Sorrento’s Pizza

I’m a guy who likes his pizza, and I gotta say, I liked this pizza. Didn’t *love*, but liked, and for the price you can’t go wrong. I’ll keep looking for the perfect slice, but for the perfect *price* go with Sorrento’s.
Also: Consider its location if you’re ordering on Friday or Saturday night, it’s a campus parlor and those kids are hungry, so expect a long delivery time.

Waited 25 minutes for a pineapple and olive pizza. On arrival the pizza was tasteless and low quality. I would only recommend it to people who enjoy the taste of cardboard.

So this isn’t the best pizza in town, however if you’re on a budget craving good tasting pizza, then this is the place to go. Their crust is not bad. Plus, they’re quick, and they offer discounts for students/​staff.

Still searching for an adequate pizza shop I found Sorrento’s on Bing. They had a coupon for four large pizzas for $ 20.00. Even if the pizza was crappy, it’s still four pies for twenty dollars. The coupon also said that they offered toppings for $ 2.00. I ordered the special, mentioned the coupon and added pepperoni to two of the pizzas. The girl said it would be $ 29.97 (or something close to that) and when I asked why it was four dollars more than it should be she said the price was $ 24.00 not $ 20.00. The coupon is on their website so if they aren’t responsible enough to update it then why should I have to pay more than advertised? The pizza took 66 minutes to arrive which, unless I woke up in an alternative universe where math is done differently, is a lot longer than 45 minutes. Will I order here again? If they the coupon which will probably still be up I might. I printed the page with the coupon and gave it to the driver — whether it gets to the manager or not remains to be seen. It might sound petty to quibble over four dollars but it’s the principal of the matter — don’t advertise (even on your own website) if you aren’t going to back it up.

I don’t care what anyone says. I love Sorrento’s pizza. My dad used to bring me here as a kid when he worked across the street. As an adult, I figured I would be really disappointed, but it was just as good as I remember the pizza.
Coming in for the first time at dinner time, my friends and I ordered an extra large pizza with pepperoni and extra cheese for $ 10. The pizza is super greasy and will literally melt the paper plate away. It arrives at your table fresh out of the oven and loaded with cheese and toppings. Everything about this pizza is fantastic. I pulled down four slices at dinner and three slices during the night. I love this cheap pizza. It’s not authentic Italian, but it is so good nonetheless.
The employees are super nice and casual, and the police were here eating dinner when we were. That is always a good sign in my book. My friends and I have started coming in regularly after our night classes end at 9 PM because we start craving their pizza in the middle of class.
Super cheap and fast!

Living in the Scranton/​Old Forge area I’m very picky about my pizza when traveling but I have to say that Sorrento’s is one of the best «cheap pizzas» I’ve encountered in my travels. Despite it’s price, the pizza certainly doesn’t taste like something you would consider a cheaper pizza and it’s definitely something I would eat regularly if I lived in the area.

Had the Meatball Calzone. Meatballs had good flavor, plenty of cheese, and the cheese was both Ricotta and provolone. The crust had a good flavor, but was a bit tough. Chewy. Personal preference is for it to be a bit flakier.
Other than that, it was good.
Had a side salad, Italian dressing. Good quantity of lettuce, two small Roma tomatoes, and good flavor for the dressing.

This place has the worst customer service ever, I would go to Antoons over this garbage place any day. The owner kicked me out even when I was buying a pie from the place. Worst experience of my life!

They have thick crust pizza! Since I’ve moved to Pittsburgh, I’ve been on the hunt for great think crust pizza … and now I have two places to go (here and Pizza Perfecta in Shadyside)!
I got the Chicago style pizza — which I think was great! I definitely plan on coming back to try their other types of pizza.

Good food and reasonably priced. Fairly fast too. Always friendly! I always takeout from here.

IT’S FIVE DOLLAR PIZZA!!!
Okay, I’ll be the first to admit that Sorrento’s is not the best or classiest pizza joint in Pittsburgh. But it’s cheap and open late (until around 3 on the weekend). For college students this place is always a good choice… especially after a late night of partying. After around 10 is when the place really gets packed, mostly because of their $ 5 large pizza deal (starts at 8PM and ends at closing).
The pizza is okay (it’s neither outstanding nor disgusting), but I’ve definitely paid more for much worse in Pittsburgh. It has never been under-​cooked and is ready pretty quickly. If you are doing a late night pick-​up I would suggest calling in your order to avoid waiting in line surrounded by super drunk college kids (although the conversations you can’t help but overhear are pretty funny). I would say splurge and pay the extra $ 1 for their super yummy BUTTERMILK RANCH (if I could I would probably drink it… andI basically do…) The ranch is ADDICTIVE so I don’t mind paying a bit extra. The pizza is hot and super cheesy with a thin crust and okay sauce.
I’ve had times when I’ve literally eaten a whole box by myself with two containers of ranch (cuz the guys didn’t want to share) and I loved every moment of it… even though my stomach wasn’t too happy. I’d say give it a try! Instead of paying $ 3 for a slice, grab a box or two with some friends and stop by the 24-​hour Rite-​Aid for 2 for $ 3 2-​Liter Pepsi.

This is my favorite place to grab a quick lunch in Oakland. Fast service, with a smile, and I’ve never ordered something I didn’t like. I’m a huge fan of their breadsticks and the calzones are pretty good too.

Sometimes the holes-​in-​the-​wall have something the pretty places don’t; in this case, Sorrento’s Pizza is that old, dank place that you’d normally pass right by, but if you give it a chance you’ll be amazed.
If you’re tipsy or simply out late at night, this place is not to be passed by… not even for the competition down the street. Unlike the latter, Sorrento’s has indoor seating which comes in handy in the winter, I’m sure!
The pizza is great. I’ve paid $ 15+ for a pizza that was far below the taste, quality, and speed of the $ 5 pie at Sorrento’s!
A perfect end to a great, inebriated, or just long night is simple: Sorrento’s!

Ignoring the somewhat shabby interior with old wooden booths in a relatively drab setting, this place is awesome. Can you say $ 5 large pizza? Out in Oakland at a late hour? Why not finish your night with some pizza? Hungry for lunch? $ 5 pizza will do. Maybe a quick dinner? $ 5 pizza is right here. This is not any cheapo grease-​laden, coronary vessel oblietaring POS. This pizza is high quality, incredibly tasty, and honestly probably the best value in all of Pittsburgh. And with that being said, 5 stars for $ 5 pizza.

You shouldn’t go here expecting a classy meal. If you are drunk, however, and after the munchies in my opinion this is the best late food you can get. You’ll swallow the $ 5 14″ pizza whole and kick yourself in the morning. It has a certain taste that’s unforgettable and perfect when you’ve had a long night.
The ranch used to be free, but the owners discovered it’s highly addictive and now charge a dollar for it. It is the best ranch dressing I’ve ever had. I’ve talked with the cashier and she informs me the recipe is kept secret even from her. Darn.
And… they even have great pizza and sandwiches for when they’re trying to be a real restaurant during the day. Seriously, the sandwiches are pretty incredible and cheap. Have at it.

I can’t believe more people haven’t reviewed Sorrento’s! I love this place!
I lived on Atwood Street over the summer and ate here probably twice a week. $ 5 large pizzas, but they are actually GOOD. No, this isn’t your authentic Italian pizza or New York style pizza, in fact I’m not sure what exactly it is. But I do know that the crust is crispy yet chewy, the sauce is good (not too-​sweet or too-​heavy), and there’s tons and tons of cheese. I had a friend who worked at a couple different pizza shops in town who said that Sorrento’s used the freshest ingredients that he had seen, which probably accounts for its deliciousness. Just go on the earlier side of the $ 5 deal to miss the bulk of the drunk student crowd.
Also their handwritten sign denoting «Free Wi-​Fi» cracks me up every time (yeah, it doesn’t take much).

The crust was really good, but there was too much cheese /​too little sauce. The cheese was undercooked a little as well, not burnt or bubbly, and it separated from the slice. We ordered near closing though, so it might be better earlier in the day.
