"I have never had anything here before. The Tuna Melt was bigger than I thought it would be and very tasty. It was obvious the tuna was not prepackaged. The pierogie were very good and I was surprised to see I could get as a side for no additional cost. The pistachio pie was clearly homemade. I will be trying other things here. Just amazing taste"

"CYO Pasta with Alfredo and chicken is the best. Chicken Parm & Pasta Meat Lasagna and Fried Provolone and Meatball Casserole all are absolutely delicious. I was afraid to order for our first time just because of the cost but this was worth every penny. Salad was missing the extras we ordered and paid for but the food surpassed any small oversights. You can tell all of it has been made with love "

"The spinach ravioli is consistently one of the best pasta dishes in Pittsburgh---and that's saying something. The side salads and house dressing are also outstanding. The only reason I only gave this meal four stars is because the full-size Caesar, when delivered, seemed to be skimpy for the price, and noticeably smaller that the in-house version."

I've had the regular lamb gyros and I've had this steak gyros both phenomenal. They do not skimp on any of the ingredients.

"You get a lot of food for sure. I got the mini fish sandwich. Bread was fresh, fish was great. I also got the fried zucchini. Couldn't eat it all so I've some for tomorrow. Sauce for zucchini is awesome!"
"Rene's is a well known, long time establishment which is why I'm sad that I have to write this review. The 6" Hot sausage sandwich was not that great. It actually tasted like Kielbasa with a lot of garlic. It didn't have that fennel taste normally associated with hot sausage. I actually tossed the other half because I wasn't happy with the taste. Not to mention (look at the pic) the sandwich was more bun than anything. The Fried cheese was ok but didn't look anything like the menu pics(which looked fire!!) Tasted good but pretty average. Again, sad that I had to make this unsavory review but I expected more from such a well known staple. Sorry Rene's...you missed the mark on this one."

"Been ordering from Dannys on 51 for 35 yrs. Bethel is the OG location but I feel like 51 had better hoagies. Might be that they just didnt clean their ovens that often which added flavor. Still, the Half Famous Italian is famous for a reason and best in the city. The Meatball and Ricotta Pizza was incredible."
"Not the taste and quality that I've been used to at Danny's. The hoagie was burnt. Both the hoagie and pizza were hard the pizza crumbled when I taped it on a paper plate and both items were cold as if they were made several hours ago and sat out. I would never expect delivery to be hot as if I was eating it in the restaurant but it was not in the least bit warm. I will say this definitely been a one off situation. Everytime I've ordered take out or pick up I have really enjoyed it. I would still absolutely recommend as their food is delicious, today was an exception."

"the Cookie Fudge Fantasy was delicious, a little sugary for my liking but I don't see that as a reason to deduct any stars. lots of chocolate on the sides and a whopping 3 cookies inside it! as for the Original Smiley® Cookies , they were as delicious as they always were. 😋"
"The Original Superburger® patties were almost charred and dry…and too small for the buns. The Lemon Meringue Pie piece was tiny, not at all the size I would have gotten in the restaurant. I've come to this same Eat n Park for almost 60 years. So disappointed tonight."

"This is hand down the best pizza in the area. Best I've had from anywhere in a long time. Amazing for the price and sl"
"Pizza was above avg for this area. Steak hoagie was loaded with meat and at a very good price point for the amount you get. However, it arrived very soggy. My guess is because of the tomato's and canned mushrooms. Aside from that, my only other complaint would be that the store did not offer a way to add or take away ingredients on the hoagie because I generally ask for no tomato's."
