Had one large pizza to share among 5 people, Half Hawaiian, Half some sort of meat combo lol Had one slice leftover to go, since no one ever wants to eat the last slice 🙂

    Sorry if were a bit impatient since we were on a bit of a time crunch. We will definitely be back when we have more time so we don't have to rush in/out.

    Thanks again Rainbow Pizza!! Double thumbs up!     read less

    Got into town and had dinner with my in laws. They ordered everything we had and it came out pretty efficiently. The food was very hot and very delicious. We barely had any left overs and even my kids loved it. I'm not sure what we ordered since my inlaws ordered everything but again everything was delicious..my oldest daughter even tried calimari for the first time and loved it. Definitely a fan of this place and would be back for more.

Huge, delicious portions, perpetually fresh ingredients, and out of this world flavor will have you coming back for more. Support your local mom&pop!

    I love the Spaghetti Shrimp Scampi, but I can guarantee that basically everything on the menu will taste amazing. The menu, by the way, is so vast it will make your head spin. However it is easy enough to quickly choose something that sounds good (and I take FOREVER to decide, this is known).

    I can always find parking in the bustling Crystal Springs complex so no complaints here. People driving by just need to learn to SLOW THE EFF DOWN.     read less

  • 5 star ratingMy boyfriend took me here to try it out since he raves about their pizza and food!... read more It was my first time here and I was amazed how huge their menu was! It's a big 12 page menu with like every food you can imagine from salads, pizza, pasta, soups, sandwiches, burgers, dinner plates, Greek cuisine, and vegetarian dishes! I could sit there all day looking at their huge menu and what they had to offer!

    We ordered the all the meat you can handle pizza that came with 7 different types of meat on it! From bacon to pepperoni to salami to saugage! The pizza was so filling and really cheesy with mozzarella cheese on it! Once you take a bite of a slice of pizza the cheese is like never ending and just keeps on going and going! It's that cheesy and so good!

    We also ordered the shrimp scampi and it was really creamy! All their pasta comes with garlic bread but we substituted it with their cheesy bread that was extra cheesy as well since they use mozzarella on it!     read less
