Carleo Italian Pizza, tucked away at 101 Silo Hill Rd in Emmitsburg, MD, offers an authentic slice of Italy that's quick to garner affection from locals and visitors alike. This quaint and unassuming pizza shop focuses on quality, utilizing a traditional oven—eschewing conveyor belt methods that diminish flavor. According to satisfied patrons like Vinny DeFrancesco, the pizza here is exceptional, with compact booths and limited outdoor seating making it primarily a popular takeout destination. Diners rave about the home-cooked meals, with reviews praising the warmth and attentiveness of the family-run staff, often led by a grandmother figure, which adds a personal touch. Ricky M emphasizes the love infused in each dish, particularly highlighting the delicious pasta options like Chicken Alfredo and Cheese Ravioli. The generous portions and reasonable prices make Carleo a standout choice, as touted by Janus Lindholm, who suggests trying the chicken Philly cheesesteak for a nostalgic bite. With a focus on customer service, every visit promises a friendly greeting and a memorable meal. Whether you're grabbing a quick calzone or savoring a comforting baked ziti, Carleo Italian Pizza is a quintessential stop for anyone craving authentic Italian fare in a down-to-earth setting.

It's a very small, legit, pizza shop. Excellent pizza. They run a proper pizza oven; no conveyer belt nonsense. not a lot of room. 4 booths at most. A couple of outside seats. Clearly a popular takeout spot. The inside is not dirty, but it ...

Older Grandma seems too run the show, her I'm assuming sons / grandchildren help cook the food. Amazing quick home cooked meals, made with love highly suggest going out of your way to support a business like this.

We had two sandwiches. They were great. Great meal after a long day of traveling. People who work there are great. Don't miss this one.

Real deal, authentic, no frills, classic Pennsylvania style deli Kind and attentive service, huge portions at an incredible price point, and absolutely killer subs - especially the chicken philly cheesesteak. Very nostalgic. The perfect lunch & dinner stop after hitting the slopes!

This is one of the nicest family restaurants I’ve been to in awhile. It is small, only a few tables, but they have a booming pizza and takeout business. We ate in. Their homemade meatlover’s lasagna was awesome. Tasty sauce. Plenty of melted cheese. Lots of meat! Baked perfectly and still bubbling when it was brought to the table. And the meal included a salad! The portion was wonderfully large. Think of a full sized pie tin on a large dinner plate. Talk about value! I had half for dinner and half for today’s lunch. Also, the little loaf of Italian bread was superb. The staff is very friendly and multitasking continually, but not so busy that they won’t check on you regarding how the food is or if you need your drink topped off. In any case, if you’re in Emmitsburg, this is a definite stop. If I’m back this way I will be definitely be stopping back. Now time to catch my flight. God bless!

Stopped in for lunch on a weekday. Has only a few tables inside, mostly does carryout. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The pizza was amazing - some of the best pizza I have ever had. I wished we lived closer so we could stop in for the pizza more often. Definitely plan to stop in again when we are in the area.
