Open really late, good selection of food and beer. Will definitely try again when I have a late night Italian craving. I had the manicotti and my partner had the chicken Alfredo. Packaged really well by the staff for pick up- I was surprised at how well they packed the bags with tiny packets of Parmesan, napkins, plastic wear, etc.

The pizza wasn't greasy at all and was served piping hot, with a thin crust that wasn't a cracker. We also got a round of drinks, I had a yuengling from the tap and my wife got a light one from the bottle. prices were low for the drinks and our waitress was very nice.

Awesome place! I got chicken parm with spaghetti, a side salad, and I've got to say it surpassed expectations. Only thing I wish was different would be angel hair pasta!

Great pizza, but a couple caveats: 1) my entire family and our 4 guests were all vomiting the day after having Ioconos recently. 2) twice in past 6 months, I ordered for pick-up and was quoted 20 minutes, but it took 35+ minutes to get them (I like to set a timer after placing an order). I always arrive 5 minutes early (no one likes cold pizza). Tonight, it took 39 MINUTES to get my pizzas... I'm nearly 100% certain that based on cook times, they couldn't have possibly started preparing my pizzas until I arrived. TIME IS PRECIOUS... If Ioconos doesn't start respecting my time, I'll take my business elsewhere. Good pizza places are a dime a dozen (Donatos is literally right across the street). I'm considering this a lenient strike 2, but I won't be back for a while.

I had their pep pizza. It was overcooked almost burnt. The only thing that saved me from giving this a lower rating is the sauce on the pizza was great.

Good food for a great price. Ordered the Italian sub and salad bar and was very pleased. The sub was big enough to share and the salad bar offered several options. If you want fast and great service, I recommend Iacono's.

Pizza quest 2013 stopped into Iacono's last night. Iacono's serves up a traditional, edge to edge Ohio pizza on thin, crackery crust. Indeed, the crust is more crakery than most places (if you like the cracker-style, give it a try). We fired up our traditional pep and shroom. The pepperoni was laid low under the shrooms and cheese, so there was no cupping or crisping of the peps. Sauce and cheese ratios were all good. The sauce is a bit on the tart side, which was a nice counterbalance to the normally salty pizza toppings. What Iacono's did really well were the shrooms. Unlike most places, Iacono's shaved the mushrooms very thin and then piled them on. Exposing more area of each mushroom to the heat in this manner really brings out the cooked mushroom taste (which I love). Per our new tradition, we also ordered up some meatballs. The meatballs are a decent size for a buck each. They come in a ton of sauce, which is slightly sweet and tart (very savory and good). The extra sauce ended up in a dipping bowl for my pizza. The meatballs themselves are nicely herbed and not too dense (i.e., easy cutting with a fork). It's difficult to make large meatballs that aren't hard to fork through, so kudos to Iacono's on that front. I'm not a big edge to edge, cracker crust guy, but the pizza was A-OK. I'd definitely return for the meatballs, which stole the show.

I really like this Iaconos location and crave their pizza on a regular basis. Like I've written before, pizza is personal and this is one of my favorites in Columbus. It isn't the closest pizza shop or the most convenient, but I truly enjoy the thickness of the crust, the flavor of the sauce and the pepperoni. Just my preference. The restaurant itself is family-friendly. It's nothing fancy, but serves up incredible homemade pasta. I know a few people who will drive across town to order their spaghetti and meatballs or some pasta dish. The simple dining room consists of a few wall booth and your typical wood tables with red & white checkered table cloths. There's also a few TV's mounted on the walls. Iacono's has daily dinner specials and a pizza and salad buffet. The menu has both wine and beer- and if you're picking up a pizza the refrigerator in the entryway has decent selection of six-packs to carry out. They also deliver in a few mile radius of Kenny Road. Overall, I like Iaconos for it's affordable, rib-sticking, homemade food. It's a homey place where you can take the whole noisy family.

My favorite pizza in CBus! Best sauce, cracker like crust. Homemade spaghetti is great as well. The restaurant itself is a true hole in the wall - bad chairs and deco abound but the food is great. A perfect place to take kids.

Iacono's offers classic Columbus style pizza, (thin crust, edge to edge toppings, square cut), crispy subs, delicious homemade pasta, meatballs, sauce, and sausage. One large, one topping pizza will set you back about $14.50. However, on Monday nights they offer a large, one topping for $10.95. Also, Iacono's has by far the best lunch buffet. For $7.50, you can get an unlimited supply of pizza, salad, and drink . If my family is in the mood for pizza or Italian fare, we go to Iacono's.

Ick. I had heard such amazing things about Iacono's. So one day while I was out and about, I decided to visit the Sawmill Road location. Closed. I huge pain, since I had gone out of my way to go there. Nevertheless, I was going to try Iacono's yet. I tracked down another location -- this one on Kenny Road; it was open. I had to walk through an odd front carry-out area to get to the dining room. The dining room was large and weirdly set up. There was a sketchy looking buffet in the corner (a small salad bar, soup and three types of pizza). There was no one to seat me (though the sign said to wait). Once a server showed up, she told me I could have just sat down. Hmm. I had the bacon and pepperoni pie. It was OK. Thin, crackery crust covered in toppings usually wins me over, but not so here. The pizza didn't have much flavor to speak of. Perhaps if the experience leading up to lunch had been better, I might have enjoyed Iacono's more. But I doubt it.

I had an Italian sub, carry out, from here. Overall it was pretty good, better than what I expected. The food is cheap, but good. I've never had the pizza or Italian food, but I would go back.

Look. 3-stars is a pretty good rating. A-OK, indeed. This location is great for me. Every time I come here, I wonder why I don't come more often. On this particular and most recent visit, I was out and about after a loooong day of errands. I was feeling a little under the weather and wanted some comfort food, but nothing too heavy. I decided a to-go order of Iacono's giant homemade meatballs in their delicious sauce would do the trick. Mmmm! I knew I had some sourdough bread at home and thought just eating the meatballs would be good, and I could sop up the sauce with my leftover bread. Well... I also thought some soup sounded good, since I was feeling a little sicky. I asked if they had any soup, and they said they had some minestrone. Great! Not so great. I'm 99% sure this minestrone came from a can. I think this was just some reheated Campbell's. I asked for the meatballs and two portions of soup to go, and I waited quite awhile for my order to be ready. At one point one of the guys came out from around the corner and said he had to "heat up more soup." Yeah, and open the can! This was upsetting, obviously, since the reason I love Iacono's is for that homemade Italian feeling. While waiting on my order, I began to crave some pizza or a sub as I watched these delights come out of the oven. I will be back again soon to satisfy this craving. Iacono's... your meatballs saved this review. Delicious and flavorful as I expected. Now, either start making homemade soup, or take it off your menu!

I had dinner there tonight. I hadn't been to this location but to the one on Sawmill. For $11 including tax, I got an order of lasagna, free rein at the salad bar and the soup station. That made it a pretty good deal. The food wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. But it won't make my list of great Italian restaurants.

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.
