“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!“

“Best service and Stromboli and Calzone in the area.“

“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!! 🤌“

“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.“

“We needed a large order to feed a group of people for a local non profit organization, the owner was wonderful to work with! He helped us build the most cost efficient order and worked within our boundaries. He was very friendly, courteous, and timely! I highly recommend !“

“new management is great. nice to have the old Roma style back!!“

“AWESOME Homemade Food!!!!“

“We stopped in last evening to give it a try. Really liked the atmosophere and the decor. Great job. The weather was wonderful so we chose to sit on the screened in porch and we received very good service. Ordered Veal Scalapini and it was good. An addition of lemon or garlic or a splash of white wine in the sauce would take it to the next level. My wife had the chicken bruscetta with broccoli. The dish was cold because the Bruscetta was not warmed before putting it on the chicken. Chicken was nice and tender. Wonderful entree just needed some heat. Since we are wood fired oven pizza snobs we try a small pizza. the cheese and sauce we real good. Can't say the same for the crust, which is the foundation of every good pizza. Suggest a 3 day cold fermentation with the dough to enhance the flavor. Then the pizza would be in a 9/10 range. Overall wonderful dining experience“

“The family behind Martino’s is the sweetest! Everything I tried has been delicious. The tomato pie is the best I ever had! Definitely should check it out if you have not yet!“

“Very nice and comfortable place to dine at. Great food and great service.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“stopped at Pizzatown 2 last evening for dinner. my wife and I decided to get a chef salad and Large cheesesteak to share. but it's s were made by a gentleman named Kevin who was working the grill. let me tell you that the chef salad was absolutely delicious with an abundance of meat and cheese and the cheesesteak was also packed with meat and was very tasty. once again great job and great food. And thanks Kevin for a delicious dinner. you nailed it.“

“Enjoyed Mother’s Day Tea with my daughters and granddaughter on Saturday. It was wonderful! The food was delicious! The decor was beautiful! Our server was attentive, polite, and very personable! What a delightful afternoon!“
