"The best overall pizza I have ever had as a consistent pizza place.... Doughy crust that is edible, unlike a lot of places.... Not too much tomato sauce, and their sauce is the only sauce that doesn't give me heartburn!!!! Their slices have been very large before other places caught on to the trend, AND THEIR SLICES ARE STILL HALF THE PRICE AS OTHER PLACES!!!! *One of the few places that serve deep-dish/stuffed slices, DeepDish/Stuffed Slices are only available early M-F, once they open and usually you can still get one for the next 2 or 3 hours."
"Ordered the Gyros Platter with Fries .... They definitely give you enough portion- 2(two) pitas that are completely filled with meat.... A lot of places nowadays do not charge normal prices for a half-filled pita- instead, they offer half-filled pitas AND CHARGE DOUBLE ($18-20, trying to guilt the customer by making them feel good about purchasing 2 sandwiches/pitas for $18 instead of $35) by making small portions BuyOneGetOneFree!!!! This place doesn't do that- not with the sandwiches, and they've never done that with the pizzas/slices in the last 20± years I've been coming here. Everything fresh and flavorful, as well as generously portioned!!!!"

"Okay, Fasano's has been around forever & when I saw that they were on Doordash, I went through the roof... in a good way! We used to order from them when they first opened up, and fifty some years later, they're still there, at the same location!! So anyhoo, I ordered the Shrimp Dinner, & I took a French fry out & tasted it... O M G! Just so delicious! And my shrimp wasn't bad neither. Everything tasted the same as it used to, except for the coleslaw. My partner got the Ravioli (Meat or Cheese) (7) & Garlic Bread. She had no comment, but I know she loved it."
"They were off on both their pizza & the baked Mostaccioli. I look forward to ordering Fasano's bc they are usually so good & consistent. Not last night. I didn't receive my order of meatballs, the sauce was watery. & the garlic cheese bread was closed together like a sandwich, and I couldn't get the pieces apart. The pizza was ordered "Pie cut & Extra crispy" We received neither. This was the first time we were so disappointed. It is an $80. meal (with DoorDash tip), for my family, and we can't afford it every week, that is another reason for being disappointed."
