Small round pepperoni and sausage pizza.
Bill W.

I order delivery this time and I haven't been in the restaurant in several years. If you're in the neighborhood and looking for a good pizza or pasta I would definitely recommend it. As for delivery I'd take a pass. My pizza was cold, tough and not worth $20.

About 1/2 lb of pasta and half of a boneless chicken breast. Sauce is good and so was the garlic bread.

If your looking for good pizza and stromboli's this is a good spot. That being said, I could not recommend the platters. I ordered chicken parm with rigatoni. The small portion of chicken was shameful for the price. The pasta was SO overcooked I could not eat it. The place reminds you of a spot in a side street down the shore. The wait staff, kids, we're very friendly. One weird thing? They have 2 big tvs and we were stuck watching The Simpsons. No little ones in sight, as a matter of fact, it was 3 tables of seniors. Lol but look its a local place for pizza and stromboli that's it. My chick parm was 20 bucks.There is a legit restaurant down the street if your looking for a sit down meal. Otherwise? Grab your pies from Romanos.

Classic spot we never pass by when we're in the area. Consistently delicious, friendly staff, great menu. The decor is dated but it's part of the old school charm. They have street parking but it's always been easy to find a spot. While they're known for their upside down pizza, they have many options - square, round, cheese on top, etc. Whatever we've tried has always been great.

Eye'd this place up on a recent trip down Chester Pike and decided to stop in for lunch. The…read morepeople running the place were super nice and were very friendly to this first timer. The guy who took my order wasn't afraid to give me his recommendations so I went with a cheesesteak. I asked for hot peppers and he asked me if I wanted them to be cooked in or put on after. I really appreciate simple questions like that, their kindness got them a fourth star. The sandwich was made very quickly, and was tasty. A couple cons: the hot pepper stems mixed in and quite a bit of grease. The peppery kick was a perfect mix with the steak and cheese. The roll was an Amoroso and it was fresh and good. Meat wise it was chopped up and although it wasn't overflowing with meat, I felt the portion was just fine. I'm pretty sure it was $7.95 which wasn't a bad price. I will return if I'm in the area to try other offerings.

don't know what happened to this place, but Saturday night was an absolute disaster…read more $33 for a cheesesteak and an Italian hoagie is already pushing it... But I figured it might be worth it. Not even close. Both sandwiches were straight-up terrible. Soggy, sloppy, and barely any meat or toppings. The hoagie was loaded with so much oregano that it completely ruined it. For that price, these things should be packed and done right--like a real Leo's Steak Shop hoagie--not whatever this was. It was so bad that my partner and I threw out about 3/4 of both sandwiches. That alone should tell you everything. Then, to top it off, I ended up sick later that night and into the next day, running back and forth to the bathroom. So yeah... $33 to barely eat your food and then feel sick? That's wild. I honestly feel robbed. I had high hopes because I remember this place being good back in the day--but that's clearly not the case anymore. I won't be back, and I'll definitely be telling people to save their money.

From the moment you walk in, you can see how much effort was put into the design. Grass ceiling,…read morefront counter looks like a storefront, very welcoming. I placed my order, got my silverware and table number and sat down to wait for them to bring it out, very efficient way to do things. When my food arrived, an omelet with mushrooms, onions, sweet Italian sausage, and cheddar cheese, my eyes grew wide. Before digging in I popped a stray mushroom that was sitting on top of omelette before taking the photo. Immediately noticed the amount of flavor of the mushroom alone, it prompted me to ask if they were marinated, the chef/owner came out after I was done and said she takes baby bella mushrooms, cuts them up and sautees them in salt pepper garlic, "no cans here' she said and you can tell. Upon digging into the omelette I found it to be loaded with the ingredients I had chosen, even distribution, I mean just look at that cross section! The potatoes were seasoned well and delightfully crispy. Prices were more than fair for the quality. They definitely care, they definitely put out excellent food, and I think they'll definitely succeed, even with being in a tough spot parking wise...I'm local to Norwood but I'll gladly pay the meter every time if it means I get to enjoy more of the Good Vibes Only!

Here's a spruced-up version that still sounds natural:…read more "This place is absolutely amazing! The food is even better than the atmosphere. The staff is always friendly, and it's quickly become my new go-to spot for breakfast. The inside is warm, welcoming, and beautifully decorated. I also love seeing the birds when they're around--it adds such a nice touch to the experience!"
