"Late last night a friend and I went to Pietro's for pizza , a place we've been going to for many years. I can only speak to their pizza, as it's the only item we've ever ordered but It's very good pizza. I grew up in NY and NY is known for it's pizza(some of the best in the USA) and Pietro's isn't quite up to that standard but it is great pizza. We always load ours up with 3different meats and last night it was loaded. They also allowed us to do half tomato sauce for me and half white/garlic saucefor my friend. He loved his but did feel it was a bit heavy on the garlic. If you love garlic, get their white sauce. He alsoordered a Cannoli which was heaven. I would normally give this place 5 stars, never had a bad meal there and the service isalways excellent. Our server was attentive and extremely nice, everyone there is. The problem is this place has decided toimplement a policy I've only encountered once before, of charging credit card customers more for their meal. I was a littlesurprised to see this on the check, it worked out to be about a 4% added charge to the bill. I had not seen this on the frontdoor or the menu, maybe it's there and I had not noticed, but it detracted from the entire experience. Carrying cash is becomingless and less popular and I know credit card companies are charging businesses enormous fees on their end, but some places justraise their prices, our meal was not cheap, so seeing another charge on top of the tax was a bit much. I don't agree with thispolicy, or in other eateries an automatic tip added . Eating out becomes more and more expensive and in the end it only meanspeople eat out less and less."

"I was truly truly impressed with the speed and service of the takeout here. The guy prepping takeout had so much hustle, and had my to go order ready in less time than the online ordering projected, even when I ordered two separate orders because I had forgotten something. It's an incredibly well run shop, with great front and back communication that allows them to work so fast. First, my tiramisu it was excellent. It was already prepped and ready for a last minute add to my order. My ceaser salad was perfectly fine. But the minestrone soup wasn't minestrone. It was a cabbage, zucchini, broth veggie soup that reminded me of the cabbage soup diet recipe. Although I slurped it all up because the broth was that good. The reality is, their food tastes no different than prepacked Italian food you buy in the grocery store frozen section which might explain how they had it ready so fast. My creamy tortellini with ham and mushrooms was yummy, and my meat sauce for my spaghetti was good and tasted like my favorite jarred sauce. But the meatballs were ultra salty and tasted like preservatives, as was my husband's chicken for his chicken parmesan. We couldn't say enough good things as we picked it up super quickly, and their combo was a great deal but once we ate everything, we decided we could make better Italian food ourselves at home. That said, if you are in a huge hurry or never cook yourself, then I do recommend these guys run a tight ship with great prices."
