    Chicken look old. Look like fried bat wings

    Horrible, whoever packed my dozen of wings also packed 3 other different types of food. No apologie. Very poor customer service. The place can use an update.

    Half of the pizza had two kinds of peppers. The other half had sausage and mushrooms.

    Excellent crust, plentiful toppings. We happened upon this place because another restaurant was unexpectedly closed. This turned out to be a happy accident. The interior was plain but clean. The booth where we sat was comfortable. Our pizza arrived ahead of the time promised but that was good. The exterior of the crust was pleasantly crunchy and the interior was soft and chewy. They did not skimp on the toppings. I liked that they put the toppings on at the end so that the vegetables still had some crunch.

    Maietta can be hard to catch sight of along a road that bustles with commerce and trafficy, but one would be remissed in their foodie duties for whizzing by in ignorance for superlative Italian can be had here. Due to inclement weather and some health-related family issues, my birthday observation had been delayed by almost a month. This weekend's snow had me trapped at my parent's place after a friend dropped me off there late the previous night once our concert let out and late-night eats were had. After calling Maietta Restaurant, a place I'd been itching to try after I learned of its existence mere months ago (again, it's easy to miss), we assumed Dad and I would have to head over in his four-wheel drive white pickup truck to retrieve the food. Surprisingly and heroically, when they were told of our situation, the fine people at Maietta insisted on delivering dinner to us in Brookline, and deliver it on time they did. The smorgasbord arrived 45 minutes later (as the person on the phone informed us it would be) and was still as hot as it would have been had it come straight from a kitchen window for dine-in. Minimally-breaded flaps of fried oysters the size of tomato slices oozed with oceanic juice, putting far too many seafood eateries to rest. A colossal, ideally baked potato steamed when broken with knife and fork. A creamy cole slaw that managed to be sweet and tangy simultaneously was superior to anything scooped out of a local delicatessen case. Gnocchi melted in our mouths with little chewing needed and was dressed with a vibrant, opulent, triumphant tomato sauce. An eggplant parmesan served as a cookbook-perfect example of this Italian staple with its delicate texture, rich flavors, and generous amounts of cheese. The lasagna, however, would upstage all else with its sublimely al dente pasta sheets, heavenly ricotta filling, and of course, that regal, blood-red, tomato sauce and mozzarella tandem that surely tops the kingliest of pizza pies. A heartfelt thanks must go out to the fine people running Maietta Restaurant for making my belated natal day celebration special. Foodies may love their trends, but as a certain Huey Lewis and the News hit song from yesteryear declares, "When they play their music, ooh that modern music, they like it with a lot of style, but it's still that same old back beat rhythm, that really really drives 'em wild!" They say the Heart of Down Home Cookin's still beatin', and from what I've eaten, I believe 'em.

    We were wanting to order take-out one night and looked through our folder of coupons to pick a place. After being "pizza'd out," we decided to try Miaetta's due to their $20 deal (wings, hoagie, fries and a soda). The food was good. Nothing spectacular. The wings were sort of dainty, though I feel they compensated by giving us more than a dozen. The garlic parm sauce was also very light. They could have been a bit more generous. We ordered the Miaetta hoagie which was pretty much like a club. Once again, good but nothing to write home about. I could have made the same sandwich myself. Fries were standard. One thing to add - I found it strange that they only had four sodas to choose from: Pepsi, Mt. Dew, a generic juice and something else. Considering this place is extremely close to us, I would stop back to try other things on the menu. According to the other reviews on Yelp, their gourmet Italian food is what they're known for. Now we know what to order next time. My boyfriend said the scene on the inside was very old fashioned and homey, so I'd love to check them out again but perhaps dining in rather than take-out. I love nothing more than a good 'ole mom and pops kitchen!

Came here after seeing a bunch of recommendations online and my son and I split a 16 inch half pepperoni, half cheese pie. The sourdough crust, the sauce, the cheese, all were excellent.

If you are ever in the city, do yourself a favor and give it a shot. It will not disappoint!

Even though it was late we were greeted with exceptional customer service and were seated at a table. Our waiter, Remi with an I and not a Y was absolutely fabulous. He made great suggestions and the food did not disappoint. I ordered the 16 inch pepperoni with bacon. My daughter ordered the pepperoni roll and my wife ordered the meatballs and 2 Bianca slices. My wife's name is also Bianca so a double bonus. Our food came out about 15 minutes later and everything was piping hot. To my surprise the pepperoni came with the real bacon strips on top and not your average bacon bits. The sourdough is top notch as well. I ate 6 of the 8 slices while my daughter ate two along with her pepperoni roll. My daughter enjoyed her roll but did wish it had more cheese. My wife enjoyed her meatballs. They give you 4 and are a decent size. She was only able to eat 3. The Bianca slice is a healthy thick slice. Overall, we enjoyed our time at Driftwood. The service was OUTSTANDING (Remi). The food was good. We ended up staying 20 minutes past closing and didn't notice any change in customer service. This place is definitely worth a shot.

I cannot say it is the best pizza I have had because different styles are all amazing. This is a unique style and I love it. The sauce was amazing, the ricotta cheese was so delicious and their meatballs were tremendous. What I loved was the crust - it had some chew and some tug; there was a little bit of char on the outside and the bottom. The meatballs were delicious and that sauce! The vodka sauce was perfect. I would have thought I would have missed the standard cheese on a pizza but the ricotta was super good. I placed my order on their website and it was easy; I was able to pay using my Apple Pay, which was a plus. We arrived and it was ready but we stood talking to the men in the shop and they were so kind. They asked us questions about us when they learned we had, recently, moved here. You will not find a more personable greeting anywhere.

It comes with vodka sauce, Lupe's meatballs, house cheese blend, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, and fresh basil leaves. Nicely charred crust. All cheese is blended together and piped in rosettes on top of the pizza. Tastes so good and looks amazing. Walk in the front door and give your name for pickup. To the right are a couple upright cold cases filled with drinks, salad, etc. Located a short 15 minute drive from Shadyside. Can't wait to return and try more pizza.

    Honest review! 10/10…read more Let's start with the fact that I could smell this place down the street before I even got out of my car! My mouth was salivating before I even got inside! As a new Yorker, it's so very hard to impress me when it comes to Pizza! I'm the pickiest! A true pizza snob! But this place was well worth all the hype! Underrated if you ask me! All of the staff were very friendly, and helped me decide what to try. It definitely gives "family vibes" as soon as you walk in there. It's the definition of a hole in the wall, but I loved it. I live all the way in east Pittsburgh by plum and I drive ALLL the way over to Brookline, through the tunnels and under the bridges and over the bridges and under the tunnels again LOL. Its 100% worth the drive. No other pizza will do. Also the provolone Sticks are to die for. Literally, I almost died. So cheesy! Be warned its a mouth full haha.

We were told there would be a wait, but our pizza was ready right when they said it would be. The staff was also extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Parking was a little tricky because of the location, but it was definitely worth it! The standout feature of this pizza for me was the flavor of the cheese (especially when paired with onions) that combination was easily my favorite part. They use a very generous, thick layer of cheese, which creates a rich and indulgent pizza. The cheese is quite oily and can slide off the crust, so personally the amount of cheese and oil was a little heavier than my usual preference. However, the chewy crust holds up well to the toppings, and there was still something really addictive about the overall flavor and texture of that cheese. One thing that surprised me was how good it was the next day when eaten cold. I actually prefer this pizza cold. The cheese and onions complemented each other even more, and the pizza felt a little less oily while allowing the flavors to shine even more. Overall, this is definitely a top-tier pizza place in the area. If you enjoy a flavorful, cheesy pizza with a great chewy crust, I would absolutely recommend giving it a try!

It is fired in their brick oven with a crispy crust. He enjoyed it but it was a little over done and it was hard to distinguish the toppings as the char was heavy. I got the carbonara. It was definitely not traditional. The sauce was very thick and almost floury. They serve it with pork belly, which does not give the same punch of flavor to cut through the sauce as guanchali or bacon. The papardelle noodle were dry and clumpy. The dish was very heavy. Do not recommend. The place is chill. It is close to the theater. I might try it again if in the area.
