Let’s talk about the pizza: 🔥

Crispy, golden crust with just the right amount of chew

Rich, flavorful sauce that actually tastes homemade

Super fresh toppings piled generously - no shortcuts here

You can taste the care and quality in every bite.

We came for a casual dinner, and left planning our next visit before we even hit the parking lot. The wings are next on our hit list, and the menu offers more than just pizza - it's a full-on comfort food experience.

Family-friendly. Flavor-packed. Fast and friendly service. Ellie’s Pizzeria is a...

Ellie’s Pizzeria just made our family dinner night a new tradition. From the moment we walked in, everything felt warm and inviting—and the food? Next level.

We started with the Gourmet Combo pizza, which came piled high with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers. Every bite was perfectly balanced and full of flavor.

Next up with a pizza sandwich with four toppings! We went all over the place with pepperoni, pineapple, ham, and bacon. It was absolutely phenomenal!!

We shared the Chicken Caesar salad and it was fresh, light, and bursting with flavor from the dressing and might have been the best ever!

And just when we thought we were done, we tried the Mini Cheesecake Bites. Game over. Soft, creamy, and just the right amount of indulgent. The kind of dessert that makes you lean back in your chair and say, “Yup, we’re coming back.”

Ellie’s delivers way more than pizza, it delivers an experience....

Do not under any circumstances believe the 5 star reviews.

We had this pizza today. Inside, there are literally three tables. Plastic utensils. Paper plates. Order a salad? Dress it yourself, they give it to you in a plastic box.

We got a pizza, the 'homemade breadsticks' (more on this travesty in a second), and the lemon pepper wings.

First, the pizza. I would bet a substantial sum of money and at least one limb that every ingredient in that pizza came from a big-box frozen food wholesaler. It tasted like the pizza you'd get at a high school basketball game.

Second, the 'homemade breadsticks'. It's literally the pizza dough, shaped as a pizza (not like breadsticks), with an unhealthy amount of raw garlic thrown on top and then slapped into a basket.

Lastly, the wings. This, I will keep brief. They were not good.

You have been warned. The 5-star reviews are insanely fishy, something...
