I think this place is awesome. I have frequented this local joint probably 25x and have never been disappointed. Mind you that my pallet is limited vs. the menu that isn't large but they do have several pasta specials that look good. Pizza and subs are great. Booz are available if your of age. Enjoy!

Very friendly staff and good food. Although the food is not mind-blowing, it is still very good for the price. Their food selection ranges from pizzas to cheese steaks, and I have yet to try something from Here that I haven't liked. A great place for quick casual dining or pick-up after work.

I would return. Had the Baked Ziti and my friend had the Baked Lasagna. Both meals were delicious. Great customer service, clean place. Inviting and the plate presentation was nice and looked fresh. Place was busy and others were picking up food to-go. I would recommend it.

I like their pizza, salads, and lasagna. Nice decor. Close to home and affordable for family of 4. I'm a pizza lover from NYC who's always on the prowl for a pizza that's similar in taste. To me it's all about the sauce (not too sweet or salty) and quality of the cheese (if its greasy no bueno). IMHO, Italian Sensations makes a good pizza.

Can't go wrong with the pizza. I haven't tried much of anything else on the menu but all the different pizzas have been very good. It's my favorite pizza place & reasonable prices. It also has a casual dining room.

Good food. Good prices. Fast service. Had the chicken bruschetta pizza and it was loaded with a ton of chicken and tomatoes. Definitely fills you up. Had the cheesesteak which was good, it was a cheesesteak after all and also the buffalo wings. The wings were huge, but sometimes were a hit or miss. You didn't know if you were going to bite into batter or actual chicken. Chicken parm portions were also monstrous which was awesome because there was definitely more than enough to share or take home for second dinner. It leaned on the little bit of the salty side though. Was disappointed with the caesar salad. They tossed it in so much dressing and cheese that it literally made every leaf wilt under the weight. Would ask for all of that stuff on the side or just ask them to go easy on the dressing.

Eggplant parmesan is the best ever! Can't find out better in any other restaurant...including fancy upscale ones.

Ordered pasta for myself and then waited 20 minutes for my fiance to get a cheese steak with just meat and cheese. Was told was still in the oven when asked about it and people around were served when they came quite a bit after us. Not a bit happy that my fiance had to watch eat and now I her.

Great food and fast service. We always get a Sensation salad to start. It has feta and roasted red peppers, get the house dressing with it. Their white pizza is great as well as most if their pasta dishes. The Italian cold cut is outstanding.

Love the bruschetta pizza and the cheesesteaks. The staffs real nice and the owners always at the carry out front. Nice place, only thing I don't like is the booths they are too low and too small

I love these kind of places. There are quite a few italian restaurants around that operate in pretty much the same way. They are all located in shopping centers. You walk in and there is a carry out counter. You walk past that and you have a complete view of the Kitchen and at the end of the counter you find a young kid ready to take your order. We placed our order. They had an appetizer that was called "meatballs" and nothing else ... had to order that. Two salads, two entrees, two drinks, $40 bill and we picked out our seats. Moments after we sat down food started rolling out. Not only were they fast ... the food was awesome. Overall this is a great go to spot for a casual dining experience. I would imagine just about anything is good to eat here but when the kid ask you what you want say " I want Balls" and see what his reaction is. I'm not afraid to admit that they were delicious.

I met a few friends here for lunch. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. I judge Italian restaurants on their egg plant parm or their garlic/onion/anchovy pizza. This meal I had the eggplant parm. It was thinly sliced and tasty. The bread, sauce and fries were all standard fare. The interior was tastefully decorated and clean. Parking is abundant.

My family loves the pizza here. An easy stop any time, while always somewhat busy with patrons, there's usually always a place to sit. Every so often you'll catch a local sports team having a celebration feast. My best experience here is the awesome attention payed to a special order I made. I ordered the focaccia burger but without bread, and though the young man at the register took a second look, it was no problem. Not only was it not a problem, but when the burger came out it wasn't just slapped on a plate without a bun; it was beautifully arranged. It came with the burger placed on top of the sliced tomatos with the cheese and bacon melted over it and the lettuce stacked on top. I was quite impressed with the care given to the presentation and that is was made to be a meal instead of an order that was missing something traditional.

We enjoy Italian Sensations regularly. Sometimes we eat in the dining room and sometimes we get take-out. Its deep dish pizza is among the best pizza I have ever eaten; my favorite is a sausage and pepperoni combo. The calzone and sandwiches are also good, as are the salads. I often recommend it to parents from out of town schools attending events at my child's school, which is close to the restaurant. My only criticism is that some dishes are a bit salty, but I like very little salt. Love Italian Sensations.

This restaurant is an informal/ neighborhood Italian type of a place. The food is fantastic and I have never had a bad meal here. The food ranges from pizza to pasta dishes. The portion sizes are very generous. The quality of the food is high. Some of the pasta dishes are wonderful reinventions of classics, while others are very traditional. The salads and deserts are excellent. The pizzas can be round or square and both are great. I've never had bad food at this place. At this restaurant, you order before sitting down and then your food is brought to you when it is ready. The restaurant is clean and the people behind the counter are friendly. I do miss the days before they got their liquor license because my wine is way better than the cheap Napa stuff they sell.

went here due to all the good reviews, however I don't think Ill go back. the bruschetta pizza was decent at best, the Panini was hard as a rock, very hard to eat. the menu prices on here are wrong also. maybe I am just too used to NYC pizza.

This is my go to place in Churchville, Bel Air area. They are clean, casual, fast, fairly priced, and have excellent food! My favorite thing to get is the Tuscany Chicken Panini. ;) I often crave it. Their food is fresh and they have great variety. I would recommend ordering whole pizza over a slice, I just like it better. However the Chicken bruschetta slices are awesome if you are just getting one for yourself. The owners are nice, friendly and funny. I enjoy coming here regularly. Good for all party sizes. Many families, sports teams, co-workers eat here in large groups. The service is always on point. I have rarely had any complaints for as many times as I go here. Portions are generous. I would bring friends here or recommend it to anyone looking for a good place to eat in the area that isn't an un-healthy fast-food or chain.

We order food from here all the time. If you are on a diet skip it. The rigatoni bella is my favorite. Portabella mushrooms with pasta and marsala wine. Its addicting. The salads are great and their meatballs and sauce are outstanding. You can not go wrong ordering anything from this restaurant. The food is quality and the taste is excellent. If you are have room their cannoli's are addicting.

The best Italian coldcuts around. Their pesto mayo is to die for. Pizza is great as well as all of their other options. The sierra turkey and the chicken breast sandwhich are also great.

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.
