Pasquale's Pizza
3 reviews for Pasquale's Pizza
Pasquale's is a locally owned chain in the Cincinnati area. They have been around since the 50's. The Bellevue location sits on the Avenue about half way through Bellevue towards Dayton, KY. I usually end up there after too many hours without food, low blood sugar and eyes much bigger than my stomach. The portions are big and they recently started working with a gallery down the street. For the first time in recent memory the walls are covered in something that while not incredible, is palatable.
The hoagies are huge and incredible but I'm a simple girl. Give me a root-beer and a huge piece of garlic bread smothered in mozzarella cheese and I'm happy, at least until my companions hoagies arrive which is when I start to covet and offer bribes for just a taste. Pasquale's is easily my favorite place to find pizza close to home when I want to avoid the major chains and have to get a pepperoni fix. The food can be a little greasy but not enough to deter an occasional night out on the Avenue.
This place seems to stay plenty busy! I have now been here twice; first time we had to get take out because on the Friday night we went, there were no empty tables. The pizza was hot and fresh and since we were using a coupon we received in the mail, the price was excellent.
Most recent visit was for an early (11 a.m.) weekday lunch. Again, a great experience! I had an individual sized bbq chicken pizza and garden salad. Both were great; I had leftovers on the pizza due to the size of the salad. Although the salad was basic (iceberg lettuce, tomato and lots of mozzarella) it was fresh and filling. The pizza was great, with chicken, bacon, bbq sauce and cheese. My son had an Italian sub, which he wolfed down (ok, he wolfs everything down!).
This local chain is obviously a tradition, having been around since the 50s. They also serve spaghetti, fish dinners, burgers and more.
Before you even make it through the door, you can smell the aroma of garlic butter. The scent is so tantalizing you'll start salivating just like Pavlov's four-legged friends. If you're going there for lunch don't be surprised if the place is packed with people lined up to order.
My personal favorite is the steak hoagie with cheese and pizza sauce, which is slathered with garlic butter but well worth the extra mints you'll need post-meal.
I'd like to give Pasquale's four-stars because I love their food, but I'm annoyed with the fact every single plate, utensil, and cup is paper, plastic, or Styrofoam. The amount of garbage they send to the landfill has to be atrocious.
