Petey’s Pizza

Since the new owner took over 180 degree in service. I go for the lunch special when on that side of town. What a slice!

I ordered a Margarita Pizza from Petey’s to be delivered to my home. The pizza was fantastic, the dough tasted fresh and so were the greens and tomatoes. The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is because the delivery driver got lost, called me 3 times and proceeded to keep me on the phone while he zipped around town looking for my condo. My pizza was cold when it got to my place.

So absolutely sad that Petey’s changed ownership again. Ordered pizza today expecting the delicious New York style pizza that we always got, and what we received was completely overpriced disgusting pizza. Don’t bother eating here, even the chain pizzas as better than these. No flavor.

I ordered from Petey’s today. About 45 minutes later (for a sandwich and a soda) I received a call from the driver. He was very upset, and wanted to know why nobody was answering the door. He claimed he had been knocking on it for five minutes, and let me know how inconvenienced he was. I assured him that nobody had been at my door at any point of this day as I was sitting next to it. I then asked him where he was exactly. He responded with my address, and I assured him that my door was now open with me standing in it. I know where my own house is, and there was nobody at my door. After a few minutes of him becoming more and more disgruntled, curt, and annoyed (I suppose it’s MY fault he can’t read an address), I asked him why he was acting like such an @sshole. The food arrived and I spoke with the owner, apparently the driver’s father, who served up the same level of disrespect as his child. He just called back to let me know that he’s on his way over to beat me up.
Luckily, I own a gun.

I have been going here for years, Petey and the old owners were so gracious, friendly and the food was amazing. Whenever new ownership took over, it went to garbage. We have gone twice now, first experience not great, but we decided to give it another chance… for 2 people we got 1 large pizza, 2 drinks, 2 side salads and our bill was $ 40. That is insane! No one says hi when you walk in, the food is now mediocre and there is no one in there anymore. They have turned a long time customer to go somewhere else. Bring back the old owners!

This place absolutely needs to fix their refund policies and procedures. after placing an order and being told they deliver to where i was located, and processing my card info, they call me back and tell me they wont deliver because i was too far. been trying for over 5 weeks to get my refund but they conveniently cant seem to find my transaction although my bank can put it within a 2-​hour frame on the specific day. the manager was polite and seemed to take an interest in solving this issue but never returned with any follow-​up information although i called more than twice. good thing the bank will replace the funds but for future reference, dont prepay for delivery.

This place is awesome! I come here for lunch at least once a week! 2 large slices of greasy New York style pizza with a drink for 6 bucks!!! I love it!

This place has been going down fast. i have had 711 beef patties larger then the calzone I ordered … And when I ask the employee about it … Well let say she was more than less than helpful. If I wanted crap I would ordered from papa johns at half the price.

Great pizza from an awesome neighborhood pizzeria! Garlic knots here are awesome. Excellent service from Nick and Glen.

Walked out. Serves bottled water only claims tap water isn’t good for you. Enough said.
1-​7-​2015 update. Owner says he is pricing a filtration system. Fair enough. There are going to be people with environmental concerns who don’t patronize restaurants that are bottled water only. That was my only point.
No need though for personal comments.
The last thing I would think the owner would want is for people to now verify that crusts, knots, ice and sauces are indeed either completely factory-​made off-​premise or made in-​house exclusively with bottled water.

What in the Hell Happened to This Place!!!
They WERE my absolute favorite place for delivery. I bragged them up to all my local friends and acquaintances because EVERYTHING I got from them was ON POINT any time I ordered.
I’ve noticed I’ve been less and less pleased with portions and flavors so I’ve tapered off for ordering with the embarrassing frequency we were ordering (it was nightly or every other night for awhile). Today officially killed it.
I ordered chicken fingers and a pepperoni pizza. Normally total winners. I open up the extremely heavy container for the chicken fingers and what I find are 3 monsters pieces of some sort of heavily breaded and WAY over cooked «meats» of some sort. Honestly, they gave me ATX flashbacks as they look like chicken fried steak. I’m immediately disappointed so I call up convinced I’ve been given the wrong dish. I speak with manager who immediate goes on the defensive stating these are their new chicken fingers and everyone loves them. If that’s true, God help the people of this city — you will truly eat ANYTHING. He tells me he will make more and send them out and seems put-​out about the whole thing. Well if this is the new normal, I don’t want it. He gets more annoyed and asks what I want. I advise him that I have ordered from this restaurant religiously, to go look up my account if he doesn’t believe me, and I’d like a credit for it. After I get upset, he turns nicer and more accommodating and I now have a credit for the chicken fingers. He tells me to give them a try and I tell him I will.
How were they? AWFUL. How was the pizza? I wish I had ordered Pizza Hut and that I had waited to call and complain because I’d have asked for a full credit.
So they will get to keep my chichen finger credit. Cause unless they are having a MASSIVELY bad day, they are not the Petey’s I knew and LOVED. Oh well. They were amazing while they lasted.: (

Orders the sasuage roll dough was uncooked. Menus said it would have onions and peppers all it had was A TON of cheese and some slices of meat… that did not taste like anything remotly close to sasuage. Ordered chicken parm and it was a thin slice of chicken put on top some pasta and sauce. Never again. Couldn’t even call to get my money back. Never again… don’t eat here unless you want a stomach ache and an empty wallet. 15 bucks for food that looks and tastes like its made in prison. Way over priced and all cheap ingredients. Foodie beware…

Pizza was really good. Had special where I could get 1 topping jumbo pizza with these 7 huge wings and a liter of rc. All for $ 20. Ton of food for price. Very happy. good wings too.

I almost wish I reviewed this place prior because they have, to date, been sooo good. Something must’ve changed tho. Being from So Jersey I’ve waited for a pizza place to offer panzerotties and not only do they but they’re awesome. Were awesome. Been a loyal customer only ordering take out weekends from them for awhile but tonight after a girl answered with «hello» then «huh what — hold» then «yeah — what» again, eventually my order arrived, the driver was lost since the confused girl who answered the phone took my address down wrong — all reasonable mistakes on a busy night, but then opened box to find raw dough wrapped around still frozen cheese. Probably 70 orders later — after tonight, I won’t be back and will stop recommending as I have very frequently.

Petey’s is probably the thing I miss most about living in Orlando (sorry family!)
When I was living in Colonialtown I ordered from there pretty close to once a week.
The first time I went, a little over two years ago, I got the Margherita, because I feel that should be a good measure of how competent a pizza place is. I was completely blown away and it quickly became my go to pizza spot.
The staff, at least when I was going there, is super friendly and always remembered me, even just by what I ordered over the phone. They also consistently have great deals.
Petey’s is so good that I have been living in Miami since January and just now decided to write a review for it.
*edit: Sounds like the folks I was referring to have since left the operation, so if this review is now inaccurate, whoops!

I love their Pizza by the slice. It is just about perfect for me, thin but crispy crust, and a great balance of sauce and cheese. The interior is standard Pizza parlor with no frills.

Ick. Took forever to deliver and the order was wrong when it arrived. The wings were so gross that even my wasted friends didn’t touch them. Pizza was disappointing as well. Oh well.

I’ve been getting delivery from this place for a few years and I’ve enjoyed it very much until my most recent delivery. Not sure if it was just an off night or what. I got the house special pizza and when it was delivered it was a mess. The pizza was soggy and was so overloaded with green peppers and onions that you could lift a slice up without the slice tearing.
The toppings didn’t seem fresh, the green peppers were large strips that were complete mush, the onions were just slices laid across the top that were hard to eat because you’d get a huge chunk of onion. There were no meatballs on the pizza even though it was supposed to have them.
I hate posting negative reviews but this pizza was really disappointing. I couldn’t even have leftover today because it was so bad.
Like I said, this place usually has really good pizza with a crispy crust but the pizza last night has me looking for a new place. :(

I recently grabbed two slices here, one for the hubby, one for me. I was in New York about 2 weeks ago and tried a few pizza places, so the taste of genuine pizza was clearly in my memory.
We only got two slices because I just wanted to try and see if it was at least a decent choice for pizza.
We seriously don’t regret it. The pizza slice was large, thin, with just enough sauce for flavor but not to weigh it down or overwhelm the rest of the ingredients. Simple elements, combined in a simple way to create the familiar and wonderful taste of really delicious pizza. We found our new pizza place.

Petey’s Pizza has become one of our favorite places to pick up pizza here in Orlando. We’ve always been pleased with our pie. While we’re pretty basic with our pizza due to picky kids, we’re happy that such basic pies can be tasty. The sauce is perfect and the cheese just the right amount.
We always call to see what specials they have going on and with these prices there’s no reason why anyone should be purchasing corporate crap. Our last pick-​up we got a free order of garlic knots with our 16″ pizza. Oh my, those knots were amazing!
While we’ve done pick-​up most of the time we have stopped in for lunch. My husband & I each ordered the two slices with one topping and a soda for $ 4.99. The service was incredibly friendly and the pizza was delish as usual. I like when I dine in I can get that extra crunch that I sometimes loose during delivery.
I’d like to try some other items on their menu, but it’s hard when I know we’re all going to be quite happy with our pizza!
