Four of us enjoyed dinner at Pietro's to celebrate my son's graduation from Temple University. Our reservation was honored and we were seated immediately on arrival. The portions are huge. They offer individual dinners and family size. The individual dinners are enough to share but don't hesitate to order your own meals. Service was very pleasant.

Coal Oven pizza was really good. Prices were very affordable. Appetizers were fantastic. Parking was not bad, was able to find metered parking in front. A great experience overall.

I was looking for another place, and walked by Pietros which was packed inside and out on a Sunday night. Sat at the bar and got the mussels. I left the bowl dry after ordering more bread; amazing white wine broth. Waiting on the coal oven pizza now, but how bad can that be after such fantastic mussels.

The spaghetti and meatballs was one of the worst I have ever had. Sauce had what I can only describe as a "gummy" taste and the meatballs were way overlooked and hard. It seemed like most people were having the pizza, which looked good. Service and price were acceptable.

We chose Pietro's because it was highly rated and very close to our hotel. We were able to get a table right away on a Thursday evening. The atmosphere was very nice, althogh it was a bit warm for my tastes. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms for an app and they were delicious and very filling. The bread is also... More

Enjoyed trying two different pizzas with our sons. Staff was wonderful, and took great care of us. The place is larger than you think, extends quite a ways back in the bulding. Would stop by again.

Seriously people....if you love fresh and you love thin crust pizza, this is the place you MUST try. I absolutely LOVE pizza and I LOVE arugula and freshly shaved parm. This is one of the best things I have ever eaten. 'Nuff said. Go there. Eat pizza.

We are very picky pizza folks, and only like well done coal fired or some of the pizzeria's in new haven, CT. Hwoever, we like Pietro's - the tom sauce on the pie had good flavor and we also ordered the arugula salad to share, and that was nice and fresh and good w/the honey balsamic dressing. and it was...

I go into Philly every week for Italian classes with my daughter and her fiancé. I insist on Pietro's for dinner. We get pizza, salad and appetizer. Our favorite pizza's are the Piccante and Barese. You have to try them! You can find pizza with great toppings and sauces at a lot of places, but what makes a great pizza... More
