“ Update: this is out 5th visit and the recently changed some menu items. I had Gnocchi with Squash and Broccoli. So good!! Staff was awesome helped us navigate the menu. Fantastic dinner and a lunch at POPS in Canton. At lunch, I was able to try their awesome sausage and pepper sandwich. Plus some pasta salad. Also, this building is gorgeous. They have done a good job. Shout out to Andy for greeting us and making sure we were taken care of and satisfied. We went back for dinner and had some amazing pasta. Their homemade Italian Sausage is great. The pasta chips were different for but tasty! ”
“ Love this place!! Great food made by great people! My advice is to get anything w sausage in it. I got this lemon basil shrimp salad and it was to die for!! They have recently added some new sandwiches too! ”
“ My mum and I stopped by Sunday just outside for a drive . When we walked in, we were greeted by the manager, who was absolutely lovely. He seems to really enjoy what he does and he appeared to treat the staff so well. Everyone working there had such a positive upbeat vibe. The ambience was amazing and really enjoyed how they have jazz music playing, but not too loud . I ordered the chicken caprese salad. Big thumbs up to the chef! I also recommend trying the iced coffee . We will be back!!! ”
“ Wowza!! I’m not quite sure how we stumbled across this gem, but boy we are happy we did! This is more of a NY Italian style cuisine but this place brought back memories of our trip to Italy.... The food and service is exceptional! The pasta we had was al dente. The dessert was simple yet perfect...Bada Bing!!!!!!! ”
“ I run a private chef business and wanted to feature fresh made pasta on one of my client’s menu. Like it always happens in life, my life got too busy to make the fresh pasta myself so I reached out to P.O.P.S to see if they could accommodate what I needed. Andy was very prompt in returning email correspondence, answered any questions I had, and was agreeable on price. The pasta (paccheri) itself was great, had a nice bite to it, and was packaged very appropriately and efficiently. I will be using them again in the future for their fresh pasta. ”
“ Visited POPS today for a quick lunch, and had the POPS CHOPPED salad. Delicious! Ordering was quick and easy, and my food was delivered to my table with a smile in just a few minutes (even though they were busy during the lunch rush). Service and food are always consistent...consistently good! Always clean then the music, lighting and great atmosphere complete the experience. ”
“ The food got to the table faster than I could order from McDonald's. The vodka sauce was divine. The eggplant was a little different but still good. Lots of flavor. My wife had the St Joseph's sandwich. She said the chicken was overcooked, rubbery and hard. I appreciate the creativity of this restaurant. The price point was a little high but I know the area they're in is probably expensive. I would go back and try some of the other menu items. ”
“ Went here today for the first time. It's a counter serve restaurant where you order at the counter and they bring the food to you which I actually really like. Seems like a family owned business and that they actually care about the quality of food and overall service which was much appreciated. The chicken parmesan pasta was excellent and I noticed that many people around me ordered it, so it must be very popular. My wife got the kale salad and said it was really good also. My only suggestion would be to include some kind of bread either with the pasta entree or at the table with some olive oil or something to dip it in. Adding this, would take it up a notch. ”
