Pietro's No 1

Literally re-downloaded Yelp to leave this review.I have been ordering this steak sandwich since I got my first job at 17yrs old. I've since left Vacaville to live in great food cities like Oakland. San Francisco, and Portland OR and worked the majority of my life in restaurants, some of which people have traveled from all over the world just to work at. I've had alot of steak sandwiches since I was a kid celebrating my first check at Pietros #1.I haven't had it probably 10years and was passing through yesterday on my way home from the holidays and made a stop 30minutes out of my way to try it again. I needed to know if it lived up to the hype because it's lived rent free in my head since the last time I had it. Does it live up to my memories? Is it just sentimental? I've tried making my own and can never replicate the flavor. I needed to try it again.I ordered it to go, and ate it in my car in the parking lot across the street. Needless to say it melted my gd brain. It still to this day is and always was the best steak sandwich I've had in my life, and I have no idea why.It's a NY strip with a nice char and grill marks, perfectly cooked at medium rare with no grey line and as far as I can tell is seasoned with fresh ground pepper, a little garlic and salt. (Maybe MSG, but I won't tell) Wood fire probably? Idk but it's perfect. The bread is nicely toasted on the outside and soft on the inside, it soaks up the steaks juices and the butter baste it seems to have had just enough but not too much to fall apart. I want to thank Pietros #1 for maintaining quality after all these years and how hard things have gotten for restaurants, to have the opportunity to taste this piece of my childhood so many years later is just what I needed in what was a truly awful 2024. I'll be making trips back and go out of my way to have this sandwich for as many years as I can, please never change Pietros, you're amazing.

I convinced my wife to go to Pietro's #1 and all I can say is she was extremely satisfied with this traditional Italian restaurant.There's something to be said about a limited menu because everthing we ordered was awesome!Our server Eddie was awesome too. We screwed up ordering a togo food for my children and Toni the manager handled our screw up beautifully. THEY OBVIOUSLY ARE CONCERNED ABOUR THEIR CUSTOMER'S SATISFACTION.The wine list is awesome and the food is consistently great. The only negative is they are so busy and with the labor force compromised, they don't have enough help to handle the volume of customers. Every restaurant is experiencing the same challenges.Thank you Eddie and Toni for making our experience great. Ambience is family friendly.

Everything is good, every time. Haven't had an issue or complaint, not that Im looking for one.

This is the steak sandwich of your dreams! I was impressed with how yummy the sandwich was and shocked at how generous the portion was. Don't hesitate to order it. Delicious! Also, make sure to order the minestrone as your side. The GM, Dawn, was hospitable and gave excellent advice on navigating Vacaville/Sacramento traffic since I was coming through Pietro's from the Bay Area. My bartender, Gloria, recommended the sandwich, minestrone soup, and Deloach Pinot Noir. They all paired well together. Thank you! I enjoyed the country music playing and was happy to wait out the traffic in this fun venue.

I really enjoy their pizza, thick crust with plenty of toppings. The restaurant has a friendly ambience and the staff is great . I've tried other places but this so far has been my favorite in Vacaville

Finally decided to stop through this restaurant on a cold, rainy Saturday. It is a very nice place and I love they have daily specials that are definitely worth the prices they charge. I had their pizza special and an adult beverage for under $30.00. Such a great deal!

Food is AMAZING SO YUMMY. Definitely need to check this place out folks!We drive a long distance just for the pizza!! And with the current gas prices, that says ALOT!

Stellar food in a quaint atmosphere. Very attentive staff and clean surroundings. We will definitely be returning for an encore.

The lunch specials, Pizza & Cesar salad extra cheese are our all time favorites! We moved out of state and it is a stop we must make every time

delicious home made dough for the pizzas! can sometimes come a little undercooked because it's so thick, maybe ask for a little longer cook time. but flavor and topping options are great. ranch on the side to add that extra mmph
