I've been eating here for about 40 years. The food is excellent. Tastes homemade every time. Staff is nice and service is always prompt.

I’ve driven by dozens of times- foolishly. Finally picked up take out and it is exactly the homestyle Italian I wanted. The bread has just the right amount of sesame and chewiness. The spinach lasagna is full of flavor.

Once again I made the 90 minute drive just for a small Pietro's 'special' hoagie! Pietro's is the absolute best since I was a kid in the 80's. Several members of my family will very often take this long getaway drive because nobody does it better.

Got a couple of sandwiches and some fettuccine Alfredo. The Alfredo and the sandwiches were pretty good. Food was prepared in an easy to eat manner. Bite sized pieces of chicken and sausages

This is an excellent place. All the ingredients are freshly cut and made to order. I peeked into the kitchen and noticed the chef hand slicing all the vegetables for the pizzas they were baking.
And what a pizza it is. The large 16" pizza is a must order. Generous toppings all over. It has a thin crust but is soft and tasty where cheese and toppings are placed. I usually order the Pietro Special.
But it doesn't stop there. No pizza is complete without the buffalo wings. I don't know the size of the chicken but judging from the buffalo wings it must be a giant. Also it is just the right level of spice and not greasy! How does Pietro do that!
Now without a salad, I would feel guilty eating the pizza and wings so I also order the large Caesar salad. Fresh cut salad. Wonderful to crunch into with the wings and pizza!
Now that is a meal for a Friday night. Epic!

I just had a really satisfying hot pastrami sandwich aka Pastrami Alla Pietros on my first visit to Pietro's Italian Restaurant. The sandwich is made on a really excellent quality sesame seed hoagie roll with mustard, pickles and melted cheese on tender juicy pastrami. The large sandwich is nearly a foot long. I had intended to eat half and save the rest for later but it was so tasty that I ended up eating the whole thing.
I'm on a mission to try all the pastrami sandwiches in town and so far this one gets a good ranking. This sandwich wins for best bread. It's bigger than the one from Tops (on Walnut and Allen) for just about the same price. Tops does get the edge for the smokiness and spice of the pastrami.
At Pietro's they serve all kinds of sandwiches, pizza, pasta and salad.
I will be going back to try more menu items. I'll update this review at that point.
In the meantime, if you are in the neighborhood and craving a hot pastrami sandwich I recommend that you give this one a try.

I've been coming here for over 30 years and this little neighborhood gem consistently puts out tasty and quality Italian food! Their pizza, pasta and numerous hot and cold subs are especially good, particularly their Italian Hoagie, and hot meatballs and cheese!
They've also got a large selection of sodas and beer.
It's changed hands several times over the years, but the current owner, George, is personable, friendly, and makes sure the customers are happy! He's got a great crew, too, starting with Ava!
Highly recommended!

Pietro's is an Italian Restaurant that serves pizza, salad, pasta, and sandwiches.
::Food::
My 4 stars review is specifically for their famous Hoagie cold sandwich! It has salami, mortadella, salami cotto, lettuce, mayonnaise, tomato, pepperoncini, and provolone cheese. I recently tried the hot Pastrami Alla Pietros which is served in a loaf of toasted bread with pastrami, mustard, and pickles. The bread and all the ingredients are always fresh. I'm not a "sandwich girl" so I'm surprised that I like it so much!! Based on the quality, portion, and price; I'm a fan!
::Customer Service::
Friendly staff

I tried the Hoagie Cold Sub which has salami, mortadella and Cotto salami. It was pretty good. There is some confusion about my order. I asked for Pietros Hoagie which I thought was a hot sub with mozzarella cheese. Not sure if I ordered wrong or they gave me the wrong thing. In any case, my food was pretty good.
