Large Supreme- Delicious & Huge! This was my first visit and I ordered a large supreme pizza for dinner. When I was handed the box I was surprised at how big the box was! I live about 3 minutes away and when I got in the door, I opened the box and fixed up my first slice in 2.5 seconds! The slices are huge and the pizza and toppings taste real. I believe all of Italy is in the kitchen! Five stars, my family will make this business a lot of money lol. The service was great too. Don't sleep on them ya'll! May God bless and prosper your business and the work of your hands.

Wanted to try this spot out many co-workers and friends had good things to say. The wife and I stopped by for dinner and were not disappointed. The waitress was on point excellent attitude, personality, and she knew the menu well. The restaurant was small but very clean. Food came out quick, served hot and had excellent taste. Portions were large and prices were worth the food we received. We will definitely be returning.

Cute little joint to our side of town. Garlic cheese bread is on point! Ordered two pizzas and garlic bread, all really good! Glad to have a pizza joint that isn’t a franchise near us. Also this lemon cake is amazing! Will definitely be back!

I walked in and was immediately greeted by the cashier, Trinity. The cook who I believe is the owner came to the table and introduced himself. He offered to go over the menu items and was not rushing. The portions are great! The garlic bread is amazing. The pasta, omg! You will not leave hungry after ordering the pasta and a garlic bread. There is a huge difference between a high schooler hired to serve food and an actual chef that takes pride in the food. I tasted the latter. The experience was amazing and I shall be returning often to test each pasta out.

This place is about 5 minutes away from our house, so we decided to give it a try. Didn't regret it one bit. Service is amazing and nice, and the waitress is respectful. The restaurant is clean, and the food is well portioned. Very tasteful. We were a party of 4 and only paid about $60. I would highly recommend this restaurant, and I would definitely be returning.

Honestly, Via Italia has the freshest pasta we’ve ever had in Killeen. You can really taste how homemade everything is — fresh, flavorful, and not greasy at all. The portions are just right for the price too. What really stood out was the service. We came in not realizing they closed at 9, but they still welcomed us and let us order, which meant a lot because I was starving and craving something homemade. This spot has officially made it onto our list of favorite restaurants in Killeen. If you’re in the mood for real Italian food, this is the place
