Vegetarian Stuffed Pizza
Tiara B.

Great customer service. Decent food and large indoor dining to accommodate families. l

How our entrees with salads were delivered
Kelli M.

My mom lives in Virginia and came for a visit and of course she had to have Montessini's. We ordered a whole plain which I didn't take any pics of them another half pepperoni and half with peppers, onions and mushrooms which I love. This is our favorite pizza.

It has been a while since I have been here because I moved out of the neighborhood, but whenever I get the chance to come by and grab a slice of the cheesesteak pizza-- I do!. The best thing about this place is the cheesesteak pizza slices, they taste exactly how they used to when I was a kid and I am never disappointed. The neighborhood had changed a lot, but this restaurant is one of the few that still exist which to me is impressive. The displays are still the same and the decor is as well, so, over the span of the past 15+ years this restaurant remains the same, whether that be a bad thing or a good thing, I don't know. On this visit, I came in with my mom and sister for lunch since we were already in the area visiting an old friend. We were seated quickly and ordered right away. The waitress was just okay, well she forgot to put out place settings and utensils for us and was too busy talking to the other staff and texting on her phone to notice we haven't ordered drinks yet and she kept disappearing. Once the food came, I was a little happier cause I was satisfied with what I ordered, but the service was crappy. Getting a refill was near impossible, and she had this attitude as if we were bothering her. I hate that type of service, like why work there if you can't be courteous to your patrons. The next time I go in, I will order to take out, because the last few times i went in the service was terrible.

Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure

This turned out to be the weekend of Northeast Philly. After a long day Montesini Pizza was the cheesesteak to me. When did Montesini get the Montesini special cheesesteak. It comes with mushrooms, pepper, fried onions and sauce. The sauce is ladled on top. There were a lot of peppers in a cheesesteak. They gave it a lot of flavor but also gave it a lot of juice. We would have had a roll blowout but I ate the cheese steak from the bottom. This Cheesesteak had a lot of flavor, a nice nicely toasted roll but was a touch small.

The thinnest cheeseburger in the world on a stale roll
Lorence C.

This place has really lost its touch, they cant even get a simple cheeseburger done. (See pics for the world's thinnest Cheeseburger, on a stale roll) The table we sat at was filthy, my Daughter actually had to clean it herself. The fries were dry and cold. I had a bad meal once or twice here mixed in with some Fabulous visits, but I hear by throw in the towel with this place now. The pizza is still pretty decent, however decent pizza is a dime a dozen. Save your money on this once, pretty good restaurant.

Bad tomato

We have loved their pizza for years but tonight we decided to try their pasta and we were very disappointed. We ordered the chicken Alfredo and Chicken Marsala. The chicken Marsala didn't even look like chicken Marsala. There was no Marsala wine in it. The alfredo sauce was very watery and bland. The chicken was bland, no season and didn't even look grilled. The salad smelled funny and we come to find a spoiled tomato and browning lettuce. The only thing that was half way decent was the mozz sticks. This was definitely not a good delivery or dinner experience with them. I think from now on well just stick with pizza, the only reason I gave a 2 out of 5 was for that.

When someone gives me a recommendation for chicken parm I usually listen. But this one was in Mayfair and in some run-down shopping center so my skepticism was certainly on high alert. I was in the mood for some chicken parm so I decided to get takeout cause I certainly wasn't eating in there. For 12 bucks they certainly give you a very large portion it included soup or salad I chose the soup and I got escarole. It also came with a garlic bread stick and spaghetti. I also for science sake grabbed a slice of pizza to test out. The pizza slice was pretty solid actually. I was surprised. It looked like it was sitting there for a bit so I didn't think it was going to reheat well but it did. Good taste, nice crust. Now onto the meal. I don't like spaghetti but I tasted it anyway. I guess it's okay this is from someone who doesn't like spaghetti. The garlic stick didn't have quite enough garlic flavor to it, but it was soft and I took a bite that was enough. My soup was good, it needed a little bit more seasoning but it was still homemade and decent. The chicken parm was very surprisingly tasty. Wasn't quite crisp enough for my tastes but it was a nice large tender piece. The sauce was very good, plenty of cheese coverage. Would have preferred a little bit more crispness to it. Would I go back here again, probably not. Such a dumpy shopping center which turns me off quite a bit and it's not near me at all. But I want to say I was very surprised that the chicken parm was pretty good and if I lived around here I would be here regularly.

Stoped by Montesinis for a quick lunch the other day while in the area. I haven't been here in quite some time, well over 15 years. The place is still the same! Literally! Nothing has changed. I ordered 2 slices and soda, came to $7.00, not bad. Their pizza is still as good as I remembered. I went with a plain and buffalo chicken. The plain was spot on, crispy and cheesy. The sauce to cheese ratio was perfect. The buffalo chicken was a tad too dry and the crust was overly hard. Still a good slice overall though. I won't wait as long to stop back in.

Storefront

I haven't been to this place for years because I no longer live in the area. As a child, this place was a staple pizza place for my family and friends. We would walk over and I would spend my weekly allowance on a slice of stuffed pizza. When I had the stuffed pizza it was as good as I remembered. It's basically a combo of a cheesesteak and a pizza and it's glorious! It has nice hard crispy crust and is loaded with ooey gooey cheese and chopped steak. One slice is enough to fill you up. If you'd rather have the classic cheese pizza you can order a combo. For $5.50 you can get two slices and a medium soda. I hope I am in the area again soon so I can stop by.

This is what it's all about...  their stuffed pizza is Amazing.

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. Overall, great service, the manager greeted us to check on our meal, our server was attentive, the vibe is great inside.

Our server was friendly and food came out hot and fast! Apps: Maitake Burrata and the Lettuce Shaved Veg salad - The salad was decent, but nothing to write home about. Would skip. 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.

We got the gnarlic knots which were decently tasting, but since it was to go, we didn't check it before it left. They didn't put on the parm-romano cheese and they didn't include the garlic dipping sauce. It just seemed like the running around not knowing who was going what led to oversight. There are tables to dine in, but it's not too much to expect not to inspect food to go to make sure it's as ordered. It seems like this location was just disorganized and the quality of the food suffered.

Fortunately, I got booked on a flight out the next morning and found a hotel in the city. Other than running to a drug store, my only other time leaving my hotel was to grab dinner at Pizzeria Vetri across the street. I enjoyed the food, the service, and the ambiance. I was immediately seated upon arriving to Pizzeria Vetri. I was asked if I wanted to sit at the bar, at a table, or at the pizza counter. 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.
