at a great price. We will definitely be back as soon as we can! read more

Would be 5 stars if they could just manage theirs phone/carry-out orders. Last month when I ordered carry-out the girl was so rude on the phone I finally told her to cancel it and I ordered dinner elsewhere. Today, she says hello and immediately asks me to hold. I wait 5 minutes on hold to place my order, while my husband dials in on another line and they take his order while I'm still holding! I love this place and would order more frequently but they can't seem to staff their phones properly. read more

Great food, a little too heavy on the sauce though. Prices are high, and I get it because they give wayyy too much food for 1 person. So, maybe they can cut down on portions and their prices? The cannoli's are awesome. read more

Amazing food! Amazing portions for the price. HOMEMADE NOODLES and I am picky when it comes to Italian food!

Stopped here for lunch with my girlfriend on a Sunday afternoon. This was our first visit and I can say for certain we will be back. We got the antipasti salad for two with the house Italian vinaigrette and it was very good and there was more than enough. We ordered a small white pizza and chicken Parmesan to share. The pasta is homemade and delicious. There was enough leftover for another meal. read more

Five of us went to dinner here. I highly recommend call-ahead seating. I actually called at noon to put my name in for 6:30pm. I don't know why they call it call-ahead seating because they literally held a table for us (isn't that called a reservation?). Onto the food and service...service was appropriately paced for a packed Saturday night. PORTIONS ARE HUGE. Save yourself some money and split entrees, seriously. The, "side" of spaghetti that came with my entree was the size of an entree at other restaurants. No joke. The chicken parm was okay. It really lacked salt. Cheese was good, sauce was okay, and I am a sauce person. It was a little on the bland side for me and lacked any character. Hubby said his pizza was pretty good. The youngster liked his cavatelli. The lasagna was the size of a miniature boat. Again, split the entrees. Quite a few beer selections for imports and domestics which was nice. Overall, I thought the food was pretty good but not as great as some have purported. My absolute fave Italian place was Mama Catena In Euclid but they went out of business. That place was incredible. One thing Zappitelli's could do is have separate lines at the counter for PICKUP and DINE-IN. The entrance gets clogged up with people waiting in one line for pickup orders and people wanting to be seated. Not efficient. read more

Have To Say This Place Is Awesome....great food...one of the best places in mentor to eat

Food was delicious. We all had huge portions. Definitely enough for lunch and probably dinner tomorrow. We dont eat red sauce at restaurants because its usually terrible compared to homemade but theirs is good. Very fair prices and excellent food. Nothing to complain about at all. read more

One of my favorite Italian places in mentor. I was from Chesterland originally and miss Guidos and Zap is a great replacement. There sauce is awesome and meal positions are huge! And they deliver if you are close. read more

Unbelievable pasta! Sauce to write home about! Very friendly service. You can hear the owner Anthony yelling out waitresses names when their order is ready which adds to the charm and ambience read more

I've been to many Italian restaurants in Lake County, and this one has topped them all so far. Fantastic!

This is a great restaurant, the food portions are huge, me and my wife share one dinner and still get full! Or you can eat till your full, and take home the leftovers and eat it the next day. The place in Mentor is better than the one on bishop Rd, believe it's called Stonebridge try it you'll like it. PAPPY read more

Wow used to be my favorite place, had to ask for the rolls, the salad was less than in past visits , our waitress was slow but I was hungry. Ordered the chicken Marsala because it was alway good, well not no more I could have gotten drunk off it! Chicken was cooked but not the Marsala, it was poured out the bottle and served!!! Sorry but this meal actually left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

We have been eating here for years and years. Cannot go wrong with Veal Parm. Delicious. The portions can feed a family for days. Great place. read more

I'm so sad to leave a bad review. This was always one of our favorite places & we ordered here often, supporting them through Covid & always left a tip for take out. I placed a large order, gave my phone number & explained pick up would be either me or my husband, gave them both of our names. I wrote the order down for my husband so he would know what was ordered. He arrived to pick up the order & he was told it wasn't there. He gave them both our names, the phone number & the piece of paper with the order I had written down. After acting like he was bothering them, he was was told again there was no order but he could place a new order & it would be another 40 minute wait. He said he couldn't because our daughter had to go to work. I called & asked to talk to the manager. She said my husband gave the wrong name, wrong telephone number & the wrong order. I explained he gave them both of our names, they had one number wrong in my telephone number, not our fault & he handed the young lady the exact order because I had it all written down exactly how I ordered it. He actually gave the paper to to 2 different women who separately went back to the kitchen to look for the order. Both stating it was not there. The manager then told me my order was there & we could come get it. I explained, no we couldn't because he now was picking up fast food so our daughter could eat before going into work. I could tell she was stressed & I explained we were good customers & her response was...We get lots of big orders. She tried to put the blame on my husband several times. Then She said she personally went in the kitchen to look for the order, found it, but my husband just left without waiting for her to return. NO, he left after 2 people told him it wasn't there & he could place a new order and he explained he couldn't wait another 40 minutes for it. She was rude to me & my husband said they were rude to him. The call ended with her telling me...well I don't know what to tell you, the food is here if you want to come back. Maybe apologize, be considerate & not accuse the customer of being the problem in this case. We didn't yell or make false accusations. Mistakes happen, but don't try to make good customers feel like it was their fault. You were busy & didn't want anyone to inconvenience you. And that's exactly how we were treated, like an inconvenience! The owner is such a nice man. I'm sure he would've been embarrassed. read more
