Perri's Pizzeria Pub — Restaurant in City of Rochester

Judging from the fact that our waitress had several groups come in after us, all of whom she greeted with a big, cheerful, "Hello! Getting your regular tonight?" to which most replied enthusiastically "Yes!", we gathered this pub is a local hangout with lots of regulars.

I could see why-- the pizza is really good! We chose this place because they were convenient to other errands we needed to do that day, and because they offered an extensive array of pizza toppings along with having a restaurant area where we could sit and eat. I loved have various thicknesses and types of crust to select from-- we got the pan pizza style and loved it. The pizza is served piping hot-- and they didn't skimp on our toppings. My boyfriend originally grumbled a little at paying about $3 per topping--- but when we got the pizza and saw that they were very generous, he agreed it was worth it as this place used toppings to achieve the best taste per bite to cheese and sauce. I particularly appreciated that they offered anchovies which appeared to be fresh-- they had a complex flavor, and weren't the cheap, overly-salty anchovies often used. The mushrooms were likewise perfectly cooked, and plentiful.

We also ordered a spinach salad, with most of the toppings offered, and the bowl that arrived was more than enough for 2 people to share with meal sized portions. A family of 3 or 4 could easily have gotten a side-salad serving out of this bowl. And the veggies were crisp and very fresh. The drink selection is extensive, and the waitress offered to bring us a sample of ciders or beers to help us make our selection.

As a kudos to the service-- the waitress didn't hear our order correctly and instead of removing the fresh pineapple and raw onions from the salad, we somehow got a salad with extra. I kid you not, you couldn't see the lettuce under the layer of pineapple on top! I said we'd be happy to pick it off, but she refused, saying "Oh there's a lot of pineapple! I don't want to ruin your dinner!" and insisted that the kitchen would remake it. They did so with alacrity. She was attentive and friendly throughout the meal, even though the room became quite crowded and she had lots of tables to attend to.

The only drawback to this place is that it's loaded with televisions and sports games are everywhere. I recognize that this is precisely the draw for some folks, and that I'm in the minority on this. I got rid of a tv back when they went digital and haven't looked back-- the one upside is that the 2 tvs over our table had the sound off with closed captioning on, so at least it wasn't the clashing commentaries while we enjoyed dinner. The room did get quite boisterous though, with good-natured, happy regulars. They also seem to welcome a diverse crowd, too, as the room was filled with everything from singles at barstools, to groups of coworkers at the larger booths, couples, and families with young kids. At least on the night we went, the pub environment was in full swing and the atmosphere relaxed...

It had been a long time since I had Perri's, so I decided to give them a shot. I ordered through GrubHub and got the Family Combo, which is a large cheese pizza and 24 wings. I got a single topping on the pizza, which was sausage. With the combo, delivery, taxes, tip, and a $6 off coupon the total came to $46 (which I was not too unhappy with).

I'm not going to mention anything about the delivery because Perri's had nothing to do with that. What I will discuss is the actual food.

First the pizza itself. As you can see in the pictures the pie looks pretty dang appetizing. The standout here is the crust, which I thought was quite good. I asked for it well-done and Perri's came through. They also used plenty of mozzarella cheese, which is also a plus. Unfortunately, the sauce and the sausage tasted like a whole lot of nothing. Very bland, not much to complement honestly. For reference I ordered the pizza with their traditional red sauce. I was charged almost $3 for the one topping, and honestly wish I hadn't got it because it was so blah.

Finally is the wings. Since I used the GrubHub app I wasn't able to select 2 flavors, so I got all 24 wings in their Garlic Parmesan sauce. Unfortunately, like so many other places, the flavor was incredibly weak. While they smelled quite good, unfortunately the taste was very disappointing. Garlic Parm wings should have a strong garlic flavor complemented by plenty of parmesan. While I could taste hints of the parmesan, the garlic was practically non-existent. On the plus side, the chicken wings were cooked very well, so points for that.

On a whole, I would say I'm not dissatisfied with my order, but I'm not satisfied either. Based on the weak flavor of the pizza and even weaker flavor of the wings, I cannot recommend Perri's Pizza. Not everything was bad, so I'm not giving them a single star...however I also don't feel the order was three-star worthy. I'm glad I tried them, because now I know to stay away. If you want higher quality pizza and wings, I recommend...
