A friend tipped me off just two days ago about how he had found an EPIC Philly Cheesesteak out in the suburbs (without driving to Downtown Philly to Angelo's or Uncle Gus'!) Right near the Exton Mall, I swung by yesterday after shopping at Boscov's for Christmas presents and opted for a slice of the ir Pizza for a light lunch. Yes, I saw several of their cheesesteaks carried by to other customers but tasting one will be on my next trip, but the thick , generous portion of rib eye steak, Coooer cheese, spilling out of a seeded roll for an astounding $15 looks like an incredible deal. But I digress- this family- run restaurant knows how to make astonishingly great pizza, and can do any of their offerings on GLUTEN-FREE crust. They use Imported Italian flours and cook up their crusts crispy, well done, and delicious that beats the mouth-feel of anything I have had in the area. The meats are of superior quality and flavor, and everything is available by the slice and displayed in a case of fresh slices in so great a variety you will have difficulty choosing just one! The slice named "The Charlie" called out to me, totally on visual appeal, and I learned secondarily that it sported classic pizza sauce, creamy Mozerella, pepperoni, finished with pecorino Romano, fresh Basil, and hot honey- It knocked my socks off! Whether you are in the mood for an amazing pizza, or a cheesesteak, you've gotta try this place. It is clean, well staffed, with a great vibe! Find it a coupla blocks from the mall, on Lancaster Ave across the street from the Sherwin Williams paint store. read more

Had to bring two disbelievers (one thinks Jersey Mike's is the bomb, the other, a chef, had his only cheesesteak ever from Geno's in Philly, enough said) the best cheesesteak I could without trekking to Roxborough or Old City. Ordered them both a standard cheesesteak wit. Unfortunately, mine had a nasty chunk of gristle, but was otherwise an 8.5. My companion was very happy with her usual chicken cheesesteak... Waiting for their feedback: don't let me down Gentili's. The feedback: the chef, very picky Italian chef, was blown away (his benchmark was Geno's, so). The Jersey Mike's fans were likewise impressed admitting Jersey Mike's is a bad facsimile... My mission to conquer mediocre and bad cheesesteaks, and uninformed/misinformed opinions, continues... read more

When Gentillis landed here they made quite a splash. And I'll admit that the first Pizza we got there (takeout) was superb. Thin crispy crust, perfectly charred. A winner. But that has not stood up to the test of time. The second was good /ok - but not great. The 3rd - a "brooklyn" pie was pretty abysmal and not nearly what it was cracked up to be. I guess their idea of "fresh" mozzarella and mine are quite far apart. As well as what "thin crust" means. We "ate in" that night, and the kids (and i do mean teenagers) running the show there really need some training on customer service. Let's just say they didn't present as professional. They were having too good a time chatting and looking at their phones to be concerned with the customers on a Saturday night no less. Oh - if you're looking for ambiance - don't look here lol. its classic pizza shop. I have done the outside thing in the summer - i'm sure that adds a bit, but not inside. We did recently gave the cheesesteaks and hoagies a try. I will say that the cheesesteak was pretty darn good - even if a bit small by local standards (10"). The hoagie was not at the same level. They used a TON of sharp provolone - way more than meat and were stingy with the Prosciutto. That's unbalanced and just poor execution. I'll stick with Lorenzo's in West Chester,when it comes to hoagies and steaks - thanks. We might give their pizza one more try to see how it goes. So i guess it's safe to say that the hype didn't match the reality in our case. read more

Loved the Caesar wrap, the game changer & the godfather pizza!! The indoor / outdoor area was so pretty. Service was so nice, you can tell it's a family run business. 10/10 stop read more

There's a reason why I gave this place five stars last time and we are back for round two last time. I got cheesesteaks and pizza which is always a 10 out of 10. Their crust is amazing. Amazing today. We're here to try their new item. It's an Italian Panini. I got a meatball and she got the chicken pesto while we were waiting. He gave us a complementary pizza that I can't remember the name of right now, so I'll just have a photo of it once again if you're not down here, you're missing out you do not have to go to Philadelphia to get a great cheesesteak if not read more

Ordered 5 sandwiches. 3 cheesesteak , 1 italiano, 1 drunken chicken. Cheesesteak were fine, roll seemed softer than my first time there however. Drunken chicken was fine, no issue. Italiano ( chicken cutlet , broccoli rabe, sharp provo) bland at best flavor wise and roll was completely burnt. To the point I'm surprised someone made the conscious decision to wrap it and serve it to a customer.​ Definite lack of training between register/phone /counter people and back of house. Don't tell someone 15 min aon the phone and then have me sit in your store for another 30 min. So 45min and burnt subpar sandwich didnt sit well with me. Happy to provide photo of what was served if the owner is interested. read more

Very good. I recommend going. Still "in my opinion" not the best I've had, but still very good. Pizza I loved! 5 outta 5! Cheesesteak was good but I couldn't taste the fried onions due to so much melted cheese 4 outta 5 Italian Sub was a 3..... I wouldn't go outta my way like I do for other places, but would definitely go again when in area read more

I could give this place 5 stars for the customer service alone, but the food here is also outstanding. I've only been here twice, and the first time I had a lovely encounter with a regular who eats lunch there often. He told the man behind the counter it was my first time ordering and they offered two slices of pizza of my choice on the house. I was blown away by how kind this was and just the friendliness and whole vibe of this place. I've seen this place on Instagram and have heard nothing but good things, specifically regarding their cheesesteaks. The place was a lot clean and spotless which is appealing when you're doing the kind of business they are. I ordered the second time the other day for lunch with my co-workers. When my co-worker picked up our order, there was something missing from mine so when my co-worker called to let them know, the OWNER quickly offered to deliver it for us. I will tell you what, as a healthcare professional who is only given 30 minutes to order lunch, drive there to pick it up, drive back, and then find time to eat between patients, this was SO appreciated. He wouldn't even accept a tip which I so badly wanted to give him for his troubles as I know he was so busy during lunch rush. Thank you so much, your kindness does not go unnoticed. Anyway, now for the food! The cheesesteaks at this place are the best in the area, hands down. They season their meat so well, that there is flavor bursting in every bite despite what you add to it! I got fried onions and cooper sharp and that's all I need. The roll was seeded which I love and had a light toast to it which is perfect to stand up to the amounting of filling the sandwich has without getting soggy. I ordered a personal Abbruzese pizza which was literally perfect. The crust at this place is unmatched compared to other pizza places in the area, there is a nice crisp and a very slight char to it, but is by no means overdone. The flavor of ingredients on this pie worked so wonderfully together, and again the crust stood up to everything on top, no flop. The chicken pesto sandwich was good, and packed with ingredients. My co-worker said it best when she said "Since I've had that cheesesteak I can't stop thinking about this place and already want to go back" read more

That Chicken Cheesesteak Different. Definitely A Chef's Kiss. I Am A Chef. When I Tell You How That Thing Was Made. I Really Felt Like My Momma Was Standing There In Spirit Smiling Watching Me Enjoy A Sandwich Like She Once Made For Me. Thanks Gentili's. Of Course I'll Be Back. read more

I reviewed this place after I visited the first time, which was a great experience with good service and very good cheese steaks. The food is still top notch, but unfortunately I've noticed an irritating trend over the last two or three visits since my first review. Pretty simply, they prioritize the takeout orders over the dine In orders. The last three times I've been in a mostly empty restaurant and still took 18 to 20 minutes to get our steaks. In the meantime, I'm watching order after order walk out of the restaurant for takeout. Easily 6 or 7 take out orders for every dine in.. I know the restaurant biz, and there's no legitimate reason this should happen three times in a row other than favoring takeout. This defeats the purpose of counter service.. lve heard others, including people in the restaurant, complaining about the same thing. I'll give it one more shot just because the steaks are so good, but if it happens again, I'm out. There are several options nearby that still have a good cheesesteak, albeit not as good as this one, but at least comes with far less frustration. read more

They get a 5 for their pizzas and a 3 for their steaks. Pizza is about as good as you'll get around here. Steaks are very mediocre. They'll fill you up without making you gag but that is about it. read more

We had the Sorrento pizza. It was terrific. also reasonably pricedl I highly recommend. read more

4 stars for the cheesesteaks They were delicious! We liked the pizza too. The veggie wrap wasn't good though. It was full of hot veggies so the wrap was really soggy. I thought the veggies would be cold inside when I ordered. read more

Wow! Fantastic experience stopping by Gentili's today for lunch. Friendly staff, clean restaurant and a cheesesteak with Cooper Sharp that was a 10. Probably the best cheesesteak I've had. Great roll, excellent meat that was tender and flavorful and fried onions done perfectly. Will definitely stop in again next time I'm in the area. read more

Pizza was a 6.5/10 it was very greasy it tasted homemade at the same time didn't taste homemade. The cheese steak had lots of cheese on it and very greasy. 7/10.

We finally gave this place a try and we really liked it. So far we have only had their pizza, but we loved it. Thin and crispy on the bottom and a puffy border crust made this one of my favorite pizza around here. The place was clean, had quick service, and the staff was friendly. read more

Came Here in March just driving by and glad we did . Awesome. They were building a patio seating area back then . Fast forward to this past weekend and the patio is finished , the employees all look familiar and the food hasn't changed a bit . Our hockey player kids loved the pizza by the slice and the philly sandwiches . I loved the Turkey Diablo. Just another example of great food back East. We will be back in February for a trifecta visit . Well done guys . read more

I wanted good pizza tonight. My boyfriend wanted to try the Charlie pizza. I got the Margherita pizza. This pizza was not only good, it was EXCELLENT! I only review things that are really bad or really great! This was superb. Busy, but quick friendly service. We will definitely be back, my boyfriend really wants to try the cheesesteaks. Best thing is I don't feel bloated or full. I love the thin airy crust and excellent flavor. read more

We got take out here and it was delicious! First time in a long time I got fries that were still crispy when we got home!

Had lunch here and the slice combo was a great deal. I got a slice of white pizza and one with spinach and ricotta. Both were great, but the white pizza was my favorite--creamy, garlicky, and not too heavy. Crust had good structure, and the slices were big. The place isn't fancy but feels really welcoming. Staff greeted me as soon as I walked in and offered recommendations. Easy choice for a quick and tasty bite. read more

This new addition to Exton is fantastic, they have a wide and unique menu of pizzas. The operation is straightforward and offers fast service. The crust of the pizza is crisp and tasty. The employees were polite and the entire operation is right in front of you. The place was clean, easy to get in and out, played upbeat music in the background and attentive. I thought the prices were reasonable and portions good. read more

Cheesesteaks review... meat was not cut up enough in the rolls, rolls were too soft and chewy, fried onions were cut up in chunks not sliced with the cooper sharp cheese so overwhelming the sandwich to where you couldn't eat it with your hands you had to cut it up.... Not for me... won't be back....Probably should have ordered the pizza (looking how good the reviews were) .. Service though was quick which was a plus. read more

First visit yesterday @ 5:30. The place is brand new, so certainly clean. There are a decent # of tables, but most folks were take-out. One table for six near the side window, a handful of tables for four and one or two small tables for 2. Great service all around. The owner was on hand and training someone, so a lot on his plate while they gain popularity. For dinner, my wife and I split a Cheesesteak with onions and Cooper Sharp (standard) plus a large Abruzzese pie. The cheesesteak wasn't stuffed to the gills, but super tender and flavorful. Loaded with cheese (a bit too much for my taste, but I know I'm in the minority) with a seeded roll crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside (Carangi roll). Large onions cooked perfectly. The pie was solid too. Not as thin as I was expecting based on some of the early pics, but not overly salty as someone mentioned here. Great balance of flavors and served to us within 15 minutes. Overall, a great meal on that cheat day. I'll have to try their monthly special. I believe it was a meatball with vodka sauce. Note: Surprised this place didn't get a mention in Godfather of Meat's top 10 based on his stellar review of the place. Ah well. Too many to choose from I guess. read more

I know Pizza very well, and eat it everywhere in New York, New Jersey, PA, Maryland and I can tell they use really good QUALITY cheese and a good pizza-crunch! This place was busy and hopping, and looks to be the favorite local place. My daughter and I came here to visit the first time after walking the Chester Valley trail, so it was a nice place to stop and have dinner. It was a good experience. read more

Great Pizza! I love it here, the owner is very kind as well. I will be back to try other menu items.

Really good pizza- actually went back the next day! Only reason I didn't give them 5 stars- a worker was sitting on what looked like a prep table... not a fan of that read more

Tried their pizza for the first time a couple weeks ago. REALLY great pizza! Crispy bottom and very flavorful! This may be our new favorite place to get pizza! read more

Gentili's has become our new spot for pizza, cheesesteaks, salads, etc. We recently ordered catering for our son's birthday and Tony knocked it out of the park. Did a caesar salad, hot sandwich tray (pesto bomba, 9th street, italiano), cheesesteaks/chicken steaks with cooper sharp, and a bunch of pizzas (Originals, Charlie, Donato, Gentili) -- All were a hit and everyone was asking where the food was from. Great food and nice people. Treat yourself and place an order now. read more

Visited my go-to cheese steak provider. My first two visits were great..,tender cheese steak great sauce. Today the cheese steak was extremely tough. After two bites I threw it away. Worst cheese steak I have eaten in 20 years. The meat was so gross. Not going back......very overpriced for the quality. read more

Eaten here several times over the past few months, pizza, hoagies and cheesesteaks are all awesome. Cheesesteaks are so good, high quality beef, very tasty, perfect blend of beef, cooper sharp cheese and fried onions, and the seeded roll, so good. Honestly one of the best cheesesteaks I have ever had. Pizza is amazing as well, flavorful, crispy crust, delish. The staff are super friendly, and the outside seating area is great in a nice day. You in the disappointed! read more

Gentili’s Pizza & Steaks - Cheesesteak with fried onions. - Pizza Near Me - Exton, Pennsylvania

Worst cheese steak ever, meat tasted liked by it was run through a blender. Kind of oozed over the top of the roll. Not recommended

Absolutely delicious pizza! The best you can get outside of Philly or NYC. It's the crust that makes it truly spectacular. We live in Downingtown and I drive the 16 miles (round trip) to get their pizza every Friday night. It's a few bucks more than your average pizza shop in a strip shopping center, but worth every penny. The owner seems like a real nice guy too. Just FYI, the place gets CRAZY busy on Friday nights! So busy, that sometimes, they have to turn off their phones! The pizza is that good. Know what you are getting into! read more

Delicious cheesesteaks and pizza!! Staff is always very friendly. Grandma pie is my favorite
