The dining room at Val's Italian Restaurant

A family restaurant, run like one.

Val's Italian Restaurant & Pizza has been serving Italian lunch and dinner favorites since 2002. Same recipes, same standards, now across three East Texas towns.

Since 2005

Quality is paramount —
so we never shortcut it.

When you are looking for a place to go out to eat that you know the whole family will love, think of Val's Italian Restaurant & Pizza. We opened our doors in 2002 and we have been serving Italian lunch and dinner favorites ever since.

Our food is prepared to match homemade standards. The dough is tossed by hand, the sauces are simmered in-house, and the pasta dishes are baked to order rather than held under a lamp. It takes a few minutes longer — and it tastes like it should.

Behind it all is a fun, family-friendly atmosphere with attentive servers and staff who remember faces. That is the part we are proudest of.

“Where we share our family favorites with your family.”

What Matters To Us

Four things we will not compromise on

Made by hand

Dough tossed to order, sauces simmered in our own kitchen, pastas baked when you order them — not before.

Family friendly

Room for the whole table, a child and senior menu, and staff who are glad to see kids in the dining room.

Consistent, every visit

Three locations cooking from the same recipes and the same standards, so your favorite tastes the same in each one.

Ready when you are

Dine in, call ahead for take-out, or let us cater the party. Every item on the menu can be prepared to go.

In The Kitchen

Three steps, no shortcuts

Step 01

We start from scratch

Dough is mixed and rested in-house. Sauces go on early in the day and simmer until they are right — never opened from a can.

Step 02

We cook to order

Pizzas are tossed and topped when you order them. Pasta dishes go into the oven the same way, so the cheese is still bubbling when it reaches you.

Step 03

We send out garlic rolls

Every pasta, entrée and seafood plate arrives with freshly baked garlic rolls. It is a small thing, and nobody has ever complained about it.
