    I've only ordered delivery but it's  been consistently good. I can count on them to do large orders with no complaints (and they deliver them on time*bonus*)
    The chicken & broccoli alfredo calzone is my fav. They have the largest servings of frozen yogurt for the price.
    The only reason i can't honestly give 5 stars is that I have never had an in-store experience.

    They deliver frozen yogurt. Complete with mix-ins.

    You're wondering why I am still typing, right? Fro-yo delivery is the end all be all baby, what more could you ask for? What more is there to say?!

    I'll tell ya. The pizza is kinda crappy. The wraps and sandwiches are more bread than anything else. The veggies on said wraps and sandwiches are icky. Anything fried seems like is has been sitting under a heat lamp for a couple days.

    The good? The ziti is a'ight. Delivery is on time.

    Full circle: they deliver fro-yo. And it's cheap. And everyone in your office will be a lot nicer after fro-yo delivery. Trust.

    Avoid their regular crust pizza like the plague.  it's pre-fab crust that tastes like week-old mud.

    A great go-to for delivery or pick-up after a long day or if you're just feeling lazy =D  Tried their salad and it was quite good all around, can't complain about the fluffy pita bread either.  Will order from them again!

    Great combo deals on their menu.  Got two large subs and a huge order of fries delivered for 16 bucks!  They messed up the condiments a bit which is why they only get 4 stars.  Make sure you are clear and repeat tour order if it is at all custom.

    Absolutely going back to this place in the future.

    Shaking off a multi-day drinking binge on my couch, my detox therapy of choice:

    -1 part ashtray full of half smoked joints
    -1 part watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
    -1 part internet pornography
    -1 part pizza

    Find, Pizza Talia online in between looking up 'detox' and 'big boobs' and order a pie. Pie arrives in literally less than 30 minutes. Up your pie hole Dominoes, these guys got the time thing plus taste. Pie is good. Nice, crispy thin crust, plenty of garlic, good hot, better cold.

    Eat pizza pie, rinse, repeat.

    It is becoming a running joke with both my drinking buddies and my work buddies with how freaking often I order from this place.  Literally everything I've ordered off the menu (and no i have no tried the crab rangoons... wtf??) has been delicious.  Their margarita calzone is SO not something I would order (way too boring) except I was putting up with a vegetarian friend's annoying diet, and it was Ah-maz-ing!  Pesto city!  The rest is history.  My fiance never eats his crust (I eat his), and he eats THIS crust (sad for me).  You MUST order delivery from here if you live in the South End.

    Had two taco salads last night (admittedly not the best choice from a restaurant with "pizza" in the title), and they were beyond pathetic. A handful of out-of-the-bag tortilla chips, four jalapeno slices, half a cup of cheese, and at least a cup of black olives (...really?) on top of a bed of iceberg lettuce. To top it all off, the whole pile was soggy, cold, and clammy. (I didn't know salads and cheese could be clammy.) They get two stars instead of one because the meat was cooked relatively well (my boyfriend's steak tips were, my chicken was lackluster at best), even if it was cold. And clammy.

    Again, most certainly an ill-advised choice from a pizza place, but I was in serious, desperate taco salad mode. Don't put it on the menu if you don't know how to make it.

    My boyfriend and I were tooling around on Yelp trying to find a good takeout place on a rainy day, and we stumbled upon one review that mentioned the http://foodler.com website.

    While we were initally going to order from another place, Pizza Talia's "wings & fries" special for $11 swayed us and soon we had requested that combo in addition to a cheese calzone with pesto.  30 minutes after ordering our food was delivered and DAMN was it alot for just under $25!  The wings were crunchy and golden brown and after adding some Frank's Red Hot to them they were to die for.  Fries were fresh and crisp, and the calzone was barely touched because it was such a huge order for two.

    As another reviewer noted the calzones are good for two meals, and when I had the remnants of mine a day later it was quite delish.

    So, hit Pizza Talia instead of Emilio's if you're in the South End, they are inexpensive, fast, delectable and there have been no reports of homophobic workers there, so you can feel good about not supporting pizza slingin' bigots.

    Let's just say I am picky when it comes to my cheese pizza. After moving to the Back Bay and realizing with horror that Bravo Pizza did not deliver in my area, I started mourning that 3 am cheezy pie/sunday hungover cure. Dunno why my roomates and I got so obsessed with their large cheese pizza but our orders might have paid for their summer vacation... Then I decided that the best way to get over this loss was to find my next new favorite cheese pizza. Going down the foodler list of places, we tried out Pizza Talia and they won me over- Huge pie, cheesy, crispy... perfect combination. RIP Bravo, you've finally been replaced!

    Ordered delivery from here via http://campusfood.com. Took them about 50 min to deliver one calzone, but I was told the wait was 45 so they were good on time. I was concerned with paying $12 for a small calzone from a pizza joint, even a specialty one, but when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised. It was HUGEEEE, at least half of a really large 12in pizza? Big. And pretty tasty, with a side of marinara. Next time I have an obscenely large appetite and a craving for a calzone I know where to order from :)

    LOVE this place for delivery.  Try the Chicken Cordon Bleu Pizza...it's got alfredo sauce instead of red sauce.  genius!
