Authentic juicy delicious Chicago-Italian-Beef-Sandwiches and Chicago Deep-Dish and Thin-Crust…read morePizza! If you've ever seen the delicious food shown on The Bear, or even better if you've had the food recommended by Everyone in Chicago, then like me, you have been searching Maryland for authentic Chicago-Italian-Beef-Sandwiches! *** (I'm a little excited here ;-) These are NOT Philly cheese-steaks ... Please, no cheese on these! No fresh-"salad" on the sandwich! No onions! And these are not French-Dip ... These have better seasoning and softer bread. These are made with very-thin-sliced beef (imported from Chicago :-), just thick enough not to fall apart when slowly simmered in delicious seasonings including the tiniest trace of hot spices. The Italian roll is soft to drink up lots of juice, or to soak in juice if you order it "wet", which is a Chicago thing. The bread just has to hold together for as long as you are holding on. This place makes it savory and perfectly, and the manager happily gave us additional juice on the side. I love this sandwich with softly simmered "sweet" green peppers, or you can get with "hot" giardiniera mixed pickled veggies, either one is authentic, and this place uses the Rosati's brand which has a nice kick to it. I got it with a side of fresh hot thick-enough crispy fries, like i used to have at Johnnies west-of-Chicago. It's a filling 6-inch sandwich. This is heavenly! This is the branch of Rosati's that makes it's pizza-sauce fresh on-site, and uses delicious crust and sausage brought in from Chicago. I brought home a frozen deep-dish pizza. Dinner tonight! This storefront is 0.2-miles east of US-15, off 7th Street at Fairview. It's in the middle along the east of the large parking lot. This place is sparkling clean. There are two tables totaling four seats, for dining in the restaurant, which we did. There's a coin-operated candy machine for a handful of skittles or m&m's. The manager is friendly and accommodating. A real nice experience!

Their online ordering system gave me quite a bit of trouble, to the point where I considered going…read moreelsewhere. Switching browsers is what ultimately made it work. I ordered takeout, but I will say that I did not realize in advance that the place would be basically a pure takeout with only a single table (albeit one that was well-attended during my visit). I've been to several of the big players in Chicago. The pizza here smells right, the sauce has the tang you'd expect. The crust didn't quite hold up for me, making for a messy pizza and not the most impressive flavor. Ordering a spinach pizza was a good decision as the spinach was abundant. A salad was robust in size, though they did not have my first choice dressing. A tiramisu made a nice divergence on a later date. They made two mistakes with my order, giving me a garlic bread with cheese that I'd ordered without, and not giving me a side of sweet peppers that I'd ordered. These weren't huge enough to make we want to drive back there to get corrective action on. Overall, I got the deep dish pizza I came for, and if I really had a hankering I could see ending up here again, but there are certainly areas for improvement.

We met a friend here, each driving an hour and 15 minutes each, a midpoint between us. What a find…read more A Saturday afternoon found Pistarro's busy, but not overly so. It's retro with exposed brick walls and large screen televisions. Our server was very sweet, personable and professional. (I'm so sorry, I forgot her name.) We shared appetizers, calamari, fried perfectly along with eggplant Parmesan. Both winners. For entrees, I had the meatball hero, stuffed with well seasoned and sauced balls of deliciousness. My wife had the gyro served in three pieces of pita (on a taco stand). Not only spiced well, but NOT the usual mess with tzatziki sauce and cut chopped tomatoes spilling everywhere. Our friend had the salmon and he was impressed. For dessert it was gelato for two and I had the affogato. Sinful, the whipped cream seemed to have a little more sugar than normal, but it made the dessert that much more decadent. If you live in Frederick or are just passing through...recommended.

Came here on a Saturday night without a reservation. We were sat at the pizza bar in plain view of…read morethe pizza making operations. Oddest part was while we sat there - there was a 2 top table free almost the whole time we were eating. So - we could have easily been waited on in a normal setting. Nice place overall - different areas to sit, outside dining, etc etc. Service however was atrocious. It may be the fact they don't have enough people in the wait staff, but our waitress was as absent as it gets. Asked for a refill, took forever - after ordering appetizer it would have been good to then put in our entree order - but wasn't until the pizza came out 25 min later that we could do that. Asked for bread, she remembered after our entrees came out 45min after ordered - 4 small cubes. You would think when you're struggling at waiting on a table, you'd try and make up for it. Pizza was good. We got a Margherita pizza - standard and fresh as we watched them make it. For my entree I got the penne vodka and added a meatball. Lol. No sauce on that meatball and it was cold. Flavor was good on entree. The next time the waitress came back I begged for the check - to which we paid and got out of there as "quick" as we could. Food 4/5 Service 1/5

We enjoy sitting at the bar, but they have tables and seating both inside and outside. They're wings and steak and cheese were really good. The wings were crispy and full of flavor.

The Garage has a ton of drink options and caters to just about everyone. Everyone working there is very pleasant and efficient. Great spot to check out if your in Frederick.

I've been here a few times now, both for carryout and dining in, and it's been consistently good every time. The pizza is super cheesy, fresh, and just hits every time. Even my friend, who isn't really a pizza person, loved it. The wings are also a standout. We asked for them crispy and they actually got it right -- which a lot of places don't. The bourbon kick wings were really good. The only miss for us was the lemon pepper wings, which were a bit heavy on the seasoning. Every time I've had this pizza, it's been hard to wait -- my first visit, I didn't even make it home before digging in. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, this spot is always a solid choice.

All of their pizzas look really unique. Table next to us got the one with a lot of pepperoni on it and it looked very good too. I reccomend parking at the Church Street Garage to access the restaurant as it's sort of hard to find parking. Interior was quaint and conservative and our waitress was amazing and very sweet.

The restaurant was a bit full and as we decided to give this spot a try sort of last minute, we were more than happy to sit at the bar. We were exhausted from a long day and starving, and because of both those things we skipped cocktails. It was very disappointing to have to do all our ordering through the app, resulting in virtually zero interaction with any staff whatsoever. It left me with just an odd feeling I can't explain, perhaps because we were looking right at staff sitting at the bar and yet no one spoke to us. Anyway, the food was great (my friend had the smash burger and fries) and I will be coming back at least once for the poutine again and to try their pizza. Apparently they are known for their pizzas and they ones I saw did look delicious.
