Pasquale's Pizza & Pasta House — Restaurant in Westerville

This place is really hyped up to be way beyond what our experience was. We decided to eat in since there was an hour wait for takeout and we had a football game to get to. So we ordered drinks and a “founders special” pizza. Turn around time was quick but what was laid out before us was not even close to what I was expecting. So I will say it wasn’t bad but it most definitely didn’t fit the description on menu. Baked chicken tasted more like frozen grilled chicken breast meat I buy at the grocery. Something tasted like freezer burn and I couldn’t really figure it out but as I’m typing this it just makes sense. If there was garlic butter sauce on it then it might have been a super light brush. The crust was over cooked and really dry and crunchy and it had no flavor at all. The tomatoes were a nice burst of flavor but overall the seasoning lacked salt. Chincy with the cheese too. Towards the middle was where I found it had more flavor and salt. I could taste what the whole pie should have been.

Drinks were refilled once and the waitress seemed stressed and distracted.

Now I’m definitely not bashing this business. People have off days and I know this place has to be good bc of the amount of takeout that was being picked up. We just happened to experience a not so good pie. Might give them another try if we find out way back out...

The place is good and I would recommend it. Unfortunately for me I really hate onions and the sauce for my spaghetti and meatball was very heavy with them, and a bit of some other stuff. So I wasn't able to eat the sauce myself. The rest was good, the spaghetti itself and the meatball. The garlic twist bread, that I wasn't expecting to get, was very delicious. I'd consider going just for that! I did let the waitress know about the onion issue, but she just said sorry and didn't offer any alternative.

The dining experience was fine. It's technically a restaurant, but it's more like your usual pizza take-out place with some tables. But they were big enough to dine comfortably.

For myself I probably won't be able to go back due to the sauce and most any other option looks like would be made with the sauce too. But it's not their fault, it was well prepared and very quick. Others will surely like it...

If you live close to this place and haven't tried it, shame on you!! We were looking for pizza and pasta for lunch from somewhere we had never been before. That is always a little scary!! We fortunately picked Pasquales. We ordered the garlic knots. They are Huge, Crispy where they need to be and chewy not doughy. And so cheap!! We decided to try the Meat Lovers Pizza and the Penne and Meatball too. Neither dish disappointed. The crust is so thin and crispy but not burnt at all and the amount of toppings was very generous. We have a lot of leftovers to take home. We both decided we would make the 45 min drive to eat here again and again. The server Makayla (sp?) was very friendly and the speed of service was Great!! Then there is the dessert case. We brought home a cannoli, a cream puff , a cinnamon roll and the peanut butter cookie sandwich with chocolate. So excited to...
