7 reviews for Pete's Famous Pizza Restaurant
This is like my last desperate pizza place that I call to deliver because I forget how boring the food is and and I'm too lazy to go from Brewerytown to Luigis (which for some reason doesn't deliver .5 miles away).
I still order from here, and for the most part everything is just mediocre. From the subs to the poppers its all just bland. The pizza crust reminds me of the prefab ones you can buy at the supermarket and the slices are usually very greasy.
One time I went there to get a cheesesteak (much better than their pizzas) and a girl complained because there was glass in her sandwich.
Despite all this, for some reason, I still order food from here. Why?
My husband and I enjoy the pizza here. Its crispy which is a nice change once in a while. It is not your standard chewy flat pizza crust but it isn't thick crust. It has a bit of the texture of a thick crust pizza but in a thin crust. We love the Greek Pizza with anchovies and the Hawaiian Pizza with ham and Pineapple. The pizzas do run a little small but they are good. The owners and staff are friendly. Its a nice neighborhood choice.
Ordered and the wait wasn't long. Folks were kind of rude and chick liked to stare, annoying. I got a cheese for me and pepperoni for my sis. Long story short: my sister wasn't impressed and neither was I.
This place is just fine. Nothing special but not bad either. Club sandwiches are really good, but the chips that come with it are the greasiest and are usually all smashed crumbs. I know a lot of people don't care for the pizza, but it's fine. They are really slow here, even for cold sandwiches I always like to call well in advance of when I will be picking up. The salads are really boring, but the chicken caesar comes with a mountain of chicken, and I like that they pre-butter the rolls with way more butter than I would ever allow myself to have otherwise.
I mean, it'll do. It's not particularly great, but I will say that they put a crapload of veggies on their veggie pizza, which is nice. The delivery was fairly fast, though the "large" pizza was kind of piddly for the price. Pete's will pass in a pinch, but I'm still on the lookout for something better.
Used to go here every Friday, was a great little pizza shop. New owner or manager took over and killed it. Dough sucks now, pizza tastes like it was microwaved, smaller sizes, less toppings, higher prices. Counter Service generally slow, sat one time for 1/2 hour waiting for a pizza while people came in and ordered and left, finally figured out she never put my order in.
Will never go back again, it's a shame, it's the closest place to my house.
I've ordered delivery from this place a couple of times. I can't promise that I won't eat here again, but I wouldn't bet on it.
It's not that bad, standard local pizza/subs/Italian food place. The menu is cheap, and you can find some thrifty daily specials. The food quality is nothing to write Yelp about, but I've had worse.
The delivery was speedy, but I live a few blocks away.
One note, they do have a two pizzas for $11 special (or something like that) on Sundays. It's not a bad weekend option if you need to feed a lot of people with edible pizza, and you don't want to walk anywhere.
