Cardello Pizza

Just unbelievable. We ordered two pizzas last night to the tune of 42$. I thought that was costly but one had 4 topping and the second one with extra Pepperoni. Both was ordered as small . My husband walked out with one small and a big box. We got home the pizza with four topping had one topping and extra sauce.. Not ordered. Second pizza had hardly any pepperoni , definitely not extra. For 42$. What the heck . Called to get an answer . Man was rude and told me he made the pizza and didn't want to crowd my pizza. What? Was argumentative and I said forget it . I hung up and they called me 10 times. It was the most expensive pizza dinner. We threw it all in the garbage. Sad...

Best Buffalo chicken pizza I've ever had. Bomb ranch. Loveee the Buffalo fries! Hoagies and regular pizza are very good too!

Ordered from here for the first time. Pick up on a weeknight. Ordered their deep dish pizza with meatballs. Ordered through Grub Hub and total came out to around $20, with a $10 credit from Grub Hub.What's Hot- Quality. Pretty good deep dish pizza! The crust is definitely deep dish and holds up well. What I also enjoyed is that although the crust is deep dish, it's not too thick/overly ready. No skimping on the toppings, which is a good thing, given the price of the pizza (especially when you add in the price per topping). The meatball topping was plentiful and delicious. There's a pretty good amount of cheese, as well. If I had to guess, probably 1/2 inch worth of cheese on the pizza. Pretty impressive! Additionally, they add the tomato sauce on top of the cheese, and not in between the cheese and the crust. Makes the pizza smell more flavorful and delicious, but adds to the messiness of eating the pizza. Not a bad thing, but just be aware. Haha... - Service/speed. Pizza was ready on time for pick up, but see additional comments below. I appreciate that the food was ready based on their original approximation. What's Not- Health and safety protocols. When hubby and I arrived to pick up our pizza, we didn't see any signs asking customers to wear masks. None of the 3 staff, that we saw, wore masks. However, the staff were talking to 2 other customers there. The customers wore masks, but not the staff. This is a very tense time, during the pandemic. I understand if the staff don't want to wear masks when there are no customers. However, when there are customers around and the staff don't wear masks, it makes me uncertain. - Location. It's not in an easy-to-find location. The location is pretty inconvenient to get to and the parking lot is very small. There are so many windy roads to get here. Can you tell I'm not a native Pittsburgher? Haha... Unfortunately, what that means is that you better be prepared for your pizza to jostle around during the drive. - They don't update the app. Because hubby and I ordered through Grub Hub, that means the restaurant needs to update the app as to the status of the order. Fortunately, hubby and I timed out our drive to the pizzeria, after placing our order. Thankfully, the pizza was ready when we arrived to pick it up. But the pizzeria didn't update the app to send us a notification. While it's not the worse thing in the world, one of the benefits of using food order apps, like Grub Hub, Uber Eats, Door Dash, whatever, is that the restaurant can provide updates as to when the order will be ready for pick up. When a restaurant does not actively work with the app, it can add to the inconvenience and uncertainty of ordering takeaway orders. - Didn't slice through the entire pizza. To be fair, it's a pretty deep dish pizza and this isn't the worse problem to have. However, because they didn't slice through to the bottom of the pizza, it was pretty difficult separating the slices from each other when hubby and I took each slice of pizza. Not slicing through to the bottom of the crust, also makes it messier. Additionally, all the slices were not the same size. I don't expect them to be perfect, but some slices were double the size of other smaller pieces. - Price. The deep dish pizza is only a cheese pizza and you have to pay for each additional topping, ranging anywhere between $3 to $4 per topping. Hubby and I didn't like that part, because each topping is fairly pricey. It would have been nice to have predetermined options of pizza (like veggie, pepperoni, meat lovers, etc...). To be fair, I'm not a fan of paying for each additional topping. That makes the balance go up very easily. Final AnswerWilling to come back here again, mainly because there aren't many good deep dish pizza joints around.

Couple co-workers and I ordered lunch in and got a pepperoni pizza, white pizza (can't remember the name), and dusted wings. The wings were large and hot, but not particularly noteworthy otherwise. The pizza however was super good! Both pizzas were piping hot and the toppings were plentiful. I appreciated that the crust was airy and not too thick and that the cheese wasn't terribly goopy either. Will definitely be back again!

Pizza was delish. I've prefer it with "light" sauce. This way we didn't all die of heart burn later.

Without a doubt, the worst pizza place I have ever been to! Everything was burnt, and the hoagie had only half the bun filled with toppings, and the pizza tasted worse than the box. It came in! They were over a half hour late, and tried to overcharge me. I had to actually pull out the menu to show them their own prices. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy! Steer clear of this nightmare!

Ordered a buffalo chicken pizza. When it got delivered, we realized it was just cheese. Spoke to someone on the phone and they said they could either deliver a new buffalo chicken pizza or credit for a future order. I chose the pizza. The delivery man gave us the correct pizza and then asked for the wrong pizza back. I've never experienced this in my life. He stated the owner was new and wanted the wrong pizza back. I don't know if they thought we were lying, but we gave them the pizza back. Not sure what they were going to do with it... weird, but whatever. Pasta was 10/10. Pizza was about 6/10.

Well ok just an updated perspective : sometimes you just gotta ditch ONLY PIZZA . This place has excellent Gyros, pepperoni rolls with sauce ( like mini pizza)

Cardello Pizza was recently mentioned in the Washington Post as one of the top six places to get a Chicago style pizza in the state. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/09/01/pizza-favorite-styles-chicago/So, we drove up from Pittsburgh to see what it was all about. It's a small place, tucked away on a side street. It has no seating, and a laid back, sleepy vibe. I had to wonder, how does a national publication like The Post find a place like this? As for the pizza, of course we got the Chicago! And we were not disappointed. In fact, we loved it. Generous, wonderfully aromatic sauce. The crust was light, and even had a nice little crunch on the bottom. It was not overladen with cheese and other fats, but had enough for flavor (some may prefer heavier, and I suppose you could have them lay it on). Overall, excellent and unexpected for such a humble location.

Brand new owners...I stayed away from here for a while bc the last few times it consistently was wrong...I tried again and found out their are new owners...the steak deluxe hoagie was excellent and filling...the bacon and cheese fries were great and my favorite wing dings with yummy ranch...The new owners seem to have a better hold on things and definitely glad I went back!
