    Cheesesteak, Cooper Sharp, Corropolese Hard Seeded Rolls
    Nevin P.

    We went on a cheesesteak tour to 3 different spots in Philly! Lets review La Nova Pizza and Steak! Pros: Massive! Tons of meat Cooper sharp, hard seeded rolls Great prices The staff was kind and welcoming. Made sure we were taken care of. It is fun watching the employees make the pizzas and cheesesteaks. Cons: Street parking, not great No seating available For me personally, slightly too much cheese in this cheesesteak Decor was very limited both inside and outside the establishment.

    Cheesesteak with green peppers and onions.

    They give you good portions. Very filling. We ordered cheesesteak with fried onions, green peppers and xtra cheese. My only complaint is that they don't cut the green peppers in smaller pieces. When ordering on DoorDash they also don't take special requests. We like are fries with salt and ketchup you can't request that on DoorDash.

    Amazing! I told my husband I wanted to try this spot which we pass all the time. It's an unassuming store front. I called our orders in and was told about 30-35 minutes and I could hear it was busy. I arrived early and was just sitting in the car, the lady called me to tell me my food was ready. There was a small line when I walked in, some people ordering some people waiting, I'm glad I ordered ahead. I got my two steaks and went home. This cheesesteak is hefty, the meat was falling out. The cheese was mixed in and that roll was perfect. I turned to my husband after eating and say that was a great cheesesteak maybe one of the best I've had and he agreed and said "give them a good review" so here we are. It's a messy cheesesteak but who cares it's delicious.

    Waste of money unhappy tonight who ever was cooking don't do good at all pizza was also missing the basil

    Came back to one of my favorite places to pick up food tonight to take a break from cooking spent 82.00 I regret it the order was horrible tonight. Ordered cheesesteak pizza it was ok but the cheese on top was burnt but edible. The plain pizza wasn't edible the whole thing was burnt as you can see in the pictures attached. The chicken fingers were dried out and not edible my son bit into them the taste like there was something wrong with them taste like biting into powder. We ordered cheese fries also asked to cook them well done with salt no salt was on them and the fries weren't cooked longer. Not happy tonight It feels like I should've cooked at home and saved my money. Whoever is cooking tonight not a good job tonight

    Had it last weekend Some how three steaks were done 10 minutes before a small pizza. So by the time we ate the steaks in the truck across the street they were soggy as hell. Could also have been the constant hosing down with water the cook was squirting on them to add moisture. Definitely over rated for philly's steak game but good pizza taste and crust.

    Cheesesteak- cooper sharp , fried onions and hot cherry peppers- so damn good !
    Tyler U.

    Been wanting to try this place for a few months. Stopped in quick on my way back home after going to the Italian market in south philly. I had the almighty Angelo's but this one might beat them out. Bit of a ride for me about 2hrs south but totally worth it. This place has gone viral and I can definitely see why. They got some good music crankin inside , it's a tiny place , mainly for take out , it's not a place you can sit inside. Very fast paced, friendly staff. The cheesesteaks rock! I got 1 to try - fresh seeded roll , cooper sharp , fried onions and you need to add the hot cherry peppers. It's a fully loaded cheesesteak! I split half with my wife and had to go back inside to get 2 more to take back home. We will definitely be back again!

    Different Cheesesteak #1237. Spoiler alert: I liked it! BUT, it's hard to see in the picture, but this cheesesteak had a lot of cheese on it. I tasted cheese for the next day and a half. It came on a very good roll. But the roll had a lot of bread. In my humble opinion, it needed to be scooped. - Sidebar - bread pudding people - I love me some bread pudding. - They use a nice thicker slice of meat. But I couldn't taste it through the cheese. Good-looking onions. But I didn't get much flavor from them. AND I still liked it! You know I love $13.95!

    Spicy pepperoni pizza and cheesesteak.
    Vincent P.

    Service was quick and easy at the restaurant. I ordered the spicy pepperoni pizza and a cheesesteak with fried onions. If you enjoy a nice kick of spice in your food, this pizza is for you. The pizza was cooked well and the dough had a great crunch to it. But for the cheesesteak, I feel it lacked a little bit in flavor. They definitely hook you up with a hefty amount of meat though so I was not upset for the price I paid for it. Nice soft roll too. Also this steak was chopped a little too much for my liking. Just my opinion though. I will be returning to try more in the future.

    New spot in the burg LaNova. $13 bucks for the steak $6 bucks for the fries, lots, loaded, and fair price! Fast counter service. Very clean ambience it is take out / delivery only no seating. First time I've seen banana peppers mixed in. Love it. Of course Cooper Sharp cheese. The steak was absolutely delicious! The fries and the steak seasoned to perfection! It hit the spot on this cold, damp dreary, Saturday evening. Here is a fun fact, they used to have Asteroids deluxe and a Mario Brothers arcade game in this place by the window when I was growing up as a kid, many owners ago, I use to stop in there and play them almost daily spending my paper route quarters!

    Small spot, however they were rocking and rolling in there everyone had smiles and focused which means your food is  with love !

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.

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.
