    Chicken Stromboli
    Miles A.

    Decent neighborhood pizza spot with many other options too - sandwiches, hoagies, cheesesteaks, salads, wings, etc. Prices are fair and quality seemed decent enough. They do have online ordering or you can call in. Most days there are special deals too. Large pizza was good, sauce a bit average but amount and taste of cheese was nice. Good crispy and softness combo for the crust, and also not overly greasy. Also tried the chicken Stromboli and that was also tasty - very full with the fillings inside. Thanks

    Philly cheesesteak

    Saw this place riding around downtown and decided to stop in. The restaurant was very clean and had a very authentic Philly look to it, inside and out. I asked the employees their opinions and they gave me honest feedback on what they thought about the food there. This was hands down the best Philly that I had when I was in Philly for the weekend (1 of 5). There was a perfect amount of cheese, just the right amount of meat and they had Herrs chips which pair perfectly with Phillys in my opinion!

    Pete's! I went to the one location nearest to broad street cause I was so hungry after a cocktail party. It looked like your run of the mill kind of pizza shop. Gus, coowner of the shop, was working that day. He recommended the Nutella Sugar Knots cause I was craving dessert. Then I realized I should probably get food food so ended up with the vegetarian quesadilla. Then when I checked in Yelp gave me a free cookie (yes Gus! It is the correct location the cookie comes up for...not the grays ferry one!) The cookie was average. Pretty big and full of chunks. I wish it would have been warmed a bit. The Nutella Sugar Knots are pretty solid! Full of confectionery sugar on top. The knots are very soft....might be better to make it a little crispy on the outside. The vegetable quesadilla was very good. I really liked how it came with a salad and I think it was the perfect amount of greens mixed with cheese. Overall the food is average at a 3 but the experience of watching Gus deems this place a 5. People make a restaurant and seeing his love for the restaurant was exciting!

    During a recently trip to Phlly a friend recommended we try this place. And I'm so glad they did. The pizza was beyond good and I'm still dreaming about the exquisite crust. We also really liked the vintage diner feel on the inside. We were debating getting a small or large, and I'm quite happy we got the bigger one because once we started it was hard to stop - it tasted so great.

    One of the best pizzas in the entire Philadelphia area! We had a large pizza for two and it was a great atmosphere with a very welcoming family vibe! They also were featured on the food network for there strombolis

    I had the cheese steak and it was very delicious! I had the one with like 3 or 4 different cheeses. If feel like that was too much cheese for me. I asked which cheese was most popular for the cheese steak sandwich and they said American cheese. The meat was just above average but fresh. The bun seemed homemade. I added hot peppers, lettuce and mayonnaise. I give this cheese steak a 7.4 out of 10. If I had only had the American cheese I am sure the score would had been higher. I liked the Ambiance it was pretty cool. You can eat inside. The server had below average customer service. Seemed to have an attitude. I do recommend this restaurant.

    Greek Signature Pizza
    Che D.

    First time at Pete's Famous pizza and I have to say they have a pretty decent pizza! I ordered a Greek pizza and mild buffalo wings. Let's start with the wings. Their mild sauce has a sweetness that I wasn't expecting but I wasn't mad at it either. It's similar to a traditional buffalo sauce with a hint of BBQ sauce and sugar. Interesting but acceptable. Now the pizza. The crust was not too thick or thin and slightly crunchy which I love. The dough and the sauce were ok. The sauce tasted like an ordinary premade pizza sauce. The star of the pie were the cheese and Greek toppings. The cheese was gooey goodness and the olives, tomatoes and spinach were a great balance of salty and mild. Oh and the service was great. I walked and placed an order and it was ready in 15 minutes.

    My favorite restaurant that I went to while visiting Philly. This place feels like being back in…read moreItaly. It is tiny inside with just a bar and a couple tables. That's it. I love this European feel. Up first, I had a $17 El Noe. I was hoping for a strong burnt mezcal taste, but nope. It seems like only Florida gets this drink right. The drink wasn't bad at all, but I was just looking for that burnt taste. I also had a $18 Dirty Pasta Water Martini, basically a dirty martini. It was fine, but it came in a micro grass which was kind of weird. Clearly this isn't a place you come for cocktails. Now, onto the star of the night, the food. Up first, the $16 Spring Salad. Loved it, hit the spot. Also, had the $17 Arancini. I really liked those little balls and especially the dipping sauce. I had the $26 Rigatoni. It was absolutely phenomenal. I could go eat it every day. My mom had the $24 Tonnarelli and it was also top tier excellent. The flavors, the atmosphere, the staff, everything here is top notch. The Internet did not let me down. I'm so glad I decided to book this restaurant. I had a wonderful night.

The antipasti we chose the crudo was not my style of sashimi pairing. They added a fish with something even more oily/heavy so it just made everything heavy and not light and fresh which I prefer. The rigatoni honestly was way too salty for my taste. With the focaccia that's mid...it was less salty. The rumps seasonal pasta was delicious and fresh tasting! The service however is amazing and the server gave the great rec of the seasonal rumps pasta!

My partner and I couldn't eat two of the three dishes we ordered at the restaurant this evening. We started with some bread - I smothered a few slices in olive oil. We ordered the Caesar Salad first - you can see from the attached picture, it doesn't look that good - it's mostly 'white' Romaine lettuce - not sure where the green part was!! I tasted the salad and almost had to remove the lettuce from my mouth! It was so bitter - sour - an overwhelming acidic taste - it appeared to be too much lemon juice. We couldn't figure it out - we returned the salad. We ordered a side of meatballs next in a marinara sauce. They tasted fine and were tender - the marinara was good as well. Next up, we shared the seafood special of the night - Linguini Pescatore - pasta with mussels, calamari and shrimp. The dish came - we both tasted the pasta and came to the same conclusion - over salted to a degree which I've never experienced. I took another taste as it was hard to believe there was that much sodium in this dish. It was inedible - I tasted a shrimp - same overwhelming salty taste. I thought it must be the white sauce as everything in that bowl had absorbed it. We left two dishes uneaten - I notice a patron behind me whose partner had pasta with red sauce - completely clean plate - while his partner left her dish full of pasta with white sauce. My guess, the tomato based marinara was fine, but the white sauce wasn't. It's hard to believe the chef cooking those sauces would serve something laden with so much salt - I'm hopeful it was a mistake. However, the Caesar Salad was also horrible - my guess - it's a hit or miss restaurant. One which I'll avoid in the future.

If none of those appeal to you, your only alternative is to choose a pasta with a standard sugo (tomato sauce). There are also a couple of sandwich options, but those are limited as well. There's little to no flexibility--if it's not on the menu, they're not likely to accommodate substitutions or custom requests. That said, the two young men I encountered were both professional and not snarky at all in relaying the limitations. It was what it was. I went with rigatoni in sugo, topped with grated Parmesan. The pasta was excellent--perfectly al dente, and the sauce had great flavor and consistency. Authentic and well-prepared. That said, the downsides are hard to ignore. The portion was relatively small, and with a bottle of Italian soda, the total came to $22.58--closer to $30 with tip. There's also no complimentary bread. Focaccia is available for $5, but it didn't look particularly appealing (a bit dark and overly crisp), though I didn't try it. Pros: * Delicious, authentic Italian pasta * Perfect texture and well-balanced sauce * Clean, attractive trattoria setting Cons: * Very limited menu (pasta and a few sandwiches) * No customization or flexibility * Price feels high for the portion size * No complimentary bread Overall, a tasty experience, but the limited menu and value may not work for everyone.
