Highlights on the menu included the Prime Rib, Stuffed Chicken breast, and augratin potatoes.

Everyone left very happy with both the food and service.

Great Job !“

“My family & I had dinner here for Mother’s Day & everything was really good! The Cacio E Pepe was delicious! I had the chocolate cannoli for dessert & it was to die for! The Espresso Martini & Long Island were perfectly made! By far, the BEST ones I’ve ever had. Service was also great!“

“Lenzis never disappoints! Fresh food daily, huge portions, reasonably priced“

“My wife and I ate here while we were visiting Pittsburgh and the food is absolutely delicious. My wife got the lasagna while I got the chicken parm and both dishes were absolutely spectacular. My wife is still raving about the lasagna, saying it's the best she's ever had. The service is great, the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and take care of you like you are apart of the family. Highly recommend!“

“Pizza is really good! My husband likes it there with the new owners, they are doing a good job taking over. However the Parmesan garlic bites were sooo spicy and bitter, tasted like eating a straight glove, but my husband is a pure Italian so he ate them. Thank you!“

“This place has NEW GEM on menu every visit... Last nite at Bar 🍸i was surrounded by patrons enjoying EGGPLANT MEATBALLS w a Ricotta drizzle on each. Didn't know they Existed BUT they didn't exist long in front of me. Getting another order today & will post pic.“

“My wife and I had dinner there tonight 8/22 our 43 wedding anniversary. First timers there and the meal was delicious! From the fried zucchini app to the Seafood trio meal perfect. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!“

“I come here whenever I am in town. I love the oysters rockefeller and zucchini for apps and the chicken a la johnnys for dinner. The prices are great and I love the entertainment on a Saturday night. It's a wonderful, fun and relaxing evening!“

“Great family-owned business with amazing homemade food!“

“Friends and I enjoyed dinner at Tillie's last night and it was a great evening. Of course, the company was great but the food was also great. And, our server was a joy. She was pleasant, attentive and did a good job. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. Thanks!!!“

“I had my mother's celebration of life at La Eda's and it was perfect. Karla was so easy to work with. Had a personalized menu for guests to choose from. We were able to choose 2-3 entrees fir guests to choose from. Service was excellent and the food was amazing. This was the perfect restaurant for our celebration! Thank you so much!“

“this has become my wife and I's favorite Italian restaurant in the South Hills. portions are huge. Food is absolutely delicious. Quick warning though if you order the stuffed hot peppers they will be HOT. They're absolutely delicious though!“

“excellent food,great service--both eat in or takeout. Just be sure if you order artichoke hearts on your pizza you might get anchovies . lol.“

“We had an amazing experience this evening! The feast of the seven fishes! It was incredible the owner and chef, Ben Bartilson did an incredible job. Our server Jami was the best!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars!! Great pizza 🍕“

“Pazzo"s on Lysle Blvd. It's easy going and has good music 4 all if you put your money in the jukebox, and as always great service by little Jenny the barmaid, but you better get 2 at a time because the locals keep her shopping and she's a good hopper, LMAO !“

“This was our first time coming here and my family was pleasantly surprised! Our server was nice and everyone’s food was really good! It was fresh and homemade and we will definitely make a trip back coming from Somerset County.“

“First time there today. I got their chicken Marsala and it was amazing! I swear every other restaurant I’ve gotten it at just doesn’t have the thickness right but this was perfect. 10/10. My fiance got the Ruben and he really enjoyed it also. Whatever mustard dip they serve with their chips is so good too! ♥️“

“My husband loved their Red Top Pizza, said it's definitely the best he's had so far. 💕 And the owners are so kind and friendly and you can tell they want to connect with their customers. :). They also had this chocolate cake (which I'm not sure is a normal part of their menu) but it was absolutely delicious. 😭 Shame I mentioned it around my kids and I had to share.“

“Visited this fine establishment with some friends and I must say, the food is amazing. The venue is for fine dining and is small and quaint. So make sure you make a reservation or you will find yourself out of luck. It can also be pricey but with what you get it's well worth a special night with your spouse or small group. I had the Lobster Romano which was amazing. And my wife had the filet mignon. She's already asking to return for her birthday. Everything here is quality. A+“

“Our server was just bizarre. Running around like a chicken with her head cut off. She was forgetting things and screwing things up. She would basically run away while we were still talking to her. This was 7pm on a Saturday. After forgetting my soup, I was eventually brought an incredibly messy bowl, as if the soup was literally thrown into the bowl. She would say she was going to get us refills and then come back without refills. She did package our leftovers which was nice of her and offer us more bread.“

“Delicious, accommodating to a large group, and yummy!“

“Had a chance to dine here and was very pleased,,food was well prepared, service was friendly, quick, atmosphere was quiet and relaxed,,Highly recommended

Parking: plenty in shopping plaza

Kid-friendliness: kid menu, atmosphere is family friendly“

“We went to the newly renovated Moon Township location. The food was absolutely amazing and flavorful! Portion sizes were huge! We’ll definitely be back. We gave the service a 3/5 stars not because of our waitress (she was outstanding) but because of the rude “front desk” employee! I’ve seen multiple other complaints about what I can assume is the same person. This employee nearly ruined our experience!“

“Always fresh, always fire 🔥 well worth the price 👌“

“First of all I want to say my family and I absolutely love Pasta Too. Raymond runs a fine establishment and before today we have never had an issue. Today however our server completely ruined our experience at Pasta Too. Ca***e, our server acted like every request we had was a chore. She was ignorant and made both my family and I feel like a bother. I’m not sure if this is common with her but we have never had such a terrible dinning experience. Especially at Pasta Too. Other than that the food and every single other server we’ve dined with there has been incredible. We will be back. But we will request anyone but her as a server.“

“Comfortable neighborhood bar“

“We had 7 people. Made reservations 2 wks prior. Food was delicious. One person got chicken parm, specifically answered "no" when asked if she wanted noodles. The meal came with noodles under her chicken. Also, there was an issue with their check. Waitress never brought the slip that gets signed from using credit card. She insisted she gave it, didn't understand they needed the part the customer actually signs. Not sure what the issue was but waitress realized she never actually rang it up which is why they didn't get the slip. So those 2, although they did like the food, weren't real happy with the service. Waitress spoke in double time. So fast it was hard to understand what she was saying. Seemed kind of moody so not sure if it was just a bad day for her, or if she's always this way. But the food was delicious!“

“I was starting to become disappointed with my two favorite pizza spots, so I gave Slice a try and was not disappointed. It had the perfect crisp crust. I can’t wait till my next pizza fix. Thanks slice for an enjoyable pizza.“

“Excellent Pizza 🍕 I'll be back!“

“My friend and I sat outside while we could. Not a great view, but it was peaceful. The food was good, our server was very busy but we weren't neglected at all. Hey, someone made the food, it was served, we ate. Perfect day. P.S. excellent wedding soup.“

“Anna and her staff were exceptional . The night before sister’s wedding there had been an accident to the front of the building. All was cleaned and ready for a great night. Staff, food and venue were excellent and I would recommend highly to anyone in need of a venue.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ highly recommended!“

“Food is mediocre, but the bartender Missy keeps us coming back!!!! She is attentive, friendly, and funny. You never have to wait for a drink if Missy is behind the bar.“

“Quintessential pizzeria... not only is the staff fast and friendly inefficient they also go above and beyond with a little extras that mean the world to customers such as myself.

Guys if you're reading this to the staff of Bellisario's I wish there was a way to get you guys even more business not like you're hurting though because honestly your pizza is a Hidden Gem in West Mifflin particularly in Duquesne Shopping Center....yinz keep up the excellent work!

Wheelchair accessibility: It's on ground level and easily accessed and I guarantee if you have the phone number ahead of time which is on Google someone will open the door for you.“

“The art and photos of the pizzas drew me in! The place is filled with the art, and you get filled with the pizza. It's a good situation.

I got my pizza with no cheese, and I'd do it here again! The usual cheesy pizzas look good, too, so I doubt you can go wrong.“

“I called IVP to order pizza for a school sports team event occurring on a Monday. I didn’t realize they are typically closed on Monday, but the person I spoke with was so pleasant and helpful and took our order anyway. They said they are usually there on Mondays to make dough, so they were happy to help us out with the pizzas we needed. Everything was perfect and ready exactly when we asked for it. I have always had great service and great quality food every time I have order from them.“

“Try the Chicken parm family meal deal .. you won't be disappointed!!“

“Really cool spot to check out bands. Great atmosphere, and really nice people. I had a great time. Can't wait to go back.“

“If yinz find yourself passing through Munhall,PA like we were you’ve simply gotta stop in at the local tavern on Main Street! We stumbled upon Main Street Tavern and are thankful we did. This joint has big screens to watch an assortment of sporting events, copious options in the beverage arena and an assortment tasty food crafted by their cook (make sure you check the schedule ~ you won’t be disappointed!). Yinz know the show Cheers, right?! It was evident that the owners of this local establishment know everyone who walks through their doors by name. The greetings we’d witness as folks arrived was cheerful and when it was time to leave they’d give a shoutout “see yinz next time!” We bellied up to the bar and ordered two draft beers … what kind you ask … Yuengling of course! Do you know the story of Yuengling; it’s one of the American Spirit. It’s a tale of shared dreams, individual tenacity & an unwavering dedication to standards of quality. Like many American stories it starts amid the dreams of countless young immigrants looking for opportunity and emerges from the strength & will of one family determined to build their legacy in a new country. The story of America’s Oldest Brewery began when David G. Yuengling arrived from Wuerttemberg Germany to settle in the sleepy, coal-mining town of Pottsville, Pennsylvania. As I digress, like a story being shared with new friends over a cold beer I’ll get back to our visit at Main Street Tavern. We ordered draft refills to accompany the wings & hand crafted pizza we ultimately chose; the menu is filled with taste bud tempting & oh so many yummy in my tummy choices. The crust of the pizza is sourced locally along with most of the food you’ll find on Main Street Tavern’s; it’s an impressive menu. The meatballs are homemade & sought after by many (that’s what I gathered by listening to banter across the bar). The rabbit food aka salads galore I doubt will leave you hungry by the portions I saw being served causing me to second guess my choice but not for long, those first nibbles into the perfectly cooked wings & crisped drumsticks drizzled in sauce had me wanting more. The wing sauce was scrumpdillyicious & fingers were licked while our pizza was easily devoured as we shared this feast while bantering with the locals, staff and owners as college football played on the screens. Folks were filtering in and out, some playing pool while others shared stories of their week. It’s was kind of neat spending time in a local neighborhood establishment, the vibe is unique and very much welcomed. We learned that Main Street Tavern is a staple in the community and gives back regularly hosting an array of charitable events like chili cook-offs, Santa was just there for pictures with the kids, karaoke & local entertainment. Ugh! Now we had a problem of the most basic kind. Being in town only for one night we couldn’t enjoy other items offered on Main Street Tavern’s savory menu and the company of friendly folks that shared our evening; perhaps our return trip east in the spring requires a delightful detour?! So in review … this gal encourages you to divert yourself off the highway, head on over to historic Munhall (a borough in Allegheny County, PA on the west bank of the Monongahela river). At Main Street Tavern we found ourselves warmly welcomed as we stepped inside, filled up on an assortment of vittles, beverages severed with a smile & locals who were happy to sit alongside us as we conversed about our travels across our country.“

“First timer here. We just had the Sicilian with pepperoni. It was absolutely delicious. The sauce wasn’t over sweet or over spicy. It was the perfect accompaniment to the light and fluffy pillow like dough with the ends having the perfect amount of crunch. Great balance all around. We will definitely be ordering more of this in the future it was BOMB“

“get a lot of lamb on gyro and cucumber sause is out of this world. pizza 🍕 great.“

“Don't let the outside fool you. Pizza and Wings were excellent. Get the large pizza and wings special enough for 3 adults and one child. Good service. We will be back. A side note: It's across the street from the Josh Gibson Homestead Greys Mural. A tribute to one of the greatest baseball players of all time.“

“very delicious chicken parm for my first order. 😋 😍 😀.“

“everything we have ever ordered from here has been great. had pizza, hoagies, gyros, soups, rolls. never had a complaint about any of the food. would recommend.“

“I have been to Mama Pepino's in Glassport several times. Great place!!! I've been there with 20+ other members of my family and they took great care of us!!! But I made the mistake of ordering delivery yesterday. The delivery guy was the sorriest excuse for a human being I have ever met!!! He needs to stay in the restaurant!!! He was not a good ambassador for the business!!! He did nothing but complain when he got here!!! Not a pleasant person. He gave me the wrong order and had to come back to exchange the orders!!! I felt sorry a 350+ lb. person had to climb my steps a second time!!! I gave him a $13 tip. Should have been 13 cents!!!“

“Amazing pizza“

“The stuffed banana peppers are the best ! Perfectly made with sweet sausage cheese and their homemade sauce. I love that place!!“
