So this place is a long-term local favorite... You could totally tell. And not quite sure if people have become loyal because of location or because of the specials such as prime rib and really great hearty meals... But I can tell you your breakfast was very traditional. Nothing super exotic or trendy. I'm a Southern girl so I was looking forward to getting country fried steak, gravy and eggs... They're country fried steak is a special that's named after the owner or one of its friends or something... And all it is is steak and gravy... Kind of interesting for a breakfast dish. No eggs. And was one of the most expensive meals so adding eggs would have really put it over the top for breakfast. So I elected to go with a variation of hash browns that I'm accustomed to getting the south from waffle House... Scattered, diced which means tomatoes, and covered which means slice of cheese. Although they restrict the ability to buy beer and wine in grocery stores in Pennsylvania, there is no restriction on when you can get a alcoholic beverage like there is in the south... Bloody Mary with breakfast at 9:00 a.m.. there was a long line to wait for a table so my friend who's the local went to the other entrance for the package store and saw there was ample room at the bar so that's where we went. We split an omelette and got some bacon on the side. The bacon was clearly oven baked and extremely crispy and is barely flavorful. The waitress was nice and attentive at the bar. And she had the southern charm of calling us honey and sweetie even though she was younger than us. My friend says she used to come by there often when her kids were younger or for their weekly specials. It's a large restaurant so plenty of tables in the traditional space. And I guess because of not having extra weight stuff they didn't encourage sitting in the bar... We sat at the bar so had the direct attention of the bartender. You can see from the menu there's lots of options for food which is probably why it's such a popular place. read more

Local Monroeville flavor. Big portions... and just that hometown dive that every town needs!! Being Gateway alumni, there is something nostalgic about Gateway Grill. Circling the small parking lot looking for your spot, reminiscing on the alumni sports team photos on the walls, and doing the twist in the entryway to navigate your way to your takeout, Gateway Grill is not much... but the food is usually fire!!! The pizza slices have big bubbling crusts with pepperoni so rustic cut that you will wonder if they accidentally gave you the whole piece... over and over again. Don't sleep on their meatball pizza. Because you will have basically full size meatballs for every slice... and they are delightful. We had family in and bought a large order - and we opted to try their sandwiches. The Chuck Roast sandwich and Turkey Rachel both sounded delicious... and Gateway Grill does have fresh smoked meats too! Takeout is a trip. In a full restaurant, you have to kinda stand in the way at the front counter and flag down someone to grab your order. But they definitely do a lot of to-go pizzas so you'll be able to handle it. Unfortunately, with their current to-go containers, the sandwiches ended up being sopping wet with condensation... the bottom toasted bread on both was basically dripping instead of crunchy. The fries had lost all texture too- air fryer to the rescue. I'd still recommend going - just stick to only pizza when ordering takeout until they find a way to ensure quality of other options. read more

Very good pizza. For a large pepperoni and sausage! Crust was excellent. It was a "heavy" slice, so you couldn't eat more than a few slices. The service was really great. Turtle cheesecake is a good choice if you don't want cheesecake but you want a dessert with chocolate, pecans, and caramel! read more

Great local small business located in the heart of Monroeville on Northern Pike Road. Parking is somewhat limited and can be frustrating that can be tight fitting at times. Nice sports bar themed restaurant with a wide variety of dishes including pizza, steak, hoagies wings, and great tasting apps and more! Little pricy but worth the price! Huge beer selection that's also available for takeout in the six pack shop. Stephanie is great! We request her whenever e visit. Very friendly and attentive. We never have an empty glass or need anything while dining. Great spot to go when watching sporting events. Breakfast served daily. Love it! Great restaurant, we visit often and are never disappointed! Highly recommended! read more

Great breakfast food! We stopped in on a weekday during lunchtime and it was pretty busy. They serve breakfast until 2pm every day. My husband and I split the cinnamon roll which was okay, nothing special. I got the breakfast burrito which was 1. delicious and 2. huge! The potatoes were to die for. I definitely want to go back for lunch because their menu has a little bit of everything! read more

Restaurant in strip mall with lots of parking. Went for breakfast and was very busy. Waited for a table for 5 about 15 minutes. Breakfast menu is good. They also have lunch/dinner. We ordered waffles w/sausage, breakfast sandwich, and steak and egg. All were tasty. Their biscuits are homemade!!! Get them. This is your typical diner and that's the vibe inside. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive. She was very much on top of things. Great experience! Didn't wait long for our food at all. The only tiny thing was that the coffee is not very good. read more

A good experience. Place was very busy but well staffed, and the manager (maybe owner?) seemed to working very hard including cleaning tables, getting people seated, answering questions from staff and patrons. He was very involved, controlling the floor and getting things done. The Restaurant was clean and well staffed. I came from Houston Texas on a trip staying here in Monroe. Knowing what good bbq and ribs tastes like I decided to try the baby backs ribs. Yea, a little taste of Texas. Fall off the bone, hot and well made. The bbq sauce was a sweet version which I love, but just seemed to be missing some kinda kick. For those who love the tangy, smoky more hot sauce may not find less appealing but I give it a 9 out of 10. My dad also tried one of the sandwiches and was very good. The pizzas did look very tasty but perhaps another time. I would certainly come back maybe try the pizza. Definitely recommend this place. Congrats on the staff and restaurant for my 5 star review. Well done. -Joseph. (Houston local guide) read more

She was quick to take our order but it did time some time for the food to come out, but when it did it was hot a delicious! Their pizza is meant to be eaten fresh and right away! I enjoyed a nice soft drink and got the Reese pie and a cheese cake to go. We will definitely be back! read more

Local diner vibes - community sports photos on the walls, which gives a nostalgic experience for locals. The service is always always always great, and the food is consistently on point!

Stopped in for dinner as we were doing an overnight on our way east. My wife had the Turkey Club and I had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. My wife thought the Turkey Club was just OK, My Buffalo Chicken Wrap was falling apart. I really couldn't pick it up to eat so I opened it up and ate it that way with a fork. Mine came with a mountain of fries...way too many. Although generous it was way more than the wrap in size. Definitely a local family favorite judging by the cliental. For us, it was just OK. read more

Well after 4 visits in about 8 days I had my first disappointment. The Italian hoagie. First of all, NO CHEESE! None. And the hoagie was very bland I mean totally bland! The dressing was flat. No zing. No oregano (a really nono for me) if it wasn't for the extra onions Idk if I would have even eaten it. The salami was even tasteless! Thats all I have to say about it. Disappointing ! read more

I have been ordering Pizza from Gateway for years. I have been all over the country and Gateway Pizza was one of the best I ever had in my 70 years on this planet. The crust is perfect, the cheese is nice and the sauce is tasty. Gateway changed the ingredients and ruined the pizzas they now make. The crust is flat and hard. The cheese does not have the flavor it once had. The sauce is still pretty good. Please Gateway do not cheapen your ingredients and return your pizza to its once awesome taste! read more

Usually like Gateway. But this time, not so much. The "inside out burger" was awful -- overcooked, dry, tasteless. Served with a leaf of wilted lettuce and a thin slice of dead-of-winter tasteless pink tomato. Yukk. read more

The server and the waitress were both so very nice. We decided to split a burger. We ordered the western burger. It was delicious, perfectly prepared and seasoned. Hubby ordered a cup of chili and I ordered a cup of New England clam chowder. Both were very tasty. We will definitely come back here again when we are in Monroeville. read more

We love the Gateway Grill. While often crowded, we have never had to wait more than a few minutes. They have a pretty solid menu. We especially like their Chili, Homemade Ice Cream and the Brisket Sandwich with horseradish dressing. Also, the fries are really good. read more

This place never disappoints. Imagine a neighborhood diner with a full bar and a six pack shop. Breakfast is outstanding. Wings are great. Really good craft beer selection. Food comes fast, service is top notch. Even on a busy Christmas Eve morning when it looked like there was only 1 server covering the entire restaurant she kept everything going. Outstanding place, will always come back when visiting. read more

I use to go here years ago but stopped. Moved out of Pgh 15 yrs ago and moved back. Was surprised this spot was still there. Gave it a try. Ordered Fish Sandwich and fries. It was Terrible and wayyyyy too expensive. Now I know why I stopped going back then. The fries were even terrible! If you want a good fish sandwich just drive down the street to Rose Cliff Tavern! Waisted my money here. SMH can't believe they are still open. read more

We originally came for breakfast/ brunch, but unfortunately, the menu changed over 2 minutes before we sat down, so we had to get lunch. I wish they had the breakfast hours posted on the website or menu because then we could have made an informed decision before making the drive. Now, that does not take away from the food we ordered. First, the raspberry mule was delicious. Honestly, it was one of the best mules I have had in a while. I found out the secret was in the ginger beer. It is raspberry flavored! We ordered a "small" pizza, but this thing was enormous. It had 8 big slices and it was really good. The cheese pull on it was great, and the crust was crip and soft. I do wish they added a little more meat on it, but overall, I can't complain. Our server was friendly and attentive, and I was glad we gave them a try. We will for sure try again for breakfast. read more

I have never been disappointed with a meal. From pizza, wings, ribs and the breakfast is a hit as well. The Salmon is grilled, flaky and delicious. On Friday and Saturday they have a Prime Rib, yummy. During Lent they have a special menu where this is something for everyone. Give them a try. read more

Amazing breakfast & lunch. I try to stop here whenever I'm in the area. And the service is always friendly. Highly recommend.

This is an edited review as things have went down hill with this restaurant and not sure if it's the management or a combination of everything. The good yesterday was TERRIBLE with my ribs looking like they were made for an animal and the wings were just wings which were not flavorful. Tell me how you can't baked potato skins with no bacon, everyone don't eat freaking pork you idiots or let alone red meat. They would not make me more without bacon saying they can't do that which makes no sense. This place is overrated and I know there are some good reviews, but I had no choice but to leave a bad one because it was BAD. I know I am one person, but I will never ever eat at this place again and I am putting the word out. read more

The dough was salty and it tasted like the cheese was a cheap cheddar. Its been a while since I had their pizza and it was not the same as I remembered. read more

Gateway Grill is a staple in the Monroeville area. The food is always really solid. The service is generally really good as well. There are plenty of flat screens to view a game. The seating is plentiful with a casual feel. My wife feels like they have the best buffalo chicken salad in the area. She also really likes their Hoagies. I have had good fish sandwiches, pizza, and wraps. read more

Gateway is very popular and for good reason: the food is good, portions are large, service is friendly. My family has been coming here for years and I'm finally taking time to write a review. The restaurant seems to have the perfect amount of seating because it's often nearly full but we've never seen anyone waiting (probably happens, we've just never seen it). There's a bar for drinks if you choose. Food generally comes quickly. This evening Connor waited on us. As with the other servers, he was friendly, knowledgable about the menu and drinks, and checked on us frequently but not too often. We split a one-pound fish sandwich and a large calzone. We both have leftovers for later. The fish sandwich was excellent and usually what I get. The calzone was ready, I don't know how, like in ten minutes. And it was delicious. So, why only four stars? It's a great gathering place but it's often so loud that everyone has to scream louder to hear one another or you just give up talking and enjoy your food. Not sure the noise is the fault of Gateway ... it just is what it is ... but it can get very loud. Still, it shall remain a favorite meeting spot and a dependable place for a large and tasty fried fish or their excellent pizza. read more

Gateway Grill - Half of a one-pound fish we're sharing - Pizza Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

Food is always great and the pizza is the best. Our server was nice and attentive. We come here often.

This seems to be a super popular spot in Monroeville. Lots of people have said great things about their calzones, and I thought I had to try it. I ordered a large calzone and their strawberry ice cream for takeout. When I talked to the lady over the phone, she said the calzones typically came with toppings, but I just wanted it plain with cheese. Once I got to the store (at 3 pm or so, when most places aren't too busy) there was a pretty significant wait at the takeout area. The guy handed me the box with my calzone and asked if it was mine. It looked like it was, so I said yes, but... It was one of the flattest calzones I've seen in a while! There is very little inside. I understand you usually have toppings, but couldn't they just have added additional cheese? It's the same price either way. And, there is virtually no way this was a large. Don't get me wrong, it filled me up, but I wasn't stuffed. And this thing was around $17! That's crazy, even if it was big. The calzone has a unique charred flavor, which was interesting but not my favorite. It is quite bready and contains very little cheese when compared to other cheaper places. They do serve a good amount of sauce with the calzone, but it's a bit watery. I'm still shocked people call this "huge" or "the size of a small child." This was a mediocre portion at best, and it was soggy too! I asked if the peanut butter pie was made in house. It wasn't. So, I decided to try the homemade ice cream. It is nice they make it in house, but the flavor just wasn't that good. I had strawberry, and once again, the price is a bit much for the portion ($4 for one scoop). It had a weird sour cream flavor to it as well. All in all, I definitely had high expectations for this place and was thoroughly let down. The portions are way smaller for takeout, calzones taste charred, ice cream isn't very good, and the prices are quite inflated when compared to the competition. read more

Starting with COVID protocols, it's really inconsistent here. I would have said nonexistent, but there are a few booths with plastic dividers. However, there are just as many other booths without them. Makes no sense. There's no sign posted on the door requesting masks be worn by nonvaccinated people, and no one in the restaurant (servers, cooks, or diners) were wearing one besides us. Kiddo got the bacon cheeseburger with fries. I ordered the cheesesteak sub that comes with potato chips. French fries are a $2 upcharge. My sandwich was okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything to write home about either. It was difficult to eat because everything was sliding off one side of the sandwich while the other side was plain bread. I had to keep fighting to get it evened out. It would have been easier had I been able to cut the sandwich in half, but the knives they give you are basically only for spreading butter, though they might be able to handle cutting a French fry in half, but that's debatable. I asked for mayonnaise instead of Italian dressing on my sandwich. That meant I got three packets of mayo. That's not bad, except they were impossible to open. I did the "tear here" thing and it only tore it above where the perforation was, not on it, so nothing came out. Even with getting my teeth involved, I could NOT get any of the three open. I'd thought about cutting it with a knife, but that knife wouldn't have cut anything. It was very frustrating. Kiddo only ate half of her hamburger. She said it tasted like it was burnt. When I removed the top bun, I saw why - the bacon was black. I would have asked the server for a pair of scissors for the mayo packet & perhaps another burger without the seriously burned bacon, but she never came to check on us after delivering our food. We didn't see her again until it was time to pay. That was annoying, but it was even more annoying to hear her checking on all her other tables. That made it go from annoying to insulting. We won't be going back any time soon read more
