We have family members that live in Cranberry Twp and we have been eating at all the restaurants in that area for about 20 years, Monte Cello's is probably one of the ones that we have the most experience with. Anytime we want Italian we head to Monte Cello's. Our most recent visit was on Friday. We usually split a pizza, my wife loves their Stromboli. If you go remember that there is usually a wait because it's so popular. Monte Cello's is very large but always feels crowded but that's the curse of popularity. Great food and cold beer what more can you ask, enjoy. read more

Monte Cello's used to be a family go-to for us. Good food and good service. Unfortunately, that's no longer. We went this weekend to see a reduced single-page menu, with no prices. No prices means they can change the prices at will and not tell you. We got two orders of wings and a hoagie, the hoagie came out 20 minutes after the wings. Skip it. read more

Great pizza restaurant in Cranberry. We have visited here for many years, whenever we are in Pgh. They have awesome pizza and really tasty hogies! The customer service is excellent and the place has a true, east coast pizza establishment vibe! Definitely recommended! read more

I stopped in here for a family dinner tonight and we enjoyed our meal. We had 6 in our party. We walked in to a busy restaurant but were seated swiftly. They have a variety of Italian dishes, wide selection of pizzas (deep dish, Sicilian, pan, regular), strombolis and calzones (both of which are huge. I'm most impressed that they had a no dough calzone to accommodate low carb, or keto guests. The food was delicious. It's been one of my favorites in the area since I was a kid. read more

We are longtime customers who will never return to this location!! Worst restaurant ever!! Other locations are excellent. Burned pizza - crust, pepperoni was hard and cheese had black spots all over. College age kid was rude and nasty and wore one ear phone to listen to music while he "waited" on you. They can't keep help and you cannot order pasta because they are so short handed. read more

Hands down best restaurant for satisfying take out. Their take out salads are big and delicious! Their pizza is AMAZING! Stuffed hot peppers and pastas are good too. Def a favorite in Cranberry! read more

The pizza is always good! The girls at the counter are very personable and nice. Taco Tuesday has been replaced with a pizza party read more

Robin Sloppy I eat at Monte Cello's often. They have so many amazing foods it's hard to chose. I had the Fettuccine with meat sauce salad & garlic bread, the proportions are large, the food is always great, & hot. The waitresses are friendly, the prices are very reasonable. The resterant is always clean. I also recommend the fried zucchini with pasta. I didn't know till now they have delivery as well as a place in Baden which is closer. read more

Why are any reviews bad here???? Insanity, do not listen! Just moved here from Chicago and this place rocks. Great poppers, pizza is great and the pepperoni rolls wow (not from here...but from an outsiders opinion the BEST I've had here!). Incredibly friendly service, plus the balloon guy/gal is such a great add for families. So affordable, good pizza and apps and a place the kids like....can't beat it! read more

Wings and pizza were good, no complaints there. Our server was attentive and very welcoming. A couple of the buffalo chicken rolls I ordered were not cooked all the way, leaving me with a cheese pull equivalent of raw dough. read more

The food is delicious and the server was very nice and accommodating. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because we were made to wait for a table because all of our party of 5 wasn't there yet. We wanted to have a drink and appetizer while we waited- the restaurant wasn't busy at all but the bar was full so we had to sit in the hallway . I would have understood if it was busy but we came early and there were only a few people in the restaurant. I work in the restaurant industry and we never make our guests wait in the hallway!! read more

Amazing owners, great food. Always efficient and a fun family atmosphere! Especially on nights they have a magician go from table to table doing card, tricks and making balloon animals for the kids. read more

Monte Cellos restaurant cranberry twn pa The staff at this restaurant are very disrespectful and rude. We really made a mistake going to this restaurant to eat. After eating at this restaurant last Saturday, I realized I had forgotten my credit card there, which I used to pay, so I just called the restaurant. I told them I had forgotten my credit card there, and this disrespectful, rude woman told me I didn't have a credit card here and hung up on me. This restaurant doesn't employ qualified personnel. read more

Decent food and good service. I'm partial to the Monte Cellos on Babcock (different owner), but this was almost as good.. service was good. Ambiance was "meh." read more

We went there on a family reunion trip to Pittsburgh because this place had always been a favorite of our family. The calzones and Stromboli that we ordered were amazing, just like they have always been for years! Loaded with cheese, meats and deliciousness. And the service was quick and friendly even though the restaurant was extremely busy. I highly recommend Monte Cello's! read more

Still a really good restaurant with friendly service and delicious food. The wedding soup hasn't changed. It's one of my favorites in the area. They got rid of my favorite meal on the menu (manicotti), but they have shells stuffed with cheese, which is very similar. Going there with someone in a walker is a bit difficult and I can't imagine dealing with a wheelchair there. There are stairs on one side of the entrance and a curb on the other. If they have a ramp anywhere, I've never seen it. read more

First time here and this place is amazing. A little overwhelming with the large menu and being so busy but they got us right in on a Friday night. The pizza, stuffed banana peppers and fried zucchini were all great. Not much of an ambiance and The hustle and bustle was a bit much but we will be back. read more

I agree with the current average of 3.5 stars. Monte Cello's is a local chain restaurant that serves mostly Italian foods. I had previously rated the location in Ross Township as 5 stars, so I felt excited to try this location in Cranberry Township. Upon my entering the restaurant, I saw a few employees standing near the door. The seating hostess walked my husband and me back to a booth. My seat had crumbs on it from a previous customer, and my husband and I both commented that our seats felt hard rather than comfortable. Our waitress soon arrived and gave us menus to look at. I felt disappointed that the menu for this location did not list some foods from the menu for Ross. For example, this menu did not have entrees such as shrimp scampi or sides such as breadsticks. The menu listed several entrees, but it included mostly simple pizzas, wings, salads, hoagies, calzones, strombolis, sandwiches, and pastas. Our waitress waited to put in our order for our entrees, so we waited a little while for those foods to come out. Later, we asked her for drink refills, and she brought them out. I rate our appetizer combo platter of fried zucchini, cauliflower, mushrooms, provolone sticks, onion rings, and jalapeno poppers as 3.5 stars. I rate my entree of stuffed shells as 4 stars. I rate my husband's chicken parmesan as 4 stars. Our total bill was $50 plus a tip. read more

Usually pretty good just isn't as consistent as I would hope but the staff is friendly and you will always have a good time there.

Not open on Sundays anymore. Would be nice if when you call you get a message that they are not open on Sundays anymore... no you get message they are busy helping others... tried to order online and all it said was not taking online orders. finally drove there to see a hand written sign closed on Sundays as of August. Very bad communication read more

good food great service and excellent music i said ooooooooooooo i was blinded by the lights is a example

This place has always gotten 4 or 5 from me and my family. Tonight was disappointing. I'm very sick with the flu and was looking forward to their wedding soup as my only meal of the day. It was mostly broth and not a single piece of meat in either of the 2 bowls I ordered. It's $5.95. Also, the girls at the pickup counter are more concerned with gossiping with each other than handling customers appropriately. read more

Monte Cello's - $5.95 Bowl of wedding soup, just opened the container. Unfortunately, no bites were taken yet, it was just broth to begin with. - Pizza Near Me - Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania

For what it is Monte Cello's is a solid 4. We had a large group of people for lunch. If you have more than 20, you must do a buffet. The cost was reasonable per person, $20 including soft drinks and taxes. Tip was extra. I am not a big lunch eater but not only could I take home my leftovers, but we could all take home anything left. And everyone was leaving with leftovers. Different size boxes provided. Service was friendly and attentive. I liked the salad which showed a little bit of extras, like finely sliced red onion. To have options for vegetarians, the first selection was penne with marinara. Meatballs were separate and were a nice size, like mom used to make. Green beans were canned but tasty. Sometimes you just want a good, doctored up canned green bean. Two types of chicken, stuffed and parmesan. The parmesan had a $#%load of melted cheese. I like that. As a matter of fact when we were leaving, I scooped up the rest of the melted cheese to take home. I have a lot of leftovers. This place is a little off the beaten path for me and that route 19 traffic is a killer, but I would return. One negative, not under the restaurants control, handicapped access to the restaurant is not the best. As with so many things in Pittsburgh, it is nestled in a hill. From one side there are a few steps to get to the restaurant. On the other side, down the hill away from the parking, it is better but there is still a big step making accessibility hard for many people. Frankly I am surprised the shopping center doesn't have a cut out. I looked for one and didn't see it. I hate to see people struggle. The restaurant itself is handicapped accessible. All in all, a solid 4. read more

Be aware that if you order chicken Parmesan off the catering menu, what you will get is very tiny bits of a couple pieces of chicken Parm chopped up over the pasta. As I was expecting regular serving size pieces of meat, my meal was thrown off for Christmas and extremely disappointing. Customer service did absolutely nothing for me. Very misleading when you read the catering menu. The noodles were soggy. Not a good option for catering. read more

The one bartender is loud and rude and voices his personal opinions and business out when he's working. So unprofessional. I don't understand why he can't contain himself. Hes so full of himself and sooo annoying. I won't be coming back here to be honest. Great food, good service, terrible vibe. It just makes people feel uncomfortable. read more

Came here for lunch and got a personal pizza and salad at an affordable price. The food tasted great, the server was very nice, and it was an old school bar/restaurant feel. Would definitely come back! read more

Called in an order a couple Fridays ago to order a large pepperoni pizza. I'm so glad we did since when we arrived there was a line out the door and it was about a 45 minute wait if we have driven up instead. Even with the 15 minute drive home the pizza was still nice and hot. The crust was chewy and semi-thick, and the pizza had a fair amount of pepperoni and lots of cheese. It was a little too cheesy for me, but the flavors all worked together and the pizza sauce had a nice sweet flavor as well. read more

By far the best pizza! My wife snd I like the Chicago style. Thick with tomato chunks. Very tasty crust! And my personal favorite is the stuffed banana peppers! Monte Cello sauce is unmatched. It is so good! We sit in the bar section which has a very large bar and booths. Lots of TVs with sports on all the time! And the service is ALWAYS great! This is my wife and my favorite local restaurant. Can't go wrong with Monte Cellos! read more

The Chicago deep dish pizza is the best around. The crust is always cooked perfectly and the delish toppings of roasted tomatoes and extra cheese melt in your mouth!!! This is a weekly dinner at my house!! read more

Monte Cellos is pretty popular on a Friday night. We ordered a pepperoni pizza for take out and we are glad we did because it would have been a long wait. Signs said they were short staffed, but there seemed to be a lot of employees milling around and people being served quickly from what I could tell. Our pizza was ready 30 minutes after calling it in. We were so hungry we ate it in the way home. The crust was thick and chewy, sauce was great, and very cheesy. If I'm being honest, it was a little too cheesy for my liking, and I like cheese. It wasn't my favorite pizza ever but it definitely wasn't bad. There is much more on the menu to be explored but we have been making it a quest to try all the pepperoni pizzas around to find our favorite one. Haha! read more

I have been getting regular pizzas and calzones here for 20 years. Tonight I decided to be adventurous and ordered a Sicilian and a Chicago deep dish pizza. OMG, I truly could NOT believe how terrible BOTH were. The Chicago deep dish was 0% like any deep dish I have ever gotten. It was kind of like a pan pizza but totally dried out crust with ZERO flavor. There was no sauce on it, just chunks of tomatoes. Could not even taste the pepperoni at all. I was just so confused how it could be so bad. The Sicilian too had no sauce on it and zero flavor. I should have just gotten a $10 C0stc0 pizza saved myself $40 and it would have tasted better. read more

We've frequented Monte Cellos on and off since 1994. It was a family tradition for Fridays ; Monte cellos and movies back when you rented them. Then it became a great place to meet the kids while they were out with friends. Nowadays it's a good place for a date night with the wife. We sit at the bar, great service, great atmosphere and the food is always great. We definitely recommend Monte Cellos to anyone. read more

Knocking down to a 3 after trying the lasagna. Gross. The soup is okay but the bread is the weight and consistency of a hockey puck.

We had a variety of pizzas catered for a work lunch. The veggie pizza is delicious. Slightly charred broccoli, spinach, olives, mushrooms...yum. Crust isn't overly chewy. The sauce to cheese ratio is great. Salad comes with two different dressings - ranch and a vinaigrette. Pretty standard fare: iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, olives, shredded carrots, tomatoes, and croutons. I've heard the pasta is pretty good, so probably would give that a try next time. read more

Ordered Delivery. We ordered buffalo chicken salad without fries and onion but they didn't remove, annoying but still good. The spinach rolls were good but they didn't include the side of sauce. The stuffed banana peppers were good but very small. They should include more than two if the peppers are that small. Food good but they need to pay more attention to the details. We usually order pizza or pepperoni rolls and always good. read more

Used Monte Cellos for Christmas party catering this year. The food received rave reviews, they showed up on time, and their packaging kept everything piping hot. The delivery guy was courteous and quick. On the price side the value was definitely there. I would recommend and use again! Great job! read more

Fast service! And everything we ordered was great! My daughter got a cheeseburger (they let you choose your cheese) and provolone sticks, I ordered a steak calzone with bacon and garlic boneless wings, my dad ordered the meatball sub and pizza rolls, his fiancé ordered a side salad with their house dressing and pepperoni rolls. Everyone loved their food! Prices are fair and they made everything quick for us. Everything was cooked perfect too. Portion size is perfect. read more
