Pete's Restaurant & Pizzeria

Food was excellent. Service and atmosphere is great.. nice, quiet, peaceful.

Staff was incredibly friendly and quick. The pizza was great; hot peppers weren't just pickled jalapenos, it was chopped up peppers and more closely represented Jimmy Johns hot peppers (but better) -- had never had that before, love it.

Never even knew this place existed (as I'm not originally from the area) & so glad a family member saw it on our drive, decided to pull over & say we should try. I mean, I'm down to try anything once (truth be told I WILL be a repeat customer! I'm one of the pickiest eaters ever! I have a different palate than "locals" (let me tell you, I will NEVER again trust a local to give me suggestions when it comes to food). The pizza that everyone seems to go ga-ga over in town actually skeevs me out- it's one of the grossest things I've tasted! If given a choice between there & Domino's (sacrilegious as it may be- my choice was Domino's) actually, my only choice in this area when they were still open was Giovanni Gambino's OIP hands down. Since he's no longer around to my knowledge - Pete's got my vote! Once you win my stomach, you win my heart which will remain loyal to death!

Frank was who waited on me, the atmosphere was nice, actually reminded me of family (so I actually felt underdressed in a tee-shirt & shorts even though I was coming for takeout- not at all that they made me feel that way, it's a personal thing. I'm a Philly girl, we don't leave the house w/o looking presentable but hey I wasn't wearing pajamas, I still have some dignity left!). Because of reminding me of family, I felt quite comfortable when he offered me to take a seat while I waited (which wasn't long at all). The smells brought back nostalgic smells of what I haven't smelled for a very long time! So the short drive to get to where we were going actually had my stomach growling - that's a feat in itself!

We get home & break out the pizza- taking out, I haven't had the cheese slide (if ya know, ya know!) with such grace like back home! The grease is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l balance. Let's talk sauce (gravy/marinara) PHENOMENAL REAL TASTE- didn't taste like strait tin (I don't know where people find that to be actually edible?!) The crust (which I saw him flipping & with that doughs movement - you could tell it was fresh!). The crust was devine! I think he's very smart for not overseasoning like a lot of these places do (let's be honest here, unless you know what goes together - less is more!) He KNOWS he don't need to over compensate - it's a season to your liking (I wanted to try as is to see if I could even get it past my teeth). Very happy my family told me we should give them the chance & see how they were!

In a nutshell, they've got a new regular!

Fantastic placeto eat! Very friendly service highly recommend will dine in again for sure! A++++

We have eaten at Pete's many times and they never disappoint!! I had the haddock today and it was delicious. Their house dressing is phenomenal!! If you have a craving for Italian food this is the place to go! Make sure you grab some house dressing to take home!

Very friendly, warm, and welcoming! The owner greeted me, and the former owner had approached me to start a conversation. He even offered me his hand to shake. The food is absolutely incredible! Even the salad before the main course was the best I had. Highly recommended based on the interactions alone!

Our first time eating here over the weekend with our gluten sensitivity. They were extremely accommodating as well as aware of cross contamination. We had a gluten free pizza with bacon as well as a spaghetti with meat sauce. Highly recommend it as well as we will be returning on our next visit to the area. Our server was also very friendly and polite.

Best Italian food in p.a.
I love the chicken parmesan'. This is authentic Italian cooking!!!
Food is always hot and freshly made.

Great service! People are very welcoming. Pete greets you at your table. Server Sandy was fabulous with suggestions of entrees and service. Good selection of food and large board with daily specials. Highly recommended.

One of the best places around. Great service and excellent food, all made fresh to order! Pete and his son are amazing ppl and the most friendly business persons you will meet!!! Steak hoagies are my favorite but the pizza is excellent and his dinners are very good and they keep adding more n more great dishes!!!!

Haven't stopped in there in quite a while but I'm glad I did. Got spaghetti with meat sauce and it was delicious. Large portions along with a big salad and a roll. Excellent. Got it to go.

Family owned and operated serves delicious classic Italian dishes. The owners are amazing people who are sure to make every customer feel warm and welcome

We had the large regular stromboli with onion and marinara on the side. It was absolutely perfect, reasonably priced, fed 4 adults, and ready for pick-up 30 minutes after ordering.

Awesome little place on 61 in Kulpmont. Would recommend to anyone! Frankie is incredibly kind and makes a mean pizza! 10 times better than any of the big chains. Best calzone in town!

Support your local business.

We were out of town and stopped in on a rainy night. The food was amazing and so fast! Pete (the owner) who Is this adorable Italian gentleman came out and had conversation with us and even gave us a discount!! Highly recommended!!

Always great food. Since the days located by Kluckers & Creme up until now. Hoagies, Cheesesteaks, burgers, and pizza. Deserts as well . All around great place with great food and Pete is an awesome guy. Him and his son are wonderful people

The food is fantastic! The atmosphere and the attitude at the restaurant, is amazing. Pete, mama and Frankie, are the absolute best and the nicest people you'll ever meet.

Good food and friendly atmosphere. We were from out of town and welcomed here. Owner came around and spoke to all customers.
