Fazoli’s

Fast food Italian. Do I sound like everyone else? Yes, because it is true. Do not expect the pizza to change your life and you won’t see the Virgin Mary in the Alfredo sauce, unless you’re had an appetizer with Jack, Jim, and a few good Buds.
Lunch specials are reasonably priced and the chopped salads are surprisingly good. Free bread sticks are never a bad thing and they carry Coke products (because Pepsi had no place alongside Italy’s best).

Don’t come here expecting a gourmet, fancy Italian meal because you will be disappointed. But if you want something quick, deliciously unhealthy, with generous amounts of cheese, butter, garlic, and all that good stuff, this might be your place. It’s like the pasta your mom would make at home but with amounts of fat that you probably don’t want to know. You will leave feeling satisfied because everything tasted fatty and delicious, but you may soon descend into a food coma because of all the carbs and fat you just consumed.
The breadsticks here are also delicious and free and I could probably eat them until I’m immobile and have heart disease. And it would be worth it.
All in all, give it a try, come with realistic expectations, and you could have a great time!

It’s a fast-​food Italian place, I honestly expected the food to be revolting. The pasta was pretty good and as expected of a fast-​food place, I didn’t have to wait long at all for my order to be completed. I would definitely enjoy coming here for a few more visits.

it’s fast food italian. i thought about how best to explain this to you Unilocalers since this concept was foreign to me before i ate there. here’s the best way i thought of:
they have a drive through and allow you to a place an order for pasta that is picked up at the window.
this means they have the pastas ready pre-​cooked (your fettachini, spaghetti, ravioli etc.) and then they sauce it while you pull around to the pick it up.
while the fact that they have a drive through is awesome for those who don’t want to get out of their car, the food suffers as a result.
note all out starving college kids — they have an all you can eat pizza and pasta lunch deal.

Tonight was SUCH a disappointment. My drive-​through order was not complicated or extensive. But I had to wait at the pay/​pickup window for 10+ minutes for my meal, and when I got it, checked for the extra sauce, which they failed to provide. So after waving at the window for another minute to get the attention of the lady who was standing right at the window, I got my extra sauce. When I got home, my baked ravioli was like rubber and it was not good at all. Usually this place does a good job and the food’s good, so having an unpleasant experience is beyond the norm, and tends to stand out.
UPDATE: The manager tried twice to contact me by phone concerning my online critique (not Unilocal) of their service and food. Thank you for making the effort! Had take-​out from Faz. again yesterday and it was actually rather quick, and hot and tasty. As it Usually Is. It’s true that one bad experience can spoil us to a place, but I was glad that I went back. Changed it from 2 stars to 3.

Last option for Italian. It is hit or miss here, but good taste for fast food italian.

In my wildest dreams I never imagined pasta could taste this bad. I had some combo pasta with cream sauce and marinara, and I swear I thought the sauces were mayonnaise and ketchup. I ate here only once, over a year ago, and it haunts me to this day. One in need of cheap noodles from a large chain should head to Noodes & Company, if you have any regard for your palate.
