The food here is great. The staff is super nice and attentive. 32oz Yuengling drafts are $5. We were reluctant to stop in because the place wasn’t busy but we are glad we did. This place should be way more popular than it is. The neighborhood is super cool too. I don’t get it. Two thumbs up from us.

We waited ten minutes to be sat (the hostess was nowhere to be seen), even though the inside was empty. After we were finally directed to sit down, it took the waitress a while to stop by and ask for our order. The daily specials were appealing, including a few select half-priced appetizers, though the meatballs were about average tasting. We had the Carmen pizza; you could taste the garlic (yum), but the underside was overcooked. There was a nice selection of wine, with half-priced bottles on Thursdays. When I asked for a sweet red, the waitress suggested a dry, so I ended up picking out a glorious sweet Lambrusco myself. She asked a customer to open our bottle for us contrary to opening it at our table. Maybe the experience depends on the day?

I ordered 1x Deluxe Pizza 16'' (12 Slices) for $27.50. The pizza is soft, the dough isn't cooked enough, the cheese is way to thick and it just lifts off the pizza, the pizza sauce has no flavor. I had to throw mine in the convection oven to try and cook it more. I don't recommend getting pizza from here save yourself the trouble and go to 4am pizza right down the street. Check out the photos. They also only cut the pie into 9 slices it's suppose to be 12. Again THE PIZZA IS LITERALLY DOUGHY ITS NOT FULLY COOKED.

We went to Sainato’s the other day. Had heard that they had a Monday offer on their pizzas and decided to give it a try. It was such a great discovery! We decided to build our own pizzas with the toppings that we wanted which was great, I always love to make it a as veggie as possible and the results were delicious! The pizzas were extremely tasty and we thought we were going to have leftovers but that didn’t happen at all! We ate the whole thing because they were extremely addictive! So I Highly recommend trying them on Mondays for sure ! Also, the service was very good and we had a great experience there with them!

Great bar pie! 8 out of 10 Meatballs were good. 7 out of 10 Waitress was phenomenal! 10 out of 10 I asked for a thin crust and they delivered. This was my first time here after finding out my corner store buddy Dave has partnered up with this restaurant.
