Petrone's Pizza

On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a pizza pie from Petrone’s.

Okay it was actually a chicken kabob wrap but pizza pie sounded better.

Pizza is very subjective but when you ask Melrosian’s their favorite pizza establishment, 90% of the time they will say Petrone’s.

I can’t speak to their pizza, but I will say their chef’s salad with creamy Italian and their FRESH homemade pita bread is exceptional. I also love their chicken soup and chicken kabob wrap. I have not had their buffalo chicken calzone but every time I go in there someone orders one.

In addition to the pizza, calzones, wraps, they serve hot and cold subs, club sandwiches, pastas, and dinners. There is something for everyone on their menu. The portions are generous and the prices reasonable.

The service is fast and pleasant at this family owned and run restaurant. Petrone’s does a brisk delivery service but there are seats to eat inside or out.

I love that every fundraiser I go to there is a gift certificate to Petrone’s pizza as part of the raffles. I love a place that supports its community.

It is easy to see why Petrone’s has been a staple in Melrose for 40 years!
