We had the buffet. It was small but everything was fresh. They were constantly bring out new and fresh dishes. The desert was lacking. It was like a funnel cake donut in a aluminum pan. Everyone was very friendly. We were looking for a different place but could t find it so we came here on a whim and it’s great!!
We came to shop at IKEA but wanted to eat first. We found this restaurant through the reviews on Zomato. The high rating is very accurate. We had the veggie platter for an appetizer. It was delicious. We had a traditional thin pizza. Meatballs were wonderful. We also shared the veal parm. Everything was fresh and delicious. The portions were large enough to have leftovers for tomorrow. Our waitress was exceptional. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. If your shopping in the area it is a great place!

It only got a 5 because I couldnt rate it any higher. The food is awesome, the staff is phenomenal, and the pricing is great. Bring your appetite because the portions are huge!!
Update 6/14/2017. Back again and again. Still rocks!!!
Wonderful restaurant. Excellent food and service. Friendly and courteous managers. Pizza was amazing. We got the Julianos Classic Pizza with spinach and tomato. We will definitely be back.
Four of us went to have dinner May 1st on the recommendation of my son-in-law, Seth W. My daughter and he have been married living West of Pittsburgh,PA. The outside is plain looking and very rustic. Don't let the look of the outside make you pass this restaurant by.
The rural style hearty big platefuls of incredibly good southern Italian fare will tingle your taste buds and make you believe you've passed the exam to get into food heaven!
Our Italian style entrees were
1. fettuccine Alfredo with a much lighter than average cream sauce
2. Eggplant rollatini the Sunday special@
3. pasta combo with ravioli, sweet sausage, and meatball in a heavenly sweet red sauce.
If you go to Pittsburgh eat at Juliano's at Robinson.
Here is the thing...What they are famous for is very average - their pizza...I think it is because I do not like their cheese...However, alot of the other items on the menu are very delicious - Clam Linguini, Gnocchi, Hoagies, Appetizers all very delicious....Don't get me wrong the pizza is not bad, I just think it is missing something - I think it would be better if they did not use a blend - straight mozzarella....Nick Scalise (the owner) is a good guy and very accomodating - I have always wanted his autograph due to his likeness of Keith Hernandez....: )
Wow! If you want the best pizza in the Pittsburgh area, this is the place to go. I love the traditional but my wife loves the Sicilian so we usually switch off each time we go. Now however, I have fallen in love with the Rigatoni Juliano's which is a blend of Alfredo and Marinara sauces so have a hard time deciding which to order.
Juliano's Restaurant came through once again! My husband had an appt nearby so we knew exactly where we were stopping for lunch. Love their traditional sausage pizza. We will be back again soon.

Good Tasting Italian Food. Juliano's may not be the fanciest restaurant in town and certainly not considered an upscale eatery; however, if you want good old fashioned service with a smile . . . and a consistently good Italian spaghetti sauce this is the place to go. A very down home atmosphere with reasonable prices for savory Italian food . . . their pizza is excellent as well. I highly recommend this family establishment to anyone who has a taste for Italiano foodie :-) . . . Don't change a thing Mr. Juliano!
GET SICILIAN STYLE PIZZA. Sicilian pizza is very soft, doughy, with great sauce. Almost seems to melts in your mouth. You HAVE to try it. Great pizza, calzones, pasta; you can't go wrong. Great service and friendly, cool environment. I am from South Carolina, and the south doesn't have pizza on the level of up north. I ate at Julianos this Saturday, and I can't stress enough how delicious it is. Thanks guys!
Visiting from Alabama and wanted to try out some good local pizza. Great casual dining place with a surprisingly diverse menu. The garlic breadsticks were delicious and the pizza was so crispy! What made the experience complete was meeting the owner (Nick). It's always most enjoyable when you know you are patronizing a good family business!
I just had wings the other day and they were amazing.
The Best Buffalo Chicken Salad in Pittsburgh Hands Down!!!!. I just have to say that I recently visited Juliano's Restaurant and ordered the Buffalo Chicken Salad with the Nick's House Italian for the dressing and it was out of this world.. I am hooked on them between the huge baked crinkle fries and the fresh mozzarella cheese and the fixings its DELICIOUS. My wife is a very picky eater when it come eating Chicken and she eats every last bite of it which means a lot since most of time I end up eating the pieces that do not right to her, iI's cooked perfect and just the right amount of hot sauce not like the over powering stuff you get at most other restaurants. You can tell Nick puts pride into his Food.
The service is unparalleled. Great place to eat!
My honest opinion. A friend of mine just told me about a rude comment sent to Juliano's on this website. After reading it, I felt a need to respond. As a Christian, I found it ironic that someone would be so perturbed for not getting their plain pizza on Good Friday and still find the time to criticize Juliano's in a public forum.
Yes, I would say the writer observed the letter of the law, like the Pharisees, to fast from meats but neglected the weightier matters, and missed the whole point of Lent... to change and soften the heart. Your attitude toward the people of Juliano's was not kind, tolerant, or very charitable. Certainly, your issues should have been dealt with in private, God Bless!!!
Just tried there new chicken sandwiches. They are delicious! Order them everyday!
I have visited for the last two days while at training in the area. I have been pleasantly surprised with the price of the good and the kindness of the gentleman I assume to be Nick. Clearly he takes personally how to run the business. Well appreciated! Good job!
This is by far the friendliest, most delicious restaurant we have been to. Best pasta and pizza. We travel 1/2 hr. To eat there & always have leftovers.
Delicious food and great service. I recommend the Lasagna
Tasty Italian hoagie. The bread was very thick and crusty, good, but not my preference. Looking forward to trying the pizza.
Old fashioned little place. Staff was very friendly. Owner or manager took care of us at the register- seems very involved with his team. Food was good. Service was fast. We all gave it a solid B rating.
Awesome. One of the best Italian joints in Pittsburgh. Great food, awesome service and reasonably priced. The only negative is the 1.50 delivery charge but I can live with that. This is one of my favorite restaurants.
Best Italian Food. We were staying at a nearby hotel on our way home to Ontario, and decided to make a reservation, because the write up on line sounded so good. I had the gnocci's(best I ever had) and my husband had the shrimp and pasta. Salad was quite fresh, and really enjoyed it. We were too full for dessert, so we decided to get the panne fritte to go, should of got two orders we loved them. All was excellent, We would thoroughly recommend Juliano's, and I AM ITALIAN. I will definitely make this a regular stop, on our way south. By the way service was great. Gloria and Russ
Excellent pizza, prompt & friendly service. Visited with my elderly mom on a Tuesday evening, 5 pm. Restaurant just starting to get busy. Was seated immediately. Had a thin-crust "Firenze" pizza - onions, green peppers, mushrooms. Excellent. Also had a tossed salad: not fancy, but fresh and tasty.
Not cheap, but a fair price for what I got. Nice selection of beers in the cooler, but it's not a place for heavy drinking.
Am not from that area and had no prior knowlege of Juliano's. Would definitely recommend. And would go again!
Great Food/Price. I found out about Juliano's from a Facebook friend recently and have been there a few times. I enjoyed the food very much and the portions are very nice for the price. Can't wait to go back again, it's my new favorite place to dine.
Good food, good people. Reasonable prices
The BEST. For years I have hungered for the pizza of my youth - in the fifties everyone I knew grouped at Dell's in Bloomfield for the most wonderful Pizza. Needless to say that 'kind' of pizza no longer exists there, nor anywhere else that I could find. And then, hey presto! We stopped at Juliano's on our way to our airport motel and decided to drop in. The pizza was superb and in some ways even BETTER than my long remembered pizza of the past. Our waitress was informative and personable, she listened to what we wanted i.e. crust where the bubbles were NOT bursted andsoforth. We now have a permanent on the way to the airport and returning home destination. BRAVO!
Review. Great place to dine....they have the best pizza ever.....never had a bad meal there...and friendly employees too. Nick the owner always makes sure you are welcomed and satisfied. All restaurants should be like Juliano's.
If there was a zombie apocalypse and I could only save one person, I would save the person who makes the Juliano's sauce pizza! By far my favorite pizza in the world.
Great!. I live an hour away from Pittsburgh. my girlfriend suggested going to juliano's cause its close to her home. so we went. i just got wings cause i wasn't all that hungry. the wings and sauce are the best i ever had. these wings beat bw3s and quaker lubes wings. i would defiantly come back to julianos. well worth the hour drive just to eat here.
Friendly,fast service. Food tastes like home cooking. Delicious and hot. A great little neighborhood Italian restaurant.
Floating Wedding Rehearsal Dinner. I had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner on Fantasy a cruise ship operated by Pittsurgh Cruise Lines in Pittsburgh, Pa.. Juliano's provided the meal for the event and the food was superb and the caterer staff was unbelieable. I had soooo many compliments from everyone on board about the quality and taste of the food that I was really swelled up with pride.. Juliano's I thank for your service and ease in which worked together to make my son's party a great sucess. Thanks again for a "JOB WELL DONE!"
Ron and Lucy Bogdan
Love IT!!!. We absolutely love this restaurannt! Great service!
The food is always amazing, ecspecially the pizza and pane fritte!!
The sauce. I am very choosy when it comes to the sauce on my pasta. I must say I was pleasantly surprised! Most red sauces are too sweet. I want to taste the flavor of the tomatoes. Excellent!
AWESOME!!!!! Pasta ala Niko yummy
Absolutely love this restaurant!!! Great food! Amazing people working here! They always make sure uou had a great experience
Wow. My fiance and I love the food and the friendly environment. She and her family introduced me to the restaurants and her fellow co-workers. Overall, I love eating there.
Gerald Michniak
Absolutely the best! Food was amazing, service was excellent! Cant say enough good things! Thank You for an excellent meal.
Very friendly services.. Food was excellent.. First time here and would make this a regular place to dine..
Carrie was very quick and accommodating! Salads were fantastic, great atmosphere too
Best salads in Pittsburgh!!
Spot on. Great little family place. Service was awesome and food even better. Portions are huge so you may want to consider sharing.
Never disappointed! Super friendly service, fantastic pizza and wings, and phenomenol baked fish dinner.
I have to say that Juliano's has an incredible buffalo chicken pizza. I got it with hot peppers and it was crispy and delicious.
Best pizza ever. I have tried pizza from many different places since I was a litlle kid and Juliano's is the best I have ever had. My son Brendan loves it also as do all members of our family. When an out of town guest comes to our home and pizza is what we want, I will only take them to Juliano's. Without exception, they love the pizza. Recently, during Lent I have fallen in love with their fish sandwiches too. If you go to Juliano's, you will be so happy that you did. And so will your guests!
They Don't Make Places Like This Anymore. Cozy old school italian restaurant atmosphere. The service was very friendly. Every single food item tasted better than the next. Their bowl of wedding soup was HUGE and delicious, their sauce is amazing...and their Pepperoni roll was a sight to behold. We'll be going back again and again.
Great Food!. My husband and I and also many of our friends, love the food at Juliano's. and the friendly service! Some of the BEST FOOD AROUND
Robin Tobias
I have been going to julianos for a LONG time and continue to stay impressed with their delicious food and friendly staff! I love it there!
Great Local Eatery. Juliano's provides consistent quality food at a good price with friendly service and good prices. The people are local and stand behind their service.
Best Place to Eat!!!. This restaurant is definitely the place to go to get some really good food! Whether you have to drive a little bit or if you're a local you really should take the time to visit this restaurant. Excellent food and very nice atmosphere, just all in all a great place to dine.
Great homemade Italian restaurant. Don't let the decor fool you, the food is delicious. Got the pan pizza and the dough was light and fluffy and the sauce and cheese was awesome. My wife got the cheese ravioli and again, homemade sauce, not something bought from the store. Delish. Recommended restaurant indeed.
Our family loves Alfredo, but hardly anyone makes it from scratch anymore because of the cost, so at $20 a plate we were hopeful of quality. Wow, we were not disappointed. The sauce was made in heaven and the portion large enough to share.
We highly suggest the Chicken Ala Nico. Made with portobello mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, penne pasta and drenched in that heavenly garlic rich sauce. Do it, do it now!
We tried a smattering of everything. Everything was excellent and the wait staff was all over it. When we make it back to Pittsburgh we will be back. Thanks for not skimping on quality!
Very good food. Nice atmosphere. But our server was weird af
First time getting pizza from Juliano's. I was definitely pleased. Crust is crisp with the right amount of chew inside, sauce is very good and not too acidic, it has a home made cooked all day kind of flavor. I will definitely be back for pizza and will try other things. Gave 4 stars because it was my first time. If other menu items are on par with the pizza I will amend and rate 5 stars. Staff is friendly and helpful. Great job!
Excellent food!
I like the chicken winds the most and recommend it to wind fans for a try. IMO it’s the best winds I had so far in Pittsburgh.
Pizza is at high quality and fresh. I guess it’s kind of deep dish style, but I enjoy it very much.
I will visit again.
Absolutely delicious food! Great sized portions and the price is on point. The only reason it isn't 5 star is because the only thing that could have been a little better was the speed of the service. Luckily we were there to take our time and not in a hurry. Seemed like their carry out window was just as busy as the indoor dining. Will definitely be back!
Juliano’s catered both of my sister’s graduation parties and their food was amazing. We received many compliments on our menu. Rosanne is great to work with! Would highly recommend using them for your party needs.
