Mr Pepperoni — Restaurant in Fairfax

UPDATE: I just went back to Lil Italian Pizza for the first time in several months and the pizza is not the same as it used to be. It’s under new management and the quality and taste has declined significantly. I ordered the same thing I always do, the pepperoni pizza, and they added some weird herbs to it as well as different tasting pizza sauce. The entire place is decorated in Arabic writing and Arabic music/tv playing throughout the restaurant. Not a bad thing, but when you order pizza from Lil Italian Pizza, that’s not what you expect, and I guess that’s why everything tastes significantly different. Won’t be returning

OLD REVIEW FROM 10 MONTHS AGO: My parents told me about Lil Italian Pizza so a month ago my husband and I finally decided to order one and it’s by far the best pizza in town. Absolutely delicious and we are very particular with pizza. Just the right amount of crisp. And I randomly ordered a Greek salad there with grilled chicken and it was HUGE. Tasty and lots of chicken. Definitely try this place out if...

The restaurant is set up primarily for take out. There are two small tables (2 persons each) inside, but one was occupied by the owner/operator. The restaurant was warmly decorated and had a homey atmosphere. The two persons (owner and friend?) were very friendly and warm. The pizza itself was a NY style pizza. I ordered my pizza with 2 toppings. The toppings were fresh. One topping was bacon. I thought it was unusual that the bacon was uncooked when applied, but was fully cooked after bake. The taste of the pie was a bit bland. The crust was a very nice texture, but the pie would have been much enhanced with some added cook time. The sauce did not have as much pop to it as I would like and the cheese appeared to be straight mozzarella. The pie was certainly satisfying, but more cooking time, perhaps additional herbs/spices in the sauce for added pop and a blend of cheese could elevate the pie to standing out amongst the many...

You have to respect a small business owner, but you also have to describe the experience objectively. It was my first visit after reading the reviews. I was expecting more seating, but the restaurant only has 2 small tables. This is mainly an order and pickup joint. The reason for my rating is that the appetizers, french fries and onion rings were superb. Reminiscent of Philly. Now for the pizza. Prices all around were reasonable. The pizza is not authentic NY. This is more of a greek style pizza where the cheese is of lower quality and chewy similar to Paisanos or Kings NY Pizza. Same comments for the crust. The sauce is good with flavor. Overall the pizza tastes good, but if you are looking for true NY Italian, you would need to consider Mama Lucia, Ciros, or Pomodoros. The service here was good and on-time. I would definitely return...
