Customer Reviews
The food was fine, Could have had more spice or flavor to the Lasagna, the Long hots were good although the potatoes seemed like they were reheated. The pasta dish was very watery. Everything was fine . Will try the pizza next time
Max’s to the rescue! 🍕Last weekend, our original caterer for our daughter’s birthday party canceled on us last minute. I found out about 5 minutes before the party began that nothing was ready, so I called Max’s for an emergency pizza order. We were able to get 6 pies, 2 gluten free pizzas, a delicious full tray of grilled chicken, meatballs and baked ziti. It was all delivered within a little over an hour and everyone was pleased! Thank you max’s for saving the day!
Where else can you get 2 slices and a can of soda for $5 in 2026? And get friendly service? Well, here at Max's! I also had for dinner their chicken parm and that too was reasonably priced, fresh, and a large portion. You must try it if you are in the area.
I would give them 10 stars if I could. I came in here during the flooding yesterday with my toddler. I was quite distressed, but they took such good care of us. They assured us that they will stay open for us to keep us safe and Melissa, the hostess, even was gracious enough to give my kid a clean diaper. Not to mention, the pizza was great and my two year old ate his slices happily. It was at such a great price too! I told my husband today that if we ever order pizza, we need to make sure it’s from Max’s in the future.
Based on other reviews, we decided to try out the restaurant. Ordered the fried calamari which was clearly frozen and not fresh. House salad dressing was definitely not house made and tasted exactly like store bought wishbone robust Italian dressing. Finally cavatelli and broccoli came out like soup. Not the worst but definitely not authentic Italian. More like cheap typical American Italian food.
