There is definitely better Italian restaurants. We’re gonna get better pizza and better pretty much everything if you drive into the city to go to a Italian restaurant. But for some reason if your local to this area, this place just has a little piece of your heart and is a staple Here in Chester. And they have redone the inside over the course of the last couple years and it does add a nice touch with the bar section. The seats have been changed and repaired it because those things were shot, but they were something about the old nostalgia of that place That I still miss. But I would say if you live in the area and close by it’s always worth a shot trying out your local pizzeria and I have to say this place doesn’t disappoint if you get that extra large cheese pizza and they do it just right with that cheese. If you can hit that sweet spot, the table will just be dishing out high-fives on how clutch the pizza is. My recommendation is when you sit down make sure you look the waiter or waitress right in the eye and say I want a large double cheese pizza but make it the best pizza that’s ever left that kitchen and I’ll tell you what if they can see the passion in your eyes on how bad you want that cheese pizza they’re not gonna take that lightly. Good luck to you on this journey and I hope that cheese gives you the same type of mouth hug you did for me

Big flavor and great location for those travelling on 95. Worth an extra minute off your route to stop. The seasoning on their mozzarella bites was on point. Affordable pasta dishes that fill you up and great tap selection. Plenty of parking and in between two exits for 95. You can watch the game while you relax and refill.

Great little mom and pop pizza shop! They use quality ingredients with great flavor. Service was good, and I would recommend giving it a try. I am from the NYC area, and it is find good pizza in the Richmond area.

Love Pietro's. We have been going there close to 9 years. Delicious food, great service. Pizza is delicious, love their eggplant Parmesan sandwich. Good salads, and kids love popcorn chicken. Father in law loves their hamburger steak and lasagna dinners.

Such a cute local place! Ordered the Pietro's Philly Cheese Steak and Chicken Alfredo. Not the best cheese steak or chicken Alfredo, but excellent for what it was. The best thing on the menu is their pizza. I've had it a bunch and it's been perfect every time.

Traveling through the area I needed a place with an outdoor patio so I could have my dog with me. I stumbled across Pietro's and asked if I could dine outside with the dog. The staff was so friendly and welcoming and even brought a water dish for the dog. I ordered the homemade lasagna and upgraded from a side salad to the Minestrone soup. What a phenomenal dinner! The service was fantastic and the food was plentiful and delicious. If I lived in the area this would be my new 'go-to' place and it will be when I travel through the area again. Pietro's has a small-town, mom and pop restaurant feel with excellent food, great service, and reasonable prices. What a win!!!
