Ordered a burger from this establishment, it was tiny and really substandard, hardly gave me any chips for the order as well. At least it was cheap. Still, just go to the other Brothers’ in town, much more value for your buck.

This is the closest Brother's Pizza to my workplace in town. They're all independently owned and operated, so they all vary a little. This one is a good location with NY style pizza that's the BEST of the four in town. Nothing beats NY style from New York, but Brothers is about as close as you can get to it in State College.
Love the crust, love the sauce, and love the amount of cheese they pile on for extra. "Extra" really means something to these people, just like the Northland Center Brother's location.
Five stars for the pizza, four to three stars for other food.
I've dined in, taken out, and received delivery from this place for many, many years. They're consistently good. Unlike some of the other Brother's in town, this one has consistently cooked their pizza perfectly.
Delivery is reasonable, from 30 to 45 minutes, but I've been dining in more often these days.
The owners are like a 'mom and pop' team. If you're a regular during the day, you'll be seeing them all the time. You might see other staff during evenings/weekends. The owners are great people once you get to know them. Other reviews mention interactions that were rude or abrasive, and I think that's due to the owner's short patience in dealing with problems/upset people, regardless of who's at fault. This area gets a lot of turnover from those visiting Penn State. But if you treat them with respect, they'll do the same. Heck, once they know you they'll even stop over and chat with you sometimes. Butch and Cathy are really nice people!
I know their decor isn't everyone's taste. You'll find references to the Grateful Dead, assorted hippie paraphernalia/peace symbols, photos of the owner's bee-keeping hobby, and even the leg lamp from Christmas Story (lol, love it!). At least it keeps things interesting. ?

I ordered a chicken cheesesteak but when I got home we found that there wasn’t any cheese on the CHEESEsteak. I also ordered an extra large pepperoni pizza. I’ve never seen a pepperoni pizza with so little toppings. I called back to Brothers on Hamilton Ave. I spoke with the lady who made my food. She told me that she would credit me $1.00 because that is what they charge for cheese. She also told me that they are only allowed to put 18 tiny slices on a large pizza and 20 on an extra large. I told the lady that she could keep the $1.00 and that we will never order another thing from them. The Brothers on Benner Pike puts the Brothers on Hamilton to shame.

Touching food with his bare hands, doesn’t care about cross contamination. Super rude and curt. Yelling to speak up and asking if that was so hard

Food is expensive, not much meat on sandwich. $2 to put in grilled onions and a $6-2 liter of soda. Person behind counter drop my order on the counter and said here you go buddy. I asked for receipt for my expense account and they said “ain’t gonna happen”. Luckily I was emailed a receipt so I didn’t have to pay $28 out of pocket for a meal that wasn’t worth it. Won’t be back
Pizza was not good. Chicken cheese steak and regular cheesesteak were horrendous. Charged $12.50 per cheesesteak and that’s what I receive in return. Wouldn’t recommend going there. First and last time.

The pizza looks pretty, but the taste is not very good. It was undercooked, there was absolutely no grease, and the mushrooms did not taste fresh. I ordered a side of ranch and that was pretty terrible as well. Possibly the worst NY style pizza I've ever had.
