Luigi's Pizza and Pasta — Restaurant in Campbell

Came here for the second time before a movie. The pizza is pretty good. We got a veggie pizza and added jalapeno's. The toppings are ample, and the crust is nice. If we were to order again, we would request extra crispy as the center was watery. We got the chicken pesto, and it was average. Not a strong pesto flavor, but the portion is good size. I wouldn't order chicken again. It was small cubed pieces that seemed as if they might have been frozen at some point. The garlic bread is probably their strongest contender. Soft and tasty. My biggest problem and why I would only get takeout is they were cleaning the kitchen while we were eating and the cleaner was so strong, I had to get out asap. It was making me physically ill and on the edge of vomiting. :( Even if I didn't have sensitivity to odors, I don't think anyone likes to smell chemicals while they are eating. It doesn't allow you to taste the food at all. I guess the positive is that the place is probably clean, but I can't risk getting a migraine or getting ill from it. It is very loud in the place even with only a few people and the kitchen staff going back and forth with a cart of dishes clanking as he goes over the carpet (3 times in the 40 minutes we were there) was less than pleasant. The place is very old school and very 'rough around the edges'. You grab your own forks, plastic plates, and super thin napkins. It's a good place for families. I'm sure because of the portion sizes and prices, just know what you're getting into when going. They seem very nice, so I'm torn with a not so great review, but I think honesty is the only way restaurants can know opinions and try to...

I ordered spaghetti with marinara sauce for takeout. Their marinara sauce turned out to be a strange concoction, bearing no resemblance to the authentic version, instead of a lovely bright red, it is a creamy pale orange color devoid of the customary tomato chunks and herbs. Disappointing. The sauce was so off from what I expected that I called the restaurant to see if I received the wrong order. No, they said what I had been given IS their marinara sauce. I only managed to eat a few bites, tossed the rest (ugh), and soaked my fork in cold water. Later when I returned to wash it, I saw that a chunky, light yellow, fatty film had solidified on the fork tines. What the heck is mixed into this sauce anyway? Eeeek!

Over the years, they have taken many items off the menu, so there are far fewer choices. We were especially disappointed when they removed the salad bar, this was long before the pandemic, removed their sandwich offerings, and removed other entrees which we used to enjoy. Before these changes, we used to eat here often, once or twice a week, but due to the downsizing of their menu and quality, instead, we eat here every once in a while, mainly because...

I was feeling a little Italian like today so I decided to try out this old fashion Italian little Ristorante Luigi's with very good authentic style Italian food. I had the Chicken Pesto and Salami Pizza and have also tried the Creamy Chicken Garlic and Ham. Both were excellent and Muy Bueno Pizza's. The menu is deep of choices from the Spaghetti and Pizza's to the Sandwiches & the Pasta to the Stromboli and the Vino- Wine and beers they have. The place is cozy and looks like it has the special rooms for the FAMILIA type of events. I suggest you check them out. They also have a coffee room - Luigi's Cafe. I met Joe and he was very service oriented and respectful a true professional and family type of personality. They have been around since 1985. In a big shopping center with a bunch of different types of merchants. I even saw some theatre cinema next to them. Check out the menu. I will be back with friends and family. Easy to get to with major streets and...
