Recently my parents took me out to eat dinner here. I am Italian and love Italian food. A few years ago I chose to live a whole food plant-based, vegan lifestyle for several reasons. As a result, going out to eat can be quite challenging oftentimes.
I wrote down all of the ingredients I saw on the menu that I could eat, handed it to the chef and told him he could get as creative as he wanted using only those listed ingredients.
I think I had the best meal in the restaurant that night! And it was hands down one of the most delicious Italian meals I've ever had! It meant so much that chef created a meal off the menu that I could eat. There is no doubt, customer satisfaction is this chef's #1 priority!
If you love Italian food and you're a vegan...definitely visit The Happy Italian! They certainly made this vegan Italian happy! ���
My husband & I love Happy Italian. The food is so much more than pizza, although the pizza is also so awesome we don’t go anywhere else for pizza any more. The owner is very dedicated to 1st rate ingredients. The Italian plate menu specials are wonderful; this is NOT chain restaurant food. Thanks Lenny, Sandy & Gavin for so many wonderful meals. No bullies here, just great attentive service.
MY NEW FAVORITE PIZZA PLACE!!!
Absolutely delicious, so delicious we couldn't wait for the pic to take some pieces/bites.
Get it, you won't be disappointed. The pizza Blanco puts other Alfredo pizzas to shame!!!
I Always love Happy Italian! They have the BEST PEPPORONI PIZZA! Home of the original meatspace pizza which I need to try soon!
They Always have the best daily lunch and dinner specials, the best soups , and the best desserts. You can't go wrong here. Something for everyone! Pizza, poboys, delicious pastas, calzones, fresh fish, great salads, lasagna and a FULL BAR. Whaaa
Happy Italian was phenomenal. Chef Lenny and Sandra give amazing personal service and the food was awesome. The pizzas are great but don’t miss the entrees which are way more sophisticated and refined than you’d expect from a neighborhood pizzeria. Stuffed as we were we had desserts (all homemade) including the pistachio cheesecake with wildflower honey and the Girl Scout cookie pie made from thin mints and lemon cookies. They were fantastic. Don’t miss this place.
I love Happy Italian! I wanted to go there for my birthday, and I did! (with family) I enjoyed the Eggplant Parmesan and the bowl of vegetables! I love the food and the service is always great too! Terri was our waitress and she was so nice and attentive! The experience at Happy Italian is always wonderful!!!
My family loves this place so much. Terri is always a super hostess. I've never had anything that wasn't delicious.
We've dined in and had the entire staff thank us for coming. We've waited outside in the cold just to eat here (it's a small, popular place) and had amazing service once seate. We've also ordered take out several times and every time the food is amazing!
My favorite is the mussels. They aren't always available but when they are I always get them. So freaking good!
My daughter loves the pizza rolls and my son is obsessed with the macaroni and cheese. You seriously can't go wrong with any order!
Happy Italian is always scrumptious. I cannot complain about any one thing about this restaurant. The chef/owner is always on point and the wait staff is friendly and fast. Everything is homemade and fresh at all times. Also, they do make and bake where they prepare the dish and you can take it home to put it in the oven like you cooked it ... 😉
