Let me start this off by saying this place is next to a funeral home. I went there while attending a viewing for my friend. We had been in and out all day. Around 8 pm a couple of vegan friends ordered a margherita pizza with no cheese. It came out with cheese, so they had said they asked for no cheese. 45 minutes later, basically a piece of uncooked crust with a slice of tomato came out. Then after having a few drinks that's we ordered (asked for whiskey, vodka, etc. no specifications which means well drinks) the bills came with all top shelf liquor prices which NO ONE asked for. When we asked to change the bill they still came back overcharged from what they said well drinks cost. Good job in picking a location for your bar, horrible morals and ethics. I would strongly recommend never going to this place.

Ok, I'm back up to three stars for this place. Why? Because the last couple times we've gotten pizza from Relli's (take out NOT DINE IN) it was been really good. Plus the ranch is awesome. I still don't like dining in. The atmosphere sucks and the beer isn't good. Stick with picking up a pizza and taking it home.

The food is great here. The pasta Alfredo's portion size could feed an army. The reason for two stars is the staff. The waitresses were all wearing skimpy shorts you would expect to see at hooters. And when we sat down, we had to wait over ten mins just to get waited on. Once we got the food, which took a ridiculously long time to get, our waitress rarely came back to our table. Instead, she was chatting it up with the other waitresses at the checkout counter, ignoring us, and her other customers. Will not be going back.

The food is the worst Italian food I have ever had. The only decent things they make is a thin crust pizza and mozzarella sticks. Recently, I ordered a pizza that was on their summer menu and it was advertised as a roasted red pepper and mozzarella pizza. I have been there many times and they know I do not eat meat. Well, I ate pig for the 1st time in over 20 years, which was hidden under the cheese. They were rude about it and I asked for them to have the owner call me. Well, he never called. I was so sick for 2 days and I am heartbroken that I ate pig. I will never return and the only reason I went there was because it is the closest restaurant to my home.

The food is remarkably affordable, and tastes great. Don't order the iced tea though. This place erratically gets crowded, so if you hate crowds, have a secondary destination in mind before heading out.

Yum! ! Pizza is full of items! Plus they have capicola! The hamburger baskets are good too! Nice hand made patties with a nice bakery roll, can't beat that!! Good cold drinks with refills tended to! The wait staff is friendly and attentive. The place packs em in! Just call ahead if you have a large group if you can, they really get stretched!

My friends were served a calzone and a burger, while I waited and waited for my grinder. We asked 3 times if food was coming. Were just told it was coming. No excuse and no explanation. I finally cancelled the order as it still had not come as my friends finished their lunch. I am glad I cancelled because I have since read other reviews about terrible service, long waits for food, bad food, and that its just a dirty restaurant.

What the heck happened to this place? Does it want to be a sports bar (no NFL ticket really?) neighborhood Italian restaurant (food is not good enough)? A family diner (service is terrible)? It fails at all three! Low quality food served slowly by incompetent and uncaring waiters and waitresses. I see other reviews that rave about their pizza???? People, have you never been to Delucas or Sir Pizza for that matter? The owner was present and even he looked bored! Based on the socioeconomic make up of the area residents this place should be awesome. Dewitt deserves better. Rellis is an embarrassment of a restaurant. If I check in here again please punch me in the face.

Great place to eat! Prices are cheap for good Italian Food! The red pasta sauce is so good! Cannelloni is my favorite! The grinders are wonderful too! Good pizza deals on Thursday nights and Sunday nights! New Chicago Deep Dish is great to try also!

Love rellis. The pizza is phenomenal, best pizza outside of new York city. It's a bit pricy but the food is great. Waitstaff is a little immature and slow at times but generally friendly and competent. It's a little to dark inside for my liking but it's also a nice touch, as strange as that sounds.

Waited an hour and 20 minutes for a kids spaghetti and turkey sandwich. It was taking so long and I got it to go and got home to find I paid $26 for 2 kids spaghetti. Come to find out the owner was cooking tonight and doesn't know how to read the tickets. Food is ok but service sucks!!!

Food is fantastic. Ive been there twice, and both times the food was great. The service was good the first time, and very poor the second time. You will likely have to ask for coffee and water refils etc. Dont expect to see much of your server, and expect to wait. Parking lot is across the street, but there is usually space available.

Talk about crazy good value- We visited friends for the night, and we came here with the kids. The place is pretty large, with a decent sized bar and lots of tables for diners. TV's are sprinkled throughout showing various sporting events, and they also have a little arcade-like room to keep the kids of all ages occupied. It was busy on a Saturday night - noisy in a good way. I seriously was shocked when looking at the menu. The prices here are ridiculously low. They have a variety of Italian fare: pizza, pasta, grinders, salads... as well as burgers, sandwiches and more generic dinner options. We were supposed to do a run the next morning, so when she said they were having an all-you-can-eat fettucine alfredo special, that seemed to be just the carb-loaded ticket. How much is all-you-can-eat fettucine? Oh, $5.99... and it includes a salad and a bread basket. See what I'm saying here? You just can't eat this cheap anymore! Even more surprising, the fettucine was actually good. The noodles were well cooked and the sauce was the perfect thickness (I HATE runny alfredo sauce) I couldn't even finish off the first huge bowl they brought me, so the all-you-can-eat aspect was not necessary for me. The grinders were all about $7 - loaded full of toppings and pretty huge - big enough to have to be cut into three pieces instead of just in half. The calzones were similary large- the only complaint I heard on the calzone was that they wished it had been brushed with some butter or oil before popped in the oven b/c it didn't taste un-healthy enough. Served with restaurant ranch though! :) The food came pretty quickly - and service was great. I don't find myself out in this neck of the woods very often, but if you are in the area I would suggest this for a great cheap meal. Maybe on a Sunday for a $6 12-inch 2-topping pizza and $1 kids meals. I just can't get over it folks.

This establishment is DeWitt's equivalent of the gathering place on the 70's/80's TV show Cheers. Anyone who is anybody in D-town can frequently be found here enjoying the comradeship of fellow "Dewittiots". It is unfortunate that the service is usually slow, but very friendly; the pizza orders seldom arrive prepared the way they were ordered; and when there is a mistake on your bill, the owner does not make th appropriate adjustments. Still, being one of 2 local places where you can go out and have a beer or two with friends, it is one of my favorite places in DeWitt. Just wish the owner would appreciate the clientele more!! Customer service is the issue. The people are GREAT. Favorite server is Cathy!!

To begin: I really hate to knock anybody's eatery, but my rejection of Relli's is well deserved. The only reason I "chose" one Star, is because I couldn't pick "zero". My wife and I got a sandwich and lasagna from Relli's, and sadly, it was genuinely dreadful. Sorry, Relli's. the food we got from your restaurant was just plain awful. The lasagna was leathery, thin, dry, had an oddly non-food odor. In general, it was inedible.. Valerie, I don't know how you wound up with a good-sized dinner, but my lasagna was not much over a 3" x 3" slice, and not much thicker than my mouse. It was certainly smaller and thinner than an individual lasagna dinner you might pick up in the frozen food aisle. We got our items To Go, opened them at home, and honestly, I could not eat 2 bites of it. WE had the bagged food in our trunk (we live about 2 miles from this restaurant), and it put a bad smell throught the car. My wife couldn't eat her sandwich & everything ended up in the trash. As for the Lansing (DeWitt) and environs; Relli's terrible quality of so-called "Italian" food is regrettable; as our favorite Italian restaurant closed up shop 3 years ago. Although the Chain Italian places (Carraba's, Bravo) are good, we can't find a good, solid, Mom'n Pop Italian eatery in the Lansing area. Needless to say; we're not going to waste further time or money in attempting to eat at Relli's.
Sorry, Store hours have not been updated. If you are the owner of this restaurants. Please update the store hours.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types.

Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations.

Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
