Pandini’s

Ordinary pizza place but their chicken-​bacon-​blue cheese salad was excellent.
Restaurant is clean, low priced and otherwise a decent place for a casual meal.
Self serve.

I’d be able to comment on the food if anyone bothered to acknowledge us, let alone take our orders. Instead we stood at the register, as 2 staff members walked past us a total of 5 times without so much as a nod or eye contact. Guess they don’t need our business. Good thing theres no shortage of other establishments there willing to take my money.

Nice staff but the food tastes pre-​packed and not that great.
We waited very long and had to remind staff about our missing food.
We would not return

I had the BBQ Chicken pizza which was delicious, but the kid’s meals were horrible. I ordered Mac & Cheese for the kids and they didn’t finish it (which is usually not the case with mac and cheese). I took a bite and I could see why. The cheese tasted like melted cheese wiz, and they used a penne pasta. Wasn’t tasty at all.
Stick to the pizza!

customer service sucks except one guy
the rest are teenagers that look ready to quit
no air conditioner
pizza is small
every serving feels kids size
fries are good

It was okay, quick, and cheap. Definitely a good place to stop if you’re running around the stores with a full family. The main issue I had was that the crust isn’t strong enough to hold up the toppings if you order a specialty pizza. I’ve been told that the plain pizza fares better though. If you go and don’t mind it being messy the spinach artichoke was tasty.

Perfect casual on the go lunch place, fun menu often with special limited time items so there’s always a surprise choice to try something new or even exotic. You should go and terrific tables just outside and very kid friendly.

Quick service. Very good execution. The labretti sandwiches are a fun concept. Chicken Caesar had great flavor, as did the Mediterranean. This place should not be rated as low as it is.

After waiting over 45 mins for a small pizza and salad during a weekday afternoon, I was relatively disappointed. Once my food was finally ready, my pizza was very burnt and they forgot to give me the salad. For such a small meal, I would have experienced much better.

I go to Lehigh and the Pandini’s there is no different from this one, except they don’t take Gold Plus (Pita Pit next door takes it) and the food is much more expensive and taxed. All of their pizzas taste the same and they’re way too small for their size. I did like the Italian music, though.

Okay, here is the deal with this place. The food is awesome. I really like it, and during the winter I have no gripes. But then. the Summer comes, and it gets hot outside. Problem is their restaurant face is all glass. You know what happens? Greenhouse Effect. Many of their food items are hot, and nothing is worse then eating HOT food in a hot restaurant. I ate there one time in the Summer… I was sweating bullets. Not enjoyable. I don’t know if the owner is trying to cut costs by not running the A/​C or if it just can’t keep up, but I would have to say avoid this place on a hot Summer day, unless you enjoy eating hot food in a hot restaurant.
As I stated before, the food is excellent, but it’s not just about the food, its about the environment, and no one likes to eat in the Sahara.

Pizza was ok but a horrible sour odor emanating from the bathroom makes you wonder.

This is a great place to go meet up with friends after watching a movie at the Rave. The Thai chicken pizza will karate kick your taste buds with a tangy bang. It’s good, try it.

Talk about substandard food. Their pizza crust is so thin you can see through it. The 10 inch pizza they serve is probably measured before they make the crust. I’d get a better value at Mario’s Café on 378, just five minutes away and has way better food.

When a Lehigh student hears the name Pandini’s, they think of a very limited menu, chicken labrettis, and sub-​par personal pizzas. The other day, Pita Pit was closed and since I was starving, I just went next door to Pandini’s. It feels EXACTLY like the one at Lehigh. Maybe a little bit bigger, but the furniture and atmosphere is almost identical. Looking at the menu I felt a little bit relieved, seeing as the menu was much larger than the one at LU. I proceeded to order a chicken ranch BLT labretti. The labretti is pizza dough folded over the filling, making something similar to a pita sandwich. I added a few bucks to get italian wedding soup too. The labretti was pretty good. The soup was so-​so. This place will give the name Pandini’s a better rep (if you’re an LU student or former). It wasn’t the best food in the world, but I left satisfied.

Ok, A young New York native like myself can dig a place like the Shops at the Promenade outdoor mall. Ritzy, glamourous high-​end stores, and restaurants in an outdoor setting make this mall the go to spot during the warmer months of the year. However if high end restaurants such as Melt, Kome’, and Pacifico are a little too rich for your wallet, a wonderful alternative is Pandini’s, with their delicious Italian meals.
When I take my daughter here I always get her the Kids personal pizza with a box of Apple Juice. Priced at 4 $ her kids meal is quite big so she never finishes her meal. Oh well! All the more for dad! lol. I always eat from their Artisan Pizza menu or their pasta menu. The bbq chicken Artisan pizza, and the Thai Peanut Chicken with Linguini are must haves. Admittedly, most of the menu is not your typical authentic Italian, but more like Italian fusion with other worldly inspirations, all delicious nonetheless.
Also huge kudos to the staff who take the time to ask how you’ve enjoyed your meal and always open the doors to the entrance for me when my family and I come and leave. (I usually have both daughters in a double stroller you don’t know how much of a convinience it is to have someone hold open the entrance for you)
If your not looking to spend huge bucks when eating at the Promenade, stick with Pandini’s.
