Sorrento&#x27;s Pizza

Know it's trite but literally the best cheesesteak I've ever had! For a surprising reason however:…read morethe bread! Food: 5. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: no reservations Return worthiness: yes! Eve awards best cheesesteak of my life--still thinking about it Highlights: - The bread: a soft long roll with sesame seeds was a delight I didn't see coming. - Meat: was lightly seasoned but kept its pure flavor. Most cheesesteaks have such bland meat so this did it right - Cheese: melty coopers cheese was perfectly mixed in. - Onions: just the right soloing if grilled onions mixed in to complement the meat but not overwhelm it. - Size: monstrous! You can easily share (but you may not want to). - Fairly efficient: even with long lines, put your phone number in the kiosk, can pay with credit card, and wait til you are texted to pick it up. - For the whole family: my cranky teen son said it's the best thing he ate on our 23 day summer East Coast trip (including lots of great dining spots around Philly and NYC). Lowlights: - Waits can be long and brutal in heat. We got lucky with a shorter line. - No seating: just an ordering counter inside so many are eating out on the sidewalk.

It took us around 15 minutes to order and another 10 minutes to get through the pickup line, but it was so worth the wait. The instructions weren't super clear since they just tell you what to do when you get there, and it seemed like a lot of people weren't listening. They were pretty efficient at getting everyone through the line, though, and the service was kind. We got the cheesesteak with Cooper Sharp and fried onions, plus long hots on the side. The bread is the star here. It's made with sourdough, so the outside has a nice crunch while the inside stays soft, and the sesame seeds add even more texture and flavor. The cheesesteak itself was pretty standard but done really well. It was super creamy, and I loved that the onions weren't soggy. Honestly, this was the best Philly cheesesteak I've ever had. 8.5/10. Ate all of that upppp

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.

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.

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.

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.

This. Was. The. Worst. I ordered 3 cake slices for my friends and myself. Order: 1 reeses cake, 1 oreo cake, 1 strawberry cheesecake, one grape soda. 10 minutes later they call:out of reeses. Sure thats fine, they listed replacement options. I chose a strawberry cheesecake. 5 more minutes later, another call: no grape soda, other option:orange. 2 minutes later: surprise! they're out of that too! So I say forget the soda, just take it off my bill. When my delivery arrives, I'm still paying for the soda. So I argued with the delivery guy for ages. He said they gave us another slice of cake. Which, I really didn't want. But I was sick of them already, so I let it go. Well, one more surprise...I got an oreo cake(correct), a cherry cheesecake(what? maybe the replacement?), another cherry(wtf), and a chocolate cheesecake(really?)...They got 1 item right on the whole order. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! The cakes tasted awful. The cheesecakes felt like they were made of soft mozzarella(ew), and were slightly hard and dry on the edges-gross, means they're old, and the topping was definitely store bought. The oreo cake was the equivalent of two chocolate flavored sponges with overly sweet whipped cream spread thinly between them, topped with more cheap, too-sweet whipped cream and dusted with oreo crumbs. These things were inedible. I wouldn't even let someone who liked them eat them. I still feel sick after having 2 bites of cheesecrap (cheesecake is doing it too much justice), and half of the brown dish sponge. To top it off, I'm pretty sure someone accidentally (or maybe intentionally) spilled cheap coffee in one of the cherry cheesecake's box. Need less to say it was just thrown away. So 1 star? Can I just say that this place is unworthy of the term restaurant? Why they don't close is beyond me. read more
