"Omg! I wish I could just pack this place up and take it back to Lancaster Pa with us. The brick Brick Oven Classic 12" Pie is so so good and the Garlic Sticks with cheese with a side of Tomato Sauce Side and Vodka Sauce Side is wonderful also. This place is so good I ordered 2 nights in a row, the Brick Oven Classic 12" Pie. We also had the Chicken Vodka Roll and it was amazing as well. I am a foodie and I am always willing to travel just for food and I will definitely be coming back just for this food. If you can't tell, I highly recommend and we will definitely be back."
"I rarely write a negative review. I wanted this to live up to the buzz and hype. This is just not good pizza. I can name at least 10 locally that are far better and priced correctly. Had their slice before and that was ok, but the pizza completely disappointed on every level. Besides the taste, it was insulting how sparse and sparing they were with the toppings, especially for the price."

"Food was fantastic! Roast Turkey Dinner was great! I could eat a bowl of that stuffing and happily in carb bliss all day! Forgot to snap pic until only leftovers remained- was that good! Strawberry Cheesecake was exactly what you'd want it to be -I did get plain instead with fresh berries, not a huge deal. Chocolate Cheesecake also great, layers of chocolate cake and cheesecake with a huge chocolate rose on top! Kids Mac and Cheese was HUGE with a great- in house, cheese sauce. I called after I ordered b/c I wanted gravy on side so it didn't spill all over. The kid on phone took the time to ask if ihad a veg choice (which he listed), what kind of potato I wanted (he listed options) and what soup did I want (he listed them). He was friendly, pleasant and an asset to the diner. Everything arrived hot and packed well.They didn't send my meal included soup which, TBH food was so good and the call was so unexpectedly pleasant- it just wasn't a big deal. I was bummed that I didnt get to try it. I had ordered a separate French Onion Soup as well; so I think that maybe threw them off. These days, I dont even want to review b/c my experiences were bad food, bugs, etc. I absolutely HAD TO make time to share about my great experience with Park Place. This will be our new "Go to"."
"Nachos burnt and poorly prepared. Requested toast for roast turkey club not toasted. French dip dry. Both french fries were undercooked. No sour cream or salsa delivered for nachos but we threw them away and wasted money. Very disappointed as we have gone there before and not had an issue but take out may be the issue."

"12/10 the pizza is so good"
"This is very disappointing chain-style pizza. The only reason I've given 2 stars instead of 1 is that the 2-for-1 deal on certain pizzas (the vodka and cheese pies) is a good price---albeit these are small-diameter pies, and in the end, the savings are not worth the very poor quality. Crust is terrible, like cardboard, and not much cheese or sauce. Vodka sauce is bland and minimal. Basil leaves on the vodka pie are a joke--one leaf on each slice and almost zero detectable basil flavor. Truffle-mushroom pie is slightly better (more cheese and a little savory, same lousy crust) but not part of the 2-for-1 deal, and still not good. Will not order here again. "

"We tried the Paneer Supreme Pizza*and Spicy Chipotle Burger*. Both were so flavorful. And to top it off, we had the Sitaphal Shake and Chiku Sapota Shake*. Both were amazing. Highly recommend for fusion Indian food. "
"If you’re looking for inventive Indian fusion food, Saci Indian Restaurant is a must-try! We recently ordered from here on DoorDash, and the entire experience far exceeded our expectations. Both the Achari Burger and the Paneer Makhani Pasta were absolutely standout dishes. The burger came packed with bold, tangy flavors, and had that authentic achari (pickle) kick that’s so rare to find in any burger, let alone a fusion one.But the real star for us was the Paneer Makhani Pasta. It’s a brilliant marriage of creamy Italian pasta and the rich, aromatic Indian makhani curry. You get perfectly cooked pasta tossed with fresh paneer cubes and a sauce that bursts with ginger, garlic, tomato, and signature Indian spices—you can taste the coriander, a hint of kasuri methi, and that buttery finish that makes makhani irresistible. My wife and I loved trying to pick apart the flavors and ingredients because every bite was so well-balanced and satisfying.Paneer Makhani PastaSpicy Achari Burger"
