Came in yesterday evening for dinner, was told could not get Mozzarella on my meat ball sub nor my chicken parm because the cheese they use for pizza is way to expensive & I said I would pay extra & was told that was not an option… pasta was over cooked, meatball sub was barely warm, booths were dirty, bathroom smelled like someone died in there, will not be returning

This location has been here for well over 30 years. We would take trips here on the weeknds when l was young to get a cheese pizza and french fries.
We had not had pizza from here in a minute, so we called our order in (large pepperoni with extra cheese) for pickup. We arrived 20 minutes later and our order was ready. The associate at the counter was pleasant and we were out the door on our way home to enjoy.
Whe we got home, the pizza was hot and fresh with an amazing amount of cheese. So much in fact, the we had to ensure that we chewed hard every bite of the cheese before swallowing so that we didn’t have to perform the Heimlich maneuver on one another… l say that in a good way. The pepperoni was another thing. They must have had a pepperoni czar in the kitchen slapping the pizza makers hands to keep them in line. Next time, no extra cheese but definitely extra pepperoni!

I have been eating Sorrentos since I was old enough to chew. My family’s tradition was to get Sorrentos pizza and subs and meet at grandmas house for every birthday! My mom would always get pizza at least 1x a week if not 2x. I am now 27 years old and still eat there often. I love the pizza and cheesesteaks. Plus side is their shaved ice in their drinks. I like how they just ramped up online ordering (needs some tweaking). Waiting for the day they have delivery!

Best pizza ever. Clean and great air conditioning. New app is easy and fun. Go and try it while the carnival is here.

Best pizza in Baltimore hands down. Came here all the time as a kid and now make the drive from Carroll County to get a pizza at least once a month. Thin crust, great sauce.

This is the best pizza ever! It is not fancy pizza. It is simple, thin crust cheesy pizza with just the right amount of sauce. The prices are very reasonable– a large cheese pizza is only $ 10. It is a great place to take the family and always clean.

Friendly staff in a family friendly setting, Sorrento’s of Arbutus is my place to go for a cold cut sub. There is no reserved seating, so it is a first come basis. They have pretty good pizza, too. It is on the greasy side.
In my opinion, what sets Sorrento’s of Arbutus apart from other places is the shaved ice. Most places will serve just regular cubed ice in their soft drinks, but I really enjoy the shaved ice. Sometimes I will just go to Sorrento’s for a soda with the shaved ice.

Nice clean well kept family style restaurant. I was told they are celebrating their 50th Anniversary owned by the same family.
I had the Lasagna w/​salad and enjoyed it. They offer wine and beer, both seemed reasonably priced. I plan to try them again during the lunch hour.
I was told that Friday night it is very hard to get a table.

Pizza was decent… and it was certainly fresh out of the oven. I found it a little too greasy for my taste, but the crust and sauce were good. My friend had a roast beef sub that he raved over. The counter ladies (where we sat) were friendly and service was quick enough. Fun atmosphere — the «real» Baltimore, I was told.

Food is pretty bad, but they are cheap! They’ve got a Pizza & pitcher of beer combo for like $ 12. It’s definitely family friendly, or college kid friendly. Not a grown up spot, really. Ok for what it is.

This is my go to pizza joint! I love the pizza, sauce, cheese, and crust. I also like the wings and cheese steaks. I’ve had some of the other things on the menu but crave the other stuff! The restaurant is clean and family owned. They play oldies music and have beer and wine. If your looking good hot pizza this your place!

Pizza is great! Shrimp salad sandwich is also really good. The staff can be much nicer. They always seem inconvenienced when you need to place a order, get a to go box, etc.

Okay, I grew up in Arbutus and still live nearby, so Sorrento’s has been in my life for a long time. It’s my go-​to place for an Italian cold-​cut sub, and their «Steak Sorrento» sub is an amazing, gooey, cheesy version of the cheese steak with an Italian flair.
While I prefer more upscale pizza, sometimes Sorrento’s greasy, cheesy, thin crust pizza is exactly what I want (mostly when I’m hungover or stressed out).

Pizza and the occasional steak & cheese sub is why we grab a meal from Sorrentos. Those have been solid staples for years. We don’t stray far from the pizza front, sticking with pepperoni, onions, mushrooms or some combination of those toppings. Cheese steak sub with the works.
The Sorrentos pizza with its thin crust and olive oil sets a good standard. Other area pizzas (especially the chain pizzas) are too sweet, too dry or too loaded with super fatty and salty items.
Been a customer for many decades now.

I’m not saying they’re terrible they’re just okay. When I work for a armored car company me and my partner used to stop and get lunch. The first two times was good but when we ordered it seem like the person taking the order didn’t wanna be there.

There’s nothing particularly special about this spot.
The food is mediocre at best, so don’t come here expecting a party in your mouth.
I can see why it would be a local fave though. Fairly down-​to-​earth and extremely casual. No high expectations here!

Very family oriented. Been around for generations. Remember going there as a little girl and have now taking all 3 of my children there since they were little. Great atmosphere. Very good food and great prices. They have beer on tap and wine.

It’s nice to have a local family restaurant, but unfortunately I agree with all the comments about the food not being good and the counter service being disorganized. I would not get pizza here when there are much better alternatives literally within shouting distance. I have occasionally gotten dinner foods like spaghetti and meatballs here, but as someone else said, they taste pretty bland. Meatballs are not flavorful, they taste like big wads of meat.
This is a good un-​fancy place to take kids, and it’s often full of families with kids, or sports teams of kids, but the atmosphere is like a school cafeteria. It’s not a comfortable place for adults to sit and eat.

I did not really like the pizza here, many moons ago when I first moved to the area they sent me a coupon for a free cheese pizza, I took the wife and ate here and it was ok. I went back a few times for cheese fries and sanwiches but never really gushed over it like I do for Leto’s pizza. Sorry Sorrento family the Leto’s beat you out.
On the other hand the place was clean the service was good and it was full of families eating food it has a very local feel and nice enviroment. But Leto’s is still better.
