I think it's their best pie. The hoagies are really good too. They are reasonably priced compared to other places. It's a family owned and run shop and they are so nice.

This is our go-to local pizza place. We prefer to sit in the bar. The dining area feels…read more.. outdated? However, the bar area is family-friendly; it's usually abuzz with chatter from other patrons. We order side salads with delicious pizza place ranch (the best) and a large cheese pizza. The food always comes out quickly and is piping hot, which is my absolute preferred way to eat a pizza. The staff always have good energy and go out of their way to be friendly and engaging. After writing this review, I might try and convince the family to go there tonight!

I don't think I've ever given a 1 star review to a (probably) local owner. After reading a bit…read moreabout the ownership, I learned that this Monte Cellos location was sold and is managed by a "Sonny." It was a Sonny I messaged. Our fb messenger interaction is screenshotted in pics. In short, we ordered online on Monday. The restaurant decided to close due to a storm the evening prior. I thought roads were perfectly clear so it never occurred to me that they'd be closed. We waited almost 2 hours before realizing they have to be closed. No VM message, online orders took, and $ withdrawn from the bank (reversed the next day). I was still craving Monte Cellos so we ordered on Tuesday. It took 75 min to get our food, and the order wasn't complete. We had been charged for 2 full dinners but received no soup or salad. I figured I'd call during day shift when manager is likely to be on site. I couldn't call until Thursday bc I was so busy in meetings on Wednesday. The manager with whom I spoke was rude and not at all helpful. He blamed me for waiting the extra day, said I could "cone get the soup," and refused a partial refund. As a Monte Cellos patron since we moved to PGH in 2013, I was so taken back by the attitude and lack of willingness to treat loyal customers like a business who cares about their loyal customers. This guy's attitude, when summed up in a statement, seemed to be,"screw you. I don't care. We got plenty of customers. It's all your fault." I was angry and very disappointed. We've had plenty of issues over the past 13 years, but nothing that warranted a phone call or even a mention until now. I asked for the manager on a local foodie site and Sonny messaged me. I believe it's reasonable to want a partial refund, especially when the manager is so confrontational about the issues. For my own business, I turn off scheduling online for my business when I'm not going to be there.. it's easy.. Their failure to turn off ordering seems less like an "oops, sry," and more like a middle finger to the customer and pure arrogance. Add to that the agreement to give so e refund but not following through warrants a 1 star review. This is literally my first one star for a non-corp restaurant. If I didn't do research, I wouldn't know this place is not related anymore to the actual Monte Cellos. If this was my first interaction w Monte Cellos, I sure wouldn't be back. I'll visit the other locations, but never again to Wexford unless something tremendous changes, like management or owner. When you read the msg chain, I'll readily admit to being mad. I felt gaslighted by the manager. I don't remember if it was Sonny on the phone or another name, I just know no refund was given and the lack of accountability was over the top.

It wasn't too crowded as there were still several seats available inside plus a bench outside, but I chose to eat outside because it was such a beautiful day. I really like the business model where you can grab a single slice and actually see the pizzas before choosing. Sometimes you just want a slice or two instead of committing to a whole pizza, and it's nice being able to mix it up. At $4 per slice, it also feels like a pretty good deal considering how large and filling the slices are. I do wish there had been a few more pizza options available at the counter, but I also understand I came later on a Monday evening. They toast the pizza again really quickly after you choose your slices, and I loved that extra toasted texture, especially on the tomato spinach pizza. I'm a fan of New York-style pizza in general because I like that foldable, crispy texture and the balance between the cheese and crust. Interestingly, the pepperoni slice felt pretty different from the tomato spinach one crust-wise. I personally preferred the thinner, crispier crust on the tomato spinach, but I also appreciated the variety and liked the more comforting feel of the pepperoni pizza. I also loved that they had Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes available to add on top. Since they already have a topping counter, I think it could be cool if they also offered things like banana peppers, hot sauce, chili oil, truffle oil, garlic oil, or balsamic on top to compliment the different pizza flavors.

Good stuff. I…read moreordered a large pizza with pepperoni, hot sausage, and their red/white sauce combo. Crust was crispy and seasoned. Toppings were generous and tasty. Sauce was amazing. Overall, great spot. Will be ordering from here again in the future for sure.

We arrived at 5:30 and were quoted a 45-minute wait (possibly less). We stood outside for over an hour. During that time, we watched multiple parties who arrived after us get seated ahead of us--including a two-top seated immediately after we were told we were "next." When we questioned it, staff were defensive and claimed some guests "live nearby," put their names in earlier, and leave to wait for a text. That was never explained on the phone or upon arrival. From what we directly observed, the seating process did not appear first-come, first-served. It appeared selective. Transparency matters, and so does basic courtesy when guests ask legitimate questions. Ten minutes after we finally left--after waiting over an hour--we were told our table was ready. By then, the issue was no longer the wait, but the clear lack of organization and professionalism. We will not be returning.
