Passalinqua's Pizzeria GOOD: cheese and toppings are…read moreflavorful, fair prices if you avoid premium pies BAD: wet noodle crust and store logistics - line back ups, no paper receipts offered I wanted to like PP as most of the reviews were glowing. The toppings and cheese were flavorful (can't go wrong with a greasy meat meat combo). The price is reasonable on a per size and per topping basis. Unfortunately, a good stiff crust is nearly half of quality pizza. The middle-bottom portion sags immediately and you need two steady hands to catch the toppings. Aside from the crust, there is one register and operator, so on a busy take out night, one chatty customer phone call handcuffs the entire takeout operation. They need two registers to alleviate the take out pressure in case of a phone order (or write the phone order and allow someone else to process take out orders). Finally, I was forced to take a email or text receipt. Basic business operation should consist of offering a paper receipt. Older folks, buying for someone else, expensing meals all work better with paper receipts. I only hope their printer was broken. If your local, give them a try, but it's probably not worth a long drive East.

And they were like that when I picked them up, not from my drive home. Service was short since I pick up, the girl was nice enough, didn't seem to care.

Pizza is solid. Have had the Italian Wedding and the Eric B. Italian Wedding truly tastes like…read morewedding soup- meatballs are great, and the sauce has a garlic butter broth-like flavor. The Eric B. had a good mixture of toppings- I particularly enjoy the cup and char pep. They also have a nice shaker full of garlic and oregano for their pies. Antipasto salad is solid as well. The only complaint would be that the center of the crust does have a lot of flop. Not quite as much structural integrity as I'd enjoy throughout the full crust, but nonetheless, the outside edge has a nice crisp chew. Overall - very solid, will continue to order when the craving is there.

Colony Pizza GOOD: Meat pizza toppings were flavorful…read moreBAD: Crust and value for price (too high for quantity) Staff is friendly. Colony pizza has a diverse menu that I would give another try. Locals seem to love this place, but I found the pizza very average. The toppings were very good - greasy meats, can't go wrong. I like a nice crispy crust that can support the toppings. Their crust is very soft and chewy. Every slice needs a steady two hands as the crust falls like a limp noodle with any weight. It may sound picky to some, but a good crust really goes a long way and a good, crispy crust that holds toppings well makes for the tasty mix of texture. Also 19 bucks is steep for a 12 inch pie, even with some meats.

I was very pleased with Valerio's. After several Italian places fell flat since visiting, Valerio's was a win. It's a warm, family place with hearty food and great service. I can't wait to go back and try a calzone or pizza.

In response to Milen D's recent review of Firestones(which I witnessed)…read more I honestly can't decide what's more embarrassing: your experience at the restaurant or the fact that you thought this review was worth posting. You apparently walked in expecting the entire establishment to revolve around your very specific demands, got disappointed, called someone a "clown," accused them of lying, and then produced this barely decipherable masterpiece of nonsense. The staff didn't fail you--you failed to understand where you were, what they offered, and apparently how restaurants work. And judging by the grammar and coherence of this review, I'm not sure you were in any condition to be evaluating anyone else's performance. Being unhappy with a meal is one thing. Throwing a tantrum because a restaurant didn't conform to whatever bizarre expectations you had in your head is another. Do everyone a favor next time: stay home, lower your expectations, and let the adults enjoy their dinner without having to witness another episode of The World's Most Confused Customer. The restaurant got one bad review. You got permanently immortalized as the person who wrote it. I'd say one of those is considerably harder to recover from.

Firestone's Kitchen…read more This was the BEST pizza I've had in Erie as a traveller looking to settle here. I've tried 3 others, mostly very flat on crust or flavor (all independent places). Firestone's pizza has an excellent char, solid sauce and flavorful toppings. The restaurant also has a beer/wine store, and a eye pleasing meat counter/butcher. I have no complaints - friendly service, fair priced pizza for excellent quality, and the liquor section has some charm to the decor. ***From the road, look for Gordon's (even though Firestone Kitchen is the eatery). Gordon's is more prominent from the road.

The appetizer we ordered was the Fresh Tomato Pepperonata... this was a 10/10... it was amazing and gr8 way to start the meal! Perfect way to get in your vegetables. Was a little disappointed that the server picked it up without asking us... since almost half the plate was still left. We also ordered the "Sicilian" with Chicken Pizzette. This was also a 10/10! Our favorite of the night. The artichoke, Spinach, and tomato combo created blast of flavor in your mouth. The Carbonara was a 3/10. The server mentioned it would be more creamy and saucy and we were ok with that. For us it was WAAAY to salty. Not sure what happened there. Could have been the prosciutto as mentioned by the chef, but unsure. They were gracious enough to take it off the bill. We'll be back for sure. If you're in the Erie area and craving Italian food, definitely worth checking it out especially if you're near Peach street.

It's located in Millcreek Mall & you can enter from mall parking lot or from inside mall itself. Our server was friendly & efficient with nice recommendations. I loved my pasta carbonara & our guest loved her spaghetti & meatballs (two HUGE meatballs). They have a nice happy hour & I had a French martini mixed well. We loved the zucchini blossom appetizer. The large wedge salad was good. And the garlic knot bread with shaved Parmesan is a nice touch, we got an extra basket. My husband & other male guest had the linguini & clams and were not as pleased. One said it was just ok, broth weak & unflavorful and the other guest gave it a 3/10 saying clams were overcooked & chewy. Desserts were good, we had pistachio gelato and strawberry shortcake. We would return & try again if in the area.

I blew in my car and I never paid for the food. Number one if they would've contacted me I probably wasn't even thinking about the food. They're lucky I called them to let them know that my motor blue. But to ban somebody for something as stupid as that. I actually knew that I wasn't allowed to order. They didn't tell me I was banned. She just wouldn't accept the orders from my phone so I would use my grandson's phone or use my house phone, but of course I'm in my car so I decided to place the order without thinking about it. It's actually most times when I order I just go pick it up and her son's usually there or somebody else is behind the counter, but I have been ordering for Mamma Mia's since they were on peach Street 25 years ago. And I will order from them again they're Stromboli's aren't as good as they used to be when the other people owned it but they're OK. Guess I'll be going to Stevo's.
