“I really don’t do Google reviews, but I had to in this case. This may be the best pizza I’ve ever put in my mouth. The crust on mine was thin and crisped to perfection. Not sure of their secret, but whatever they do is SPECIAL. Just the right amount of sauce and cheese, fresh mushrooms, excellent pepperoni. . . Best of all, this was not what my husband and I were expecting AT ALL. We were driving home to NJ after a long day on the road, wanted to stop and eat without doing fast food, but without spending a fortune, so we settled on Bravo Pizza. And it turned out to be a real treat for both of us. I mean, we savored this meal—just kept saying to each other, “This is unusually good, right??” Really wishing we didn’t have to wait for another PA trip to grab a slice!!”

“Went in for dinner on Monday 9-21-26 and we were pleasantly surprised. Dirty Martini and a Fiddlehead IPA. Portobello appetizer was topped with small shrimp, some crab meat and a thin garlic cream. Lite and tasty! The Antipasto salad my GF had was crisp and had plenty of meats and cheese, nice sized portion.. My manicotti and meatballs were good but definitely not homemade. Served hot for sure. Sauce was good. Service was attentive and a bit overboard because they were serving a party and it did take longer to get everything we ordered…as long as they communicate, it’s okay. We don’t get to the area offer but will definitely be back!”

“Update. Im glad we went back that must have been an off day in April. We went today June 8th 2026 It was again incredibly good you can even tell by the added photo it’s a way better product. Will keep updating this but when it is made like it was today this is our fav place. (It was a little burned on one side I know Im a little picky but buying food out cost so much money ☹️) Went about April 5th 2026 for the 1st time it was the best Italian Stromboli! Just got one early May 2026 it had hardly any flavor and little meat no sauce inside of it as stated in the menu. And the bottom taste burned very sad it’s not consistent. definitely will try again and hope they read this. Maybe it be consistent again. 💔 I won’t give up but this wasn’t very good this day.”

“Big shoutout to Giordano’s!! My husband and I had a small courthouse wedding and had about 15 people come to dinner afterwards in one of the private rooms. We were promptly greeted and the manager came in to greet us as well and gave my 2 year old nephew a giant cookie to keep him occupied while we got settled in. All of the staff was very helpful and attentive. They made sure to meet all of our needs and double check that there was no alcohol in one of the entrees sauces and even had it remade to make sure for us. The bartender came over and helped us wrap up our leftover cake so we could save it for our one year anniversary as well. All around a wonderful experience. I haven’t been since before renovations when I worked there and was impressed with all of the updates. It is more modern but still comfortable and the food is absolutely wonderful! As a large group, we ordered quite the variety of entree’s and they were all wonderful! Thank you Gios for a wonderful day my husband and I will never forget!”

“Love the team at Pasquales Pizza in Cochranville! Michael and Peter and the staff are so personable. It's like coming home to a family dinner without having to cook or clean up. The taste of the ole-country is here! If you haven't grabbed a pizza, a cheese steak, a cannoli, from Pasquales, you are missing out on a quintessential Chester County dining experience. Every night doesn't need to be a black-tie affair. Grab your date, and a pizza, and enjoy the best in local casual dining & take-out. The online ordering works pretty well too! <3 Tracey & Drew Cope <3”

“Management is the issue at this location. Three issues. They don't honor their military discount consistently. I have the receipt to prove that they applied the military discount to the desserts on our bill at the end of April (attached). A month later, they tried to not honor the military discount on the desserts. I had to request multiple times that they honor it to get them to do the right thing in the end with too much effort needed on my part. Bill charges don't match the menu. I noticed that their billing system didn't match their new menu on my end of April visit. I in fact confirmed that I was provided the new menu for the record to be sure that I wasn't looking at an older version of the menu. The server, Nina, was great to help me get it resolved at least for that April visit. I was able to get management to modify the prices of the desserts on our bill for this April visit. The bigger issue though is that they had a full month until our next visit to have their billing system match the new menu prices. You can't make this stuff up! They in fact didn't make the necessary changes in their billing system confirmed via interaction with their staff. Our server confirmed that the billing system wasn't modified to match the menu at least with regards to the desserts that we ordered. Both servers further confirmed that manual changes needed to be made to get our bill to reflect the right charges for our desserts. A very disrespectful assumption was made by management when she stated the following to me ... something like I can't believe people come out to restaurants without the ability to pay their bill. That was in fact the gist of her statement to me as I'm paraphrasing but know what she meant. That was not the case for my scenario and a very disrespectful thing to say to any customer. I happen to have an 830 credit score per one of the credit bureaus for good reason. I'm only indicating this not to brag but to defend my reputation for such an inappropriate statement made to me. I consistently pay my obligations and on time. They made that statement to the wrong customer as they've earned this detailed negative review. I simply told them that I would only pay the amount of the bill that we in fact legitimately owed. She didn't like that in this case. My opinion is that she automatically assumed that my request for them to honor the military discount that they state that they offer and should honor as promised was taken as if I didn't have the money to pay my bill. I also legitimately contested their up charge for the french fries that I was offered as a choice with my Italian sub lunch special item. Their lunch special menu sheet indicates at the bottom, "Extra Charges for Additions". While in fairness to the restaurant, menu item #8 for the sub lunch special indicates with chips and doesn't indicate with chips or fries, they need to do better by making it more clear as I didn't have an addition to my order since I wasn't delivered the chips with this particular meal. I was provided the fries instead of the chips. If they want to charge more for certain substitutions (if they even want to offer substitutions), they then need to make it clear on the lunch special menu what that up charge is in those cases. That's their choice whether to offer substitutions. If they're not going to allow for substitutions, they need to indicate that in writing on their lunch special menu as well. In the end, they did credit my bill for my May visit with a dollar amount acceptable which seemed to include the up charge being waived for my lunch special. The main issue is that it took far too much effort to get them to do the right thing. They have lost my business forever. I did in fact offer to pay the up charge for the sub lunch special item shortly before being provided my updated bill. I did this to give them the benefit of the doubt being a fair minded guy due to their #8 sub menu item only listing chips and not chips or frie”
