Rachel S.

Ordered from here for the first time. Pick up on a weeknight. Ordered their deep dish pizza with meatballs. Ordered through Grub Hub and total came out to around $20, with a $10 credit from Grub Hub. What's Hot - Quality. Pretty good deep dish pizza! The crust is definitely deep dish and holds up well. What I also enjoyed is that although the crust is deep dish, it's not too thick/overly ready. No skimping on the toppings, which is a good thing, given the price of the pizza (especially when you add in the price per topping). The meatball topping was plentiful and delicious. There's a pretty good amount of cheese, as well. If I had to guess, probably 1/2 inch worth of cheese on the pizza. Pretty impressive! Additionally, they add the tomato sauce on top of the cheese, and not in between the cheese and the crust. Makes the pizza smell more flavorful and delicious, but adds to the messiness of eating the pizza. Not a bad thing, but just be aware. Haha... - Service/speed. Pizza was ready on time for pick up, but see additional comments below. I appreciate that the food was ready based on their original approximation. What's Not - Health and safety protocols. When hubby and I arrived to pick up our pizza, we didn't see any signs asking customers to wear masks. None of the 3 staff, that we saw, wore masks. However, the staff were talking to 2 other customers there. The customers wore masks, but not the staff. This is a very tense time, during the pandemic. I understand if the staff don't want to wear masks when there are no customers. However, when there are customers around and the staff don't wear masks, it makes me uncertain. - Location. It's not in an easy-to-find location. The location is pretty inconvenient to get to and the parking lot is very small. There are so many windy roads to get here. Can you tell I'm not a native Pittsburgher? Haha... Unfortunately, what that means is that you better be prepared for your pizza to jostle around during the drive. - They don't update the app. Because hubby and I ordered through Grub Hub, that means the restaurant needs to update the app as to the status of the order. Fortunately, hubby and I timed out our drive to the pizzeria, after placing our order. Thankfully, the pizza was ready when we arrived to pick it up. But the pizzeria didn't update the app to send us a notification. While it's not the worse thing in the world, one of the benefits of using food order apps, like Grub Hub, Uber Eats, Door Dash, whatever, is that the restaurant can provide updates as to when the order will be ready for pick up. When a restaurant does not actively work with the app, it can add to the inconvenience and uncertainty of ordering takeaway orders. - Didn't slice through the entire pizza. To be fair, it's a pretty deep dish pizza and this isn't the worse problem to have. However, because they didn't slice through to the bottom of the pizza, it was pretty difficult separating the slices from each other when hubby and I took each slice of pizza. Not slicing through to the bottom of the crust, also makes it messier. Additionally, all the slices were not the same size. I don't expect them to be perfect, but some slices were double the size of other smaller pieces. - Price. The deep dish pizza is only a cheese pizza and you have to pay for each additional topping, ranging anywhere between $3 to $4 per topping. Hubby and I didn't like that part, because each topping is fairly pricey. It would have been nice to have predetermined options of pizza (like veggie, pepperoni, meat lovers, etc...). To be fair, I'm not a fan of paying for each additional topping. That makes the balance go up very easily. Final Answer Willing to come back here again, mainly because there aren't many good deep dish pizza joints around.

Pizza was delish. I've prefer it with "light" sauce. This way we didn't all die of heart burn later.

Remnants ! Taco Pizza from Cardellos just ain't gonna last long in my presence .

Keefers K.

Well ok just an updated perspective : sometimes you just gotta ditch ONLY PIZZA . This place has excellent Gyros, pepperoni rolls with sauce ( like mini pizza)

Patrick B.

Much better than expected. Best pie I have had in years. I am eating this for the next two days . Best $16 spent in a long time. Delivery took 25 minutes - quoted 30. Granted was a 2:45 call - but so what Would recommend - especially if you are from Indy and don't know what a pizza is.

$10 for lunch right into the trash. Needless to say we won't be back.

Mike H.

This might be one of my worst lunch experiences yet. Chicken parmesan hoagie lunch special. Nothing was edible. Fries were completely saturated in what tasted like decade old oil. Chicken had the same gross old grease taste. My co worker and I both took two bites and pitched it in the trash. Should have followed my gut when we walked in and saw how unclean and dusty the kitchen was. Edit: 2 hours later I'm still burping up that grease taste and have one heck of an upset stomach.

This was soo good! The best pizza I've had in a long time. I ordered for pickup and the staff was quick and friendly! The Chicago is now my new favorite!

Am having a tough time with this review. The order I received had such potential.....only problem is, I didn't receive the order that I ordered. I ordered the sampler basket (which came and was good) and also the broccoli and cheese pizza which I have never had but was very intrigued by the description. Problem is, I still haven't had a broccoli and cheese pizza. A buffalo chicken pizza arrived with my order, looked great but was loaded with onion and I detest onions. So I did enjoy the sampler basket but called the place about my wrong order. The friendly girl that answered the phone explained that yes, wrong deliveries get made frequently but they would get the correct pizza out to me. But by then I would no longer need the pizza as the sampler basket had satisfied my hunger so I asked if she could refund just the pizza portion of the order. She said yes but I would need to speak with a manager to process. Friendly manager came on the phone, I explained my situation, he also said yes, frequent wrong deliveries are made (seems like something they should address) and he could get the right pizza out to me quickly or refund the pizza. I asked for the refund and he said no problem, he would process. Well......a couple of bank statements later and the refund never hit my account. Such potential here but unfortunately, Cardello fell short of expectations. read more

Placed an order at 12:00PM on a Sunday. It was a big order, 4 pizzas, 4 chicken wraps and 20 drinks. Delivery was spot on at 45 minutes. Most importantly the food was GREAT!! The buffalo chicken wrap was flavorful and had a nice kick. The meat lover pizza has lots of toppings, no shortage, you get what you pay for. Great work, can't wait to come back. read more

I pulled up to this little pizza shop with great doubts because it looks a bit rundown on the exterior. There are no seats inside, but a few outdoor benches in front of the shop. They also sell ice cream, drinks and prepackaged desserts inside. Very friendly service and they prepared my order in less than 15 minutes. I ordered my usual pizza filled with mushrooms and chicken, along with an order of fries and honey BBQ wings. The cashier was very accommodating to my picky demands. I wasn't very impressed by their wings, which were a bit over fried and scrawny. The honey BBQ sauce was pretty good though. Fries were crispy and not too greasy or salty (Wohoo!). The pizza was near perfection--good sauce, good amount of toppings and not greasy or soggy. The side of garlic sauce was such a perfect addition for the thick pizza crust. Overall, this little dinky pizza shop is my favorite so far in the Coraopolis/Moon area for its fast and efficient service and quality food. I would really like to try their specialty pizza next time I'm in the area! read more

I was at a Pittsburgh Airport hotel for four nights. I used the Yelp 24 food ordering application on my phone for three dinners. The menu is quite extensive but I stuck with pizza and salad -- pizza twice as a meal with side salad and one night a salad as a meal. The pizza was quite good (they include ranch dipping sauce for the crust); the salads just so-so. How often does one eat at the same place three straight nights? That speaks for the restaurant. The time from ordering to eating in my hotel room was 45 minutes. read more

I ordered online. Thought I ordered a calzone, guess I ordered a stromboli. Went to pick it up, said i ordered a calzone,they said you ordered a stromboli, I said okay. Owner threw receipt at me, said that's what you ordered. If I clicked wrong that's fine, he was just kinda rude to me. So, got home, husband wasn't too happy about it. So,he went over there, to speak to him about respect. Owner got in his face, about, what I ordered, again i was fine with the fact i hit the wrong line, it was the attitude, I just didn't want the wrong order. So, long story short. Husband almost got into fight over a calzone. Not worth your business. Too many pizza places in moon for that. read more

I had many issues last night with this place. For starters their website on the flyer at the hotel was wrong. Next they said it would be 40-50min for delivery it was 65. Next the food was warm at best not hot. And last they forgot my drink. The driver said he would go get it but I never saw him again. As for the food. It was OK. My guess is it would have been better hot. There is way to many things on the menu for a pizza place. Would I order from here again.....maybe but I would definitely not tip on the card when I ordered. The driver would actually have to earn the tip. read more

Worst customer treatment since new owner has taken over. My order was almost 2 hours late after I called twice. Owner told me he only had one driver who had car troubles. Pizza was cold and when I called back again to say that I shouldn't have to pay full price for 2 hours late, cold pizza, he hung up on me. We will never be ordering from Cardellos again and you shouldn't either unless you want to take a chance, since the new owner certainly doesn't care about quality or customer satisfaction. read more

This is a review on the restaurant's delivery and service. Called for delivery and the guy didn't even quote me an ETA. I just thought to myself that it couldn't have been a long time - it doesn't take that long to make a pizza at 1am in the morning on a Thursday night. 40 minutes passed by. I called the restaurant to check on ETA. Told the guy that I called an hour ago for delivery. I can't believe the guy who answered the phone told me that I called at 12:45 and it's now 1:20. It hasn't been an hour. How rude is that?! This was absolutely the most horrible service I've ever had! Never eating here again. read more

All of the staff were very friendly, and helped me decide what to try. It definitely gives "family vibes" as soon as you walk in there. It's the definition of a hole in the wall, but I loved it. I live all the way in east Pittsburgh by plum and I drive ALLL the way over to Brookline, through the tunnels and under the bridges and over the bridges and under the tunnels again LOL. Its 100% worth the drive. No other pizza will do. Also the provolone Sticks are to die for. Literally, I almost died. So cheesy! Be warned its a mouth full haha.

Their pizza has quite the following, especially with those that grew up on that side of the city…read more It's tasty but it's also greasy (see pic). Grease seeped through the box onto my table. The sauce is sweet and the cheese is a nice blend. Call in or walk in ordering. They do now take credit cards but charge a fee. Two slides of pepperoni is ~$10. There are a few tables if you want to eat in. Place gets super busy. Cell service is pretty non existent, this plays in if you want to tap and pay.

First of all this is take out only as there is no place to eat inside. I thought the pizza was very tasty. It was thin. A little floppy for my liking but the taste was fantastic. Crust had a nice crunch. Very New York-esque. I'd definitely go back here.

I tried a black cherry ale that was delicious. My husband got a Vienna lager he enjoyed. He got the black and gold pizza with potatoes, garlic sauce, pepper, res onion parmesan, and provolone. It is fired in their brick oven with a crispy crust. He enjoyed it but it was a little over done and it was hard to distinguish the toppings as the char was heavy. I got the carbonara. It was definitely not traditional. The sauce was very thick and almost floury. They serve it with pork belly, which does not give the same punch of flavor to cut through the sauce as guanchali or bacon. The papardelle noodle were dry and clumpy. The dish was very heavy. Do not recommend. The place is chill. It is close to the theater. I might try it again if in the area.

I'm giving a 1 because all the components were therebut the pizza was cooked and incorrectly…read more I've a customer here for quite some time. This shop will cook your pizza half cooked, as a lot of people like. We like ours well done cooked even longer than maybe the traditional cook time so we always request that. When my son went to pick up our pizza it was already sitting on the counter it had not been 15 since minutes since the order was placed. When he grabbed the box it was kinda wet on the bottom of box so we don't know if they set it on the counter on top of something ,but it was more than just extra sauce and onions that made the soggy like they assumed. We tried to recook it and when we took the pizza out of the box all the cardboard inside of the box was wet like something had been literally poured inside the box. I could barely get it out because it was so soggy it was falling apart. We live less than 5 minutes driving time so it was not from steam and cooking it more once we got home did not help it was that wet.. I have never seen pizza that soggy. I had my son call and they did not offer anything except advice on not to order onions or extra sauce when its humid out. We would have like a re-cooked pizza and to return the one we had especially since we had company. It was too wet to pick up a slice and inedible. So, if the owners see this maybe they'd like to somehow rectify it because now I have to start my grill to feed my company. Furthermore, if a customer orders extra sauce and onions on a pizza that.we are asking to be cooked well done an your only job is to cook pizza, you should advise the customer that it won't be crisp. We've ordered it that way before.. and as I said this was far beyond just soggy it was literally wet..and the 2 that ventured to eat it ,now have a stomach ache. It was most certainly undercooked and so wet it couldn't even be rebaked.

I absolutely adore the servers here, as they're always super happy to give me new recommendations on what to order! Their wings are the literally best wings I've ever had, and I especially love that you can get them smoked to get that charred flavor. My favorite flavors are the mango habanero and the spicy lime, but there are still so many flavors I'm excited to try. I also love ordering a side of seasoned fries and garlic bread to dip into the extra wing sauce!! Their fries and garlic bread are crispy to perfection; you genuinely won't find better anywhere else. I also tried the chicken bacon ranch pizza as per their recommendation, and it was soooo cheesy and yummy! Aside from the food being so delicious, my favorite part about coming here is the sense of community you get. They have couches and TVs where customers love to sit to enjoy their food, and it makes for a super cozy and comfortable environment. I also notice so many regulars who love this restaurant and come back either weekly or daily, and it really shows how great the store's bond is with their customers. This is probably my go-to spot to show people when they visit Pittsburgh because it really highlights the city in such a positive light. If I had to recommend one spot in Pittsburgh, it would be this one!!!!

Thankfully we didn't have to wait for a table for 3 (the folks in front of us in line most have had a bigger table and were given a wait time). I really enjoyed the vibe here as well as the food.

There was a friendly gal at the door taking names and numbers. I could hardly believe the wait time but decided to put down my name and do a little window shopping during the wait. We were eventually called and texted to let us know our table was ready. Our table was in the very back corner, next to a group of girls loudly talking about their drunken escapades the night before. It was entertaining to say the least. Our server was super friendly and accommodating to dietary restrictions/modifications. I ordered a Turkish Benedict on gluten free toast.... So. Good. Amazing flavors. My daughter got the croissant avocado toast which she loved. I also got a pistachio latte and was pleasantly surprised to see the used pistachio butter and not a syrup. It was lovely. I had to keep my child from drinking it all! While the wait was long, it was definitely worth it. The space is smaller than I imagined. The food came out fast for how packed it was. It's worth it!

Seated via Phone Call (Dinner option only). Food allergy: Nuts…read more Food & Drink: - Mixed Drink(s): 4 / 5 "If I was a cow, I would tell all the other cows that this flower is toxic, so that I could keep it to myself." - My favorite distraction Presentation is everything when it comes to the drinks ordered at Nicky's and I absolutely love it. Not only do they look great, they taste great. It's always great to find a location that takes pride in their mixed drink selection. The only flag I have is if you order the Honey Bee Martini be prepared to feel like a bee is stinging you every time you take a sip. I enjoy spice, but even this had enough kick to make me savor it periodically. Disclaimer: Taste the flower at your own risk. Remember the saying, "Curiosity killed the cat". - Food: 4 / 5 Appetizer - When you think American cuisine, what do you picture? A hamburger? Hot dogs? An American Flag on the back of a Ford F-150 with a bald eagle in the driver seat? Even though all those can be true, I think of Crab Rangoon. Even as a non-crab person, I do enjoy popping one of these bad boys into my mouth after dipping it in the provided sauce. Nicky's uses a homemade pineapple sauce that adds just a slight tang on this small delight. Entrée - Bread wasn't the greatest creation of mankind. Actually, it was spice because that allowed Thai food to flourish. It has always been of my opinion that if you know how to use spices, then you can make any dish pop. We had the Pad Phet and Basil. Both dishes were absolutely flavorful and made each bite as enjoyable as the last. If you get a box, make sure to get two and a paper bag for reinforcement because if you have sauce left, you are going to want to pour that over your leftovers. Dessert - The sticky rice mango is definitely an interesting dish, but it had something in it that tasted like half and half and ruined any flavor that the mangoes held. The ice cream saved that sweet taste, but the sticky rice that lay below reminded me of a Rice Krispie treat that you found in a corner of your kitchen that was there for months and a friend dared you to take a bite. Disclaimer: You cannot eat the banana leaf...don't ask how we know. - Service: 4.25 / 5 When dining with someone who has a food allergy, you always worry about cross-contamination. Luckily, at Nicky's, even without disclosure, we had no issues at the end of the night. However, as the restaurant gets busy, the service definitely becomes slower, but if you have a great companion you honestly don't notice it. Nicky's also does a great job of not rushing you out the door as soon as the dessert has been finished and it seems each server helps the other servers if it becomes really busy, which isn't a bad system. It's worth noting there are standard charges including a pre-calculated tip, which is fairly common for restaurants of this style. - Vibe: 5 / 5 Nicky's is the exact reason why I started doing food reviews. By that, I mean I wanted to find interesting restaurants where you could sit down with other people, have a great conversation, enjoy some good food and just relax in the unique ambiance. - Overall: 4.25 / 5 My momma always said, "Thai food is a great indicator for a vibe check" and for my own personal add-on, "Great Thai food is how memories are made". If you are ever on the fence about certain people in your life, take them to Nicky's. By the end of the meal, you'll know where they stand. Recommend? Why is this even a question? Of course!
