Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

My wife our friend Kathy R. and myself stopped here for lunch. As soon as we stepped in, we were greeted by Lacey who was extremely friendly. Lacey gave us ample time to Perouse the menu until we all deicide what we wanted. For starters I ordered the Calamari for my wife & I . It was alright, thinly coated but not really fired the way I normally like. It was decent but not special. I've had way better here in Arizona.. Our waitress brought us the beverages we ordered then took our meal order. Dinner gets off to a good start here with a nice basket of garlic bread sticks,Our entrees came shortly thereafter. Our friend started with the soup which she said was absolutely delicious. For her entrée Kathy got the Ziti with a side salad. She raved about the garlic dressing. And kept going on and on about it until her meal came. She thought the Ziti was outstanding. For dessert Kathy got the home made Tiramisu. It was soaked in brandy and espresso, layered with sweetened marscapone cheese and kahlua. Topped off with cocoa powder. She thought it was outstanding. My wife Carol decided on the Sausage, peppers & onions (Mild Italian Sausage slow baked with sweet peppers, onions, marinara sauce and spices with side of pasta). Carol thought the dish was superb. For dessert Carol got the Lemoncello Marscapone Cake. Carol loves lemon and said it was A delightful and light lemon flavored cake. It was and rich and loaded with delicious Lemon flavor. I got the Veal Parmesan it came with a small dinner salad and pasta w/ marinara sauce. The pasta is extremely high quality-- perfectly cooked. The veal parmesan was tender and prepared nicely. I always judge an Italian restaurant on the Veal Parmesan if they have it or the eggplant parmesan. In this case it was the veal. The dish was classic Italian fare, nothing really different than what you find on every menu Italian Restaurant in Arizona. But it was pretty tasty. For dessert I ordered the cheese cake. It was creamy and rich but nothing special. FOOD: Food was very good. Kathy R. and my wife was impressed with the quality of their dish. As for me I thought the food was good but didn't knock my socks off like I was expecting. While everything tasted fine, I did not taste any heart or soul in the dishes and Italian food normally has a lot of TLC along with heart and soul put into their dishes. SERVICE:Lacey provided us with Tremendous service. PRICE: The prices on the lunch menu wasn't terrible. CONCLUSION: Nice atmosphere. Relaxed, unpretentious, and comfortable in a way that makes you want to spend time just chatting with friends. The portions were just right for lunch not to big that you left stuffed but not small where you left hungry. You cannot go home hungry from here. RETURN FACTOR 100%. ******************* What does my OVERALL rating mean? ******************** 5 stars -Highly recommended. I would be willing to drive out of my way to this business. It is that good. This place represents their industry or cuisine very well! 4 stars - Highly Recommended. I would frequent this business. 3 stars - Not that good but not that bad. Just average. I wouldn't mind going again. 2 stars - I would not recommend this establishment to friends or family. 1 stars - DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO NOT patronize this business. I would RUN AWAY from this place and you should too! DON'T WAST YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AT THIS ESTABLISH The portions were huge, the prices were very reasonable and the food was fantastic! I would definitely recommend Little Bite of Italy and I'll certainly go back again

I've been to this restaurant about 6-7 times since 2013 when my parents retired here and I come out to visit. I've always had an exceptional meal - my secret - order the thin crust pizza. I have not tried the veal, calamari, etc. Their thin crust pizza is really really good. Try their large with sausage, mushroom, and fresh crushed garlic. I like chicago cut personally. Outstanding. If you want more zagat rated fare, there are many places to visit 30 minutes away, but if you want great tasting comfort food right in the heart of Sun City, try this place out. Oh yeah - full bar, sidewalk seating if you want, and quirky live music on the patio from time to time. This is Sun City - it beats the heck out of the buffets your parents may want to take you to - tell them, take me to that little italy place with the sidewalk seating. The servers know us and have been efficient every time I've gone from 12:00 noon to 3:00 in the afternoon to 7:00 pm at night. I've had pizza deep dish in Chicago on Wabash Ave and thin crust in New York Times Square and authentic in Vienna, Austria and this place makes good thin crust pizza. Try it. I go at least once each time I visit the parents, and this is my first yelp review - I've really enjoyed eating here.

My mom ordered the lemon veal, and it was nasty, voted so by her friend that tasted it as well!! The server would have nothing to do with replacing the meal, or compensating in any way whatsoever, the manager had the same attitude. Ultimately my mom left, on her birthday, hungry! They claimed if they replaced food for everyone, they wouldn't have a business. Well, they won't have our business moving forward!

I wanted to take my grandma out for some dinner and since this place is a block or so from her house, we decided to give it a try. Upon arriving we could tell that it was busy, but there were still empty tables. We waited for 5 to 10 minutes to be seated and then another few for our waitress to take our drink orders (water, nothing from the bar). At this point I should have taken better notice of the patrons around us. Nobody had food in front of them and several tables looked anxious as if they had been waiting for some time. Our waitress returned to take our orders and then we started what would be the longest wait in restaurant history... We literally waited for 35 minutes from the time we placed our order to the time we received our dinner salads. 'Oh good sign' I thought as we received our salads, thinking dinner couldn't be too far behind... well I was wrong. We sat and sat and sat for another 25 minutes. Eventually I told my hard of hearing grandma that I was going to settle up on our waters and side salads and we would go grab some Arby's. She agreed and I hunted down our waitress. When I told her I wanted to tab out, she looked at me with disbelief and stated she would have to get the manager. Then she proceeded to clean a table. I was disgusted and ready to go. And I would have too, if my sweet little grandma wasn't sitting there. Our waitress returned and asked if we could wait 2 more minutes. I looked around and mentioned there were at least 2 other tables ahead of us. She stated that they ordered pizza and it takes longer than our orders. A few more minutes passed and our plates came out. The food was nothing fancy, but did taste alright. I had stuffed shells and grandma had manicotti. Next time I take grandma to dinner we will make the drive to another place and avoid the excessive waits.

The food was good they were slow on refills. But I was trying to be understanding and then as we were leaving our server which is a blonde girl with her hair tied that came out chasing after us asking if we like the service and why we didn't tip. I have never been chase down by a server demanding for tip and reply when we reply why we didn't then she rolled her eyes at us and immediately leaves. I hope everyone there is not like that. that's how our moment was ruined and our experience there. will not be eating there again
(1)Mark P.
Pretty empty place and took a little more time than expected to get a drink order in and finally the soup and sandwich order. At least the food came out quickly. Nothing to write home about and don't think I'll go back. Not worth the time, Peoria is close and better restaurants.
(2)Beth S.
Although the staff here is very very nice, the food at best is just meh....I visited recently with a friend and found the menu and food to be uninspired. I ordered the soup, salad and breadsticks. First of all, it bagged salad and about a cup of it at that. It's not a bread stick, it's a slice of garlic toast. And the soup, the soup was pretty good. It was semi-homemade chicken noodle soup. It's not unlimited but it is only $5. You do get what you pay for in that respect. My friend ordered the mostaccoli with meatsauce and salad. The pasta was overdone and the meatsauce was pretty salty. I suppose for the older crowd that this place attracts in Sun City, this food is great, but honestly, it was nothing special. It wasn't bad...it just wasn't good either.

Well... I stopped in on a Thursday night. I was visiting a family member who was briefly in town and she was staying near this restaurant. The reviews seemed good so I figured it was worth a try. It's located deep in a strip mall. The restaurant is a bit dated and stuffy. Everyone dining was seated on the patio, so we sat there, too. There was a gentlemen playing music on a stereo or DJ equipment (not sure - sorry!) and he was singing with the music, which made for cute ambiance. Unfortunately, this is where the pleasantries seemed to end. After being seated for 15 minutes, I went inside to find a waitress to take our order. It irritated me that a large party was seated next to us after we were seated and their order was taken before ours. After waiting 50 minutes for food, the waitress said their computer system had died and the order didn't send to the kitchen, so it would be a few more minutes before we got our food. It was after 9:30 PM at this point, and I was starving. The food: food was extremely average. Baked ziti was very simple. Fettuccine alfredo needed some salt but was OK. After finishing our food, I took the liberty of going inside, finding our waitress, and asking for the check because it was almost 10 PM and I had a good drive ahead of me to get back home. Prices were relatively reasonable, but service was abysmal. Not going back.
(1)Cheryl L.
The food is ok; a little pricey for the quality. The service is a bit on the slow side and I didn't feel very welcome being there without a partner. It's about the only place in SC with music and a bar so it's popular but I only go occasionally and only because I live so close to that shopping center
(2)Wes T.
From what I gather, this is THE place to go on a Saturday night in Sun City. Be prepared for outdoor seating, a sound system, and some geriatric boogie-ing. The food was alright. We called ahead for takeout, and because of the crowd we had to wait 25 minutes for a pizza and salad. They have a bar with open seats, so OK. Bar was pleasant enough. Cheese pizza, meh, nothing special. Chicken Caesar was also middle-of-the-road. I get it though, you're catering to an older crowd, and there's probably not much incentive to go nuts with flavors of any sort. Keep it bland, keep 'em coming in.
(3)Dale A.
Where to begin. Staff, not friendly, not helpful. Owner, not available. Ambience, dirty. It is appear r that the owner is cutting corners when ordering takeout and they charge you for soup and salad and yet the same order eating in it's included. And instead of ordering new menus, they had staff use a black marker over the soup and salad portion of the takeout menus. When bringing out the food, not a word! This place relies on its karaoke and booze to stay alive. The food was not memorable . Will not go back. Proof that the Sun City crowd Ned's to demand better restaurants. Bye Cafeterias and little bite of Italy, a new generation is moving in.

Want to start by saying STAY AWAY! Now for my experience...Talk about getting harassed for bringing in a coupon? We visited this restaurant a few weeks ago. We cut a coupon out of the local paper for $1.00 draft beer during happy hour on domestic beer. We had 6 Coors lights between 3 people, plus food (which was not good at all). As we asked for the check, my wife handed the coupon to the server, and she told us that since we did not give her the coupon when we first sat down that she could not honor it? I read the coupon, and it did not mention this at all. I asked to speak to the Manager (what a piece of work she was) and she said that the rule is to give the coupon when you first sit down. I told her I would have done that if I knew that was the LAW. Anyways, they did not discount the beer. Long story short, this was our first and last time at this POS restaurant. If the food was good, I could overlook the rudeness, lack of customer appreciation, and dirtiness of the restaurant. The food was awful, the manager on duty was rude, and very over priced. I strongly recommend staying as far away from this place as possible.
(1)Maddy K.
It was ok. I went with a large group and I think the waitress was cranky because of it. She was slow getting beverages but the kitchen was relatively quick getting us our food, especially considering the size of the group. It was most definitely overpriced but I liked being able to sit outside. There was love entertainment when I went which was really cool. Food and service were ok, atmosphere was great, overall an average restaurant experience.
(3)Susan H.
Excellent value for lunch! We had a Cobb salad and a soup/ salad combo. Good breadsticks. Nice patio. Friendly service. Would return.

Wow! People from surrounding areas seem kind of mad at this place. It is not a dance club. It is Sun City folks, not Scottsdale. This place is about fun and people watching. The pizza is great! We have had the white pizza several times and love the thin crust and toppings. First time we went, we were looking for something to do, So I called and asked if they had music. The woman replied, that they had 'R&B' that night. We went expecting a band. Instead, we got Ronnie and Bobbie (?) who sing to songs AND wear costumes to fit the mood! It is very quirky, but fun. Tons of regulars hang out to dance and visit. we felt kind of out of place, since we were 10 - 20 years younger than the crowd, but they said hi as they walked by and made us feel included. The singers handed out small flags to wave during their rendition of 'Boogie- Woogie Bugle Boy' So, I got up and waved mine, mortifying my GF. Good fun!
(4)Marvin S.
Have to say, the MOST disappointing dining experience ever in the Sun City area. Management does NOT care. Slow service, mediocre food. Won't recommend to anyone and certainly won't be going back anytime soon.

We decided to deviate from the norm last night and decided to check out little bite of italy. It's tucked away in the back of a strip mall lacks curb appeal. The interior was more reminiscient of a bowling alley with ugly carpeting and uncomfortable orange and yellow chairs. Above the bar hangs an Air Cav unit emblem indicating the proprietor spent some time in Nam and it in no way embodies an italian restaurant hopefully the food is good. We started with an order of toasted ravioli which was actually quite good, My meal included a salad and breadstick (singular). The salad consisted of tomatoes, lettuce and onions. Not being a fan of Tomatoes or Onions I reached for the parmesan and made the best of things. (NOTE: There are these things call croutons, they're crunchy and they're awesome!!!) I was also served a single lonely breadstick in a basket, feeling guilty I shared the breadstick with my wife. For dinner I had ordered the linguine with clam sauce. I ordered a half order but the portion size was still very big. there was a lot of clam on the pasta, unfortunately the sauce was a bit of a let down and something was off about the taste. My wife had ordered a stromboli but we couldn't help but think she was eating an oversized hot pocket. The service was ok, our waiter was young and seemed absent minded and a couple of times we joked about dine and dashing because we were going to catch a movie after. To be fair it was mothers day and the wait staff may have been off their game. and the pizza looked good so at some point I'd like to come back and try the pizza. the pizza will determine whether they gain or lose a star. If you're in the neighborhood might be worth checking out, but not worth the drive if you're not.

We went there last night because my mother lives by there and wanted to try it. Cute when we first walked in and sat down. Pretty crowded..... bar was packed. Our food was VERY sub- par and i had the WORST spagetti with meat sauce ive ever had! Everyone at my table thought it was disgusting so it wasnt just me the drinks are not cheap at all for being in a strip mall next to the Dollar Store... Seems like they are ripping Sun City people off. My friend had sausage and peppers in a very small bowl for $13 and he said it wasnt very good either Salad looks like it came of of one of those salad bags at a grocery store The only reason I gave it one star is because the bar area looked fun....... Everyone in my group said to give them zero Stars!!!!!!!
(1)Siriusly M.
First, what's with the other reviewers whining about the location? The metropolitan area does go beyond their cozy little caves in the east valley! Moving on...hey look it's a non-chain place to eat in the Phoenix area -- AMAZING! The food was excellent, the service was great, it wasn't overly crowded (i.e. no long wait), and it wasn't one of those pretentious "we're a cool Italian over priced fancy place." It was the perfect place to get good food, relax and have a great time. Something the west valley definitely has going over the east!
(4)Alan W.
Been there twice now. Will definately go back. I really don't understand some of the other reviews. I think way better than Olive Garden and don't have to wait in line forever. No effing kids either! Had pizza first time. Did not need Alka-Seltzer later. Had veal parmisian tonight. Great, great, great! All you can eat fish on Friday nights for $12. Give it a try. Not all of us in Sun City are dead yet!

Now the first thing you may want to ask is "Greg what the fuck were you doing 99th Ave and Greenway?" or "99th Ave? Why the fuck didn't you just drive the extra three miles and go to LA?" You would be right in asking me those perfectly reasonable questions. The answer is that for some reason which I still have not been able to figure out yet is that my girlfriend's parents live out there. So this Friday it was her step mother's birthday and she wanted to celebrate at this little place in a strip mall in Sun City. All I could say up to that point is "Hey, at least it's not a fucking Luby's." So we walk up to this little restaurant and there is patio seating out front and a quaint little dining room inside. We were early so we decided to belly up to the bar and have a glass of wine. The bar tender carded me which was understandable given that compared to the average patron at this establishment I must have looked like a god damn fetus. I order a Chardonnay and my girlfriend orders a Sauvignon Blanc. Mine was passable hers was too sweet. We had a couple other glasses and when the bill came for 4 glasses of mediocre wine I was more that a little shocked that they cost $26. Oh well easy come easy go right? The reservations we had were for a huge table outside as we had about 20 people in our party. There was live entertainment in the form of this blonde lady about 50 years old not bad looking who has a kind of karaoke set up that she just uses to sing. I tipped her a few times so she could play some Nancy Sinatra, Stan Getz, etc. and she did a pretty decent job. The menu was pretty standard Italian fare. Various pastas and pizzas, etc. I took a chance and order the Fettucine a la Carbonara. The reason I say I took a chance is because I have ordered this dish the world over and I have only had about one or two places make it properly. This was not one of them. They basically just put bacon over Fettucine Alfredo and called it a night. Disappointing but at least the clam chowder and pizza was pretty good. I would have to say the most remarkable thing about this place was these weird really long tubes that they fill up and bring to your table. The tube has a tap at the bottom that you use to pour the beer. Very bizarre. The entertainment got progressively more fun as we drank and drank. At one point there was this old dude dancing his ass off right there on the patio like he didn't have a care in the world. I hope I have as much energy when I am his age. We eventually did the same and danced the twist right there on the patio. What started out as a pretty mediocre place turned out to be a pretty fun time. I don't know why the hell anyone reading this would ever find themselves at 99th Ave and Greenway but if you do you should swing by and check it out.

Disclaimer: This restaurant is located in Sun City. It is unlikely any of you will find yourself here in the near future and hopefully not even in the far future, as this is where vitality goes to die. But if you find yourself with a flat tire out in the middle of BFE or need to take Grandma out for a night on the town (bedtime by 8pm at the latest, sonny!), this is a pretty respectable choice. And in full confidentiality, it managed to surprise me. ----------------------------------------------------------- I can't fathom why, but my family resides in the suburban sprawl of Peoria, which happens to border Sun City. I haven't been out to this haven for golf carts and cataracts since I used to live way out in northwest Glendale, but for my stepmother's birthday she wanted to eat at Little Bite of Italy. So we pile in to the car for the mini road trip out there from Tempe. Having arrived early, Mr. Man and I saunter up to the bar and (gasp!) get carded. Seeing how we were mere babes in the womb compared to some of the patrons there, this was no big surprise. What was surprising was the house sauvignon blanc I ordered that tasted like sweet tarts. And cost a whopping $6.50 for a bitsy little glass. Whatevs. Old people's livers don't work as well as mine, so I can see how they can get away with upping the price. I was also surprised at this freaky gigantic beer tap that was ordered for the table. It seemed like a little bit of frat boy flava delivered to a demographic that could be their parents or grandparents. It was a wicked cool cylindrical device that held three pitchers and had a chilled center at the base. A gigantic bong of of booze if you will. Since I'm indecisive I went with the sampler: meat lasagna, chicken parmesan and fettuccine alfredo. Aside from the fact that it needed salt (again, my blood pressure probably isn't as high as the older folks), the meal was pretty tasty. The alfredo was lackluster, but I've rarely had good alfredo from a restaurant so it was no surprise. I also grazed on a piece of The Works pizza with sausage, pepperoni, onions, mushroom, red and green peppers. That was far superior and the left over pizza reheated to a lovely crisp in the oven the next day. The entertainment was probably the highlight of the evening. There was a 50+ (don't want to offend by guessing wrong), petite female performer in what could have doubled as a figure skating outfit singing her little heart out on stage. She had a great voice, oozed mature sex appeal all over the male customers (no need for viagra that night) and took requests like the pro she was. All ages were shakin' what their momma gave them up in front of the stage, me included, and it was a surprising amount of fun. I never knew Sun City could be so spry! Respect.

Love this place. Its like a neighborhood bar, but all grown up. You can enjoy a nice delicious meal. The entertainment is always great. Make reservations, gets crowded during the summer months. Service is outstanding.
