My sister and my niece suggested this place since I have never been here. My sister wanted chicken parm and says it one of the best! She wasn't disappointed, once again. My niece had the chicken cheese steak and enjoyed it, as well. I chose the eggplant Florentine - it was delicious! I also liked the spaghetti with meat sauce. Our waitress was wonderful - so friendly, welcoming and helpful. The gentlemen at the entrance/counter/grill were all welcoming, as well - with a nice welcome when we came in and a have a good day when we finished. Located in the Mayfair Shopping Center - a nice casual place with dine-in and carry-out for your convenience. In the area, Check Them Out! read more

17 SEP 2025, I ordered the WED special, spaghetti with shrimp. The sauce/gravy was overheated, and very pasty. The pasta was obviously a left over. No pasta was over 2 inches in length and could not be twirled on my fork. This week I had the special, Ravioli and sauce/gravy. The Ravioli was so over cooked/microwaved that the Raviolis looked like a 1 layer lasagne. Again, the sauce/gravy was overheated/cooked that it was a paste. read more

I was embarrassed by what they offered for a cheesesteak. Hardly any meat, grocery store quality roll. They left off the toppings I asked for. The fries were undercooked and the chicken fingers were frozen food isle quality. Don't waste your time or money. Plenty of good places out there, just have to find them. Unfortunately I did not at Montesano read more

Awesome . This is a neighborhood staple. I am never disappointed. The food is good, flavorful. The service is good. No complaints here!

Not gonna lie.. this pizza is definitely Mid.. it's OK for when you're intoxicated but sober I HIGHLY do not recommend this place. They put a dozen pepperoni on the god dang pizza ! Not enough seasoning or flavor ... The pizza is also super oily/ Greasy like you ordered a side of baby oil... Be very aware to whomever has HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE! Please eat somewhere else!

It has been a while since I have been here because I moved out of the neighborhood, but whenever I get the chance to come by and grab a slice of the cheesesteak pizza-- I do!. The best thing about this place is the cheesesteak pizza slices, they taste exactly how they used to when I was a kid and I am never disappointed. The neighborhood had changed a lot, but this restaurant is one of the few that still exist which to me is impressive. The displays are still the same and the decor is as well, so, over the span of the past 15+ years this restaurant remains the same, whether that be a bad thing or a good thing, I don't know. On this visit, I came in with my mom and sister for lunch since we were already in the area visiting an old friend. We were seated quickly and ordered right away. The waitress was just okay, well she forgot to put out place settings and utensils for us and was too busy talking to the other staff and texting on her phone to notice we haven't ordered drinks yet and she kept disappearing. Once the food came, I was a little happier cause I was satisfied with what I ordered, but the service was crappy. Getting a refill was near impossible, and she had this attitude as if we were bothering her. I hate that type of service, like why work there if you can't be courteous to your patrons. The next time I go in, I will order to take out, because the last few times i went in the service was terrible. read more

This turned out to be the weekend of Northeast Philly. After a long day Montesini Pizza was the cheesesteak to me. When did Montesini get the Montesini special cheesesteak. It comes with mushrooms, pepper, fried onions and sauce. The sauce is ladled on top. There were a lot of peppers in a cheesesteak. They gave it a lot of flavor but also gave it a lot of juice. We would have had a roll blowout but I ate the cheese steak from the bottom. This Cheesesteak had a lot of flavor, a nice nicely toasted roll but was a touch small. read more

Not what it used to be. Soup was so salty, we couldn't eat it. Cheese steaks were bland at best.

This place has really lost its touch, they cant even get a simple cheeseburger done. (See pics for the world's thinnest Cheeseburger, on a stale roll) The table we sat at was filthy, my Daughter actually had to clean it herself. The fries were dry and cold. I had a bad meal once or twice here mixed in with some Fabulous visits, but I hear by throw in the towel with this place now. The pizza is still pretty decent, however decent pizza is a dime a dozen. Save your money on this once, pretty good restaurant. read more

Montesini Pizza - The thinnest cheeseburger in the world on a stale roll - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Pizza was great if you like enough grease to drop but not be drenched with, honestly aren't many great pizza spots in my area this easily tops most options read more

We have loved their pizza for years but tonight we decided to try their pasta and we were very disappointed. We ordered the chicken Alfredo and Chicken Marsala. The chicken Marsala didn't even look like chicken Marsala. There was no Marsala wine in it. The alfredo sauce was very watery and bland. The chicken was bland, no season and didn't even look grilled. The salad smelled funny and we come to find a spoiled tomato and browning lettuce. The only thing that was half way decent was the mozz sticks. This was definitely not a good delivery or dinner experience with them. I think from now on well just stick with pizza, the only reason I gave a 2 out of 5 was for that. read more

Montesini Pizza - Bad tomato - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Hands down best pizza around, EVER!! We usually order every Wednesday & Friday.. as a matter of fact, I'm trying to patiently wait for them to open right now to get more pizza & boneless buffalo chicken for lunch for my son. He refused to go up his dad's so he can have lunch from there before we go. Just had it last night. Much better to eat in tho. Sometimes delivery isn't hot. I'm sure it's because their so busy. Pizza is best coming straight from their oven. read more

This pizza shop is a little out of the way for me but I was coming back from New Jersey going to North East Philly so it was directly on the way that then. I ordered a sicilian pie in and it's steak sandwich. The steak sandwich was good but not spectacular but the Sicilian pie was really great it cost a little bit more on the average price for Sicilian prizes usually 14 $15 this one was $18 for a plain cheese, but it's probably weighs twice as much as the last one I bought and I asked him to make it well done and they did it perfectly. I'll be coming back read more

Stopped in had a couple slices and they were real good ..crew is very friendly and clean looking so is dining areas . Big menu reasonable prices .

When someone gives me a recommendation for chicken parm I usually listen. But this one was in Mayfair and in some run-down shopping center so my skepticism was certainly on high alert. I was in the mood for some chicken parm so I decided to get takeout cause I certainly wasn't eating in there. For 12 bucks they certainly give you a very large portion it included soup or salad I chose the soup and I got escarole. It also came with a garlic bread stick and spaghetti. I also for science sake grabbed a slice of pizza to test out. The pizza slice was pretty solid actually. I was surprised. It looked like it was sitting there for a bit so I didn't think it was going to reheat well but it did. Good taste, nice crust. Now onto the meal. I don't like spaghetti but I tasted it anyway. I guess it's okay this is from someone who doesn't like spaghetti. The garlic stick didn't have quite enough garlic flavor to it, but it was soft and I took a bite that was enough. My soup was good, it needed a little bit more seasoning but it was still homemade and decent. The chicken parm was very surprisingly tasty. Wasn't quite crisp enough for my tastes but it was a nice large tender piece. The sauce was very good, plenty of cheese coverage. Would have preferred a little bit more crispness to it. Would I go back here again, probably not. Such a dumpy shopping center which turns me off quite a bit and it's not near me at all. But I want to say I was very surprised that the chicken parm was pretty good and if I lived around here I would be here regularly. read more

Montesini Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Stoped by Montesinis for a quick lunch the other day while in the area. I haven't been here in quite some time, well over 15 years. The place is still the same! Literally! Nothing has changed. I ordered 2 slices and soda, came to $7.00, not bad. Their pizza is still as good as I remembered. I went with a plain and buffalo chicken. The plain was spot on, crispy and cheesy. The sauce to cheese ratio was perfect. The buffalo chicken was a tad too dry and the crust was overly hard. Still a good slice overall though. I won't wait as long to stop back in. read more

Montesini Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I haven't been to this place for years because I no longer live in the area. As a child, this place was a staple pizza place for my family and friends. We would walk over and I would spend my weekly allowance on a slice of stuffed pizza. When I had the stuffed pizza it was as good as I remembered. It's basically a combo of a cheesesteak and a pizza and it's glorious! It has nice hard crispy crust and is loaded with ooey gooey cheese and chopped steak. One slice is enough to fill you up. If you'd rather have the classic cheese pizza you can order a combo. For $5.50 you can get two slices and a medium soda. I hope I am in the area again soon so I can stop by. read more

Pizza Slices are Always great Chicken Marsala is great too !! Special Stromboli can't live without it yummy

This is my once a year ... actually once every few years stop. Been coming here off and on since I was a kid mainly for a slice of that one and only Stuffed Pizza. It's really that good. Funny thing is, I still don't know what the hell it's even called on the menu. Brought my son here yesterday for old times sake. "I used to get brought here..." He liked it just as much as I did and actually said it (plain pizza)tasted just like Aldo's (NE Philly) that's saying something. They have a decent dining area in the back if you prefer to have a waiter along with a laid back experience. Or if you're looking just to have a quick bite and bounce. There's a few tables located up front near the pizza display case. Check this place out. It definitely deserves more attention and some kind of "Best of Philly" award for that stuffed pizza. Btw the stuffed pizza is loaded with a variety of cheeses and Steak. (In case you're wondering) read more

Stopped here for some pizza while in the neighborhood. We don't live close by, just happened to be in the area. It was decent but not outstanding. Cash only- they acted like we should have known that when we pulled our card out. There is an ATM In the restaurant. I wouldn't make a special trip back. read more

Definitely one of my favorite places for a slice of pizza! They offer a great variety of slices for you to order for take out or eat in. Try their stuffed pizza. Absolutely delicious! Aside from pizza they have a full menu of great Italian fare. The dining room in the back is so romantic and quiet. But it fills up fast so get there early. Everyone is so friendly. Even the other customers. But hey who wouldn't be happy when they are eating good food. They have recently started delivering Monday thru Friday from 11:30am to 3:30pm. I noticed on the menu there are numerous lunch and dinner specials. And they offer on site and off site catering. No wonder montesini pizza has been open since 1985. Family owned and operated definitely makes a difference. Oh I almost forgot. They have 6 packs to go and serve Draft and bottle beer in the back dining room. read more

Montesini Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Save your money, they must have friends and family writing these rave reviews because they're unbelievable. The sauce taste like it came out of a can and the cheese taste like greasy cardboard and the lady at the counter didn't have any patience and was very rude. read more

Great pizza. I am not a fun of pizza at all. Not the healthiest option on my list, you know. But I've heard a lot about this place. And... We all like to be a little but sinful. For instance, to eat pizza once. Their Montesini special thin crust is something really exceptional. We ordered medium, and for two people it was more than enough. Crust! Oh my goodness! This paperthin crunchy crust! How are they doing it? Perfect valance of sauce, cheese and dough. We definitely will be back to try other pizzas. read more

Montesini Pizza - Special Stromboli - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Saw this place while shopping across the street at that new Asian supermarket and wanted to give it a try. We walked in to pick up our order and was greeted right away. We ordered the calzone, cheese pizza and some cheese fries. The calzone is pretty good with all that cheese!! It hit the spot. Cheese fries came in those red and white trays like how you get at school which seems to always make food taste better somehow. Anyways I haven't tried anything else yet but I'm pretty sure we will be back soon! read more

Good pizza and steaks ... horrible soup..really confused how bad it was...chicken noodle taste like water and escarole... just don't even bother it's just seaweed water (what it taste like)with a few pieces of their pizza sausage read more

I moved out of the area about 7 years ago and have not found a decent place near me for pizza or cheesesteaks and making them at home just isn't the same . The last time I ate at Montesini Pizza was about 5 years ago, but I drove (45 minutes) to Mayfair today and bought a cheesesteak w/fried onions and a slice of pepperoni pizza. Both were as delicious as always. The pizza crust was crispy and fresh tasting, the cheese was just gooey enough and the pepperoni didn't overpower or over grease the slice. The Cheesesteak was phenomenal. The meat was flavorful, the cheese was melted into the meat, the onions cooked just right. The roll was so incredibly fresh and I have to add that the entire cheesesteak was juicy but NOT greasy at all. Please support this local eatery. (no photos because I ate it too quickly) Update 11/03/20: I just re-heated the second half of the cheesesteak (45 seconds in microwave) and it tastes just as delicious as it did last night read more

I had no idea this place was here! Pizza is absolutely delicious, also ordered chicken parm Sandwiches and a chicken Alfredo platter....all looks Super good!!! read more

I live down the street from Montesini's and it is ALWAYS my go-to when I'm craving any sort of takeout. Their pizza tastes great and the slices are large. They're onion rings are to die for! They are made the way real onion rings should be. They are huge onion slices that are crunchy when you first bite in and then the fried outer exterior just flakes off into your mouth. Personally, I love dipping them in a side of Cheese Wiz. I have tried many different food items from here...garlic bread, cheesesteaks, hoagies, stromboli's, calzone's, stuffed pizza...you name it and I've tried it. It's all delicious. They also have seating available if you prefer to dine-in. The only downside to them is that they don't deliver and they only accept cash (there is, however, an ATM on the premises if needed). I hope this will eventually change because I feel like I would order from there more often if I knew I could be lazy and stuff my face from home :) read more

Ive been coming to Montesini's since I was a kid and it still holds the title of my favorite pizza place. The pizza is awesome and the service is great. Whether you are stopping in for a slice or choosing to dine in their back restaurant area Montesini is an excellent choice. I plan on coming back any time Im in town. If only they delivered to California;) read more

When talking about Family is everything, this place is second to none. Same staff since I have be coming here in since grade school. Not only same staff but same top quality ZA. Finding a good slice of pizza in Northeast Philadelphia is not an easy task but let me tell you one thing MONO has to be your go to! Whether you order a slice of plain or Stuffed (cheesesteak pizza) you will not be disappointed. The younger man with black hair working the pizza counter moves around the place like he is a veteran stock broker on New Yorks Wall Street market, pulling pies out of the oven while taking order, it's truly amazing. Never had a bad slice of ZA from this joint. This place is great for a first date, the back of this restaurant, feels like you are sitting in your Italian grandmothers dinning room! When Mono pie hits your eyes, it AMORE! Enjoy read more

I've been going to this place for almost 20 years. It's just as good now as it was then, a staple in the neighborhood for sure. Grabbing a slice, or staying to eat is such a nice option to have, with a huge menu of pretty damn good Italian food and they're quick. You can now get alcohol, and don't forget, Cash Only. read more

I would give 3 and a half if I could, on Jersey Pizza rating scale, but NE Philly pizza is so bad, that the half star goes to the best around. The crust had a nice texture and the mix of cheese sauce and sausage was close to perfect. I would get it well done next time for a crunchier crust, but that's my call and not the restaurants. Plus the have excellent deep dish as well. read more
