Levittown might not be the first place you think of for Italian cuisine, but this suburban gem is quietly serving some of the most authentic and satisfying pasta, pizza, and red-sauce classics in Bucks County. From family-run trattorias that have been simmering sauces for decades to modern spots putting creative spins on regional dishes—these are the Italian restaurants worth planning your next meal around.
Pizza & Grill
$ | (215) 945-2101 | WEBSITE
Pizza & Grill should be your go-to Italian spot for a reliably satisfying but not fancy meal. There’s a counter up front, and in the back, a simple dining area with bright fluorescent lights, sturdy plastic chairs, and sports memorabilia on the walls. The menu has various pizzas and grilled items as well as some standout options like the chicken Francese dinner and the cheese steak hoagie.
Bring the family, or stop by with some coworkers the next time you want to grab a hot, dependable dinner in the area. You might encounter a line at the counter, so call ahead for pickup if you can.
Ariana’s Pizzeria & Italian
$ | (215) 949-8785 | WEBSITE
There are technically fancier Italian restaurants in Philadelphia, but in terms of all-around value and flavor, Ariana’s Pizzeria & Italian is hard to beat. This local establishment that’s been serving the community for years now occupies a small strip mall space with simple booths and checkered tablecloths. Bring your appetite here for pizza, chicken pizza steak with fries and onions, and tomato mushroom pie before catching a game or running errands around Levittown.
John Lucas
$ | (215) 945-4440 | WEBSITE
John Lucas is an Italian spot that’s useful when you need to feed a hungry family or a few friends you haven’t seen in a while. We technically prefer the gourmet slices and strombolis at nearby spots, but those places don’t have John Lucas’s welcoming environment with wonderful artwork on the walls, affordable gigantic slices, and wide Friday variety. Slices start around $4 and include things like honey mustard chicken broccoli pizza, the fantastic upside-down tomato pie, and plump Buffalo wings.
Be sure to start your meal with a hoagie or the bacon burger.
Luigi’s Pizzarama
$ | (215) 269-0923 | WEBSITE
The penne a la vodka at this popular lunch spot is served in generous portions rather than small plates, and the pasta comes out perfectly cooked beneath a creamy tomato sauce. We also love the chicken francese, garlic bread, and house salads. When you stop by Luigi’s Pizzarama, the owner German might say something like, “Try the special today,” and the whole team will nod with enthusiasm. It’ll make you feel welcome.
Grab one of the few tables near the TV for the kids, or take your food to enjoy at home.
Giovanni’s Pizza
$ | (215) 945-3354 | WEBSITE
Giovanni’s Pizza is a cozy, welcoming Italian spot, and it’s a solid choice for a casual bite in the neighborhood when someone in your group really craves garlic knots. There’s a counter area up front and a few tables in the back, and the whole place leans hard into the classic pizza joint vibe. Your options range from cheesesteaks and Buffalo chicken slices to Trenton-style tomato pie and their own ice cream, and you should always start with a few of those amazing garlic knots.
Sport’s Pizza Italian Cuisine
$ | (215) 949-8735 | WEBSITE
The menu at this delivery-focused spot is solid, with everything from pizza and cheesesteak hoagies to French fries and Italian classics, but don’t skip the amazing fries. Our favorite is the pizza with that good char on the crust, but they also do them with various toppings. Order a meal, then enjoy it at home since the delivery arrives earlier than expected.
Yordana’s Pizza & Pasta
$ | (215) 943-3031 | WEBSITE
Yordana’s serves dishes like a Cesar salad with fresh, hot chicken, a cheese steak pizza that’s a contender for the best in town, and a chicken parm that’s absolutely phenomenal. Between a pizza and a salad, you can easily walk away having spent only $25 on a satisfying meal. The cozy set-up makes this place perfect for a family dinner or a casual night out in Levittown.
Salvatore’s Cucina
$$ | (215) 547-7000 | WEBSITE
Every neighborhood wishes they had an Italian spot like Salvatore’s Cucina, and for classic, heartfelt Italian fare in Levittown, you really can’t get better than this. The family-run restaurant has been a cornerstone in the area for years, and their menu selection is indicative of this.
Expect the classics, like the best thin and well-cooked pizza in the area, the delicious Italian hoagie with its good balance of oil and vinegar, and the highly praised vodka chicken parm, with none of that fussy, overpriced mumbo jumbo. Look out for the simple decor and the kind owner who makes you feel like you’re in his kitchen—generally, they fulfill their promises of quality food and friendly service that feels like home.
Ponticelli Pizzeria & Restaurant
$ | (215) 946-5780 | WEBSITE
This family-friendly pizzeria and restaurant has been serving Levittown for years. They offer a diverse menu featuring delicious pizza, steaks, and hoagies, but the real star of Ponticelli is their pizza. Grab a slice or whole pie from their counter or order online for delivery—the fresh, high-quality ingredients and consistent service make every visit worthwhile.
Crespo’s Fratellis Pizzeria
$ | (267) 598-7117 | WEBSITE
The Levittown location of this Italian spot serves dishes like chicken parm, lasagna, and our personal favorite, vodka penne pizza. Stop by for a slice with sauce that tastes like it’s simmered for hours, and add a side of garlic knots. If you’re looking for somewhere in the suburbs to bring your whole family for a great dinner that’ll cost around $25 per person, this is the place.
Anthony’s Pizza
$ | (215) 945-2433 | WEBSITE
Levittown’s Anthony’s Pizza is the surprising home of the best Italian food—and one of the most reliable takeout spots—in the area. Anthony’s serves outstanding dishes that keep customers coming back, like their Sicilian pizza, bello Anthony sandwiches with fresh mozzarella, and chicken parm sandwiches. Have a satisfying meal here with the comforting aroma of garlic knots in the air, and enjoy consistently great service while you eat delicious trays that fully deliver at great prices.
Pasta On Time
$ | (215) 949-8600 | WEBSITE
At Pasta On Time, warm lighting, tidy tables, and a not-too-loud classic rock playlist bring a casual, cozy feel to Levittown. The Italian food is pretty much what you’d hope for from a neighborhood spot: vodka rigatoni, shrimp scampi, garlic knots, and mac n cheese bites—all at generous (if occasionally rich) levels of flavor. It’s an easy option for everything from a family dinner to a lowkey weeknight treat, helped along with some super salads or a glass of house red wine.
