I came in excited to experience this venue's Phish stream on Weds 7/15/26, but what I encountered…read morewas a masterclass in how not to run a bar. The moment we arrived, we were greeted by a bartender whose hostility was immediate and inescapable. His disdain for customers was so palpable that nearly every patron at the bar was openly discussing it, people were literally afraid to order drinks from him. He met every request with eye rolling contempt, as if our very presence was an imposition. Later in the night, when I ordered a drink from a different spot at the bar, he barked at me for doing so. Apparently that wasn't "how things worked here." Never mind that the bar was nearly empty and obviously unassigned seating. The pettiness was staggering. That was my breaking point. I called him out for his abusive treatment of paying customers.. Instead of addressing the obvious problem, a manager approached me with a threat: "We know how he is, but if you don't relax, you're gonna have to leave." Let that sink in. Rather than deal with a employee with an apparent pattern of hostility, they chose to intimidate a customer for voicing a legitimate complaint. Multiple patrons actually thanked me afterward, they'd endured the same treatment all night but lacked the nerve to speak up. I documented the experience on their Instagram. They deleted it immediately. This isn't a bad night...it's a culture problem. Paulie Gees has chosen protection over accountability, and their customers are the ones paying the price. I won't be back, and I'd urge others to take their business elsewhere.

The dish was delicious. I enjoyed my plate of sea-inspired tonnarelli nero. Bay scallops in crab ragu with fennel sofrito. Served with squid ink pasta that imparted a slight brininess. The pasta was cooked pangrattato style-- coated in panko bread crumbs and garlic. The dish had many flavors but they all came back to the theme. Cocktail prices and entree prices were very reasonable. They offer happy hour drinks and specials. Certainly a very good choice if you're in the area.

I personally would order this as my meal if I could. room temp, oily, good crunch to soft ratio. Judion Beans: good beans. they are on a similar wavelength as butter beans. honestly I get them for the table for the extra bowl of oil at the bottom to dip the crusts in. Creamy Oregano Salad: very interesting. small shaves of mushroom and fennel. very slight bitter taste. oddly addictive. the olives were my favorite part. i'd consider these friendly olives to those suspicious of olives. and the olives are cut in halves, so easy to pick out. so are the mushrooms. easy split for a table of four. beyond that i'd get two. *ADD ON* pickled chilies: very good. I suggest adding this to the pie. they are green, spicy, delicious, absolutely lovely. Corn Pizza: all together very delicious. my favorite part are the cherry tomatoes on top, which I would really like to be an add on option to other pies. they are the perfect flavor and size. i'm not particularly a tomato fan, especially whole. these are a rare exception. Classic Pizza?: solid, no notes. good as always. My only wish is that they offered a sauce to dip my crust in. they have very good crust, perfect ration of crispy and fluffy. just needs a sauce. Overall, great service, the manager greeted us to check on our meal, our server was attentive, the vibe is great inside.

Our server was friendly and food came out hot and fast! Apps: Maitake Burrata and the Lettuce Shaved Veg salad - The salad was decent, but nothing to write home about. Would skip. I loved the burrata! Super creamy and well complemented by the umami flavor of the mushrooms. Mains: Pizza Arrabbiata and Roasted Peppers Pizzas - Both were delicious! If you liked spicy, you'll love the arrabbiata. The cream and cherry pepper vinaigrette on the red pepper pizza was so perfectly savory with a hint of acidity. If you have to go with one, I vote for the red pepper pizza.

We got the gnarlic knots which were decently tasting, but since it was to go, we didn't check it before it left. They didn't put on the parm-romano cheese and they didn't include the garlic dipping sauce. It just seemed like the running around not knowing who was going what led to oversight. There are tables to dine in, but it's not too much to expect not to inspect food to go to make sure it's as ordered. It seems like this location was just disorganized and the quality of the food suffered.

Fortunately, I got booked on a flight out the next morning and found a hotel in the city. Other than running to a drug store, my only other time leaving my hotel was to grab dinner at Pizzeria Vetri across the street. I enjoyed the food, the service, and the ambiance. I was immediately seated upon arriving to Pizzeria Vetri. I was asked if I wanted to sit at the bar, at a table, or at the pizza counter. I chose the pizza counter so that I could watch staff making pizzas. As I was there on my own, the serving staff continued to stop by and check on me. The menu includes neopolitan pizzas (12" feeding 1-2 people) and metro pizzas (28" feeding 3-4 people). They make pizzas, calzones, antipasti, and salads. I chose a Neapolitan-style pepperoni pizza consisting of pepperoni, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fresh oregano. It was quite filling and absolutely delicious! They also sell pizza kits so that you can make your own pizza at home. Pizzeria Vetri was created to celebrate the art of authentic pizza making. They aimed to create simple food made exactly the right way using the best and freshest ingredients served in a space where all are welcome. You can visit the Pizzeria Vetri website (https://www.pizzeriavetri.com) to order online, see menus, details about all four locations as well as to learn about classes, hosting events, and catering options. You can sign up for PV Perks at https://www.pizzeriavetri.com/pv-perks. You earn 25 points for signing up and one point for every dollar spent. You receive a $5 discount for every 50 points redeemed.

The undercarriage wasn't great, and the crust was very thin, so there wasn't much dough to enjoy. I may be a little biased because I prefer a thicker pizza.

That's what made me decide to try their pizza. The Chicken Parm comes with a pickled salad that was so good I still think about it. I gave the restaurant an extra star for the Chicken Parm, even though the pizza was my least favorite.

Mega's pizza is bland and boring. Its sauce has canned tomatoes that taste like a can. The cheese…read moreis nearly flavorless and more like vegetable oil. The crust is dry. The toppings were cheap and generic. The whole mess is overly salty. Mega's cheesesteaks have low-end, imported beef that must chopped into thousands of pieces in order to be made chewable due to the huge amount of gristle present. The fries are dry, hard, and taste like burnt cardboard. Cleanliness is lacking as proven by numerous disgusting violations cited in a recent health inspection report (click the attached screenshot). The staff is polite and relatively fast. Prices are a bit on the high side for the actual amount of food received. One positive is the relative freshness of the food. The neighborhood is relatively safe. The restaurant is old and decaying. The parking lot is small. There are several superior pizzerias within driving (or even walking) distance. Two stars is probably one star too many but I added a star for the hardworking staff.

With the ongoing pandemic we try and eat out 1-2x a week to support local businesses, even when money is tight. To be honest I literally live 2 blocks from the Woodhaven store. I specifically drive to the Cottman store because their food is usually better. I know their not affiliated with each other and to me the sauce is different. In a good way. My first issue was the wait time. I know it was busy, I know your probably short staffed but, waiting in the rain for 25 minutes after my quoted time was no fun. I ordered before I left, hopped on i95 (20 min ride). Arrived and waited, and waited, and waited. Normally I wouldn't mind. But as soon as she handed me the pizza. Ice cold! I didn't say anything because i was outside in the rain and the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed as it was. Opened the bag and took a bite of the mozzarella sticks while driving home, ice cold and not fully cooked. The fries also cold. The wings were the only food that were hot. Such a bummer! We spent $55 and got cold food which is a huge let down and frankly wasn't worth the drive. I understand things happen but please Keep the pizza and other food warm while waiting. There is nothing worse then having to reheat a pizza when you just got it. All the apps went in the trash.

Super delicious pizza, very similar to that at the legendary Charlie's (formerly on Roosevelt Boulevard but now at 9910 Frankford Avenue). Their original owners were cousins. A thousand times more delicious than at the chains and even most mom and pop shops. And much cheaper! Great recipes with tons of flavor. Always add extra cheese for the very best taste (wow, is it creamy and dreamy!). Experiment with other toppings to determine your favorite combination. We prefer the sausage, steak, extra cheese, and of course pepperoni, all of which are fresh and top notch. The dough is made fresh daily. As at almost all other pizzerias, the tomato sauce and mushrooms are canned. Yet, they still taste good at Vince's because they are cooked properly (to a very high temperature). But it is the overall (superior) flavor that matters. You should definitely buy the large because it costs but a dollar more than the small. You can refrigerate the leftovers, which still taste fresh if reheated within a few days. The service can be slow, rude, cranky, and occasionally mistake-prone. There is no delivery. And the restaurant is open for merely six hours every day (from 4 to 10 PM). But Vince's is definitely worth the wait and trouble.
