I didn't expect a masterpiece when ordering chicken Alfredo from a pizza shop, but what I received…read morewas the most lazy, careless, and outright offensive excuse for food I've ever been served. This wasn't cooking, it was indifference on a plate. I've served in the military for 12 years and have been issued pre-packaged meals that were infinitely better than this. The pasta arrived in a flimsy foil bowl and was very clearly mass-produced, likely assembled in some random factory. And if, by some miracle, this was actually prepared in-house, that only makes it far worse. The noodles were lower quality than bargain-bin ramen, and the so-called Alfredo "sauce" wasn't a sauce at all it was a congealed lump of melted cheese with no resemblance to Alfredo in any form. What they served me was unrecognizable as food, let alone something fit to be sold or consumed. I wouldn't serve this to an animal, much less a paying customer. It is astonishing that anyone thought this was acceptable. I won't even comment on their pizza, but if the same level of negligence applies, it's no mystery how this place stays open, standards clearly do not exist here. This was a disgraceful dining experience, easily the worst I've ever had and that's coming from someone who has eaten military rations for over a decade.

This was a positive review but I had the worst experience. We placed an order for delivery,…read moreexpected delivery was about 40 minutes. Cool, no worries. An hour passes, a few more minutes, a few more. We call. The 'order was never received by the kitchen' and the food was never made nor out for delivery. There was no notification and somehow the front cashier didn't know anything about the order. The solution was for us to wait an additional 20-25 minutes for food to be made and hopefully delivered.

The place is clean. The staff is friendly. It's kinda dim, could use better lighting. I ordered…read morea large pepperoni pizza, extra cheese, crispy, and the older man dropped it. ‍ I found it funny because things happen and his look made things funnier, and it's no big deal, I'm in no rush, lol. Now, the pizza itself I give 5/5, so much cheese and there is never too much cheese! Not only that, for it to have so much cheese, it really held its integrity! Almost zero flop over. I've been here before and I'll be back again.

It's been 12 years since I last went to the Jackson House, and finally getting back there felt like…read morestepping into a completely different life. New me, new experience. like not a single cell from back then made the trip with me. We pull up, deal with Harrisburg parking (a whole separate scam I won't get into today), and walk into this little hole-in-the-wall lunch spot that closes at 2. That alone explains why it's been over a decade. But the second you step inside, it hits you this place has an aura. Straight New York-Philly energy. Metro signs everywhere, burger memorabilia, cheesesteak philosophy on the walls, Italian pride, city pride, just buku love, buku vibes. You order in a separate little room that feels like a classic bodega. Glass cooler with lunch meats, tiny soda setup, 50-cent refills, vanilla and cherry add-ons if you're feeling fancy. Cash only. No exceptions. We actually had to leave and hit an ATM because my roommate forgot. That's the kind of place this is. Feels like there's no internet in there. Like they might still be running a ham radio in the back. The guys working there? Straight 1970s New York swagger. You can tell this place has not changed since the day it opened, and that's exactly the point. And the wait,yeah, you're waiting. 20 minutes easy. But that's part of it. That's Staves of all the instant gratification and doom scrolling. It sets you back to a forgotten time. Then the burger comes out. This ain't no smash burger. This ain't no little quarter-pound situation. This is a big, meaty, juicy, chewy, greasy, gooey pound of flesh. And yeah, keep all of that. I'm staring at it for 30 seconds, salivating, practically full just looking at it. I finally put the bun on and go at it jerking my head around like a dog playing tug of war (making the most carnivorous, bestial sounds) I got the Jackson burger, lettuce, tomato, J-sauce. I need my J-sauce. And it hits and for a brief moment there is no worry in the world. This isn't a place you go every week unless you're trying to test your mortality. But when you go, you go all the way: 22-ounce Coca-Cola, burger, fries. No half measures. And the crowd? Office guys in suits on their lunch break. Capitol crowd. That's the vibe. I'm never in that world, so stepping into it felt like being dropped into a different city entirely--honestly felt like a Manhattan Lunch Break. The burger itself? Timeless. Not chasing trends, not trying to be Shake Shack, not Five Guys. This is some old-school, 1950s, Back to the Future-type energy. I half expected Marty McFly and Doc to walk in, get em one. Only surprise? No shakes. Feels like they should have shakes. They don't do fries with that shake. Now the one knock: the fries. Flavor? Perfection, hand cut boardwalk style fries. But I got a lot of little end pieces, now that's straight up disrespectful to me, how you gonna treat me like that?. I don't want to dig through little nubs to find actual fries. That's where I gotta be honest, dock a point. Overall though? Food: elite Experience: unmatched Vibe: 5/5 Conclusion - 4/5 (fix those bum-ass fries.)

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!
