Assaggios Restaurant & Pizza

My husband and I just happened to find this delicious Pizzeria during lunch time when we went to the plaza for another reason. I got 2 slices of pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms and my husband got the lasagna which came with 3 garlic knots. Both of our favorites, and this place didn't disappoint. My pizza was hot, cheesy, with lots of pepperoni and mushrooms, with big slices that were cooked just the way I like it. I didn't try my husband's lasagna but he ate the whole thing and said it was delicious. We also got 2 drinks. For all that we paid right at $25! You can barely get a meal for 2 at a fast food place for less than that, and trust me this was way better! It was a beautiful day outside the day we went so I appreciated that they have a couple of outdoor tables so we could sit outside and enjoy our lunch. We'll definitely be back if we're in the area.

I ordered 6 dinner meals tonight, ordering it over the phone on our way home from hiking Raven Rock. Dinner was ready in 25 minutes! My in-laws wanted to treat us, so they went in to pick it up. 4 chicken parmigian dinners and 2 eggplant rollitini dinners, all with penne Ala vodka as the side pasta dish. Each dinner came with salad and they gave us 3 trays of garlic knots. The owner expressed how grateful he was for us purchasing that amount of dinner tonight. He said he threw in a bunch of garlic knots (we got 2 trays). The food was so delicious (best Italian we've found since moving here from NY 4 years ago) and we really loved how sweet, appreciative and grateful the owner was for our business. We absolutely will be back and supporting this business!

Assaggio's is a favorite for many reasons...I can vouch for the pizza and the lasagna because those are two favorites that I do not attempt to make at home. Even when they are busy with takeout orders and the tables are almost all occupied, the service meets and exceeds expectations. The location and parking is easy and, regardless of the time of day, I always feel safe.
