Orlondo's Pizza

Orlondo's Pizza The Wait is Over Orlondo’s is Back! We’ve missed you since 2019, but the ovens are finally ready to be hot again!

Since 1978, Orlondo’s has been defined by two things: family and flavor.

To Our Incredible Orlondo’s, Grimes and Surrounding Communities:

First and foremost—THANK YOU! ❤️ Since opening our doors a couple of weeks ago, we have been absolutely blown away by the overwhelming response. Seeing a full house with lines out the door every single day has been nothing short of amazing. The City of Grimes and our faithful Orlondo’s family really showed up for us, and we are so grateful.

Because of this massive, non-stop rush, we know we’ve experienced some growing pains. We’ve seen some feedback on Facebook regarding our service speeds, order mistakes and our younger staff.

Here is where we stand on that: We are incredibly proud of every single one of our employees. They have stepped up to face an absolute whirlwind of an opening, and they are working their tails off. Are we still getting everyone up to speed? Yes. Are we working around the clock to elevate our service standards to where they need to be? Absolutely. Will we continue to improve? Most Definitely! We appreciate your patience and grace as our team learns to navigate these massive crowds.

To help us give you the best possible experience right now, we want to share a quick update on how we are handling To-Go Orders:

In-Person Only: Right now, we are only accepting to-go orders placed in person at the bar.

Why? Our dine-in side is completely packed. Trying to juggle phone-in or online orders on top of a full house right now would slow down the kitchen and the service for everyone.

The Good News? 🤫 We are currently working on a brand-new, exciting concept designed specifically to handle your phone, online, and delivery orders. This separate concept will be launching in the very near future so you can get your Orlondo's favorites faster and easier.

Thank you again for the warm welcome back, We love being here, we love our team, and we can’t wait to continue to serve you our amazing food and smiles for years to come!

See you soon,
Robert & Angelina Felice

Wow... You Blew Us Away! (But We Need a Quick Timeout)
To our amazing Orlondos family and the community of Grimes,
We are completely overwhelmed and deeply humbled by the incredible turnout for our grand opening. You all showed up in numbers we could have only dreamed of! In fact, you loved our scratch-made food so much that you officially cleaned us out of product, forcing us to close our doors early.
To ensure we can always serve you with the highest quality food and the seamless experience you deserve, we are taking a few days to restock our kitchen, refine our prep, and restructure our operations to handle this amazing demand.
We will officially Grand Re-Open next Tuesday, June 16th at 11:00 AM!
Thank you so much for your overwhelming support, your patience, and your understanding as we work through these first-week growing pains. We can't wait to welcome you back next week and serve you properly!
With immense gratitude, The Orlondo's Team

To Our Valued Guests and Friends,

Please accept our most sincere apologies. If you are reading this, it means we have had to close our doors early today for a reason that leaves us both incredibly grateful and deeply apologetic: we have completely sold out of everything.

Our commitment to you is to always serve fresh, scratch-made Italian specialties—from our hand-tossed pizzas and artisan pastas to our signature dressings and sandwiches. Because we prepare our food in small batches every single day to ensure the highest quality, we occasionally run into the rare challenge of demand completely outstripping our kitchen's capacity. Today was one of those extraordinary days.

We know how disappointing it is to arrive looking forward to a favorite meal only to find the doors locked. We truly value your patronage, your time, and your support, and we hate to let you down. Our culinary team is already hard at work prepping from scratch to ensure our kitchen is fully restocked and ready to welcome you back.

Thank you for your incredible understanding, your loyalty, and for making our scratch-made kitchen a part of your day. We look forward to serving you properly on your next visit.

With gratitude and respect,

The Management Team

A lot have still asked about gluten free crusts and while we would love to offer a gluten-free crust, our kitchen uses a massive amount of traditional wheat flour every day. Because flour dust airborne-particles stay suspended in the air and settle on every surface—from our dough rollers and pizza stones to our ovens—we cannot guarantee a safe, cross-contamination-free environment. For anyone with celiac disease or a severe gluten allergy, even a tiny speck of shared flour can cause a serious reaction. We value your safety too much to take that risk!
