A Melrose staple! This is a must stop place for me when I'm in the Melrose area. The employees are very friendly (and really get to know their regulars). If you're new to the area - parking is on the street with plenty of spots. While they do a large takeout/delivery business, they also have tables for you to dine inside. My go to is always the steak and cheese calzone or their Buffalo chicken calzone. Food is always consistent. Today when I was there, they gave me a warm cookie on my way out for a "sweet treat for the road". I love this place.

If I could give it worse than 1 star I would. We ordered a large margarita pizza and paid $27 for an inedible pizza that was a cheese pizza with tomatoes on top and bread that was nothing like pizza dough. Lost $30 and I'm still hungry.

Wow, just got a 15 dollar steak and cheese, that was so pencil thin it could have been a taquito. 1/2 the sun barlely had meat. I don't mind paying a fair price, but a 15 dollar sub better be impressive. This was anything but. So so very disappointing

I don't know what's up with all the negative reviews for Petrone's... We couldn't disagree more. We love the Buff Chick calzone. Sure it's $22 for a large, but it's HUGE (basically the size of my torso). That & a Greek salad (shout out to the homemade pita!) has fed my boyfriend & I for 2 dinners and 3 of my lunches at home. Crisps right up in the toaster oven & is delicious. In the end, I think it's unfair to give this place 1 star based off delivery pizza. Try picking up a buffalo chicken calzone from the restaurant next time. I'd bet you won't be disappointed. read more

How can you charge $18 for a small steak and cheese calzone?????? you took over the business. The calzone is small.. you change the price to an outrageous price and the calzone hasn't got any bigger to equal price to portion size. in fact, I ordered once and it was smaller than it used to be.. you should be ashamed of yourselves. I've been ordering from Petrones since I was a teenager and I just turned 50.. I will never order from you again... fix your prices.. stop charging so much for little... you've lost a long time customer of over 40 years.... and I will let everyone know how you screw over your customers now.... I just can't belive people have accepted your ridiculous prices.... read more

My girlfriend and I have lived in Melrose for over a year now and I was amazed at all of the pizza places Melrose had to offer. For my birthday celebration, I organized a pizza/bar crawl with my friends to find the best pizzerias close by. I ordered us a small pizza from each of the seven pizzerias. We rated each place on appearance, crust, cheese/sauce & overall taste. Petrone's Pizza was the best! Very happy with the result and looking forward to many more slices in the future! read more

Pizza just is not good! It's super thick and doughy, barely cooked, floppy, cheese is a weird melt that is a mess after delivery. have to eat with a knife and fork. There is no way to pickup a piece and eat it cleanly . It resembles what the pizza is they serve at Costco. Have tried it off and on for years but I'm pretty much done now. read more

I review pizza's and I went petrone's first of all their pizza was amazing. They had the perfect amount of cheese and sauce the crust was beautiful. They hadn't little to no grease. The crust was soft, and it just tasted amazing. But it didn't end there. The manager asked us if we wanted to make a pizza. It was quite the day. The staff and costumer service was impressive. If you want to see the video it's on the Instagram: Kavineats42. To sum it up great place highly recommend it. read more

I had never ordered delivery from Petrone's Pizza before and I was very pleasantly surprised. Today's National Picnic Day, and a few of the restaurants in town, including Petrone's, were offering specials. Their delivery was quick and they offered contact-free delivery by ringing our doorbell and leaving the packaged food on our front porch. We really appreciated this, given our anxiety around the pandemic. I loved the pizza. I'm a fan of a slightly sweeter marinara sauce, and my pizza was fresh and loaded with veggies, cheese, pepperoni, and sausage. My husband liked the fries, and I was a fan of the mozzarella sticks. I bought a chicken salad sub as well, but I'm going to be polishing that off for dinner and lunch tomorrow. I would totally order from them again, and I'm grateful and thrilled that they've been able to keep going during this surreal time in Melrose's history. Thanks, Petrone's! read more

Seriously? We ordered a simple large pepperoni pizza to be delivered about a mile away and when I asked how long it would take, I was told, "not very long." Over 45 minutes later, I called and was told "it is on the way." More than an hour total wait, the cold, dry, burnt pizza arrived. If I could give it less than 1 star, I would. It used to be decent pizza. Very disappointed. read more

As for customer service I give them a A+++++. Again here in Mass customer service is a joke. No one cares about being courteous to their customers, but here they welcome you and thank you.

We were also told that they do not have spinach wraps, again as if we should know. Don't most places call if they have questions on a request and not sass their customers?

But, this time, after my last experience, I leaned over the counter and tried to keep my eyes on him and, sure enough, I spotted him start to put pickles and other veggies on it without asking me anything. I called out to him and told him I how I wanted it made and he did so but it was a nuisance. The sub was good again but I don't recommend anyone buy one at this place unless you're happy with the shop deciding exactly how they make your sub. If you want a choice however, virtually every other sub shop in the region will ask you first and give you a chance to tell them how to finish the sub.

Classic Pizza and Sub joint. Pizza is all about the sauce/gravy and they do it right! I can't stand greek pizza yet this place can content with any Italian pizza around these parts!! Most important the owner is a really good man. hard worker that runs his business with passion and commitment.... he employees plenty of local youth, granted not always the best staff as they're young and it's part time, but he does fill the place with workers so that if you call with an order you can rest assured it will be done rapidly and with high quality. Prices are pretty good. You have to give it a try if you're looking for pizza and/or subs. read more

I like the food, but the girl who usually takes my delivery is awful to deal with. Shes always in a hurry to get my order done with and makes it sound like a burden to put in an order with her tone. On three separate occasions she has gotten my address wrong because she either doesn't listen or whatever, but it's literally laughable. I say my address super slow now and just hope to God she gets it right, and sure enough she can't. Everyone else at Petrone's in my experience is great but she needs to learn customer service read more

I work at a day center for special needs adults. We order from Petrone's almost every Friday. The staff is always very nice and very helpful and they often give us coupons which reduce the total bill. The food at Petrone's is outta this world!! We've never had a bad meal from Petrone's. We are especially crazy about their Eggplant Parm subs - best in all of Massachusetts!!!! Susan O. and Maple Streeet Center P.S. They are always timely with their delivery, too!!! read more

Petrones pizzeria has the absolute best chicken soup, THAT I'VE EVER HAD, with the exclusion to my Mom's. I will tell you, however, it runs an extremely close second. They will also make you almost any kind of calzone. The other day I had them make me a specialty cheese calzone, and OH MY MAMA MIA, MUAH!! read more
