Pesaro’s Pizza

I live about a mile from this place so its close when I want something delivered. It’s a safe bet that this will be the last time that I order from them.
I get the Family Fest — large one topping pizza, breadsticks, hoagie and two liter of soda. With tax it’s a little over $ 25.00 and with the tip I am spending $ 29.00 for something that’s borderline disgusting. I was craving a fish sandwich and ordered it with the rest of the offerings. What I got was a cut up piece of fish on a slightly toasted bun with rotten lettuce, slimy tomatoes and three small containers of tartar sauce.
It’s always been hit or miss with this place so consistency is an issue. I wish I could post photos of this pathetic excuse of a fish sandwich that they sent me, I’d be ashamed to even wrap it in aluminum foil let alone send it to a customer. I’d call and ask to speak to someone in charge but I doubt that it would change anything. They are located in the heart of Lawrenceville so people settle for «what’s available» but honestly, that’s no way to run a pizza shop. As it stands they are in the same ranks as Supreme Pizza which isn’t saying a lot.

My favorite pizza, great crust, always arrives fresh and hot
Only pizza I eat in Lawrenceville

This spot is located right in the heart of Lower Lawrenceville. Pretty basic pizza place and their prices are reasonable. One of the better pizza places I’ve had when it comes to casual, delivery/​take-​out pizza. They have a large menu, so you can definitely find something you like. Hoagies, salads, wedges, wraps, and lots of options for sides.

First try last night, very good service. They delivered the pizza right at midnight! Great way to start the new year. Fast delivery even for a busy bsy night. I got an extra large pizza, it was pretty good. Price was okay. Very good dough snd cheese. Check it out

The kids like pesaros bacon pizza, and the Italian sub I had was great. The delivery driver did mix up our address but still found us and in a reasonable amount of time. We ordered 3 times without any issues but we are looking for a more exotic pizza.

Finally found a pizza place I liked. Unfortunately, they ruined it for me as they have 0 customer service. I ordered a pizza, when I opened it I discovered it had slid in the box, badly. It was smashed up and looked like lasagna. My neighbor who was eating with us called the store to complain. An employee/​manager authorized a 25% discount for our next order. OK cool. We call to redeem the order. Hassle. Get passed off to another employee, are told they can’t verify it as the named employee wasn’t working and nothing they could do for us. So we said we would order elsewhere. Seriously who calls a pizza place with a fake discount? We were bored and had nothing better to do than scam 25% if I we were scamming we would have said Free you owe us free pizza. Pesaros if you want a better rating on Unilocal (which you should) you can hire me and I’ll teach you and your employees customer service skills. Maybe I’ll even give you a 25% discount on my rate ;). Get it together, then you can win our business back.

IF YOU ORDERED FROM THIS STORE THROUGH GRUB HUB, PLEASE CALL AND COMPLAIN!!! 1−877−585−1085. GRUB HUB GAVE ME A CREDIT, AND SAID MORE PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE THE TIME TO CALL THEM, TOO.
We have ordered from this terrible place more than once. Every time, I ask myself «Why the hell did I do that again???»
Don’t order any of their fried apps: broccoli bites, mozzarella sticks, poppers, etc. I seriously think they dip them in some kind of leftover pizza dough and try to bake it. That’s EXACTLY the taste and consistency. Mushy and tasteless, covered in tasteless doughy stuff. Gross!
For some reason, my boyfriend decided to order from them tonight. We checked their grubhub menu, and ordered a personal calzone and mozzarella sticks. Added 3 toppings to the calzone (pepperoni, mushrooms, broccoli).
We received the order, gross cheese sticks, then I cut into the calzone. NO TOPPINGS!!! Literally just sauce and cheese.
I am not usually the one to complain. I know that pizza places have their moments. I can deal with bacon instead of pepperoni, onions instead of mushrooms, etc. I really don’t mind.
I called Pesaro’s. I just had to. I really felt like I had wasted $ 25. We always tip them $ 5, and they are literally 3 blocks away.
The man on the phone was so completely RUDE! He said since I had already paid (through grubhub), there was nothing they could do. I had paid, and I had only paid for a plain freaking calzone???
I asked him why they didn’t call me??? I could’ve paid the extra $ 3 — $ 5 cash! They didn’t even ask! They didn’t call Grub Hub, who also could’ve called me. He just said «Too Bad» and kept talking over me. I was FURIOUS!!! DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME!!!
They just delivered the worst meal when we are freaking starving!!!
I called Grub Hub, as I felt they needed to know who they are advertising on their site. She said she was calling them and they gave us a $ 10 credit. Yay Grub Hub!!!
Boo this garbage pizza place! Lawrenceville needs more respectable businesses, not these half-​ass businesses moving in trying to take our money!!!

Very prompt service. The food is delicious. The two gentlemen at the counter were very friendly.
The portions are enormous for the price! We were extremely satisfied!

Pizza is good… don’t order any of the appetizers. .they were terrible… so was the fish sandwich… if you’re going to order anything… make it pizza and nothing else

We got wings here. They were decent, i didn’t have a problem with them at all. But the service was horrible.
We ordered ahead of time and showed up at the time we were told (about 20 min). We were told it would be five more minutes because the wings needed to be «sauced». We then saw the wings being put into the oven. They had not even been started. It was not busy in there. There were FOUR people «working», but three of them were standing around talking while one did everything.
We had also used a coupon, which we had told them over the phone as requested, but we were rung up without the coupon. When the coupon was mentioned, they very quickly deducted the amount without question, which made it seem like they knew very well about it, but were just trying to see if they could get it past us. I may be reading too much into that, it could have been an honest mistake, but that was my impression. Maybe I was just irritated after waiting for my whole order to be made after calling it in ahead of time when they clearly were not busy (and had plenty of people working that were not doing anything.
I would definitely not order from here without a coupon, the prices were a bit high for standard takeout wings.

My mom visits me for pizza. Perhaps there are other reasons such as my charming personality or birthright, but the fact that Pesaro’s can be delivered to my apartment entices her a bit more.
Prices aren’t the cheapest, but are pretty comparable for the area. A fan of the fact that you can order
Today we went the online ordering route which always estimates a longer delivery time, but I was pleased at the time it took to be delivered. I also appreciated that tonight’s delivery man wasn’t smoking which I have had happen to me before (first I don’t want my food to smell/​taste like smoke second if you are having trouble juggling a reciept/​pen and pizza you shouldn’t add something else into the equation).
As we normally do we went the make your own pizza today opting for a white pizza with hot peppers and meat. The number of toppings is impressive and welcomed considering we pay for them individually. The pizza was so hot you would have thought they cooked it on the way down Butler Street. Only complaint if it was entirely too greasy — like leaked through the box + paper towels and left a puddle on my table.
Stand by and safe bet if you need a pizza from the neighborhood.

First time ordering from the Lawrenceville store. Yuck. This place better re-​evaluate their ingredients and taste standards because it was just blah. The Sicilian pizza crust was terrible and there was hardly any sauce on the pizza. There are so many better places in the area, especially Bloomfield. Try Frank’s also in Millvale. Amazing.

We’ve been ordering from here for at least five years. The most recent deliveries have taken an excessive amount of time. Tonight we placed the order at 10:25pm. The driver called us at 11:03 saying he was on the 62^nd street bridge and asking where we lived in Shaler. The only problem is we live in Lawrenceville… Off of Stanton. It’s now 11:37 and still no order. We should have picked it up, I’d be in bed by now. The pizza better be hot, but I have a feeling it won’t be.

I ordered Pesaro’s last week and it was great. I know a lot of other people have had bad experiences, but I really loved it. We got a large pizza with black olives and extra cheese. It was cooked perfectly, delicious and it got here in a reasonable amount of time with no problems. I’ll try it again soon and hope that my opinion doesn’t change!

The mozzarella cheese sticks were not cooked and taste horrible. The honey bar b que bites were burnt, soft textured and no flavor. The buffalo chicken was completely gross and the chicken was cold as ice. The pizza lacked flavor, cheese was cheap with opened canned tomato sauce. WILL NEVER EAT FROM THEM AGAIN. A COMPLETE DISASTER AND WASTE OF MONEY

Sucked, ordered a BBQ Chicken Sicilian pizza and they gave me a regular. There was no BBQ sauce in it. The seafood calzone had more bread and grease then actual meat. And the service was shit. No more from me.

It seems that others have had problems with deliveries, however I have only picked up orders here before. Pizzas have been quickly made and ready by the time I arrived. The quality and pizza prices are right-​down-​the-​road average in my opinion. I would recommend trying it sometime.

Won’t be ordering from here again. The delivery man was rude because they transposed my address. I, very nicely, assured the man that I gave the correct address and again he shoved the receipt in my face wanting an apology. I know this looks like a scorned review — but the pizza actually earned 2 stars on it’s own. WAY too greasy and just okay tasting. I was really hopeful I’d have a better experience since this place is in the neighborhood. Oh well, you live and learn.

When I’m of sound mind, I tend to disapprove of competitive eating for a number of reasons, but a certain co-​worker who knows of my huge appetite kept challenging me to a contest involving pizza. After telling him «No» many, many times, I found myself tricked into it once someone decided that it would be a fun way to raise money for a disabled co-​worker.
We each had 20 minutes to eat as many slices of Pesaro’s pizza that we could. I managed to down 7. My big-​mouthed colleague did 8.
Yes, the finish was controversial. My opponent chose smaller slices, than mine, and therefore I still contend that I consumed more pizza than he. I burned the roof of my mouth (no one counted for the pizza’s heat) and almost choked on the thick, chewy cuts of dough, but it was done to serve a good end.
People pledged money based on how many pieces were devoured, and by the following work day, the two of us had raised over $ 500 for the individual in question, and with so much pizza left over, everyone was victorious.
I’m done with eating contests, though. Ooof! That was tough.

Just ordered from here. Had my order delivered and got to try an original calzone with mushrooms, pizza with garlic butter sauce (no marinara) with broccoli, and a pizza with their marinara and mushrooms. The pizza crust was fluffy and a very satisfying consistency — if that’s the sort of pizza you like. It’s not my favorite and I’m sure that has something to do with lackluster review. Regardless, cheese was plentiful and everything looked as though someone paid some attention to it.
I was unimpressed by their sauce. Keep in mind I had a cup of it on the side of the calzone that allowed me to get a pretty clear impression. It’s boring and thin. I don’t think it has any redeeming qualities. The mushroom pizza was cheesy and it was piping hot. Nothing spectacular though. The broccoli pizza with the garlic butter sauce was the most disappointing. The garlic butter sauce was easily as boring as the marinara. How is that possible?! Not sure I tasted butter, but the box was pretty greasy so it might have been in there. Definitely not any garlic in there though. Boring. Boring. Boring.
I’m new to Pittsburgh and I’m still learning my way around the pizza joints. I recommend Caliente if you like thicker, fluffier crusts. I still have a lot of places to try and I hope I won’t be coming back around to Pesaro’s Pizza any time soon, or never. I think never would be okay.
