Create your own pizza is awesome. You can't go wrong. The sauce is flavorful, and not sweet. Any topping is top notch. Their pastais fresh and delicious.I love the mushroom ravioli and the vodka penne. The portions are generous. You can't go wrong. This is my go to Italian restaurant.

The Spaghetti Pomodoro sauce is too thick, they give you too much sauce so it feels more like a stew than pasta, and they overcook the noodles. Was hoping for fresh light sauce, but I've ordered the ponodoro from Melo's twice and both times it was thick, heavy and way too much. The noodles are clearly fresh but they over cooking them... I kind of wonder if all the extra sauce they put in the box is overcooking the noodles while being delivered.

Really disappointed. Have loved this restaurant since it opened. Crust was thin and soggy and fullsize beet salad was laughably small. Seemed more like the half version. Should have at least filled up the container for $20.

I love their Lasagna Meat which is the best lasagna I've had in the Bay Area even including SF. The pasta sheets are perfectly cooked, and it's the perfect ratio of melty cheesiness and tangy tomato sauce and meaty bolognese. This and the their Chopped Salad are my favorites. Chef's kiss.

Fettucine Alfredo with side of salmon. Alfredo was perfect and salmon was not overcooked. First time ordering from this restaurant. I wish Melos Pizza would offer salmon as a side to pasta dishes. We've been ordering from them for over 40 years. I also wish Melos Pleasant Hill would offer salmon with Risotto.
