I greatly enjoyed my experience at this unique family owned restaurant. There are cute, handwritten drawings, and cartoons and comics along the walls. The service was extra friendly and they explained to me the type of pizza in the inspiration. Sauce on top. There's a full bar in the back that must be fun to visit when it's open, but there's a whole good full menu with wings and most things you expect. It was really delicious and I'm glad we stopped to try it. read more

Handlebar Cafe - Cute place! - Italian Near Me - Butler, Pennsylvania

My mom and I stopped here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. This spot stands alone on its own and has ample parking. When we went in, the restaurant wasn't busy so we were able to seat ourselves in a booth. We ordered a few menu items including a house salad, wings, meatballs, and a mini deep dish pizza. Everything was delicious! My mom and I really enjoyed the homemade ranch. The wings were also really good and crispy. Our waitress was very nice too. This is definitely a nice little casual dining spot. read more

Nice spot! Stopped in for lunch with my gal pal Kat...her pick, and it was a good one. Nice looking place, clean and well laid out...albeit a bit out of the way in the sticks. The server was really nice, and the garlic knots and white pizza we ordered (with anchovies - yum!) were both really tasty! The bill was quite reasonable, and they do offer a military discount! An excellent spot to try! Good stuff here! read more

Had a delicious sweet sausage sub with fries and a side of ranch for takeout while visiting the area.

My boyfriend and I stopped here after a Butler adventure. We went for a drive and went for a walk in a park in the snow. We found this gem when hunger hit. It is so cute inside and even has an outdoor area to sit in the summertime. We had a couple beers along with a provolone wheel, some delicious wedding soup and the Hawaiian pizza. The wedding soup was loaded with veggies and protein. I highly recommend. Our server was so nice. She brought us a taste of the tomato soup to try and it was delicious and flavorful but a little too creamy for me. The place was getting crowded when we left. Looks very popular. We will definitely be back to try more variety. I heard the garlic knots are very popular as well. read more

We so enjoyed our visit here. Uniquely bicycle, scooter themed. We've been searching for a Chicago Deep Dish like we had in Florida and we finally found it. It was so good!!! Can't wait to go back and try the other menu items. Oh, the potato chips were amazing too! read more

Handlebar Cafe - Chicago deep dish pizza Handlebar Cafe - Italian Near Me - Butler, Pennsylvania

Good food, especially the pizza, good beer selection, inviting service and location from Saxonburg.

After Saxonburg Winter Fest, we stopped in to eat. It wasn't busy at first, but the place quickly got slammed and there was only one server handling everything. Our food took quite a while, but she was kind, calm, and genuinely apologetic. I had the chicken pastina soup (which was delicious) and ordered almond tort cake after everyone else's food came. When it was taking a while, I politely told her not to worry about it, and she still went out of her way to comp me a slice to go, which was totally unnecessary but so appreciated. Managing a packed restaurant solo with that level of grace and professionalism is rare. She did an incredible job and truly deserves recognition. read more

Pizza is so so. The thin pizza is not really thin and hawaiian pizza could use more pineapples. The deep dish pizza crust is too crunchy(like crackers) but the toppings were good. read more

The food was amazing and the staff was super nice. We picked up the deep dish pizza to go because it's my father-in-law's favorite, and he loved it. The place was super cute too, and we said we'd definitely be back to dine in. We were a little early so we sat outside while they finished up, and they brought it right out when it was ready. Highly recommend. read more

Great deep dish pizza and good wings! Our kids love it there as well. Worth the drive!

Crust on both pizzas was really good. Both sauces were ok seemed to have a medicinie flavor. Toppings are expensive at $4.24 each. But seemed to be fresh and a decent quality. Over all value of $139.00+ order for a sub and two pizzas seems a bit steep for what we got. The older woman seemed nice and was helpful. Two boys in the back were laughing about what who knows. The one girl behind the counter had the nerve to comment to my daughter and ask, "what no tip?" As my daughter was walking away. She was confronted and corrected by the older woman, I assume the owner. That lost my business there forever. We picked up the order, a 25 minute drive each way. This place was recommended to us by two substantial people within the community. Not impressed. read more

The food is awesome. A hidden gem. Highly recommend. Deep dish pizza, chopped salad is a mazing.

Visited recently for lunch. Fish sandwich and meatball sub ordered. Both were delicious. Service was perfect.

Sara was such a great server. Very attentive. Pizza was amazing and atmosphere was great!

Good food and extremely nice staff. Good prices. The only drawback is that the menu does not change, it is always the same items. We have gone there for years but we are tired of the same old food choices. read more

4.5 stars! If you're looking for pizza in the Saxonburg area, look no further. Have visited and ordered takeout many times, failed to write a review until now... Most recently, a new-house painting party enjoyed: the Loaded Stromboli, Supreme, and pepperoni pizzas. Nice beer selection, too. Friendly staff, all around great neighborhood spot. read more

Really was just not good. I got a cup of the pastina soup. The chicken was weird. Like it's precooked frozen processed chicken "breasts" that are cut up with a knife. Then I had meatballs. The texture was very soft and I couldn't really eat them. Not sure if they are made in house or not but they didn't seem like it. Really lacking that meaty taste. I was grossed out. I'll probably not come back. Nothing wowed me. The kitchen seems lazy and is cutting corners instead of cooking their own chicken breasts for their soups etc. I almost got a salad but I'm kind of glad I didn't. Who knows what mystery meat would've been on there. The place just felt a little grimy too which I'd look past if the food was worth it...totally not. Disappointed. read more

Food was good the Chicago style is good that's what we had. Service was very slow there was one server not ours that was running around doing everything I don't think she could have possibly done more. read more

I had a HUGE craving for a chicago style deep dish pizza after watching a review on one. I searched for 'deep dish butler' and got this restaurant! So worth the roughly 30 minute drive. Not only was the deep dish incredible, the garlic knots were the best I've ever had. I got my food to go, but the inside was very cute! Just pay attention to where you pull into the parking lot... they have a HUGE sign that says 'do not enter' but as I was leaving someone tried pulling in and near missed running right into me. read more

I normally order pizza, but this time I ordered the steak salad. To start with, it was a plate of fries with 10 leaves of lettuce (3 spinach leaves, 3 arugula leaves, 3 lettuce leaves and a small romaine piece) on the bottom. The steak was NOT steak, it was top of round (roast beef) and the butter knife couldn't cut through it. And fries were piled on top. It was the worst salad I've had in a long time. read more

Service was fine. Food: frozen precooked chicken had that briny prepared bounce and extreme saltiness, chopped salad was dressed with a jug of sweet Vidalia onion dressing / slaw dressing. Kinda gross. Deep dish was OK but toppings were highway robbery. We got 2 beers, 2 waters, 1 Half chopped salad, 1 full chicken salad, medium 9 inch deep dish with onions, sausage gp. 72 buckaroo. Deep dish used slices gp and onion, not chunky like authentic recipes, cost 28 dollars. Hope owners will hone in on some of the oddball ingredients and really own their ish read more

Moved to Pittsburgh area 3 years ago. I have been looking for authentic Chicago style pizza since getting here. I found it at The Handlebar Cafe!! It is excellent!!! read more

Knew it was going to happen. I hav few been on a streak with finding local and unique restaurants. The Handlebar Cafe however broke my streak. Great ambiance and the staff seemed extremely busy. Had two or three stop and bring our menu but had a hard time getting our order taken. Lots of local beers but unfortunately they were all warm. Finally walked to the cooler to find my own. And the pizza, which was supposed to be their claim to fame was just okay. Their Chicago Deep Dish was mediocre at best. My recommendation would be to pass on the Handlebar. read more

Great food and service. This is the perfect "honey I don't feel like cooking tonight" place to go. The zucchini planks are not to be missed. So fresh you would think they grab a zucchini out of the garden when you order. Pizza is another favorite of ours. read more

Handlebar Cafe has yummy pizza. It's a great atmosphere... the fries were soo good too.

Our favorite local restaurant! Highly recommend the Chicago deep dish pizzas - completely authentic and reasonably priced. The chicken Parmesan is also a great alternative. They also have free bingo on Thursdays! read more

We had a deep dish Pizza, plain, no toppings. Reminded me of deep dish I tried in Chicago. Worth a try.

This place is amazing, we go there with friends on Thursday evenings for dinner and free bingo. The food is very good, great deep dish pizza, great loaded fries, the fish sandwich is awesome. The rolled lasagna is so good and can feed two. They offer a 20% discount for veterans and will give another4% if you pay with cash. The only thing as good as the food is the service! They are so nice and helpful with anything we've ever needed. It's become a weekly event. read more

I'm shocked to tell you - this place hit all the marks. It's off in a random place outside of Pittsburgh where I didn't think we would find great food but wow did this place come through. The service was so friendly and kind. Dogs happily allowed and welcomed at their outdoor seating. which we love :) Onto the food - the garlic knots were a great sign of the pizza to come... so light and buttery and garlicky. The sauce is awesome. Eat the sauce. Which led us to get a Chicago deep dish. I've rarely had a good one outside Chicago and this one definitely was great. The kids got small pizzas made just to their liking and those were raves about too. Oh and their wine list is local and had some unique berry wines on it - the raspberry was sweet but yummy and would be great over ice cream . Go here. They were nice and the food was yummy. read more

Drove by this place on the way to a baseball tournament, looked nice from the outside. Cozy interior and nice atmosphere for a tavern. We had a house salad with ranch, garlic knots, and a large pizza with pepperoni, onions, green peppers and banana peppers. Everything was delicious.. salad was fresh greens with homemade ranch, garlic knots were buttery and super tasty and the pizza was piping hot and delicious with crisp crust. The only thing better than the food, was our waitress Brooke who was very attentive and did a super job. Will make a note to come back when we are out this way for a tournament. read more
