Greatest buffalo chicken calzone in the world! Get the large because you'll want more and more and more!

Their pizza is different from other pizza places around. Cheesy, generous amount of sauce and the dough is delicious. The sauce is a bit sweeter than your average pizza place. I love it. My boss always orders us pizza from petrones while at work and we all love it!!! read more

Best pizza in melrose - trust us - my wife and i did a taste test.

horrible chicken parm grinder. The chicken was so bad I decided to have bread, sauce and cheese as my meal

Petrone's has absolutely the best pizza anywhere in the Melrose area, hands down. And as Nancy B says, the Syrian bread is unbelievable; I think my wife only orders the salad every time to get the bread! The place is small - don't plan on going there to eat. Pick-up or delivery is the way to go. read more

This is the best sub and pizza shop in melrose and it has been my whole life. Anyone hating on it probably spends a ton of time writing reviews on Yelp. read more

I used to order from here all the time when I worked near by. The only thing I ever got was the buffalo chicken salad, which is by far one of the best take out salads I've ever had. the chicken is not breaded, which is great, but has the best buffalo sauce on it. the bread you get with the salads is so thick and delicious, it is like pita bread but different. thicker and addicting! read more

So after reading all the Yelp reviews about the Buffalo Chicken Calzone, I couldn't wait to try it. My expectations were set very high and this calzone didn't come close to living up to the hype. I don't really understand what people raved about. I have had much better buffalo chicken calzones in my lifetime. I personally think the buffalo chicken calzone at Melrose Pizza is better and I don't think they were that great. I guess the blue cheese at this place is good. read more

A Solid Pizza Place, Staff is great, Delivery is top notch. Food is Very Good. Prices Very reasonable........

Boneless buffalo calzone...best thing ever created. The fresh pita bread dunked in their Greek or Caesar dressing...is just...amazing...oh, now I want it. Great take-out! The owner is one of the nicest, friendliest guys. He will always talk to you and ask you how you are doing. read more

Very friendly, fast service, and good food. Only got a turkey sub, can't really go wrong there. Bread was fresh and soft. Would go again.

Very good dinners, salads, soups, sandwiches and calzones. I haven't had one thing I didn't like. I haven't tried their pizza though so can't comment on that. Staff is great too. read more

Everyone there is so nice. They always get our order right. I love the sauce there. We crave the pizza there. The calzones are to die for. Only place in Melrose we get pizza from. read more

I'm still getting used to non-Chicago pizza, and I try to avoid gluten and dairy... but when I just have to have pizza, this is the place! We've tried others in the area, but the pizza here is much better. The sauce has a nice flavor and the toppings are all very fresh (the amount is a little light, but not bad). Delivery has always been fast and the food arrives hot. read more

We've been testing out local pizza places to find a "go-to" spot, and I think Petrone's is the winner. First, the staff and owner are super friendly. Second the food has been good every time. Great place for a slice or a pizza, great sandwiches and homemade pita. Recommended. read more

I grew up getting Petrone's and nothing's changed. At least once a week I get a steak tip salad and my boyfriend gets a pizza.. We are never disappointed. If I'm really treating myself, the buffalo chicken calzone is an obvious choice!! read more

Best pizza in Melrose. Only place close that does boneless buffalo tenders the way I like them (not dry rub).

Great pizza, great subs, great service. Reminds me of the pizza places I used to go to on half-days when I was in junior high school-only thing missing is a Ms. Pacman machine. read more

Excellent calzone! I had the buffalo chicken and thats what they are known for. There pepperoni pizza is good too. Overall we find this super good! read more

Very good pizza and the calzone is excellent too. Meat pizza is perfect for that weekend reward meal.

I will give it 5 stars alone just for the steak-tip caesar on a fresh pita wrap- always excellent. The service is always great as well.

Our standard delivery option- great customer service, fresh and delicious food. Can't beat it!

No matter what you get here its always fresh and very delicious. I like to eat a variety of foods and everything ive gotten here has always been top notch. Their pizza and calzones are always to die for no matter what the combination of topping or filling you get (especially if your a buffalo chicken fanatic) . My favorite thing to get here is the chicken teriyaki sub it is mouth watering and very filling as the portions they give in subs is what somebody like me is looking for, nice and filling. The staff is super friendly and everytime i go in with my daughter they always give her one of their home made cookies and as a parent thats something that is really appreciated to see them want to make her smile. So if your looking to try something new or looking for a place to go to regularly like me and my family do, this is the place and it will keep you coming back! read more

Great sub shop great food. Buffalo is the best in town. Steak tips are fantastic as well. Not a fan of their pizza but it's a style thing and I appreciate why other people love it. read more

Consistency is just not there. You never know how much cheese you're going to get on the pizza and at this point, not sure if you will even get the toppings you order. read more

Best of the best. Love everything from the calzones to the subs to just grabbing a slice of cheese while driving through melrose. Favorites are tuna sub, steak and cheese calzone, and of course their famous buff chick calzone! Added bonus that this is also the friendliest pizza place in melrose. :) read more

Got a small cheese pizza. Good sauce, cheese and crust. Not so good service. They do make me wait . I was there yesterday and the girl said ten minutes took nearly half a hour sitting there waiting. Not the greatest service but the pizza is good. Owner is very nice, but apart from him seems overall the staff is kind of rude and dont care, which is sad because the the pizza is some of my favorite and I put up with it and stop here when I can, but it would be nice if they were a little more customer friendly. Everything I come here the service leaves me less and less enthused about returning. read more

Delicious steak and cheese sub with peppers on Piantedosi bread (baked in Malden)--in downtown Melrose, Massaschusetts. Need I say more?

I cannot say enough amazing things about Petrones. First things first, they are incredibly nice on the phone everytime I call. Second, delivery... lightning fast (30 minutes on the nose every time :)) Third, the food...oh the food. SO SO GOOD. Pizza is delicious - very light and airy dough, the sauce is super flavorful, and there is the perfect cheese/sauce ratio. Grilled veggie pocket - pretty much the greatest thign I've ever eaten in my life and HUGE. I've had both the Caesar and Greek salads - both were delicious and the dressings are some of the best I've ever had. This leads me to my favorite part - the PITA. I literally could live off of these. They are thick, dense and delicious. Also very good are the steak fries. Now, disclaimer, I'm a vegetarian, so I can't comment on any meat products, but I will say that the buffalo sauce is so delicious that I literally sop it up with my pita everytime the bf gets wings. This is a MUST try if you're in the area. My favorite place!!! read more

Buffalo chicken calzone. By far the best thing that I have had here. The chicken has a great flavor and the crust is thin and tasty. I have tried their buffalo chicken appetizer, sub, and salad, and for some reason none of them taste nearly as good as when they are in the calzone. I have tried their subs and wraps and was not overly impressed--not bad, just nothing special--but their homemade pita is very good. If you are looking for a sandwich, I would highly recommend getting it on this. Pizza is decent, but I prefer a thinner crust. Nothing compares to the buffalo chicken calzone, though--try it, you will not be disappointed. read more

Love everything I've ever gotten at Petrone's! The staff is super friendly and the food is great. My favorites are the buffalo chicken calzone- it's to dieeee for... and the margherita pizza is fantastic too :) 5 stars for sure. read more

Ive had this pizza several times now but the first time I called, I ordered a pizza with broccoli on it. when I got the pizza there was about 5 peices of broccoli on the whole pizza- I called back and explained the situation, the manager offered to send out a new pizza for free, but I didnt want to wait (I was pregnant and hungry), so instead he gave me $10 credit on my account. I thought that was extremely generous of a pizza place. Great pizza and fast!! best place in melrose. read more

Terrific pizza. Lovely sauce with a lot of fresh basil in it. Also like the greek salad with wonderful chewy homemade pita bread. moving from Melrose and this will be one thing we'll come back for. Thanks for many great pies Petrones! read more

Calzone we ordered was small as hell , When the delivery guy came I put a good tip down for him on the credit card and I dont think he noticed because he gave me a look like I was the biggest asshole and the world and said .... WHEREs my tip... After that I will never order here again read more

Fair pizza. Sauce is too sweet. Crust is good. Cheese is average. Portion is fine. Subs are fine.

Grew up on petrones...best food stop in Melrose for over a decade. Amazing italian subs, steak and cheese subs, buffalo chicken calzone, chicken parm calzone, buffalo chicken pizza, pizza in general, steak dinners, steak tip salads, french fries, you name it, they make it the best. They even gave my fiance and I a free cookie tonight just because they are great people and treat their loyal customers right. If you are hungry in Melrose, I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Eat at Petrones at least once a week! The greek salad with chicken and dressing is best in town, highly recommend! The guys are friendly and really learn your orders after a couple trips in! read more

I love the food at Petrone's. It's the only place I order delivery from, but that's bound to change. Food doesn't make the entire restaurant experience--customer service matters, too. I've had good experiences when I go in the restaurant, but time after time, I bite my tongue as the person taking my order over the phone gives me attitude about my order, or rushes me off the phone as I'm trying to inform him/her that I am paying with a card. I just ordered and the gentlemen blew his breath at me and said "come on, this is the reason you were on hold so long. Everyone pays with cards!" Newsflash, it's 2015 where most people pay for many things with a card, Apple Pay or Paypal. Although the food is good, the rudeness it not okay. I'm kind, don't give attitude and tip well. If the business can't be reflected with people with better attitudes, I don't want to support you anymore. Of course, I'm just one person...but it's all I feel like I can do, aside from rating you. Petrone's of Melrose, you deserve 5 stars for the food. Customer service is the reason you get a 3 instead. read more

This is my favorite pizza place in Melrose. I very highly recommend the buffalo chicken calzone. I always order it with extra blue cheese, because one little container isn't enough. read more

This used to be my go to for pizza and salads but the past few orders were not good. The garden salad was very watery and it lacked flavour even with the dressing. The pizza was very thick and heavy - it sat like a cannon in my stomach all night. The customer service needs improvement too. read more
