My wife and I were working in Barnesville, PA and we asked our customer where is a good local place to eat. He recommended OIP Original Italian Pizza which was about six miles away. OIP is a simple, casual, and cozy eatery with great food, bottled beers, wines, and drinks. They have a simple menu that has something for everyone. You can have a delicious and fabulous meal coupled with warm, friendly, and fast customer service. The establishment is definitely a popular place with the locals and it is definitely a refreshing change from the chains!
Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by the host and owner, Enza. She was very friendly and she had a very welcoming demeanor, a genuine smile, and she was very pleasant and professional. She immediately asked if we would like anything to drink. My wife and I ordered a Coke with no ice as well as a water with no ice. I told her that our customer referred us and told us to mention him by name. Enza immediately know whom we were speaking about and indicated that he was just there yesterday.
For our entrees, I had originally ordered the Tuscan Salmon with Veggies. However, I asked Enza, "What does Mike order when he is here?" She replied, "His favorite is Sausage, Peppers Classico, Zesty Marinara Sauce." She then described the meal in detail and I said, "I will have that with salad with Creamy Italian Dressing." My wife had the Eggplant Parmigiana with Broccoli instead of pasta. Enza immediately brought out house made fresh baked bread with butter. Everything was absolutely delicious and both meals were prepared, portioned, cooked to perfection, and were served hot. Enza was very attentive, friendly, and efficient. In short, the great food and awesome customer service made for a great dinning experience! We will definitely be returning here when we are in the Barnesville,...
Read morePoor customer service by owner. Called ahead to bring our basketball team and parents for food in between games. They said they couldn't accommodate us. So we ordered four pizzas. Upon arriving there was four people in the entire restaurant so we decided to stay. The waitress asked us how many people and we told her about 20 and she began to seat us. At this point the owner told us we called ahead and the pizzas were to go and that it was disrespectful for us to try to stay. Keeping in mind that the parents all we're ordering additional food. He basically wanted to kick us out and stormed off into the back room. I will say the waitress was absolutely wonderful. However my eight dollar salad that consisted of four cherry tomatoes and iceberg lettuce was not worth it. Can honestly say I will not support this business again. If you don't want to work during the middle of the day close your restaurant during those hours! Our party was respectful and ordered well over $150 worth of food and tipped quite well. Sorry you couldn't...
Read moreThis place can’t be serious. I expected more with the good reviews. The chicken in the chicken blush was hard as a rock and not even seasoned, the blush sauce tasted like mushrooms which doesn’t even make sense. The chef salad portion is sad for $12. The chicken in the chicken cheesesteak was absolutely disgusting made with old chicken.
EDIT: My mother in law called after the owner commented and said we can have our money back. As soon as she called the owner was screaming like a maniac on the phone that we must take down the review to get our money back. He said “people like us” are “ruining the country.” We were willing to work with him and my poor MIL just wanted to talk to him and all he did was scream and hang up the...
