  stopped in for ice cream and WOW was not disappointed!! The workers were helpful and patient. We ended up ordering a Jr banana split (which was definitely not jr) and a peanut butter milkshake. both were EXCEPTIONALLY delicious and definitely generous servings. cannot recommend the ice cream enough!!

  This is the best food in the area. Giant portions and an impressive menu that also features rotating appetizers and shakes every month. The bootie sandwich (an Italian beef with heaps of melted mozzarella) is always a good bet, substitute in garlic bread for an even better experience. Dont stop there, everything is good! I've worked my way through most of the menu and never been disappointed. Here's where they lose a star... delivery can take up to an hour and a half during a busy weekend. Do yourself a favor and pick up your order, or just eat there. It's a small space with oldschool charm and an ice cream window so kids can "ooooh" and "ahhhh" over the various flavors. To end this thing, I'll list a few of my favorite items from the menu.
  
  Hot Meets Sweet sandwich- Honey turkey, spicy bacon, spicy sweet apricot sauce.
  
  Fried Ravioli- Pepperjack cheese filling!
  
  Chocolate Malt- Nothing unusual just really good.
  
  The Works Potato Wedges- large cuts of potato, covered in cheese, bacon, and onions. Add jalapenos if you like some heat!
  
  Ask about the appetizers of the month, some real creativity on display from the kitchen with these. I've had honey sriracha wings that rival the best wing joints and risotto balls that you would swear came from a fancy restaurant, not this casual local spot.
  
  If you live in the area, or know anyone who lives in the area, you need to try this place. It's a clear step up from similar places nearby.

  I've had Olando's pizza a good many times over the years; it's not great, but it's not bad. Last week, for the first time I went inside for dinner and had something besides pizza.
  
  The interior isn't bad, though it's not very comfortable if you're staying for any length of time. Service was reasonable, though I thought the prices were a bit on the high side for what you get.
  
  The central issue was the food. I got an Italian beef and cheddar sandwich. The sandwich was large, but it was a soggy, disgusting mess, and if that runny, orange industrial fluid saturating the sandwich was cheddar cheese, I'm St. Stephen of Hungary. Just awful and gross. The fries were about what you'd expect, though the onion rings aren't bad.
  
  Maybe the pizza is still acceptable take-out fare, but I won't dine inside or eat any Olando's non-pizza product again. It took me a full day to process that "Italian beef sandwich."

  Only place I can find such quick thick crust! A little heavy on the grease/cheese and little sauce but just order some extra! Very nostalgic, date night especially for a cute first date.

  It's hard to gauge what to rate Olando's. The food is okay. It's not great. And I feel like it's definitely expensive for a pizza place. The famous "Booty" is over hyped in my opinion. I love all the cheese on there but I feel the bread is too thick and the sandwich is always very salty. But I'm also a Beef snob. But I think the biggest issue here is the wait time on food. If you call to pick up a hotdog they will give you a wait time of 30 minutes. I'm not joking. That and some employees are rude. There are good menu items though. The lasagna, house salad, potato wedges, pizza, all good. HOWEVER. The ice cream shop that's attached is wonderful. And we've always had a great experience with the scoopers that work there. Pretty sure we went there at least once a week for 6 months straight for ice cream.
