For someone who doesn't enjoy pizza, there pizza is quite yummy. This is a family owned place who really seem to love what they do. While we were there, a lot of regulars were there and I enjoyed seeing them all converse with one another. It's also byob so next time, I'll bring some vino. We ordered a medium pizza half mushroom and half pepperoni. I also ordered a garden salad. Nothing too special on the salad. I've made better at home. Overall, this is a great place to take the family on a pizza night. I'm interested in venturing out and trying something new on the menu.

Solid New York style cheese pizza at decent prices! Though the crust is slightly thicker then actual New York style pizza in New York, I loved this pizza. (I actually prefer a thicker crust because it often has more crust intergrity!) The cheese is fresh and tasty, and the sauce is not too sweet. Will be back to grab another lunch or dinner to go!

Friendly, family owned local place. The pizza was just average to me (but I am a self-declared pizza snob). My husband likes it here, a lot. We had their pizza twice during out trip back east. I'm not crazy about their pepperoni, just too spicy for me. I'll only be back if my husband wants to go.

Best Pizza I've had all over East and West Norriton! They may be a little more expensive than others, but you get what you pay for. My husband and I have eaten pizza from every pizza shop around our area and keep going back to Padrino's. He prefers sausage and I like plain or with olives. We get a 1/2 and 1/2. I just wish they would deliver. But, one thing I've noticed, when we pick it up and bring it home (10 mins away), it's still hot! The one draw back is their lack of credit card acceptance. They do have an ATM Machine, but as we all know, they come with service charges. So, bring cash with you. Padrino's is now the only place where we'll buy that Friday night (I don't feel like cooking, let's get a pizza) dinner!

BYOB! Their recipe for red sauce is the best! It's what sets them apart from the typical pizza shops. The flavor is on the sweet side, just the way I like it! It's what makes their Italian foods stand out. Our fav's are their Chicken Cobb salad, Spinach Ravioli entree & Calzones. The Chicken Cobb salad is the best I've ever had, hands down! The portion is very, very generous! It's overflowing with fresh veggies: tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, not just romaine lettuce. Lots of hard boiled eggs and real bacon, too. The chicken is grilled fresh for you and served hot atop the salad. The dressing is paired perfectly with it! The Spinach Ravioli is superb every time I get it! It's served hot in the dish it's baked in. The ravioli is covered in their signature sauce then smothered in Italian cheeses and baked to perfection! It's served with a "real" Italian side salad and fresh bread. Simply Yummy! They do a TON of takeout pizza business!!! It must be one fabulous pie for the number of pizzas we watch going out the door when we're there! Could it be their signature sauce that sets it apart? I'm not sure cause I've never had any. But please, let me know! This is a family owned restaurant. They smile when you come in, keep the restaurant clean, and have a system for keeping things flowing. You place your order at the counter, they deliver it to your table, you clean up after yourself. Saving yourself 20% bc there's also no need for tipping. Try Padrino's! I promise you'll have a new favorite Italian pizza/sandwich shop/restaurant, too!

Nothing special or extraordinarily delicious that makes them worth going to them ATM to withdrawal cash. Main issue with place is that they only accept cash. ITS THE 21ST CENTURY - HELLO, EVERYBODY ACCEPTS CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS. .

Padrino's is among the best pizza places in southern Montgomery County. Everything about their pies is exactly what one would want out of a New York style pizza: cheese is fantastic, crust is great, sauce is exquisite, toppings are great. Go here. Just remember, cash only!

not the best pizza ive ever had but by far not the worst either. We went and got a rustica chicken pizza which was decent but the garlic sauce lacked much garlic for a "white pizza" got a cannolli it was alright too nothing to rave about but i dont hate it either.

This is one of my first stops whenever I am in town. I am purist when it comes to Philly-style pizza (2 plain slices and I am good to go). Padrino's fits the bill every time and has not failed me yet. While the lack of a credit card option does cramp my cashless society style, it is a small price to pay for consistently good pizza. Check it out - you will not be disappointed.

Best pizza I've ever had. This has been my family's pizza joint for years. We'd get it for big get-togethers when I was growing up, it would be our welcome home meal on college breaks and now I'm so happy when I go home and find out it's Padrino's for dinner. It's really all about the pizza here. From just their plain to their specialties to the Sicilian, it all just rocks. The crust is delicious and is cooked just right. The cheese and sauce taste great and isn't greasy at all. They load on the toppings, especially when you get the specialty pizzas. No matter what, we almost always include a Red Rustica (with a request of garlic) in our order - it's grilled chicken and roasted red peppers with the standard cheese and sauce. Sounds simple, but it's truly the best. Sal's Favorite is also really good. I haven't had everything on their menu, but I do know their chicken parm sub is good, they make decent cheesesteaks and hoagies and their salads are actually huge and packed with amazingness. I almost forgot their strombolis, which are just as good as the pizza... need I say more. The people who work there are really friendly - seems like a big Italian family for the most part. Antonio was always the best, asking about the family and knowing what we wanted, but he isn't always around as much anymore. You have to try Padrino's once. I'm willing to bet it will be a very long time before you find pizza that's any better. I haven't yet!

My family has been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years now. The food has always been top notch, the service is friendly and the dining room is quaint and clean. A large screen TV on the wall is almost always showing soccer (and the commentators talking in Italian lends to the ambiance). Great place for a Friday night pizza with the family.

Our go to place for very good authentic Italian pizza. All are good especially the buffalo chicken, mushroom, and veggie. They don't take charge cards which is annoying and the seating area is small so I recommend take out for max enjoyment.

I have been getting pizza and cheesesteaks at Padrino's for years. The service is a little slow but always done with a smile. The pizza is great. I get take out as the place is usually too crowded for me.

My fiance and I have been enjoying a declicious Friday night pizza from Padrino's for the past year and a half. Every week, we looked forward to such a great wind down, relax, and kick it with a few yummy slices like two happy teenage mutant ninja turtles. This pizza had the perfect classic Italian crust, sauce and cheese, always hot and fresh from the oven with the best flavor! Not too sweet. No gritty semolina flour. Just right. We had searched long and hard and tried many local establishments and had been disappointed with other pizza joints and their greasy, sauce-on-top, or too doughy pizza...Until we fell in LOVE with Padrino's perfect pies However, we now have a major BEEF with this Padrino's...the place where everybody knew us by name, and knew our Friday night order by heart. After a year and a half of loyalty to Padrino's pizza and wings, two weeks ago we were presented with a frequent customer card. Supposedly this program has existed for some time now. With every 10 punches customers get a free pizza!! Well Well Well!!! It would have been nice to know that a year and a half ago!!! We could have been enjoying our 10 free pizzas by now. Seriously??! Now for the straw that broke the camel's back. Last Friday night we walked in with our $20 bill to pay for our large cheese pizza and wings. We always leave with a few dollars change, so the price had always been right. That is UNTIL last Friday when the cashier rang us up and we were now a few dollars short!! Padrino's is a cash-only establishment so you can imagine our horror and embarrassment when a line of people out the door behind us watched as we were left standing without enough cash to pay for our dinner! Unfortunately, Padrino's decided to raise their prices. They must now be importing their cheese from very hoity-toity cows because a $20 no longer covers the cost of take out on a Friday night. And here's the true kicker. Padrino's actually lost track of OUR pizza that night, so we had to settle for someone else's stale cold pizza, with the cheese unevenly melted to one side. It was a sour slice to swallow. And this only a week after receiving our frequent customer card. It was a sad sad break-up, a large rip of a band-aid, and just like that, our love affair with Padrino's was over. If anyone in the area has a recommendation, we are now sadly back on the market for a new favorite Friday night pizza joint. Signed, A very sad Leonardo and Donatello

I've been coming here for over 10 years now. There are too many pizza places in the area and this is OURS. We used to live within a minute of the place but now that we live about 20 minutes away, we still drive to get their food. They are one of the only places in the area that still has a Chicken Parm sub (carbs with your carbs). Their pizza is also top notch, it's nothing fancy its just amazing pizza. Most other places in the area are either greasy or soggy. The crust is thin, crispy and perfect. The atmosphere on a weekend night is packed, and there's a reason why. Make sure to also watch some italian television or soccer while waiting for take out. Definitely put something in the tip jar, you won't be disappointed.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
