Scalini's Pizza & Pasta

Great pizzas, pastas, etc. The staff is friendly and they pay attention to their service. It's usually pretty crowded so you may want to call ahead, but it's rarely a long wait for a table even if you just pop in while you're in the neighborhood.

My husband and I met a friend here for dinner while we were in town from out of state. He said he’s been coming to this restaurant for the past 13 or so years so we took that as a good sign! We started our meal with garlic bread with mozzarella which was fantastic , they were not shy with the cheese! We also all ordered salads which came already dressed with their house Italian. Between the three of us, we ordered the pan seared salmon, a pepperoni pizza and chicken Parmesan. Everything was served quickly and was fantastic! Some of the best Italian food I’ve had outside of my own kitchen.

Scalini’s is fantastic! It’s a pretty tiny place that’s always crowded... because the food is top-notch but affordable. The large thin-crust pizza was still under $20, I think. The staff is really friendly and efficient. Some of the customers expect to be seated right away on Friday nights and are rude, but the staff handle it well. They do a great job. I always love coming here, and I order carry-out pizza sometimes, too. You guys are amazing!!!

Walked in thinking it was under the other name.
Ordered the combo plate.
This place doesn't serve very creamy white sauces but the flavor behind them is so superbly placed together its a dream.
Even the bread rolls are fresh and hot and soft with just the right amount of garlic and butter that they almost melt in your mouth. I was a little sceptical at first but these guys came out on top with Five Star Flavor.

I grew up in Lakewood. My huge family has come to Scalini’s for years and years. It’s one of our most favorite restaurants! I now live in Austin but every time I come home to Dallas, Scalini’s is our first stop. Consistently delicious pizzas and amazing service, great family feels!
