(I wrote this in a private Facebook group first) So, as most…read moreof you know, I was going to review the old Amadeos pizzeria, which is now Pocono Pines pizzeria and restaurant. Well, here's my experience. (Aside from this experience, I did go once before just for a slice; wasn't that amused with the staff, but the pizza was decent.) Me: Hello, can I place an order for pickup? Clerk: Sure, what would you like? Me: I'd like a large half pepperoni and cheese, and a large vodka sauce pizza. Clerk: Okay, that will be $43. It will be ready in 20 minutes. Me: Okay, see you soon. I walk into the restaurant. Me: Hello, I ordered the 2 pies. Clerk: Okay, that will be $43. Are you paying with cash or card? Me: Card. Clerk: Okay, here is your receipt. The pizza will be right out. Me: (stands around for another 10 minutes) Clerk: Here's your pizza. Have a good day. Me: Thank you. As I walk away with the pizza, I'm thinking to myself that they are very heavy. I walk to the car and open them up, and what was supposed to be the vodka sauce pizza was a white vodka sauce with fried chicken and penne pasta. So, I head back in to get this fixed. Me: Hello, this isn't what I ordered. There's chicken and penne on this pizza; I just wanted a vodka sauce pizza. Clerk: Okay, sorry about that. I'll see what they can do about this. Me: Thank you so much. Now, here's where it gets interesting. Clerk: Do you want them to just pick the chicken and pasta off the pizza? Me: Um, no. That would completely butcher the pizza ‍. Clerk: Okay, um, do you want a new pizza? Me: No, it's okay. I'll just take a refund. Clerk: Okay, let me talk to the manager. Manger says he can't give you a refund. Me: yes he has to or I will be calling my bank and making this a fraudulent charge. Clerk:I'll be right back Manager: I CAN'T GIVE YOU A REFUND. THAT'S $24 THAT I HAVE TO GIVE YOU. EVERYONE IS MAKING $24, AND NOW I HAVE TO GIVE YOU MONEY. HOW DID YOU PLACE THE ORDER, PHONE OR ONLINE? Me: Over the phone, and yes, you owe me $24 because that is not what I ordered, and I'm not walking away with the pizza. I want a refund. Manager: (huffs, yells at the clerk, and tells her that she put the order in wrong) Tells her to refund me. Clerk: Here is your refund. Would you like a receipt? Me: Oh yes, indeed. I come home with just the one half pepperoni and cheese. It's a thicker pizza than the slice I had one month prior. The bread was doughy, and the cheese was meh. There was a little bit of good flavor in the sauce though. Curious to know what kind of ingredients they are using since they can't afford to give me a refund and questioning the freshness of those ingredients. It's safe to say, I don't need to go back there and I'll keep my business with AJs.

Everyone loved the NY-style pie with an ideal crust, sauce, and cheese ratio. We ordered two large pies over the phone for take away for two adults and four kids. The phone representative was courteous and efficient taking and processing my phone order. Pies were ready by the time promised and were still piping hot by the time I returned to the hotel room. Only two slices were left over by the end of dinner. We did not try any other items on the menu. This restaurant is a great alternative to the more expensive resort pizza if you don't mind leaving the campus for a local bite.

Our party of 12 (six adults and six teenagers) dined at Jubilee on steak night. We expected a wait,…read moreand 45 minutes for a group our size seemed reasonable. Once seated, we were greeted promptly with water and our server took our initial drink, appetizer, and dinner orders without issue. The appetizers arrived in a reasonable amount of time, but after that, the service began to decline. We had to ask twice just to order a second round of drinks. When the entrees arrived, everyone at the table received their meal except me. The server asked if everyone had their food, and I told her that I was still waiting for my Steak Frites special. She checked her order book, said something, and walked away. Unfortunately, no one returned to update us. After waiting another 10 minutes, I encouraged the rest of my family and friends to begin eating so their meals wouldn't get cold. When there was still no update, I flagged down another server, who said they would check with the kitchen. A few minutes later, they returned and said they weren't sure what had happened but that my meal was being prepared. After another 10 minutes passed, I asked to speak with a manager. I was told there wasn't a manager available and that they understood my frustration. By this point, it was nearly 9:30 p.m., my entire table had nearly finished eating, and I still hadn't received my dinner. When my steak finally arrived, it wasn't what I had ordered. I had ordered the NY Strip Steak Frites special but instead received a 10-ounce sirloin. Again, the explanation was simply that they weren't sure what had happened--perhaps another guest had received my order or there had been a mistake in the kitchen. To the restaurant's credit, they removed my steak from the bill. However, what disappointed me most wasn't the mistake itself--it was the lack of communication and customer service. Throughout the entire situation, no one came back to provide updates, apologize directly, or offer a meaningful resolution. In fact, my server never spoke to me directly about the issue after realizing there had been a problem; I learned my meal had been removed from the bill through another member of our party. Mistakes happen in every restaurant, especially on a busy night. What leaves a lasting impression is how those mistakes are handled. Unfortunately, while the food we did receive was good, the customer service fell well short of what I expected.

I called Brother Bruno's Pizza when we got in line at Walmart to check out and ordered two large plain pies. I was told 10 minutes and I said that I needed more time (I've never had such a slow cashier before (who then just left before the person in front of me was to begin)) so he said 15 minutes. We definitely got there late (it's less than five minutes away from the Walmart in a strip mall center) and the pizzas were ready. $18 each. The place is almost like any regular pizza place with a few booths. They also have Italian favorite dishes among other choices. There was no one in the place after 8pm when we picked up our pizzas. The smell of the pizzas was great on the way back to our rental. When we got home, it was dive right in. Great thinner crust with good cheese and sauce. Very enjoyable. Can't say anything bad about Brother Bruno's Pizza. It appeared clean, the food tasted good (we only had the pizza), and they were fast although they were not busy with other customers. I think you'll also like BBP.

I stopped in December of 2021 so as you can see, it's been quite some time since then and I need to get back up there and do a re-visit. The guy behind the counter was pretty much a typical pizza place employee...not what I'd call "friendly", not unfriendly...just adequate. Maybe 6-8 tables inside but mostly geared towards takeout. So a slice and a soda was over $6, so that was a bit concerning out of the gate, but I don't just based on stuff like that solely. I enjoyed the slice. There was a nice char underneath which I love, good snap to the crust, it was nice and thin, good cheese to sauce ratio. Not much else I can really say about it other than I'm due to head back in. If you're just looking for a slice though, Brother Bruno's - DIdn't Suck!
