“THE BEST PIZZA ,AND SUBS“

“food is always great. owner Steve knows all his customers by his/her name. Great business and very kind and positive owner.“

“Went into dine in and took my name and number and told us that it would a half hour wait to go back to our car then we waited an hour and 20 minutes and still never called us and within that time they took 5 families right in and seated them. 😡 Especially when I had my child to feed and then had to go somewhere else to wait even longer because was basically lied to and forgot about. Won't be back!“

“Awesome food! He definitely knows what he's doin!“

“Great chicken salad, everything was fresh and delicious!! Place was clean.. I will be back!“

“The absolute best way to go!“

“I was in town for a family reunion. I was looking for some pizza. I ordered from this establishment and to my delight I had chose the perfect pizza. I told my other family members and they offered from this place as well. Plus some of my family from Altoona liked the pizza so they’ll be ordering from this place in the future. I’ll definitely be ordering in future visits. Thank you so much for making great pizzas.“

“Best pizza in the area by far, polite and fast customer service and prepare time!“

“The absolute best way to go!“

“This Dino’s pizza location is the original place and in my opinion it is the best slice of pizza you can get in Altoona if you like New York thin Italian style. Always very friendly people working at this one, always great pizza, and always great service.“

“Sal's, Is The Only Place You Should Be Eating AT. Simply The Best“

“Anima Tronics arcade games“

“Don't get me wrong, the food is amazing, but I ordered over the phone & I asked for a pizza steak sub & other things. I Asked for the dressing on the side because we were bringing it home. Dressing wasn't even in the bag with the entire order & there were 2 subs. We repeated, dressing on the side numerous times. The dressing is fabulous & a compliment to the sub with flavor. I sent my Grandson to pick up. This happens a lot. I've got the entire wrong order before too. Whoever answers the phone & takes the order needs to get it right. I shouldn't have to check each thing when I pick it up. Very frustrating to find when your already home.“

“love this place. they got some of the greatest subs and good pizza. very friendly. these people are amazing!“

“Just passing through, and how great was this stop! The food was awesome if not excellent. We had the adult grill cheese and the Cajun pasta. Both, phenomenal! We started off with the devilled eggs, which are a must try, though the brussels sprouts smelled great too. Our bartender Ashley was great, friendly with great suggestions.“

“My husband and I love this place we stop in almost every time we’re in Altoona they’re the best“

“First time ordering from Hungry Howie’s and it was great!“

“THE 2-2-7!

…….Thats what I call the excellent deal they have on 2 dozen wings at Nardo’s Cafe!

So I was in the area at a close by stationary and copy service center when Nardo’s was recommended. So I walked on over. And as I approached the door I saw a sign that said, “Try our lemon pepper wings”.

Right then and there I knew that there was something special about the cooks taste and abilities! And, in hindsight, one would think that lemon pepper wings would be a common offering. But, despite being familiar with traditional lemon pepper chicken, this was actually the first time I ever saw it offered as American Cafe style wings.

So I waked in and placed a lunch order. Though not for the wings that day. And I did strike up a conversation with the chef about the wings.

Instantly it became clear that this cook was passionate about, knowledgeable and skilled at his craft. And, during the course of the discussion, he mentioned a 2 dozen wings for $27 deal.

So I promised to return in the future to place an order. And it was only a few days till I returned to buy the wings.

I decided on the 2 dozen for $27 deal. And this price is on par and somewhat better than most establishments. Especially considering today’s economy. And an economy which, despite the valiant efforts of late, still may take a little more time to recover once the dust settles from the much needed regime change.

Anyhow, I arrived on time so as to get my wings as hot as possible. And one must consider that, if you are not dining in, you really should be punctual about arriving at the exact time scheduled to pick up your food.

And, to those that are thoroughly ignorant of food sciences, know this: Gravity and condensation are factors that affect hot foods placed in modern take out containers.

This means that, if you take your good old time to pick up an order, sauces can travel to the bottom of the foil and pool. And, in addition, water condensation can also accumulate on the upper surface of modern styrofoam take out containers. Thus, after sufficient time, one could conceivably knock loose that condensation to unwittingly dilute sauces that, again, gravitated toward the foil.

….. thats my personal opinion anyway.

But, as I spoke to the cook for the second time, I perceived that he understood well the genre of the American Cafe, the ins & outs of the business and that, at times, you simply cannot please all of the people all of the time.

But, as for me, I was very pleased with the wings. I got the lemon pepper wings and their hottest offering…..the “Pray for rain”.

Both of these are excellent in flavor and texture. But don’t take my word for it. Go to Nardo’s Cafe and, no pun intended, Judge for Yourself!“

“Only my second time at Dino's and I will be a regular from now on. The chicken parm pizza was the best I've ever had and has made me think about it for days since I've been there. Highly recommend for the delicious food, hilarious staff, and great vibes.“

“I love this restaurant. Its worth spending a little more then budget. Great quality, always as expected! Thank you“

“I had a chicken bacon flatbread at Heritage plaza on Monday and it was so good. Jen was very friendly and made such a good chocolate peanut butter cupcake! I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a place to eat“

“It was busy and we didn't have any reservation but they seated us at the bar, the bartender was impressive he knew everything and really friendly. We shared the Mozza Caprese and the Lasagna (day special), simply impressive the salad was simply heavenly the cheese was just perfect and the subtle cherry tomatoes perfected it, then the 7 layer lasagna comes by... over the top! My husband is a Lasagna lover and she said it was one of the best ones she has ever had. For the desert with had one with shaved coffee ice and coffee gelato just to put the cherry on top of the sundae... great meal! Two thumbs up!“

“We won't be dining in anymore. If we ever decide to eat, I'll just do a pick up. The younger workers were polite and the older ones seemed miserable. The lady running the cashier made me feel like a burden when I got there. Didn't greet me, just stared until I said what I wanted. We said thank you to the older guy that delivered our pizza and just completely ignored us. However, I noticed when a gentleman and his son were there she was really friendly to them. So I'm assuming it was just me and my family.“

“Lovely restaurant, very friendly staff. Gill was great and the food is amazing! Definitely will be back again and would recommend in a heartbeat“

“I ordered the marinara pizza and added their cashew cheese. There were slices of garlic rather than minced garlic, which was still delicious but also new to me. The cashew cheese wasn't stretchy/melty, but instead more like a ricotta or something in texture. Didn't bother me, but I figured I would mention it. I enjoyed my pizza. Not only that, but I ordered some sort of lavender drink (I may have modified it without alcohol, if that matters) and our server was kind enough to let me check to see if the lavender syrup was vegan.“

“I stopped by just on a last minute thought and ordered a pepperoni pizza because the wife was out of town and I'm not much of a cook. My pizza was already ready. Now I wouldn't say it's the best pizza in town, but it was quick and just what I needed. Good job Little Caesars!!

Kid-friendliness: Kind, friendly and quick staff“

“The service is always nice, and the pizza is always delivered on time. I wouldn't eat it there obviously but the pizza is always great. They're a little more pricey than other pizza places but the pizza is always worth it. The crust is always great and the cheese and sauce always stay on the slice when you're eating it. Their bread sticks are also awesome and I really recommend their stuffed crust. The pizza is never greasy too so if you're looking for quality the extra price is definitely worth it. Plus they always seem to bundle a deal so it seems like the staff isn't trying to make you pay anything unnecessary which is great.“

“I ordered the perfect combo and the food was sooo delicious ? I'm very picky when it comes to food! First place I ordered from that definitely DELIVERED!! I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND! I CAN'T WAIT TO ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN! 100% SATISFIED!!!“

“Overall, a great Altoona bar for mixed drinks, shots and bar food - clean bar top and attentive bartenders. If you don’t smoke this is not the bar for you. There’s a bar, the next door over that’s owned by the same owners that’s a great non-smoking option (Zach’s). Regardless of which, if a PA team is playing they’re showing it on several television angles within the bar. There’s an ATM, cash only cigarette machine, and several lottery machines at your disposal.“

“Great tasting food, prices are the best around, especially for the amount of food!“

“Mamas is always fantastic, call and check the hours though occasionally they have changed. Avoid the big chains and support this local gem. The atmosphere is great but because of its great food and service frequently very busy both in house and delivery“

“We came in on 5/2/25. Our waitress Cassie was superb! She knew the menu and was knowledgeable on the craft draft beers. She was very attentive also. I included pictures of our food. The sampler was a build your own. We had wings, southwestern egg rolls, and quesadilla. We also ordered the PGH style cheese steak. Everything was delicious! The sampler could have been a bit warmer in temp. Thats why I didn't give 5 stars. 4.5 more like it. Lol, We will be back.“

“Just had a fantastic little pizza from OIP and wanted to share! I ordered a small pie with extra cheese and extra pepperoni, and it was exactly what I was craving.

The pizza was perfectly cooked – the crust was nice and crisp on the bottom, but still soft and chewy on top. The extra cheese was melted to perfection and gave that wonderful, gooey pull with every bite. And the extra pepperoni? Delicious! There was just the right amount of spice and it was clearly good quality pepperoni, not the cheap stuff.

Honestly, it was the perfect comfort food. It hit the spot after a long day. The service was friendly and the pizza was ready quickly. I'll definitely be ordering from OIP again soon. If you're looking for a classic, well-made pizza, give them a try – especially if you're a cheese and pepperoni lover like me! Highly recommended!“

“First time eating at Dino's. We called in an order for a large pepperoni pizza (with onions and mushrooms), an order of mozzarella sticks, an order of onion rings, and the combo steak hoagie (large with no green/bell peppers, add, mayo and lettuce). We were very pleased with our order and the helpful staff. My mother walks with a cane and when she went in to get the order, they walked it out for her. Thank you staff! The food was delicious. The steak hoagie is the best I've had since moving to the area 12 years ago. I've tried a lot of steak hoagies at other places and they were not nearly as good. The meat-to-bun ratio was perfect and it was very filling. The bun wasn't soggy with grease and had great flavor and a nice chew. The onion rings were great. They were not soggy and had great beer batter crunch, the same for the mozzarella sticks. We got a large pizza and it was HUGE. The crust had such good flavor. My only complaint would be that they did not put enough pepperoni on it to sufficiently cover the real estate. They could be a bit more generous with the toppings. Pricing at Dino's is on par with other places in the area. I found I spent the same amount there as I did placing an order to Dominos, the difference being I got a lot more food from Dino's. For what I paid to get a large pepperoni pizza (bigger than anything Dominos serves and better tasting), mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and a really good large steak hoagie, I paid Dominos for a large pepperoni pizza, 2 salads and a brownie. The steak and cheese at Dominos can't even compare to Dino's. I'll be going back to Dino's in the future.“

“Love their pizza and plain breadsticks ! I wish the breadsticks were cheaper though“

“The food was so good I definitely recommend“
