Renato's Pizzaria Glenside

Good food, but after we asked for no oregano, food still came with oregano on it, and no Coke, even though I paid for it.

amazing food & owner!

My family has gone to Pizza Box in Glenside for years. It is our favorite spot, and we don't often feel the need to go anywhere else. As a resident on North Tyson, It's not too far, but I was limited on time recently, and decided to try the "new" place up the street, Renatos. I had read some good reviews, and it's literally a 10 minute walk, or a 90 second drive, so I decided to try it.

I used the online order system to order a large pizza and a chicken breast sandwich, two very basic items. My assessment of the food is as follows-
Pizza- I would describe the pizza as "fine", or "average". It's certainly not bad, but there is nothing distinctive about it.

Chicken sandwich- The chicken was dry and unseasoned. They did slather it in a very sweet bbq sauce which was a bit too much. And then they put some very fatty, wobbly bacon on it. After only a 90 second travel time home, the buns were soaked through with bbq sauce making it impossible to pick up and eat.

Overall, I would say the food was about a C+/B- range.

The most disappointing part of the transaction however was the slowness of the order. I used the online system which gave me a specific pick up window. I always allow a little bit of extra time, so I arrive well in to the pick up window. When I got in, there were 4 employees standing around, leaning on the counters on their phones. I did not see anything cooking or being prepared, so I thought maybe they just opened. I told them my name and that I was there for a pick up order. They looked at me confused, before huddling over an iPad. It was obviously a surprise to them to see an order. One of the men came over to me and said "it will just be a few more minutes", clearly trying to cover for the fact that they had not even started my order. I watched as they pulled out ingredients to start making it. When they opened the pizza over, I saw that there was nothing else cooking, so clearly, they just plain old dropped the ball on my order.

Having worked in a restaurant, I understand these things happen. What I didn't appreciate was the lack of accountability or acknowledgement, and the attempt to act as though the order was "almost" done. When they finally finished, about 25 minutes later than the original pick up time, they still did not acknowledge their error. I didn't say anything, I just went home as my family had been waiting on me to return with lunch.

Again, the food was "Fine". Nothing bad, but nothing special. Given their unreliability, it would have actually been faster to drive the 3 miles to my normal place. I would have been home quicker, with better food and service.

Renatos might be worth returning to at some point, but probably not needed given the far better options nearby.
