Renzi&#x27;s Pizzeria

I stopped here with my two young boys to try a cheesesteak. There was a decent line outside when we…read morearrived, but I was really impressed with how efficiently they handled the ordering process. Once you reach the counter, you enter your name and phone number, and they send you a text when your order is ready. You can then return to pick up and pay for your food. I honestly wish more places would implement a system like this--it worked really well and kept everything moving smoothly. We ordered a regular cheesesteak with fried onions, and it was absolutely delicious! There is no seating at this establishment, so everything is to go, but it was well worth the stop. We really enjoyed the cheesesteak and would definitely come back again.

It is almost impossible to find soda around this area. The service was super fast, we got there about 30 minutes before opening. I had my cheesesteak in about five minutes, they text you when it is ready. The meat is mixed with the cheese and makes a meat soup over the most delicious bread baked by a nearby bakery owned by the owner's daughter. They are the best sandwich rolls you will have. By far, the best Philly Cheesesteak I have had. I could only finish half, but it made for a great breakfast the next day. You have to try this place!

I came in excited to experience this venue's Phish stream on Weds 7/15/26, but what I encountered…read morewas a masterclass in how not to run a bar. The moment we arrived, we were greeted by a bartender whose hostility was immediate and inescapable. His disdain for customers was so palpable that nearly every patron at the bar was openly discussing it, people were literally afraid to order drinks from him. He met every request with eye rolling contempt, as if our very presence was an imposition. Later in the night, when I ordered a drink from a different spot at the bar, he barked at me for doing so. Apparently that wasn't "how things worked here." Never mind that the bar was nearly empty and obviously unassigned seating. The pettiness was staggering. That was my breaking point. I called him out for his abusive treatment of paying customers.. Instead of addressing the obvious problem, a manager approached me with a threat: "We know how he is, but if you don't relax, you're gonna have to leave." Let that sink in. Rather than deal with a employee with an apparent pattern of hostility, they chose to intimidate a customer for voicing a legitimate complaint. Multiple patrons actually thanked me afterward, they'd endured the same treatment all night but lacked the nerve to speak up. I documented the experience on their Instagram. They deleted it immediately. This isn't a bad night...it's a culture problem. Paulie Gees has chosen protection over accountability, and their customers are the ones paying the price. I won't be back, and I'd urge others to take their business elsewhere.

Lemon, aperol and simple syrup added a refreshing twist. For entrees, my wife ordered the pacherri; a simple pork ragu with tender broccoli rabe, Parmesan, stracciatello and basil. The dish was delicious. I enjoyed my plate of sea-inspired tonnarelli nero. Bay scallops in crab ragu with fennel sofrito. Served with squid ink pasta that imparted a slight brininess. The pasta was cooked pangrattato style-- coated in panko bread crumbs and garlic. The dish had many flavors but they all came back to the theme.

Probably order something different next time just to try more of the menu, but I'm getting that ricotta again no matter what.

Creamy Oregano Salad: very interesting. small shaves of mushroom and fennel. very slight bitter taste. oddly addictive. the olives were my favorite part. i'd consider these friendly olives to those suspicious of olives. and the olives are cut in halves, so easy to pick out. so are the mushrooms. easy split for a table of four. beyond that i'd get two. *ADD ON* pickled chilies: very good. I suggest adding this to the pie. they are green, spicy, delicious, absolutely lovely. Corn Pizza: all together very delicious. my favorite part are the cherry tomatoes on top, which I would really like to be an add on option to other pies. they are the perfect flavor and size. i'm not particularly a tomato fan, especially whole. these are a rare exception. Classic Pizza?: solid, no notes. good as always. My only wish is that they offered a sauce to dip my crust in. they have very good crust, perfect ration of crispy and fluffy. just needs a sauce. Overall, great service, the manager greeted us to check on our meal, our server was attentive, the vibe is great inside.

We got the gnarlic knots which were decently tasting, but since it was to go, we didn't check it before it left. They didn't put on the parm-romano cheese and they didn't include the garlic dipping sauce. It just seemed like the running around not knowing who was going what led to oversight. There are tables to dine in, but it's not too much to expect not to inspect food to go to make sure it's as ordered. It seems like this location was just disorganized and the quality of the food suffered.

Fortunately, I got booked on a flight out the next morning and found a hotel in the city. Other than running to a drug store, my only other time leaving my hotel was to grab dinner at Pizzeria Vetri across the street. I enjoyed the food, the service, and the ambiance. I was immediately seated upon arriving to Pizzeria Vetri. I was asked if I wanted to sit at the bar, at a table, or at the pizza counter. I chose the pizza counter so that I could watch staff making pizzas. As I was there on my own, the serving staff continued to stop by and check on me. The menu includes neopolitan pizzas (12" feeding 1-2 people) and metro pizzas (28" feeding 3-4 people). They make pizzas, calzones, antipasti, and salads. I chose a Neapolitan-style pepperoni pizza consisting of pepperoni, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fresh oregano. It was quite filling and absolutely delicious! They also sell pizza kits so that you can make your own pizza at home. Pizzeria Vetri was created to celebrate the art of authentic pizza making. They aimed to create simple food made exactly the right way using the best and freshest ingredients served in a space where all are welcome. You can visit the Pizzeria Vetri website (https://www.pizzeriavetri.com) to order online, see menus, details about all four locations as well as to learn about classes, hosting events, and catering options. You can sign up for PV Perks at https://www.pizzeriavetri.com/pv-perks. You earn 25 points for signing up and one point for every dollar spent. You receive a $5 discount for every 50 points redeemed.

what another horrible order my husband and I had tonight(4/14/15). We live around the corner from renzi's. The past couple timeshare ordered the food wasn't good at all. Tonight's ordered was the worst of all and we will unfortunately not be ordering anymore. The was barely any sauce on our small pizza. The slices were literally falling apart you couldn't even pick entire slice up bc half of it stuck to the box. Our delivery didn't take very long yet the food was luke warm at best when it arrived. The fries are always soggy because of the container but I guess it's our fault for still ordering them. I won't even start about the wait staff when you eat in. read more

Super delicious pizza, very similar to that at the legendary Charlie's (formerly on Roosevelt Boulevard but now at 9910 Frankford Avenue). Their original owners were cousins. A thousand times more delicious than at the chains and even most mom and pop shops. And much cheaper! Great recipes with tons of flavor. Always add extra cheese for the very best taste (wow, is it creamy and dreamy!). Experiment with other toppings to determine your favorite combination. We prefer the sausage, steak, extra cheese, and of course pepperoni, all of which are fresh and top notch. The dough is made fresh daily. As at almost all other pizzerias, the tomato sauce and mushrooms are canned. Yet, they still taste good at Vince's because they are cooked properly (to a very high temperature). But it is the overall (superior) flavor that matters. You should definitely buy the large because it costs but a dollar more than the small. You can refrigerate the leftovers, which still taste fresh if reheated within a few days. The service can be slow, rude, cranky, and occasionally mistake-prone. There is no delivery. And the restaurant is open for merely six hours every day (from 4 to 10 PM). But Vince's is definitely worth the wait and trouble.

The toppings were cheap and generic. The whole mess is overly salty. Mega's cheesesteaks have low-end, imported beef that must chopped into thousands of pieces in order to be made chewable due to the huge amount of gristle present.

The staff is polite and relatively fast. Prices are a bit on the high side for the actual amount of food received. One positive is the relative freshness of the food. The neighborhood is relatively safe. The restaurant is old and decaying. The parking lot is small. There are several superior pizzerias within driving (or even walking) distance.
