We have heard rave reviews about Fratelli’s and finally decided to give it a try. While it was okay, we felt like it was definitely overhyped. The staff was really nice, so at the very least you get good service. However, we weren’t offered napkins, cutlery, peppers and cheese, or anything. Kind of a barebones experience.
We ordered an 18” spinach pizza with pepperoni on half only and a note to remove the mushrooms (at my girlfriend’s request; I personally like pizza with mushrooms), plus a side of garlic butter. Sadly, the pizza had mushrooms, the garlic butter wasn’t given to us, and the half portion of pepperoni still cost $2.95 to add. The pizza was just okay. The crust was just objectively not great - dense and stale. If there’s any dough that reminds me of cardboard, it’s this stuff. I have a feeling the garlic butter sauce is what’s needed, at minimum, for the crust to be more than simply edible.
Additionally, also ordered mozzarella sticks. These were decent also. Hard to mess up mozzarella sticks, but glad they didn’t find a way to do so.
To complete the order, we ordered a Greek salad. This one was a bit puzzling, because I liked all the ingredients, but it’s somewhat unlike previous Greek salads I’ve had the pleasure of eating. It seemed like a run of the mill salad with some hints of Greek. It wasn’t bad by any means, but not exactly what I was expecting.
The containers used for the food, aside from the pizza box, were styrofoam.
Overall, it was an okay experience. We probably won’t be back, because while the establishment claims the food is “affordable” it’s by no means a good value. Our order came out to about $55 for the pizza, large salad, and mozzarella sticks. After the 20% tip, it exceeded $66. In my mind, Fratelli’s hits neither the value nor quality mark… which means we’ll likely not go out of our way to visit this establishment again. Your mileage may vary, but color us...
Read moreWe were visiting Malibu Wines and needed some food, so we ordered a pizza from Fratelli's to be delivered to us. We ordered a large margarita pizza, fried zucchini and a Greek salad, the bill was $52.
The food got there quickly so we were happy about that. The pizza was eh ok, the dough tasted like cardboard, there was no debt to it. It had lots of garlic and sauce but was not cheesy. Nothing like the photo they have on their sites, it was very thin.
The zucchini, well, clearly they are pre frozen and you will find mostly the crust, not much zucchini.
The Greek salad, well this one was weird for me as I order salads from pizza places often, this one was more of a table salad than Greek. It had white onions, black sliced olives, 2 artichoke hearts, sliced cucumbers, sliced mushrooms, sliced green bell peppers and feta. I've never had sliced mushrooms on a Greek and there were no tomatoes...I mean the black olives and marinated artichoke hearts is not something I find on...
Read moreVERY, VERY RECOMMENDED. I'M FROM THE AREA AND THIS IS THE ONLY PIZZA PLACE THAT IT DOESNT MAKE ME SICK. THE INGREDIENTS ARE FRESH, THE PIZZA IS NOT GREASY AT ALL, AND BREAD IS NOT TOO HEAVY, THE BALANCE IS PERFECT. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I HAVE PIZZA I GET SO SLEEPY, WITH THIS ONE I FEEL LIKE HAVING A NICE MEAL. I ASKED THE GUY ABOUT HOW GOOD IT WAS HIS PIZZA AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY PREPARE THE TOMATO SAUCE; THEY BOIL THE TOMATOES. AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT AS THE PIZZA IS NOT ACIDIC AT ALL AS MOST PLACES I'VE TRIED. I DO REALLY THINK THAT THE GUY DOING THE FOOD IS DOING A GREAT JOB. THE PIZZA HAS THE PERFECT TASTE.
DOWN THE STREET THERE IS A $5 DOLLAR DEAL IN ANOTHER PIZZA PLACE AND RUIN YOUR DAY, AND GET OVER YOUR CRAVING. BUT IF WANT A GOOD PIZZA, THIS IS...
