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.

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!

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!"

Price: $8.99 Rating: 5/5 When I first opened the box I was disappointed by the look of this sandwich however it was sneaky good. So many bursts of flavor and a nice punch. Ordered Cheesesteak Hoagie Premium Ribeye steak with American and provolone cheese, fried onions, lettuce, tomato and pickles. Price: $11.99 Rating: 3/5 They didn't put provolone and the tomatoes were not ripe at all still green. Ordered Italian Sandwich - Salami, ham, honey maple turkey, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, pickles, sweet peppers. olive oil, oregano, salt & pepper. Price: $13.97 Rating: 2/5 The salami was missing on the hoagie and was replaced with something that tasted like bologna. The roll was good and large portions. The one meat on the hoagie ruined it. Cheese fries Price: $5.30 Rating: 3/5 Very fresh however I don't care for crinkle cut fries. Overall rating 2.5 stars out of 5. Location use to be a Wawa and now a deli on steroids with ample parking. Service was excellent. The food was all freshly made, Delco Deli uses Liscio's roll and lunch meat is dietz and watson. Pricing I thought was high but possibly because I ordered on the slice app. I would try Delco Deli again as I believe I tried on a bad day compared to other reviews. #delcoeats #delco #delcofoodie #delcopa #visitdelco #visitdelcopa #pennsylvaniafoodie #pennsylvania #impossibletraveler #50before50 #50statesbyage50 #50countriesbyage50 #visitpennsylvania #pennsylvaniabeautiful #pennsylvania

(Owner told me that was alright) The owner John Sciarrino, used to own and operate Johnny's Pizza down the street. He's a nice Sicilian guy with deep family roots in the local pizza game. He was nice to chat with. The inside was kept clean, with limited window seating, he offers slices and has Coke products. They use a double deck Baker's Pride oven. On my first trip I ordered a Sicilian plain $14.95 - he had just finished making the shell so it was fresh. Overall, the sauce needed more flavor but the cheese and dough were good. It was a good average Sicilian pie that was gobbled up by my coworkers. Great price too. Second time I ordered a plain large cheese pizza $13.95 well done and a large mushroom (plus $3) pizza $13.95 well done. The mushrooms were plentiful and delicious, sauce was sweet and seasoned, cheese was ok, but for some reason the dough was chewy and bland. Both pies, same chewy crust. Unfortunately a miss. Maybe just a bad day. The menu is huge, probably too big, but I'm not the boss! I'll probably return to try other menu items if I'm in the area. Thanks John and best of luck!

I was here for a friend's party. The food served was Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, Meatballs, Buffalo…read moreChicken Wings, and Macaroni Salad. I liked it all. The egg rolls were not too greasy or skimpy on the steak. The meatballs were a good size and tasted like there was all meat and no filler. The chicken wings were fried perfectly so that they were not dried out and the sauce was not slathered all over them. The flavor was in the chicken and not dependent on the sauce. In addition to onions and green peppers, the macaroni had some surprising ingredients like carrots and broccoli. It was creamy because it has the right amount of mayonnaise. The drinks made by our bartender were excellent. My Old Fashioned was strong and well blended. My partner's Lemon Droo with Tequila and Pear Juice had a good balance of sweet and sour.
