    Farmhouse Pizza
    Pam Pam G.

    Honestly surprisingly great for hospital food! The service can be a little sketchy sometimes, but the pizza is great and convenient if you work in/near the hospital. I would highly recommend asking to get your pizza well done if you like crispy crust; I I didn't the first time and I felt that the toppings could have been cooked more. Definitely beats dining at the Presby cafeteria!

    Roasted veggie grinder

    I couldn't find a phone number to order food so I searched online. I ordered online for lunch pickup. I didn't have to create an account but I did have to prepay. My sandwich was so whimpy and really not worth the 8.34 I paid but it fed me. It was mostly bread. Now I know. It really needs some roasted squash or a portabella mushroom. Instead it has a few green peppers, mushrooms, a nice handful of spinach, roasted tomatoes and very pungent raw onion. It's nice to have vegan options available but I'd rather skip lunch than spend over $8 on a poorly executed, sad sandwich again.

    Buffalo chicken pizza and southwest salad
    Benjamin S.

    Delicious buffalo chicken pizza! I've loved their pizza always but this is one that isn't even on the menu. I found out about this one simply by chance! My wife had the salad and it was really good as well! Nice restaurant, great service, awesome food!

    Farmhouse Pizza

    Honestly for being tucked away in a hospital, the food is pretty good! Definitely a step up from Montefiore or Presby cafeteria and infinitely better than the cafeteria pizza. I usually tend to get their brick oven pizzas! I have had the buffalo chicken, chicken spinach pesto, and the farmhouse. All have been satisfying. The farmhouse is probably my favorite with a nice combination of red sauce, feta, peppers, and sausage. Their crust is not too thick and holds the pizza well. Pizzas run about $10 and are pretty filling. Can make two meals if not super hungry. They also have salads and sandwiches. I have also excellent things about their dessert. They sell slices of cheesecake, chocolate cake, and berry cake. Overall, a great place to grab some pizza if you are in the Presby/Monte area.

    Cheese pizza on the gluten free cauliflower crust
    Peter N.

    Can't find anything to complain about at this little eatery. I got a cheese pizza on the cauliflower crust after I finished a morning volunteer shift. Great taste, great value, and fast! Coming on a Saturday is probably a big contributor to the speed, but i will definitely be coming back to try some of their other pizzas and salads. I'm happy to see the wide range of gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options available.

    Clean, little eatery in Montefiore hospital conveniently located for everyone to stop by for some delicious food! We went during an off-hour, around 230PM, and was able to quickly place our orders. Things I liked: - cheap - convenient - delicious desserts! We ordered slices of cheesecake and berry-custard cake (reminded me of a tiramisu with fruit). Overall, I will be returning for an actual nutritious meal!

    I started working at the Montefiore Hospital more than a month ago and have came down here a few times. I have a 45 minute lunch break and I find it is enough time for them to cook the meal and for me to finish eating before heading back to work. Thankfully this place is open on weekends because the cafeteria is closed! * Food: I have tried their Build Your Own Pizza and although they don't have too much variety, I find it enough for whenever I have cravings. I tried their Vegan Mozzarella and honestly I could not tell the difference. They also have a gluten-free crust option! I have also tried 2 of their sandwiches but I cannot find an updated version of their menu to write down the names. But overall it was pretty good. The portion looks small but I was decently full after eating it. * Price vs. Worth: The price range is from $7-$10 and although the portions look small, I was pretty full. Will I come here again? - Yes or otherwise, I would starve at work.

    "Asianslaw" as they call it

    As far as their food goes, sandwiches are slightly overpriced but the pizza is good price and portion. But... It's seasonal RACISM time at the Brick-side Eatery! Here comes the "Asianslaw" which is basically coleslaw but uses an oily sauce instead. While this season they are only offering the Asianslaw, coming up are the Euroslaw and the Africaslaw!!! Ok, that latter part might have been a joke, but I kid you not when it comes to the name of their side. It is literally called the Asianslaw, as one of the two sides you can get for ordering a sandwich. They recently came out with this side and it's not that good, and the name is inappropriate. One of the times I visited this place I was about to pick up my food and leave and one of the staffers there said to me "Ni hao" which is Chinese but me being Korean I was a bit annoyed but another staff there reprimanded him on-scene. I continued to go here as I was happy with how that turned out but this crosses the line.

    burnt hard bun and not even the bread that comes with this sandwich
    C R.

    I don't know what's worse, the attitude of the staff or the food. My sandwich was made completely incorrectly and with no care at all.

    I was really glad to find this place inside the hospital, as there aren't many options up here unless you walk all the way down the hill to 5th or go to Starbucks or the cafeteria. Service was a little slower than I expected but the pizza was delicious. They had a range of items including, pizza, sandwiches and salads. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. They bake the pizzas to order in a brick oven.

Most bowls are rice, greens, and/or beans based with various vegetables for toppings. Heartier than a salad but healthier than Chipotle. I've gotten lunch there a few times and have always been satisfied. My favorite bowl is El Jefe, which comes with rice, kale, black beans, corn, red onion, avocado, and a protein topping (I like the miso tofu but you can also get chicken). The bowl also comes with cilantro/lime sauce, which I do not get because it's very salty. That's my one complaint about Roots - despite their healthy ingredients, their bowls can get quite saucy and salty if you go with the default options. This particular location is well-staffed, so service is usually quick, but it can get a rush of students around 12pm.

The bowl was good but I was a little disappointed in the portion. Roots is a little bit more expensive than other similar options but I usually don't mind as they often give me a very full bowl, but that wasn't the case with the Gary bowl. It was less full than the bowls I usually get along with being very heavy on the rice and not too much chicken or even the kale. Aside from that it was still yummy but I think I'll be going back to my regular order next time.

That means I haven't actually eaten inside Roots itself; maybe one day I won't be picking up my meal on the go? But until then, I can't comment on what a sit-down experience here is like. If the name didn't give it away, this is an eatery focused on "natural foods", AKA whole foods. So if you want a salad or a bowl, this is a good place to get one. They have a limited number of "set" menu items, and they let you make custom creations, too. This is where I reveal how lame I am, because I found my favorite order back in 2023 and I've never changed it up! If you see me here I'm probably ordering a Mayweather salad, which includes kale, bulgur, sweet potatoes, beets, red onions, goat cheese, and chicken. One day I might shake things up and try their cobb salad...but until then, I'll let the Mayweather continue to delight my tastebuds. Disclaimer that Roots is not the cheapest eatery on the block, but for me, it's my weekly treat. I could never make a salad as tasty as theirs, and a good (i.e. healthy and yummy) meal makes my in-office day a little better! I can't wait to pick up my regular order again later this week (although I might steal another reviewer's idea and get the BBQ tofu instead of chicken...it sounds good AND it would make me a slightly less boring regular!).

I got a warm bowl with brown rice, spinach, cucumber, apple, edamame, citrus chicken thigh, and organic tofu. The portion was solid and filling, especially with the two protein add-ons at extra cost. I also tried the avocado creme sauce, but it was a little spicier than I expected, so I was glad it came on the side. Without it, the bowl tasted a bit plain. I'd still come back and try a different sauce or mix-in combo because it feels like a solid healthy option. Also worth noting: adding a smoothie to a bowl order drops the price to $6 instead of $8, but you have to add it through the bowl order rather than as a separate item. The Tropicolada smoothie was really refreshing and I'd definitely order it again.

You can create your own bowl or salad or wrap or choose one from the menu. They also have smoothies. I built a bowl/salad with spinach and red quinoa, and added mushrooms, broccoli and cucumbers. You get 3 toppings and you pay more for extra. Every protein is an additional cost. I got the chicken (around $3 additional). And then you get 1 included dressing, I got the agave mustard. I was pleasantly surprised by the bowl and thought it was tasty! I will say I wish you could get more included with your bowl, places like sweetgreen or cava or even chipotle lets you get however many toppings you want, and it feels more limited here (unless you want to pay extra). It would be nice if they allowed you to have 2 dressings too, 1 seemed kinda stingy. Good for a healthy quick casual meal in Pittsburgh!

So, actually a guy at the information booth was eating something from here and I asked him where he got it from because it looked very good and he recommended them to me. So we headed their way. Tbh: Every place that we wanted to eat at had a line 25-50 deep and we were super hungry and their line was only like 5-7 people deep which was a blessing. First off, the service in general was kind of crappy, but I understand as it was a hot and very busy day and from what they told my gf at the time they were getting low on food as well and only had a couple items that were left from the menu. After deciding what we wanted which was one of three things my gf at the time ordered us the Mac and Cheese and a container of ranch to take home while I looked for a place for us to eat. So after they handed her our food we headed over to an area with tables and chairs to eat the Mac and Cheese. I must say we both thoroughly enjoyed every single bit of it and my gf at the time isn't even vegan. So that says a lot! I highly recommended it :) FYI: The person who took her order also forgot to give her the container of ranch she paid for. I wasn't made aware that she purchased it until afterwards because my gf at the time wanted to surprise me but they didn't give her a receipt so she had no proof. Oh well, you live and learn, sadly! The vibe on this day was on point so we let the little things go in regards to the crappy service and the shorting us of an overpriced container of ranch fall to the wayside and continued on with our wonderful day, smiling and enjoying the amazing festival and area. If I decide to stop by your food trailer again this year at the festival or whenever I am somewhere you are posted up in front of, I hope you make up for your mistakes from last year because that's the right thing to do.
