Pine Hill Pizza And Grill — Restaurant in Pine Hill

I typically try to stay on the positive side when I review places, so I'll start by saying that the service here was on-point. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted. And then a few more times from other staff who hadn't seen me come in. Also, given that it was new for me I decided to order 2 slices of plain pizza & an order of Garlic Knots.

I like sticking to the basics when trying a new place, because the base of their pizza is good, usually the rest of the options are too. Likewise can be said regarding a negative experience. So, after having stellar service, I had high hopes for the slices, and I was ravenous because it was 6pm and I hadn't eaten anything that day.

The slices, unfortunately, were not what I was hoping for. The sauce (gravy for Italians) was far too sweet, as in super sweet. I know some people love sauce (gravy) that is on the sweeter side, but I am not one of those individuals. I can tolerate sweet sauce, however, this was too sweet. To their accord, it balanced out as a base for the pizza (which had Oregano sprinkled on it as well); the salt rendered from melted cheese along with the crust cut the sweetness down, making it more palatable for me. The dough was turned into thin-crust, and held up relatively well for the pie, and was okay tasting wise, but didn't hold that level of "I'm stuffed but I still want to eat the crust" aspect for me.

Then the garlic knots. Lord. These made me a little sad. They looked like they could have potential--smothered in fresh garlic, they beckoned me to try them. However, it saddens me to say that they were over-fired. They had charred exteriors, were made to be very small, and because of that-they were nearly rock-hard. What made them even less appreciated was the overabundance of olive oil. They swam in it. I ended up having to toss the knots, but I drained the excess of oil and ate the garlic. (I mean, what kind of Italian would pass that up?)

As I said, I prefer being positive so I want to end on a good note too.

While I was waiting inside the shop, I can honestly say that the staff were all very friendly. And the owner (he confirmed when I asked if he was) was extremely personable with the regulars who walked in the door. That sort of "neighborhood feel" isn't seen too often in the restaurant community anymore, so it was nice to see & experience that sort of...

I always come here and order from here, so delicious and usually very friendly but today they were closing at 7. It was 6:40 and the new girl at the counter said that my 2 young kids could not sit and eat their food that I just paid for. They had 20 minutes until they closed, so I had to go sit in the car and eat with my children. They were finished eating before 7pm. I have never had a bad experience here before but this new girl needs to go, everyone else extremely friendly while this girl was on her phone non stop the whole time we were in he store. She wasn’t worried about anything besides being on her phone, and she couldn’t bother to take our order meanwhile the other counter girl was answering phones getting food together and took my order. I will never...

I’ve eaten here three times the past two weeks. Pizza was good. Cheesesteak wasn’t anything special. Tonight I got a chicken parm sandwich. Let’s just say that if I wanted frozen kids menu chicken fingers with pizza sauce on a roll from yesterday I’d go to Wawa. And I NEVER eat Wawa food. The mozzarella cheese fries barely had cheese. I would have paid $20 more for real food. Complete disgrace, waste of time and hard earned money. I took three bites and threw rest out front on the lawn for the stray cats. Never again. What a rip off. I feel like I’m owed my $17 back. If you want I’ll come there and teach who ever is in charge how to make chicken cutlets. For free. I can imagine what their...
