After a small mixup with the requested delivery time of our order on a busy holiday weekend, both the driver and receptionist were incredibly accommodating to make it right. We greatly appreciate the kindness and professionalism they showed- no doubt that it comes from the top! We look forward to continue supporting this local gem. The pizzas were delicious as well! read more

Food was good, nothing special. I guess with the prices they charged I was expecting more gourmet/homemade food, not some frozen stuff I could get at Walmart and reheat for a fraction of the price. $25 for a meatball sub, 12 pretzel knots, and a 2 liter Pepsi delivered. Good service and fast delivery. read more

Handlebar Cafe - Italian Near Me - Butler, Pennsylvania

We wanted to try something different and not in the city. This place did not disappoint! Great beer selection (we all had some amber ale...I forget what it was called...but it was delicious.) The wedding soup was wonderful and I'm a tough critic when it comes to wedding soup! Lots of meatballs and nice chunky carrots. The Chicago style pizza was THE BEST EVER! Piping hot, nice tang in the sauce and bursting with flavor. My only complaint...they didn't warn us ahead of time to save room for dessert. Excellent service too. We'll be back again for sure. read more

Don't pass this lil' cafe up. It appears to be fairly new. They're still adding the finishing touches but it's cute and uniquely decorated. We enjoyed the bicycle as the focal point - "fd" & the chalkboard border quotes were entertaining while we waited for lunch. My co-worker and I both ordered Stromboli & you won't be let down. It had the perfect butter-garlic touch & everything was pleasantly priced. Staff was attentive. read more

We are new to PA and wanted to check out local restaurants. We found Handlebar Cafe online, looked at the menu, and decided to give it a try. From the moment we walked into the restaurant everything was amazing!! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, fast service, and excellent food. We have been back there multiple times and it never disappoints!! If you're anywhere near Handlebar Cafe, definitely stop in! read more

Thatcher was our server, and he was wonderful! We really appreciated how quick and fabulous he was:) food was awesome too 10/10 the fried mushrooms were bangin read more

I got chicken pastine soup and received wedding soup a small ham and pineapple pizza, it had bacon on it. The only part of the order they got right was the meatball sub. It was excellent! read more

Good pizza! And good provolone wheel would go there just for that! Soup not so good. A little pricey.

My girlfriend and I needed to be in Saxonburg for an appointment around lunch time and found this place off the beaten path. The décor was adorable, the pizza was excellent and the server very attentive. We didn't get drinks, but their dedication to local breweries and wineries is applaudable. I strongly recommend if you are passing through. read more

Cute place, although it could use more thought. I can defiantly tell the owners were never in the restaurant business before. I started with the zucchini appetizer, who could screw that up? They had no flavorso I chose a different restaurant for the rest of my dinner So I gave it another try by ordering a Chicken, bacon, ranch pizza... it had no flavor, seriously, it's got bacon, how can you take the flavor out of bacon? Well they figured out how. I will probably give them one more chance, in about a year read more

I love this place already! It was my first time too! It was very good! Our group had the fried zucchini, it was my first time having it, and it was delicious! I don't like onions, but my uncle loved the barbecue sauce with onion rings. If you plan to get a sub or a calzone, consider the portion size. My ham and cheese sub had a lot of ham on it. I mean I'm not complaining I love a lot of ham and it filled me up quick. The service was also very friendly and asked us for refills. I'm definitely going back when I have the chance! read more

This was the best Italian food ever, you should eat it with your eyes and mouth and nose!!!

We stumbled upon this place on our way home an estate sale. The cub appeal and the name enticed is to give it a try. We had a cup of their wedding soup. It was so packed with veggies, pasta and meatballs that it was more of a stew. It was very flavorful but I would have liked more broth. Regardlessly it was very tasty. The 4 of us ordered a deep dish pizza with ham spinach and tomato. It was also very tasty and filling. The crust was different than I have ever had. I just cant put my finger on why but it was just different It was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. It almost reminded us of a wheat crust. The service was ok. Young staff that seemed inexperienced. The four of us had water but only one get a refill. I'm sure they will get better with time. The place is decorated cute with a bicycle theme and a tin ceiling. Price is affordable. I would go back again if in the area. read more

Ordered takeout over the weekend from recommendations of friends. Very cute restaurant. Everything was yummy. Loved my chopped salad and Chicago deep dish pizza. My husband who prefers the thin crust enjoyed his pizza. I like how you can order a small personal pizza so everyone gets what they want. The zucchini planks were so yummy. Family also liked the wings. There wedding soup was filled with so many veggies! We look forward to our next visit! Thanks for the yummy food! read more

We love eating here!! Friendly atmosphere, absolutely great staff and the Chicago style pizza is the best!!

It is very good! Loved the signature salad and our table also ordered a pizza, Chicken parmigiana, Pasta sauce was good not great....everyone enjoyed their meal. The staff were very pleasant. Would recommend. read more

Great place to stop and eat not a biker bar LOL I would recommend the steak and cheese wedgie

Ordered wings and pizza for delivery, order showed up sooner than expected. They forgot to put the little plastic thing the pizza, so the cheese stuck to the lid. They offered to bring another pizza, but the cheese came right off, I said not to worry about it. Wings had a good flavor, and were nice and crispy. Pizza sauce and toppings were really good, knocking one star off because I expect a square pizza to be crispier. read more

What an adorable place! Had a nice quiet lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. Really enjoyed the outside seating area. Service was friendly and fast and the grilled chicken salad was delicious. read more

Beware. Poor dining experience, disgusting dirty ketchup bottle with dried ketchup on cap, fish dinner was marginal with hard fried ridge around the outside edge of the fish. Service was marginal, was not asked about a refill of the iced tea until after I was finished eating. Parents of a child permitted the child to bang on a piano in the dining area. Monotonous generic background music and liberal left-leaning programing on the numerous big screen TVs, this was uncalled for. Will never go back. read more

My wife and I have enjoyed excellent prepared pizza from Germany to the United States. We have visited many pizza restaurants and have searched for the perfect pizza that has immediate flavor without the bite of the "run of the mill" pizza establishments. Handlebar Cafe, located outside the central storefronts of a small town, Saxonburg, PA., proved to be a great find for superb pizza, service, surrounded by a war, and pleasing environment. Our lunch commenced with fried mushrooms which are the best that we have tasted anywhere incorporating that special crunch that complemented the hot fresh whole mushroom. That tantalizing starter prepared us for a superb pepperoni pizza that not only tantalized our taste buds but also heightened all senses. The harmony created in our pizza was well beyond what we have tasted in many other Italian restaurants in the US and Europe. We will undoubtedly return to this diamond in the rough restaurant to sample their other Italian dishes along with another mouth watering pizza! read more

Did an online order and went to pick up my order. The kitchen never made it. They were too busy smoking outside when I pulled in and messing around. Granted, the owner stepped in and had the meal ready immediately and threw in complimentary garlic knots. But it was beyond frustrating because the order should have been completed in 50 minutes and not over an hour and fifteen minutes. The teenage staff is sorely lacking training... or care. read more

I ordered the Mac&Cheese bake. The menu stated: "Choose from original, Hot Pepper Cheese or Alfredo." One would assume that you would be served baked macaroni with pepper cheese. What they served me was Cavatappi (corkscrew noodles) in a buffalo sauce, topped with mozzarella and a few slices of jalapenos. I usually do not complain or request a new dish. However, this was simply not edible. I explained to the waitress that the menu was misleading and my meal was not edible because there was too much buffalo sauce. I was then informed it was the chef's "special sauce" and it was not buffalo sauce. I politely disagreed and stated I wasn't paying for my meal as I couldn't eat it. Waitress goes back to the kitchen, I'm assuming to tell the cook, and we hear someone mumbling, slamming and banging things in the kitchen. Afterwards, the owner came to the table to correct me, stating it was not buffalo sauce. I had to politely argue that my pasta was in a buffalo sauce soup and they should fix their menu. She then said, "I'm not here to argue with you, I'm here to help you." and then she agreed that it was buffalo sauce. So my overall review is low. I managed in the food service industry for years. I don't fret over little things. However, each employee's reaction to my simple complaint was ridiculous. I won't return there. There are plenty other excellent small restaurant owners who I would much rather support. read more

My fiancé and I eat here as our go to for Italian dinners. Pasta dinners are delicious. Served nice and hot and tasty. Be careful not touching plates as they are very hot! Side salad has a good mix. Meatballs are delicious. Waitresses have always been very attentive. We met Linda the owner a few times and if something is wrong she makes it right. And Linda cares about Veterans and gives a Veteran discount. Glad this restaurant is only a short distance from us. Next time we are going to try the deep dish pizza as it sounds great! read more

Great place overall! The food and service were both very good! Also, our pasta dinners came with soup and salad...which is hard to find!

I love the Handlebar Cafe. The food is delicious, the servers are very friendly, it is clean, and the owner is very nice and attentive to the diners. Love the deep dish pizza, lasagna roll ups, hoagies, dinner salads and soup. Never had a bad meal. read more

This pizza was AWESOME! The deep dish is the best I've had, even the ones I've had in Chicago. The crust has a delicious flavor and the sauce is flavorful without being overpowering. Buffalo chicken pizza is another favorite of ours. Definitely save room for fried dough before you leave though--yumm. Servers were friendly and always busy at this comfortable family restaurant. Highly recommend !! read more
