In a hurry but not wanting to scarf down a Big Mac and fries for the third time this week? Call ahead to Pompei for some gnocchi in marinara sauce or a chopped chicken salad, and it will be ready for pickup when you arrive. If you have more than 10 minutes to spare, come in and dine in Pompei's pleasant, bistro-like setting. You'll order your food at the counter, grab your silverware and select a table. Sit back and wait for your fresh and affordable food to be brought to you, piping hot and always delicious. Pompei specializes in handmade ravioli, hand cut pasta and ''pizzicottos,'' which are much like calzones with the good stuff spilling out. You can get traditional pizza, too -- stuffed or thin -- and there is a whole list of salads to choose from, like the traditional Caprese or the unique Mela Verde with field greens, Granny Smith apples, dried cherries, blue cheese and walnuts smothered in vinaigrette. Take it to an outside table in the summertime. Catering service also available.

  • Horrible delivery service

    Review rating : 1out of 5   jaamun81 - 06/20/2008

    Everytime I order from Pompei, my order is always messed up. The order is repeated 3 times to ensure accuracy and yet upon delivery, which takes about an hour, my entire order is jacked up and I have to wait longer for a replacement delivered. At this time, I lose my appetite and no longer wish to eat the food. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!!

    The soups, salads and pasta are fantastic, always fresh and hot. On real busy days it is well worth the wait.

    I first became familiar with Pompeii almost 20 years ago when I happened to stop in for lunch. I was thrilled when a new one opened near my work at the time in LakeView. I have always loved their chopped chicken salad, minestrone, freshly baked bread, and lemon knots. The variety of pizza ensures that there is a pizza or pizza streudel for every taste. To be honest, I haven't even tried their more traditional Italian dishes, but I have always walked out very happy with my meal and the service. You will leave satisfied every time!
