Baldini’s

Our favorite pizza place in the area! The staff is very friendly and nice. The service is efficient. We were new to the area so we had tried it on a whim. They always exceed our expectations!

Ok so I’m here in Norristown for a friend’s wedding and she knows I looove cheesesteak! I live in NC and my husband and I took our honeymoon in Philadelphia and had a cheesesteak at a different place every day, that’s how deep my love for steaks are. Wit wiz, plz.
Anyway. My friend recommended this place because they have garlic bread cheesesteaks. We arrived at the place and yeah, it looked a little shady but I’ve learned from experience that you can’t judge a book by its cover.
We walked in and looked at a menu, even though we both knew what we came for. They have a great selection of food! We ordered garlic bread steaks — the husband got his plain (steak and cheese), I got mine with onion, mushrooms and hot peppers.
The gentleman who took our order and cooked the steaks brought them to us and MAN, they were the best things I have ever eaten! Crispy, buttery, garlicky bread! Tender meat! Just enough cheese! Sokol good. I can’t say enough good things about it!
I can’t speak for any other food choices but the friendly service and delicious garlic bread steak is enough for me to visit this place again the next time we make out way back up to the area.

Meh. I’ve had better, I’ve had worse. Pick and choose from the menu to find what you like. Some of the stuff is spot on, some needs to be banished forever. If you live close, they are a convenient place to go for well priced, average tasting take out.

The food is good quality and priced better than Pudges, and the employees are some of the best people you’ll ever meet!

If you like pink slime in your hamburgers, you have come to the right place. In response to Brenda J’s review, you mention the burger was a «nice size… and juicy» there is a bed at Norristown State Hospital with your name on it.
The restaurant recently decided to redo the store front façade. The interesting part is that there is still never more than 2 cars in the parking lot at any given time. The interior is so dirty. Benches are sticky, floor is dirty and the soda fountain machine looks disgusting. It’s like «putting lipstick on a pig.»
There is never a fully stocked soda cooler and they leave pizza sitting out on the counter, not under a lamp to keep warm. If you want to learn how food born bacteria is born, Baldini’s definitely has the cold pizza for you. And no, putting the slice in the pizza oven isn’t going to kill the bacteria either. Heck, there is a sign hanging from a fantasy football draft that the owner never took down from years ago. You know it’s bad when your wall décor includes a fantasy draft board… And the bathroom… your hands would be cleaner if you didn’t wash them at the sink.
The owner gets pissed at you when you call him after delivering a pink burger. He shouts over the phone and says that he cooked the burger on the grill for 15 minutes. Now, I’m not Robert Irvine, but most burgers would be overcooked after 15 minutes. Either their grill isn’t working or the burger filler, unlike Snapple, is not made from the best stuff on Earth.
The pizza was ok in the beginning, but the quality has definitely suffered over recent years. I think the ultimate joke is how the pizza restaurant closes by 9pm on a Friday! Most thriving pizza joints are open until midnight or later on a Friday night, but not Baldini’s.
If you want some alternate dining options… try Kosmos, Chaps or just buy your own grill for the burgers.
Another place to avoid is Christine’s on Egypt Road. They actually draw less of a crowd than Baldini’s, not exactly setting the bar high here. It took us literally 2 hours to be served breakfast and get our check. Glad to see this place is closed and under new ownership. The clothing donations box was the only attraction at Christine’s.

Yesterday I was craving buffalo garlic wings and a hamburger and since this place is nearby and I haven’t stopped in for a while; I thought I try it out again. I was pleasantly surprised with the wings (I’m pretty picky). The wings were a decent size and a good amount of garlic (you can see the minced bits). They were better the day after.
They cook the hamburger one way; well but the burger was a nice size (it overlapped the bun) and juicy. It looked as if it was a hand pressed patty which I appreciate more.
They also re-​painted the outside of the building and installed new seating and flooring inside. The staff is still kind and pleasant. Give it a try!

Very greasy, nothing else really saves it.

I live close but haven’t been here in awhile. Prices are low and the pizza was average. I agree that the place could be a bit more tidy.

Good food overall. The consistency of the food needs to be improved. Pizza is good… overall the prices are decent and comparable to other places in the area.

The pizza is average pizza. The cheesesteaks are decent. The staff is super friendly and that counts for a lot!

I’m torn. The people are seriously nice, but the place is pretty dirty. I was about to wash my hands in the bathroom before I ate, but when I saw how dirty the door was I decided that my hands were probably cleaner as they were and backed away.
The pizza is okay, it’s a nice quiet space overall, and I love that they usually have newspapers to read, but I agree with the other reviews about the cleanliness – and at least some of the crud could be cleaned up quickly and easily (like the bathroom door and the tabletops).

This place is a dump! We went in hungry for a slice of pizza real quick in and out. My first thought after walking in was we should just walk back out. That would have been the best thing to do.
So, we decided to stay despite our best judgement. There was a woman behind the counter cooking with a man. There was a delivery driver sitting in one of the booths and another man that was just pacing back and forth in front of the counter that looked special needs (not to be mean, but that’s what he was).
No one offered to help us or offer us a menu. We found paper menus tucked next to the register, took one and sat down at a booth. No one came to wait on us, so we went to the counter and ordered a small buffalo chicken pizza and a personal cheese pizza. The tabletop of the booth was white vinyl and felt sticky. It was the cleanest spot available, though. The other tables were loaded with crumbs and stains but there was on one in the joint. The floor was stained and sticky. The ceiling tiles looked like they were going to fall at any second. They were mostly stained and bowed out like there was some sort of water damage.
We waited there for like 25 minutes for our pizzas. When they were ready, the woman said you’re all set and didn’t even bring them to the booth. I went up to pay for them, had to ask for paper plates (the pizzas were in to-​go boxes). I decided to get a drink from the cooler (thought it might be safe) but it didn’t look like they had a delivery of drinks for months. They had very old looking 2 liter bottles of orange and grape soda … random. The smaller bottles were a few diet cokes and the rest were old flavored sodas. No water and no diet. It was strange. The coolers looked dirty and felt sticky too.
So, as you can see — the cleanliness was non existent. The cheese pizza was lacking flavor. The sauce was bland and the dough was undercooked and had no flavor as well. It was thin crust and very floppy. The buffalo chicken pizza my fiancée ordered was interesting. Shredded chicken with clumps of blue cheese dressing here and there. We ate a few slices because we were hungry. When we were done, we took our to-​go-​box and couldn’t find any trash in the restaurant. So, we took the box outside and put it in the dumpster. LOL.
If you are in the mood for pizza — keep driving by and DO NOT STOP here. Order papa john’s delivery instead. it’ll be much better. LOL.
Please — fellow Unilocalers … suggest some pizza joints for us because we haven’t found a good one in the area yet!

I love being a regular here! The staff is so friendly! The pizza is very good. I like to order a pepperoni cheesesteak on garlic bread. It is deliciously unhealthy in the best of ways. The onion rings and fries are good, too.

Good pizza that stays together and tastes good. Fries are pretty good. Chicken fingers are tasty. Three stars feels a bit stingy, but four feels a bit generous. I really want half stars. I’ll add another star if our next experience is good.

Their pizza, calzones, and chicken wings are delicious! The staff are really nice and got to know us by sight within visiting them three times. We live right down the road and we really just have to say the first few house numbers and they know who we are! So, very personable and delicious food!
