Best Italian Restaurant in Pasadena

I just had a really satisfying hot pastrami sandwich aka Pastrami Alla Pietros on my first visit to Pietro's Italian Restaurant. The sandwich is made on a really excellent quality sesame seed hoagie roll with mustard, pickles and melted cheese on tender juicy pastrami. The large sandwich is nearly a foot long. I had intended to eat half and save the rest for later but it was so tasty that I ended up eating the whole thing. I'm on a mission to try all the pastrami sandwiches in town and so far…

Went Friday with my husband, I had the Hoagie, he had the meatball sandwich. Both were so tasty and very filling. Went back on Saturday with our daughter and her family. Had pizza, calzone, wings, anti-pasta salad, and chicken Alfredo. Once again, the food was delicious and very filling.

This is an excellent place. All the ingredients are freshly cut and made to order. I peeked into the kitchen and noticed the chef hand slicing all the vegetables for the pizzas they were baking. And what a pizza it is. The large 16" pizza is a must order. Generous toppings all over. It has a thin crust but is soft and tasty where cheese and toppings are placed. I usually order the Pietro Special. But it doesn't stop there. No pizza is complete without the buffalo wings. I don't know the size…

We usually have the meatball sub which is delicious. Tried a vegetarian pizza today and it was equally as good. Great service and very nice people!

I've been coming here for over 30 years and this little neighborhood gem consistently puts out tasty and quality Italian food! Their pizza, pasta and numerous hot and cold subs are especially good, particularly their Italian Hoagie, and hot meatballs and cheese! They've also got a large selection of sodas and beer. It's changed hands several times over the years, but the current owner, George, is personable, friendly, and makes sure the customers are happy! He's got a great crew, too,…
