Just finished my lunch at work that was delivered, and let me tell you...the amount of food could feed an army and their prices are fantastic! The stromboli was huge, enough for a couple meals, and the Greek salad was the best one I've had in a long time. We will be ordering from here again!

I don’t usually go for homemade pizza places because I’m scared the flavor won’t be good but we absolutely loved our pizzas from here! And the staff was incredibly friendly! Will definitely be coming back!

Food was good but it took twenty minutes to get it. I went here on my lunch break but it takes too long to get food.

I visited this Soprano Italian Restaurant in June 2025. I was initially thinking to go to the nearby Taco Bell, but decided to try this place out instead. I'm glad I did. Upon entering this location in the afternoon, one of the staff pleasantly greeted me, gave me a menu, and began telling me about the place, while giving me my space and not being pushy. The owners are apparently Egyptian, not Italian, and such was a bit surprising, especially when so many people these days are griping about "cultural appropriation," but I don't care much about who started or engages in particular cultures. To me, it's about whether the culture is good or not, and in this regard this Soprano's restaurant is 100% excellent at making the Italian food I ordered, and I'm saying this as someone who is part Italian in my ancestry and as someone who speaks the Italian language in addition to English and other languages. I got a few things here: a Sopranos sampler platter (fried chicken tenders, fried onion rings, fried mushrooms, and fried cheese sticks, and Buffalo style fried chicken legs), and two roughly 14 inch long sub sandwich specials (one being a cheese steak sub for me, and the other being a Soprano's special for my Father, who is part Italian and has eaten Italian subs his entire life). The last bona fide cheese steak sub I had was actually in the downtown market in Philadelphia about 25 years ago, so I was long overdue for a good cheese steak. The one I got from this place was about 14 inches long (cut in half to make two 7 inch halves), and it was excellent. Loaded with steak and complemented with onions, green peppers, and cheese, and with the bun toasted some, it was absolutely delicious and an authentic cheese steak sub. They were even willing to customize it for me (putting tomatoes on one half and not on the other half). It came with a side of fries, which had a great flavor and quantity, but could have been a little crispier, and also a drink (I chose the lemonade from their choices, and it was not very good, but the iced sweetened tea was very good). The Soprano sampler platter was excellent. The onion rings and chicken tenders were phenomenal. The fried mushrooms and cheese sticks were also good, but not as good as the onion rings and chicken tenders. The Buffalo style chicken legs that were part of such were very good. My Father (and Mother) ate the Soprano special sub (loaded with different meats and cheeses), and they loved it. My Father insisted my Mom now get him subs from this place from time to time. The lunchtime special price for one sub meal was 11.99 (which included the 14 inch sub, plus a drink, plus a side of fries or chips). The subs here are better, larger, tastier, and less expensive than at the Subway fast food restaurant. The service here was very fast, and they had everything done within 5-10 minutes of placing the order. I got it to go, and they put it all in Styrofoam containers shown in the photos here (I took these photos at home, not in the restaurant). There was plenty of seating in the front of the restaurant, but some of it could use some upgrading. The booths are great and comfortable as they are, and don't need upgrading. If you're coming here to eat here, ask to sit in one of the booths, but if coming here for pick up and take out, it's fine sitting anywhere. They also do deliveries to the local area. While there, employees from nearby businesses and restaurants came here for lunch, which to me further reinforces my conclusion that this is a good place with excellent food. I rate the food here that I had as overall 5 stars, the service as 5 stars, and the atmosphere as 3 stars (due to needing above mentioned upgrades). After trying this place out, I'm glad I did and will be back from time to time.
