Caprese 10/10 I got the side portion, which was three huge slices of tomato and mozzarella. The tomato was super fresh and perfectly ripe- not too hard and not too soft. The mozzarella was fresh and delicious. The amount of oil and balsamic was perfect. Even though it was a side portion, it was definitely something that could be shared between two people, if you're trying to save room for your meal! Chicken parm 8/10 Chicken was tender and juicy. The breading had a good flavor and was fried super crunchy. Pasta was cooked perfectly, my coworker just wasn't a huge fan of the flavor of the red sauce, and how overly crunch the breading was, which is why he gave it an 8. Chicken piccata 9/10 Sauce was yummy. Risotto was delicious! Stuffed shells (Tuesday special) 9/10 Shells were cooked great. The sauce had a good flavor. The cheese was also a good flavored blend and kept its shape even when you cut the shell, I just personally would have liked it to be a touch more melty and gooey. I loved all the cheese on top too! Absolutely love that the entrees come with a glass of wine and a side salad.

Unfortunately, because I was not given the opportunity to do so, I feel I have no alternative but to share our experience. We decided to give Primanti Bros. in Hershey a try for lunch today, but unfortunately, we never even made it to ordering. From the moment we walked in, the young blonde hostess was unwelcoming and incredibly short with us. There was no greeting. She asked if we needed children's menus, and when I said we needed two, her response was simply that she only had one. There was no offer to get another one or even a friendly acknowledgment. We asked to sit outside, and she took us to a table in the direct sun, put the menus down, and walked away without saying anything. We asked if we could sit at another table that was outside but shaded. We were told no because it hadn't been wiped off yet and was dirty. Rather than offering to have it cleaned, she pointed us toward another table and walked away. Throughout the interaction, she was short, rolled her eyes, and made us feel like we were an inconvenience rather than guests. At that point, we decided to leave. What was even more disappointing was what happened when I called immediately afterward. I specifically asked to speak with a manager because I wanted to give management the opportunity to address the situation directly rather than post a negative review. The same hostess apparently answered the phone and refused to put me through to a manager unless I first told her what the call was about. When I said I preferred to discuss the matter directly with the manager, she asked, "Are you the one who just walked out of here that I was trying to seat?" She told me the manager, April, would not be available for at least an hour, but continued to insist that I could not speak with her unless I first explained the situation to the hostess. We are local and had decided to give Primanti Bros. a try, but after this experience, we won't be returning. We ended up going across the street to The Grill instead, which was wonderful. What is most frustrating is that this entire situation could have been handled with a little kindness and basic customer service. And even after the poor experience, I was willing to address it privately and give management an opportunity to respond. Unfortunately, I wasn't given that opportunity. A hostess is often the first impression of a restaurant, and unfortunately, ours was bad enough that we chose to walk out before we ever ordered. I genuinely hope management sees this review and uses it as an opportunity to address how guests are welcomed and how concerns are handled.

The menu is pretty standard pizza shop fare - pizza, burgers, Stromboli, etc. We were intrigued with the Grandma's Pizza offerings and decided on the Trio - with one-third Cheese Lover, one-third Margarita, and one-third Meat Lover. This is a rectangular pie with three slices of each. The price seemed a little steep, but it's pretty common these days to pay $15 a person for a meal. The counter man informed us it would be 30 minutes. I appreciated the head-up, but we had no where to go...and it meant the pizza was being made fresh! It was actually done in about 20 minutes. Gorgeous to look at, and loaded down with toppings. There was no skimping here. The edges of the pie were crispy without being crunchy, and the dough underneath was soft but still could stand up to the weight of the toppings. Somewhat reminiscent of a Detroit-style pizza, but leaner and, IMO, tastier. We are half the pie, trying each type and packed the rest for home. I expect it will reheat well. Total with drinks was around $30. You could feed a family of four on this pie. Excellent!

The pizza was good and has a "New York" style crust that serves well for folding a slice. Sauce and cheese were tasty but not especially noteworthy.
