“Me and my girlfriend went to the Hozier concert in Hershey and stopped in for a little lunch before the event. Midtown pizza exceeded my expectations in a small Italian restaurant. We ordered garlic knots, chicken parmesean sub, meatball sub and fries. The garlic knots were small but came with 9 and were buttery and garlicky, the meatball sub was good and as was the chicken parmesan sub. The bread on the sandwiches really made it special. Though we didn’t go to the bar, but we dined in, the food came out in good time and the service was good. I recommend for those looking for a quick bite and the prices aren’t outrageous.“

“We love coming here. The food is always delicious. And it’s fun being able to bring our own wine! They always give us ice and open it for us. They are very flexible with switching out sauces as well. The free bread is fantastic too.“

“The food was delicious! I would buy there again!“

“This was my first time here. Having a recent wheat allergy diagnosis, the food I’ve come across at other places are limited and mediocre. Piazza Sorrento (the restaurant side) has the biggest gluten free menu I’ve ever seen! The gluten free bread, bruschetta, pizza and strawberry shortcake was amazing! I will definitely make the 90 minute drive back to enjoy it again. The staff was knowledgeable about food allergies and everyone was very pleasant. I highly recommend this place. My daughter is able to eat non GF food and she said her food was just as fantastic!“

“We just came back from dinner at Ferrarelli’s and everything was amazing!! You cannot go wrong with anything you order. Portion sizes are plenty (we all bought home plenty for lunches this week). You will not be disappointed! Service was also wonderful!“

“Always good! Very Friendly service!“

“I live over 2.5 hours away from this restaurant. I make it maybe once or twice a year to my favorite restaurant. I love having the build your own pasta. I started cancer treatment earlier this year and my wife gave me an incentive to get through it by telling me she would take me to Macaroni Grill after I completed the treatments. Today was the day. I am sorry, her name escapes me right now, but our waitress went way above and beyond for us. She got me a slice of key lime pie and had congratulations written on the plate. I am not going to lie, I got emotional. The food was awesome as usual. The 5 hour round trip was more than worth it. My waitress should be employee of the year.“

“The hotel manager at Hampton Inn recommended "What IF" for dinner. He was spot on. Excellent service and our table just off the end of the bar provided a quiet place to enjoy an excellent meal.“

“We go to eat breakfast at Tito’s almost every Saturday morning. The service is good and the food is always hot and delicious. The owner is very cordial and always makes you feel welcome.“

“Everything is always delicious!“

“Awesome pizza sauce! On the sweeter side, but very tasty. My family and I have been regular customers here for 3-4 years, since we moved into the area. Bartolo's is one of the few remaining "old school" pizza shops. The dining area is somewhat small but they have a nice outdoor seating area. They get super busy on weekends so plan accordingly!“

“Arguably the best pizza in the hbg / Hershey area . 3.50 for a slice is a steep though but I’d rather pay that than 3 bucks for garbage. I’m just thinking it shouldn’t be what they charge back east where rent is mucb more expensive . Either way it’s much better than most of their comp“

“A beautiful restaurant located in the Hershey hotel. The service was good. The food was good. The view from the deck was nice. Not sure all of it added up to $100+ lunch for two. I'm glad we went to celebrate a special occasion. So we'll leave it there. Stop by and look around if you are there for the gardens or something else.“

“We have been in a few times recently as we were working in the neighborhood. Great food, friendly staff, quick service! Today we shared an old world pizza, delicious!“

“Awesome little find in Hummelstown! My family and I were intrigued by the high ratings so we had to try the pizza out for ourselves.

We went in for lunch and there were several pizzas to choose from for a single slice. I got the Old World, my husband got the cheese, and my son got the garlic with tomatoes. We all loved our pizza! We also got the garlic knots that came with their homemade sauce, so delicious!

The atmosphere is also adorable. There’s such a nostalgic old school pizzeria feels to it with plenty of tables to eat at. All the workers were also so kind and welcoming.

We will definitely be back!“

“My husband and I love Pizzatown. The owners are great and their food is even better!“

“guyssss, that cheesesteak pizza you made tonight is AMAZING!! You're always our go-to, and I'm so happy we can support each other's small businesses!! 🤌“

“Excellent food. I always order more than I am going to eat a one meal. Their food is so fresh my son and I can eat salad n taco pizza , then have carnival fries for a snack, next day we have canzone in the air fryer Robertos is the best and not yucky or fall apart when we heat it up ... love love love it ! Always polite even when they are swamped, and if you are patient, they even carry it out to my car for me. I AM A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER BEEN A CUSTOMER FOR OVER 20 YEARS !“

“We were in the area for a soccer tournament and were looking for somewhere that could accommodate our team for lunch. They gave us the all clear when we called, and they did not disappoint! The staff was great and the food came out really fast. Our family shared a pizza (cheesy and a great crispy crust), but by the looks of a lot of empty plates, the sandwiches and steaks were good too! We would absolutely eat here again when we’re back in the area.“

“I am new to the area and this made me feel at home but even better!! I order about every week. Fresh and very hot. Family restaurant and made me feel very welcomed!! I brought my family from back home here for dinner, they enjoy this just as much!! I need to try a few more things on the menu so I can brag more!!“

“Went in for a slide and got the meat lovers thick crust. Large piece for $3.98 with tax. While waiting I was shocked to see the very large menu of subs, cold and hot, salads and Strombolis. Casual setting if you dine in with great 80s music and sever was great. I was feeling like I walked into a joint in NYC the minute I opened the door and when I saw the sever wearing a NY cap, I figured I was right on with a smile on my face.“

“I had a really enjoyable experience today! The service was fantastic – friendly and attentive. We were seated quickly with barely any wait time, which was a pleasant surprise
.
The food was exactly what you would expect from Olive Garden. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the portions were generous. Good breadsticks and the salad was fresh.

Overall, it was a solid meal and a great choice for a casual and satisfying dining experience. If you're looking for a reliable spot with good food and efficient service, this will do.“

“The Funnel Cake fries ! 😋❤“

“Love the pizza and subs. Atmosphere is great. I was reading the reviews and someone actually complained about a $14 large pizza. I guess they don't travel much because in most places, they are $17+. Family owned. And I'll say this, to anyone complaining about prices, I also own a resturant and you can blame Biden and his staff for the price increases on food. Keep it up usa and I.“

“Such great staff with warm welcome every single time without a fail. I feel like home going to this place. We take every single family member here when they visit us.“

“I just moved to North Steelton area and when I first moved in I decided to order pizza. So, I Googled pizza shops that deliver by me. This was about 9pm and there was a shop 2 blocks away and said they closed early, so I looked at Google again and found a few that were still open and deliver. I checked them all out and Pizza Delight was rated highest so I placed my order on the Slice App. Pizza Delight has now become my favorite pizza shop in the Harrisburg area! I've ordered different pizzas, subs, and sides and have yet to get something that I didn't like! I've been here 3 weeks now and have made one order every week so far. I don't know who to thank at Pizza Delight, but I want to give you a shout out for making good food and delivering to my N Steelton home!“

“Awesome private club great food cheap drinks , pull tabs and game of chance not hard to get a membership card as long as your a decent human being. Fyi the smoke is not that bad smoke eaters n fans in place. You have hundreds of places non smoking dont like it dont join your loss“

“Recomiendo mucho este lugar para comer los mejos tacos de carnitas bueno toda la comida está muy rica 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋“

“I'm a truck driver for the America's, sometimes down to Mexico all the way up to alaska, and I can confirm that this is the best pizza and wings I have had in a VERY long time!
I did have a small hiccup ordering because I didn't know it was an old menu I was looking at, but that was quickly resolved. And at request they sent a couple of menus so I could replace the old ones at the APU shop I had to bring my truck to.
My husband and I got a large cheese pizza and 12 jumbo boneless wings to share. Half hot wings and the other half garlic parmesan, with Bleu cheese and celery sticks. Bleeding delicious they were!!!“

“good stuff, highly recommend!“

“Our favorite pizza shop, love the pizza, cheesesteaks and stromboli's. First place we hit when we visit PA.“

“this place makes really good food I love it with the first time the hospitality was great for me and my wife we enjoyed ourselves I give a five stores and more“

“Their Angus steak burgers are shockingly good! I didn't have a fresh pizza but I got a slice of margherita pizza (at 8pm) and it was still very good despite being most likely hours old. Am definitely coming back later in the week to try a fresh pizza.“

“Wanted a place to go with friends before a movie at the theater nearby…stumbled onto Fratelli’s…so glad that we did. Food was fresh and delicious. Homemade dough for the pizza and Stromboli. Apps were awesome…we had the pretzels and the cheesesteak egg rolls. My friend had wings and said they were good as well. Everything was reasonably priced and the service was impeccable. Definitely recommend that you check it out. They have Italian entrees and a dining room as well (that I believe is open on the weekends) and I can only imagine that the entrees would be just as good. We are certainly planning on checking out this little diamond in the rough again.“

“Best food ever great service always greeted when you walk in and when you leave.“

“I am not happy with the attitude I got from one of the employees . of that employee was having a bad day there was no need to take it out on the customer. I will take my busy some where else.“

“Delicious food and friendly people! A must try if you're in the area“

“We take a yearly trip to Hershey Park and we ALWAYS have to take a trip to the Union Deposit, Harrisburg location. Employees are some of the most friendly people we’ve encountered at any type of restaurant. They are always willing to help and are very pleasant to speak to. They are always offering to make any pizza we may want to try if it’s not already made! We don’t have a place like this at home in CT and would like to find out information about maybe becoming part of the franchise to bring this delicious food to our area. WE WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR!!“

“Just had literally the best cheese steak - South Philly Cheese steak!! and I have tried many cheese steaks in my years“
