Alpha Pizzeria

My husband and I have ordered from them at least 5 – 6 times and the last 2 were what pushed me to write this review. We always loved their white pizza and the second to last time we ordered it, it was incorrect and we were given a normal pizza with the correct toppings. We called and complained and dealt with it. We ordered from their website by the way, that even the owner confirmed was the same order that came through on his computer, acknowledging it was a mess up on their end. So a month or so later we order the same white pizza again, thinking they were just having a bad day last time, but again, with an over an hour wait from the order time, the wrong pizza shows up and they’ve not even cut it into pieces, just quartered it into 4 gigantic pieces like they were too busy to even cut it. Granted, this is not the end of the world but upon calling and asking for my difference in money since they yet again screwed up the pizza (and the white pizza is about $ 4 more than a normal), I was told the site goes through some third party payer and he couldn’t refund us. Luckily, we paid with cash, but what kind of service is that? YOU mess up and I lose money for it??? He attempted to redeem himself by sending the driver back and refunding us the money for the entire order AND allowing us to keep the pizza but it was a little too late especially having given them another chance. Their normal pizza is terrible, by the way. I will not be ordering from them again.

Ordered the lasagna… You basically pay 10 $ for a pound of cheese and some watery sauce. Sauce acts like it’s afraid of the noodles, just pools up on the side of the dish. Garlic bread? Butter bread with a garlic clove. Warmed lol wings were good.

I was at a friends house tonight and they ordered Alpha Pizza. The phone was busy for a few minutes and thought it’s gotta be pretty good for the phone to be busy at 9pm.
The pizza looked perfectly round thinking maybe it’s frozen dough. I never seen a pizza that perfect. The taste of the pizza was horrible. It was full of grease for a cheese pie. I seriously had better from Pizza Hut or dominos.
When picking up the pizza with friends the entire place was spotless. It looked like you can eat off the floor! The girl behind the counter was friendly and gave us good direction on how to get there.
In my opinion, being clean and friendly is a good way to attract business but the taste of the pizza was beyond horrible. Next time I’m hungry and need a oil change for my car I still wouldn’t call them as there are hundreds of pizzerias in the area.

We had a large cheese pizza that was pretty good. We also got the rosemary — garlic wings which were outstanding. They make there own blue cheese dressing which was really good too.
We will be back and they deliver.

What a horrid experience. We just moved and decided to cheat on our usual pizza place because this was closer and it was a late night.
Our first pizza was a strange texture that basically implied that the pizza had been sitting forever. If you have passion for your business and respect for your customers — you do not sell food that has been sitting forever. On top of this, it was cooked to a point at which the crust crumbled when you touched it. No one would eat it (we were having people over for the hockey game) so I politely called for a more than fair replacement.
A girl told me she would put me on hold. She proceeded to NOT put me on hold which was likely an accident since I could hear her complaining with an attitude about the fact that I wanted a replacement. Again — I was entirely polite and had every right to not want to waste my money on old overcooked pizza.
Eventually a replacement pizza came. The girl who delivered it has no apology and an attitude while handing it over and then left in a hurry — I am assuming it was the same girl. Must to our disgust this pizza, while not old, was even more burnt. Overcooked was my biggest complaint over the phone although maybe it should have been that the pizza was old and dry.
Gave them a chance to make it right and they blew it with rudeness. Oh well. At least we know not to go there anymore.
Slightly horrified that other people have posted overcooked food.
I would like to add, to be fair, that some people LIKE overcooked pizza. However, burnt should be a request, but if burnt is your signature style — TELL ME THIS when I call asking for a non-​burnt pizza.

First time visit with friends. It’s a small little pizza place with a few tables inside. It wasn’t horribly crowded which was nice. I had the spinach calzone. The calzone was huge and very delicious. My husband had chicken Caesar salad. It was average but not horrible. Fries are very yummy! I will definitely be back to try their pizza. Overall review would be it’s an average Italian place.

Calzones of ginormous proportions. Service is great. Food comes out quickly. I will definitely be back for more. Had no room for pizza the two calzones were lunch the next day as well. Will be back to try the pizza.

Ordered from here last night. Everything was very good. Stuffed shells and cheesecake were delicious. I would recommend for sure.

The absolute WORST Italian food we’ve ever had. The baked spaghetti had very little sauce and was «crunchy» from being dry and baking it. The pizza had no sauce and was burnt (wish I could add a pic to prove this) and the chicken wings were so over cooked they were dried out as well. Should’ve known this considering I placed the order at 5:40p and it was delivered at 7:15p. Never, Never, Never again will I eat from this establishment. BEWARE!

Not here for the pizza by any stretch.
I don’t like their pizza. Not at all. Too doughy and way too much like Pizza Hut. Great if you like that sort of thing. I don’t. Most New Yorkers wouldn’t. However, I will rave about one thing of theirs and one thing only…
They make the best Greek salads anywhere north of Tarpon Springs.
I always order their big Greek salad whenever I am craving a salad. For $ 6.49 you get a HUGE tray of fresh lettuce, banana peppers (yes, I know, not a greek salad staple, but a nice addition to throw at my husband who loves them), plenty of greek olives, some fresh green pepper, an abundance of potato salad in the middle of the veggies and loads of feta cheese. The salads are perfect for a big lunch or with an appetizer of their very yummy mozzarella sticks for dinner.
Plus, the are close enough to my house to deliver whenever the craving strikes me, which is pretty often.
I am not crazy about their pasta, their meatballs or any of the other things that usually make for a good Italian pizza place. But their greek salads and their antipasto (which is always lovely when we have it catered in for big dinners at my house) are very tasty. They can do salads and fresh veggies like nobodies business.
But, what they should be known for as an Italian restaurant… their pizzas and pastas, fall flat.
My husband, however, swears by their garlic knots. I’m not a fan of garlic knots at all, so I cannot agree or disagree with that assessment.
But if you live and/​or work in NPR and are craving some tasty greek salad, (they come in two sizes, small and dinner sized), then Alpha is a great place to call and have them bring it right to your front door.

We had some catering ordered by our Company from this restaurant. It was Baked Ziti with Cheese and Meatballs with Garlic Knots. The Garlic Knots were alright, and their pizza may be good, as I haven’t had any I can’t comment. What I can say is that there pasta sucks, the meatballs taste like they just bought them at a store and stuck them on top, and they used almost no pasta sauce, like 3 cups per 10 lbs of pasta. Wouldn’t eat it even though it was free, certainly wouldn’t spend any money there.
