I've eaten here a few times now. Hands down, the pizza is the best I've had in a long time, maybe ever. There's a lot of pizza's going out the front door for delivery and take out which probably explains why the kitchen can be a bit slow at times if you're dining in. I've also sampled the lasagna and found it to be delicious. The fettuccini alfredo and baked mostaccioli were also very good. All portions on the generous side. The chicken marsala was pretty good but the menu said "chicken breast" and I got some dark meat chicken. I've also sampled a couple sandwiches. I'd skip the Italian. It was a bit on the dry side. I would have liked more lettuce, tomato and dressing. The turkey sandwich is much better. The sandwich felt heavy when I first picked it up because it had so much meat in it. I found it a bit unusual that it was served warm because it had lettuce and tomato but served warm made the bread nice and crusty on the outside and it was still very good. I think I would still have preferred it room temp or slightly cold though. Service has always been good. Everyone I've encountered has been friendly and efficient.

By far the best pizza around the Orangecrest/Woodcrest area! I've been a regular here for a while and have never been disappointed. The staff is always friendly and helpful. If you haven't tried it yet, you definitely should! The dining area has a great ambiance with TVs and music, making it a pleasant place to enjoy your meal. Highly recommend!

We had been looking for a new place for pizza and recently ran into Vianos pizza in Woodcrest. When arriving, the restaurant was pretty full and a bit confusing on whether to sit or go order, either way, the pizza and salad was the amazing!! The pizza came out sizzling hot which I appreciated, and the salad was fresh and tasty. The servers were quick and attentive. They have several television that make it great to watch a game. The people made it fun and we will return to try the pasta and lasagna.

Wanted one of my favorite, cheap pasta places that I used to go to back in college. Back in the day (last year), the prices here were unbeatable, 11$ for pasta and only a couple more to add a protein. A true staple for a broke college student. Upon coming back, I was surprised to see the restaurant empty and after getting settled, I saw one of my worst nightmares... inflation. I don't blame them but ordering a meal that used to be 22$ in total becoming 34$ was slightly disappointing. Thankfully, the taste of this gem didn't change and I was served a hearty portion of chicken parm while my friend ordered a meatball sub. I was very satisfied with the presentation of the meal and I was even hesitant to eat it because of how nice it looked. Nevertheless, I ate the chicken parm passionately as I savored each and every bite. I enjoyed reminiscing the good times in this establishment and I hope to come back soon if I'm ever back in the area.

My family and I just visited Viano's yesterday after our baseball game. For appetizers we ordered the mozzarella sticks (so good) and the bread sticks. The bread was soft, warm and chewy and came with a garlic alfredo sauce and a side of marinara sauce. My hubby and son each ordered a calzone, it was a big portion, they could have easily shared one. My daughter loves spaghetti so she ordered that and said it was yummy. I ordered the Spicy Caruso rigatoni and it was delicious!!!! I had everyone take a bite and they all loved it. I will definitely be back for this plate! All in all, this is a great new little spot for Italian food.
