They weren't busy at all, it actually seemed they had no business which made me feel bad. I didn't know what I wanted and was hungry so I just got chicken fingers and fries. Can't go wrong with fried food. The food was decent, but had a slightly weird flavor, like almost freezer burn, even the fresh cut fries. There also appeared to be spices on the fries but I didn't taste anything special. The chicken fingers were thin as a crepe. The people working were very kind! The place looked clean too.

After moving back we saw that Large Plain had taken over the business - apparently several years ago. We gave them a try the other day, and their name pretty much describes the pie. Big and boring would also work. There is nothing specifically bad about the pizza, there just isn't anything special about it. Even with toppings to spruce it up, it feels like any number of chain pizza joints. If you are close, in a hurry, and nothing else is open, this place is okay. There are much better choices in the area. That said, it's cozy inside, and very clean if you plan to eat-in. I will also add that I still need to try their Sicilian pizza since I'm having a hard time finding a really good one in the area.

I had the chicken romano and subbed the mashed potatoes for pasta which was great, and the gnocchi florentine was also quite good. Everything was tasty and the portion sizes were reasonable. They also have a decent drink menu too!

After being in the area at Avonworth High School for a football game in the fall, we decided to…read morestop at Pizza Pronto for a late dinner before we headed home. We came here on recommendation and suggestion from my parents, who had heard good things about the Pierogi Pizza. Pizza Pronto & Gyro House is located in Avalon on California Avenue. They serve a variety of pizzas, salads, gyros, starters, calzones, hoagies, wings, and more. The restaurant has dine in as well as takeout. They are open from 10:00 AM until 9:00 PM during the week, and on Fridays and Saturdays they are open later until 11:00 PM. With so many pizza places having earlier closing times in the last few years, it is appreciated that this one has extended hours a few nights a week. The store is situated on a quiet street, tucked back in a sort of residential area. There are other different shops surrounding it on either side. The signage is very clean and prominent, so you will not miss it driving by. As for parking, there is no dedicated private lot. There is street parking on both sides of the road that the store sits on. We had no issue getting a spot, likely due to the time of day we visited. However, I could see if you came during peak times it might be a little harder to find a spot, or you may have to walk a tad bit to get to the storefront. For seating, there are both indoor and outdoor options. There are benches and a few patio tables with umbrellas on the sidewalk in front of the building. Inside, there are several four-top tables that can be pushed together for larger groups. When we arrived around 9:30 PM on a Friday this past September, there were a few others dining in. However, it was not at all crowded. It is open seating, so we found a table of our liking for our group of four. It appears that at one time there was table service, but there was signage up saying they no longer offered this. Since there is no table service, you place your order at the counter, which is right at the entrance. They have menu boards hanging behind the counter, or alternatively there are paper menu pamphlets. After taking some time to browse our options, we ordered a few starters and a pizza for the group to share. To start, we ordered Spinach and Feta Pronto Rolls and the 6-Count of Stuffed Grape Leaves with Lemon Wedge. Both of these were very good! I personally liked the rolls the best, as they were a good snacking size to have a few before the main meal. The Grape Leaves were also very good. My fiancé is a big fan of these, and will order them whenever they are on the menu. He had high praise for these ones! For our pizza, we all shared the Large Pierogi Pizza. This is a gourmet pie that has a potato and onion mixture, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and provolone cheese. It also came with sour cream on the side. It was cooked perfectly, and the overall flavor of the pie was great. The pieces are very filling, and I personally could only eat one. It was a 8-cut pie, and we had leftovers to take home, even with four of us eating it. I enjoyed having the option of sour cream to complement the essence of pierogi. The food came out relatively quickly. We ordered some of the items at different times, due to different arrivals of the group. Each item was ready within 15 minutes of placing the order. We were satisfied with the service in this regard. We were happy also with the service from the staff here. They were all friendly and helpful throughout our entire visit. In terms of value, I believe this place is a good one. For a pizza and two starters, we spent around $50 before tax for four people to eat (including drinks). The pizza we got specifically is a little more expensive, but it is a speciality pie. However, four adults being able to eat with food leftover for around $50 is a good deal to me. I think you will get your money's worth when dining here. Being from the South Hills, I never found myself up this way to eat at this pizza shop. However, I was very satisfied with the food, ambiance, service, and overall experience of this visit. I would recommend stopping at Pizza Pronto if you find yourself in this part of the city. They have an extensive menu, options for dine-in and takeout, and extended hours on the weekends. When I return, I am interested in trying more of their extensive menu, such as the Gyros or the Hoagies!

So this place is a long-term local favorite... You could totally tell. And not quite sure if people…read morehave become loyal because of location or because of the specials such as prime rib and really great hearty meals... But I can tell you your breakfast was very traditional. Nothing super exotic or trendy. I'm a Southern girl so I was looking forward to getting country fried steak, gravy and eggs... They're country fried steak is a special that's named after the owner or one of its friends or something... And all it is is steak and gravy... Kind of interesting for a breakfast dish. No eggs. And was one of the most expensive meals so adding eggs would have really put it over the top for breakfast. So I elected to go with a variation of hash browns that I'm accustomed to getting the south from waffle House... Scattered, diced which means tomatoes, and covered which means slice of cheese. Although they restrict the ability to buy beer and wine in grocery stores in Pennsylvania, there is no restriction on when you can get a alcoholic beverage like there is in the south... Bloody Mary with breakfast at 9:00 a.m.. there was a long line to wait for a table so my friend who's the local went to the other entrance for the package store and saw there was ample room at the bar so that's where we went. We split an omelette and got some bacon on the side. The bacon was clearly oven baked and extremely crispy and is barely flavorful. The waitress was nice and attentive at the bar. And she had the southern charm of calling us honey and sweetie even though she was younger than us. My friend says she used to come by there often when her kids were younger or for their weekly specials. It's a large restaurant so plenty of tables in the traditional space. And I guess because of not having extra weight stuff they didn't encourage sitting in the bar... We sat at the bar so had the direct attention of the bartender. You can see from the menu there's lots of options for food which is probably why it's such a popular place.

Circling the small parking lot looking for your spot, reminiscing on the alumni sports team photos on the walls, and doing the twist in the entryway to navigate your way to your takeout, Gateway Grill is not much... but the food is usually fire!!! The pizza slices have big bubbling crusts with pepperoni so rustic cut that you will wonder if they accidentally gave you the whole piece... over and over again. Don't sleep on their meatball pizza. Because you will have basically full size meatballs for every slice... and they are delightful. We had family in and bought a large order - and we opted to try their sandwiches. The Chuck Roast sandwich and Turkey Rachel both sounded delicious... and Gateway Grill does have fresh smoked meats too! Takeout is a trip. In a full restaurant, you have to kinda stand in the way at the front counter and flag down someone to grab your order. But they definitely do a lot of to-go pizzas so you'll be able to handle it. Unfortunately, with their current to-go containers, the sandwiches ended up being sopping wet with condensation... the bottom toasted bread on both was basically dripping instead of crunchy. The fries had lost all texture too- air fryer to the rescue. I'd still recommend going - just stick to only pizza when ordering takeout until they find a way to ensure quality of other options.
