Review from D. J. H.

You're sure to find decent wings in almost any area of the country, if you know where to look. Tucked away in a Pennsburg, PA shopping center is unassuming sports bar and Italian restaurant Pizza Como. A dozen wings fit the bill for an appetizer to share. Talk about variety, their menu listed TWENTY different sauces (look at their menu online), but, being it was my first visit, I would gauge their wings according to the standard Buffalo. A brief consultation with our server revealed that the Hot is pretty hot for most people, and that, in fact, they were out of the Suicide sauce.
The wings were brought out piping hot, but rather dry, with little sauce to be seen. Upon closer inspection there was indeed a coating of sauce, but I was in the mood for them a littler drippier. We were provided extra sauce, which made all the difference. The wings were a proper medium-size, crunchy (but not overly so) on the outside, and properly cooked on the inside. Their Hot was actually a proper hot. If you like your sauce hot, you'd find these are accurate in their description. I regret not being able to test how hot the Suicide sauce was, but that will have to wait until a future visit.
Definitely recommended. -

Have eaten here a few times (both takeout and dine in) and I have to echo what another reviewer said in that the service here can be pretty bad at times. Quite frankly the first time I came here I was treated so rudely, usually the kiss of death for me, that I'm surprised I ever stepped foot in this place again. Most likely it's because all the following times we went here was because we were with friends and the restaurant was their choice. Anyway, the service we had the last time we were here (dine in) was the worst ever and SO BAD that it's doubtful we'll ever step foot in this place again.
This last time we came here for late mid-afternoon lunch on a weekend and even though the restaurant was mostly empty save for 4 other tables and there were a number of servers around it took FOREVER to get everything - initial order, drinks, appetizer, drink refills, our sandwiches, the bill, it was a good 15-20 minutes in between anything. Our waitress acted like this was all just business as usual - no comment about the super long wait times. We were a party of four that only got drinks, appetizers and sandwiches in a mostly empty restaurant and we were in our seats for 2 HOURS! Not by choice I might add. That's just ridiculous.
The food here is pretty hit or miss in my opinion. Some decent stuff and some just so-so. I do think they have excellent cheese steaks if that's your thing. Unfortunately the service is sometimes ok and sometimes downright terrible, at least based on my experiences in the 4 times I've eaten here. I don't know about the owners, but it's almost as if the common vibe of this restaurant among the wait staff is, "this is how it is....don't like it, go somewhere else.' -

Let me start off by saying that the food at Pizza Como is above average and their menu selection is decent.
That being said, their service and CUSTOMER service is abhorrent!
We have been their numerous times because we like the food but have stopped going because 1: the prices on the menu ARE NOT the prices you pay! And they don't care. They simply say "our prices fluctuate because of the economy" -- I'm sorry, but that is NOT a good enough reason to not post accurate pricing or at the very least put notes in the menus saying that the prices have changed. There is NO warning until you get your check. And when I questioned it, the waitress told me there is a sign on the counter saying that prices MAY change. No offer was made to meet the printed price -- so I took it out of her tip.
2. When I asked to sit in a specific area because of a large group that was very noisy, I was told they could not do that.
So, because they seem to charge whatever prices they want to -- we no longer go there. And I suggest to others that until PC posts accurate pricing that you don't go either... you may end up being charged $15 for somethign that says $12.50 on the menu!
Buyer beware!!! -

This place has a large menu, and standard food. I knew I shouldn't expect much when my bruschetta came out and it was on a hoagie roll, a hoagie roll! I mean it's a pizza place they can't even use Italian bread? It has a large wrap around bar, tons of tvs, not much for decor or imagination. It's a local bar, what more can you expect? The owners are very pompous, and for that reason and my negative last experience- I will not be going back to this place.

Hip Hip Hooray for the PC Pub. My lova introduced me and now each time we visit we always stop in to say hello. It's a fantastic place in the valley to get good old fashion za. The staff is always super friendly and they tend to have great live music, at least during the holidays.

I have tried this place a few times. The new restaurant is HUGE.
They have a huge bar and cater to the bar crowd. If you are going there just for dinner be prepared to wait a LONG time, even for pizza - also be prepared to have really rude waitresses and horrible service.
This has been my experience the few times I have frequented the joint - I've never been back and don't plan to go again.
(I took my extended family here when they were in town and I was embarrassed by how bad our experience was). -

I have been going here for years and love it here. They have the biggest menu selection in the area and have very good food. I have NEVER gotten abhorrent customer service here. I will say that at times it CAN take a bit longer than say, other smaller pizza joints, but that is because EVERYTHING IS MADE TO ORDER and is fresh. Nothing is pre-made here, so I think it's worth a couple extra minutes. If you got the bruschetta on a hoagie roll, it's only because they ran out of their normal bread. They usually get bread delivered from Conshy bakery daily and do not normally use hoagie rolls for bruschetta. One user below stated they thought the people that work there always have the attitude that "if you don't like it, go somewhere else"... but I don't think that's fair if you didn't say something to management about it (instead of just assuming that's what they'd say).
You are right about the fact that the menu prices SHOULD reflect the actual price on the check, but unfortunately you punished the messenger (the waitress), not the person who told her to say that and made the rule in the first place. And thankfully, the entire restaurant is now non-smoking so no worries there. I'd say Pizza Como/PC Pub is a great place to eat, a family business for 30+ years with a clean and modern atmosphere (It's been newly renovated and has a HUGE 40-seater bar). Weekend nights are fun - always have well-known bands on weekends. Cover charge is $7pp, but you do get a Free Domestic Draft or $2.50 off a mixed drink w/ that price, so it actually turns out to be cheaper than the old $5 cover when they were in the old place. -

We just went there with my niece and nephew, a little smoky even in the non-smoking section. Bar and restaurant, local bands paly, although none the night we were there. The pizza ia good and the meatball parm sub was really good. We will definitely go back again.

Been eating here for 25 years. Still great pizza owned by the same family. Still same great quality, taste, flavor, sauce crust and rolls. Best pizza in the Valley by far.
