    If you are and EddienChooch follower, you may have seen him order from this establishment for the tradition called Pizza Crust Friday he started with his beloved pooch Chooch who recently passed. But as you can guess from the name this place probably serves other food items besides pizza. In fact there is a whole other section and entrance to just order and pick up pizza. I knew I was coming to Philly for a Library Conference and was planning to come here, with or without my co-worker. Now, if you want to have a Philly brotherly love I believe you have to go out of the City (like most places which are touristy). This definitely is a local place, that you can tell many local Italian folks make this their regular spot and they definitely if know you are an outsider. I'm from San Francisco with Pier 39/Fisherman's wharf is predominantly Italian and this place reminded me of the local joints in North Beach. However, we found the brotherly/sisterly love that Philly is known here at this place. Our server was really nice and helpful especially when we were deciding what to eat. My colleague is little picky with food, but we made it work. Entree came with soup, salad and bread. when she asked about the soup of the day it was cream of broccoli. She opted for salad and I opted for the soup. And I was not disappointed. It wasn't that soup out the industrial size can some restaurants use or over thick creamy gunk. The soup was made with a good consistency and real fresh broccoli and carrots, which was new for me and I'm here for it. She ordered Baked Penne and I ordered the pescatore linguine as I love all things seafood. Her food looked really good and she ate just about all of it and my linguine was the best I've had in a long time. Shellfood just right and the calamari not over cooked. I know I live in the San Francisco area, but I don't get out there that much and I usually order my fresh steamed crab and clam chowder. And of course I had to order a personal pizza as it was a Friday and pay homage to the tradition of PCF.. I was going to just order pepperoni, but then I saw sweet peppers as a option!. Ate it later that evening, and let me tell ya!!! It matched my local pizza joint I go to at home. I'm going to try to get back here before heading home. I highly recommend you take a side trip to this spot. The service, the food, and the price (significantly lower that in town).

    Shrimp scampi

    Gino's has been the best pizza spot in the northeast my whole life . All their food is delicious . My favorites are, cheesesteaks w/extra cheese , shrimp scampi, tomato pie. My son loves their cheeseburgers everyone likes their pizza's . Gino's is also clean & I don't have to worry about who's preparing my food .

    Sample platter, wings , mozzarella sticks , fried mushrooms , chicken tenders  and jalapeno poppers

Never has to wait before but sure it will be worth it

    I had a sudden craving for pasta in white wine sauce. I searched on Google, Yelp, and Grubhub trying to find a place that delivers but using their own drivers. No offense to other platform delivery drivers and my apologies if you feel offended, with all the videos surfacing of folks eating customers food, I'm pretty nervous about that. I know for sure that the restaurant drivers will never touch the food they sign up to deliver, I trust them better in handling my food. I found Gino's Pizza Cafe on Frankford Ave. A little skeptical but my curiosity got the best of me. I order Linguine Pescatore in white wine sauce. And hub try their pizza. The cashier told me it would take 40 minutes to receive my food, and it actually did take exactly 40 minutes. My entree arrived very hot but my hubby's pizza was luckwarm. Like did they baked the pizza first and let it sit while they start cooking my pasta dish??? My linguine pescatore was bland too. I had a similar dish somewhere in Bucks County and it was delicious, I guess I'm looking for a alternative closer to home, this is not it!

    Chicken marsala?
    Jennifer G.

    This was supposed to be chicken Marcella. Looks like they forgot the flour and the pan to give it a golden nice color. I got some baked chicken in flavored buttery water, definitely will never order again from here. Shame too because I really enjoy the soup they have there.

The moment we arrived, we were greeted by a bartender whose hostility was immediate and inescapable. His disdain for customers was so palpable that nearly every patron at the bar was openly discussing it, people were literally afraid to order drinks from him. He met every request with eye rolling contempt, as if our very presence was an imposition. Later in the night, when I ordered a drink from a different spot at the bar, he barked at me for doing so. Apparently that wasn't "how things worked here." Never mind that the bar was nearly empty and obviously unassigned seating. The pettiness was staggering. That was my breaking point. I called him out for his abusive treatment of paying customers.. Instead of addressing the obvious problem, a manager approached me with a threat: "We know how he is, but if you don't relax, you're gonna have to leave." Let that sink in. Rather than deal with a employee with an apparent pattern of hostility, they chose to intimidate a customer for voicing a legitimate complaint. Multiple patrons actually thanked me afterward, they'd endured the same treatment all night but lacked the nerve to speak up. I documented the experience on their Instagram. They deleted it immediately. This isn't a bad night...it's a culture problem. Paulie Gees has chosen protection over accountability, and their customers are the ones paying the price. I won't be back, and I'd urge others to take their business elsewhere.

The dish was delicious. I enjoyed my plate of sea-inspired tonnarelli nero. Bay scallops in crab ragu with fennel sofrito. Served with squid ink pasta that imparted a slight brininess. The pasta was cooked pangrattato style-- coated in panko bread crumbs and garlic. The dish had many flavors but they all came back to the theme. Cocktail prices and entree prices were very reasonable. They offer happy hour drinks and specials. Certainly a very good choice if you're in the area.

I personally would order this as my meal if I could. room temp, oily, good crunch to soft ratio. Judion Beans: good beans. they are on a similar wavelength as butter beans. honestly I get them for the table for the extra bowl of oil at the bottom to dip the crusts in. Creamy Oregano Salad: very interesting. small shaves of mushroom and fennel. very slight bitter taste. oddly addictive. the olives were my favorite part. i'd consider these friendly olives to those suspicious of olives. and the olives are cut in halves, so easy to pick out. so are the mushrooms. easy split for a table of four. beyond that i'd get two. *ADD ON* pickled chilies: very good. I suggest adding this to the pie. they are green, spicy, delicious, absolutely lovely. Corn Pizza: all together very delicious. my favorite part are the cherry tomatoes on top, which I would really like to be an add on option to other pies. they are the perfect flavor and size. i'm not particularly a tomato fan, especially whole. these are a rare exception. Classic Pizza?: solid, no notes. good as always. My only wish is that they offered a sauce to dip my crust in. they have very good crust, perfect ration of crispy and fluffy. just needs a sauce.

I loved the burrata! Super creamy and well complemented by the umami flavor of the mushrooms. Mains: Pizza Arrabbiata and Roasted Peppers Pizzas - Both were delicious! If you liked spicy, you'll love the arrabbiata. The cream and cherry pepper vinaigrette on the red pepper pizza was so perfectly savory with a hint of acidity. If you have to go with one, I vote for the red pepper pizza.

I chose the pizza counter so that I could watch staff making pizzas. As I was there on my own, the serving staff continued to stop by and check on me. The menu includes neopolitan pizzas (12" feeding 1-2 people) and metro pizzas (28" feeding 3-4 people). They make pizzas, calzones, antipasti, and salads. I chose a Neapolitan-style pepperoni pizza consisting of pepperoni, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fresh oregano. It was quite filling and absolutely delicious! They also sell pizza kits so that you can make your own pizza at home. Pizzeria Vetri was created to celebrate the art of authentic pizza making. They aimed to create simple food made exactly the right way using the best and freshest ingredients served in a space where all are welcome.
