Kimmie is the most amazing waitress I have ever had. She has such a big heart. I came into al’s for my birthday and she made it so special by finding a candle just for me and singing happy birthday as she delivered my meal. If you are going to the bar at al’s of Enola defined come and visit Kimmie she will take great care of you.

Bad bad. Delivery takes forever. We ordered gf and only half of our order was made that way. We called to tell them and they sent someone out with new food but it took another 45 mins! No apology, no refund, never call them again

Pizza/Subs. 5 Stars! Tried something different and ordered the Penne with Salmon that was to be served with a «blush sauce»… Unfortunately it’s just penne, marinara and a piece of salmon on top… Disappointed. Sticking to the basics from now on.

In a strange snafu that had part of our party waiting at Al’s of Hampden and the other part of our party waiting at Al’s Pizza and Subs, we ended-up travelling to Al’s Pizza and Subs to meet the part of our party that made a series of seemingly obvious mental errors. What do I describe as ‘seemingly obvious mental errors’? Well, before we left, I gave the other party the address and he put it into his GPS. He pulled-out of the driveway and left in front of me. Allegedly though, his phone died and so they tried to pullover to inform me of that. I wasn’t sure what he was doing, and I don’t screw-around on the road, so I went around him when he pulled over and kept driving — assuming that he was just letting me go first since he had no idea where he was going. Plus, he had two other phones at his disposal in his vehicle and could have called if it were important. Since he didn’t, we went on our way. Apparently, his solution was to just type ‘Al’s’ into Google and then go to the first one that popped-up in Google search — a logical misunderstanding. He arrived at Al’s, sat down, and(here is where my issue starts) ordered one cheese pizza. Umm… why? When we were not present at the restaurant, the logical thing to do would be to call and see where I was. Nope, instead, the logical things to do were to order one large cheese pizza… then call me 5 minutes later and ask where I was. I sat in my car in the Al’s of Hampden parking lot waiting for them because they were behind me, had a larger vehicle, and had a giant thing strapped to the rack on top of their car. Plus, they were not from the area, so it was plausible that he was taking extra time to arrive. Finally, I get a text message with a pic of where they were. I respond that they are in the wrong place. ‘No big deal, here is the correct address’, I thought, and texted them back the right address. But then they called to explain that they already ordered one cheese pizza. Why the hell would you order food when we were going to eat as a group of 9? Furthermore, why would you order only one pizza? That makes no freaking sense. Plus, there are pizza/wing deals at every pizza place in the world when you order ‘packages/specials’, so why would you order everything individually — without the rest of your party? Omg… I’m getting annoyed just thinking about it. Food: I was so annoyed, that the only thing I ordered was wings — mild. In terms of the wings, they were well above average. I ordered them extra crispy. They came out hot and crispy, and their flavor was good. They were sauced appropriately and the bleu cheese that was served with them complimented the overall flavor of the wing. In terms of crispiness, sauce, and flavor, they were a solid 4. In terms of the other food ordered, there was a ham and cheese calzone and the stupid one cheese pizza. My wife said that pizza was above average, and the calzone we did not have any of. Food: 4⁄5 Service: The service was definitely ‘spotty’. There were people there who I observed giving good service, and there were people there who clearly hated their lives. Pretty typical for a place such as this, I suppose. I asked for a cup of water four times before getting one. No, that is not an over-exaggeration. Once when ordering, once again while being rung up, once again after being rung up, and once again when he started to go on to the next people in line… ummm? Service: 3⁄5 Atmosphere: This place has all the feel of an old building that has never been updated over the years. It is a little dingy, low-lighted, and even a little bit depressing. In terms of cleanliness, it was borderline-OK. The bathrooms were also suspect. Overall, I didn’t necessarily feel as if I was eating in the cleanest place, but did not see any glaring issues. Atmosphere: 3⁄5 Price: For what we ordered, the price seemed a little higher than other places, but not so much that it deserved a demerit. Price: 3⁄5 Final Thoughts: The whole experience was soured by a string of ridiculousness that was of no fault of Al’s. Fortunately, I can really separate my personal feelings from the experience and be objective. We started the evening settling on Philly Cheesesteaks because they weren’t from the area, and I had a great place lined-up(plus, that is what my family was craving). Then all of a sudden that changed on a whim to pizza(which I did not want, but then settled on Al’s of Hampden). To then having to eat at a place I did not want to. I associate eating with happiness, and when I have my mind set on eating somewhere, to have that changed not once — but twice — really put me in a crap mood. Of course, and again, this is of no fault of Al’s and I am glad I had the opportunity to try it, and vent at the same time… I would recommend giving this place a shot.

I always stop in here on the way home from Gettysburg. They have a good lunch buffet and some pretty good wraps. They staff is always super friendly and the microbrew selection is pretty extensive. They are always bringing new beers in and have over 30 on tap.

Everytime we are in the area, we HAVE to go here! On Sundays they have an AMAZING buffet with several pizza choices, hot items(Salisbury steak, baked chicken, meatballs, hot veggies…), salad items, Italian sandwich! Highly recommend!

I attended training nearby and had lunch here nearly every day. Their buffet, including a drink and dessert, came to nine dollars including tax. Many of the items on the buffet rotate. There’s a pizza buffet and then around the corner is salad bar with fresh pasta salads and prepared Caesar salad. The hot buffet section was my favorite. They have excellent hot… hot wings and a more barbecue flavored hot wing; one day they had the most excellent seafood and pasta dish. It had actual Sea scallops, bay scallops and big shrimp. For dessert they had, I think it was several selections of ice cream and things like fudge bars etc. in a small cooler. Their soda on tap is Pepsi. They do have an amazing, huge selection of all kinds of beers in bottles that you can take with you or drink there. The only day I got something off the regular menu instead of the buffet, I got the grilled salmon salad. That, sadly, was a total disappointment. The salmon tasted like it was out of the freezer, there was no sign or flavor that reminded me of anything that even came close to being grilled. It was on a bed of lifeless lettuce and some hearty strips of cheese. Blech. One star loss for that and that you have to bus your own plates into a front-swinging old trash can. You have to hold the door open and scrape your plate at the same time.

We order delivery last night. Our order was delivered in the amount of time they said and the delivery boy was polite and nice. The pizza was good nice crust sauce was decent. We also order cheese sticks. Ugh! This has to be the cheapest thing they can order from Sisco!!! The cheese tastes like government cheese and the dipping sauce was spoiled. So I gave ALe’s three stars. When I stop in Here and there the staff is super Nice!!!

We love stopping here on Saturdays. The beer selection is excellent, and the bartender is always the friendliest! When we eat food here, it is always a great deal, and done well.

I’ve been to Al’s several times now and I’ve sampled a variety of their menu. Most recently, I ordered a mini pepperoni, ham, and cheese Stromboli. It was HUGE! It’s more than enough for one meal, so don’t get a regular or large unless you want leftovers! From past experiences, their buffet is decent as well, offering salad, pasta, and pizza options. They bring out fresh items in a timely manner too! I only have two reservations about Al’s, which is why I gave 3 stars versus 5. First, they use a chunkier pizza sauce than I prefer, which doesn’t really stand out from other pizza places(not good or bad, just average). Second, unless you’re getting the buffet, they can be a bit pricy. All in all, it’s a decent, average pizza shop.

Solid pizza shop. Excellent takeout selection for beers. I’d been here several times for the takeout beer alone. Contrary to other reviews, this is not the same as Al’s of Hampden. We actually stopped here for lunch based on reviews of both places. I mistakenly thought you could get Pizza Boy beers here. You can’t, but you can get cheap flights of any 4 beers for only $ 5(apparently unlike Al’s of Hampden)! We sat at the pub. Good service, pretty good pizza shop food for a quick, low key late Sunday lunch. The bread on my cheesesteak seemed fresh baked. Recommended if you’re in the area.

I’ve been going here for years, and it’s my favorite pizza place. Pizzas, strombolis, and appetizers are all excellent. They have an abundance of craft beers if that interests you. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

We were here by chance and did the pizza and wings buffet. Pretty good for buffet food, so I imagine the same food fresh would be even better. The most impressive selection of bottled beer and taps I’ve seen so far.

I WOULDHAVEHAPPILYCALLEDINMYORDER! I really would have. I just wanted to pick up a pizza to go and I only checked Al’s of Enola’s website to see what toppings they had. But by the time you can look at the menu and see the prices of things, you’ve already given them personal information, so I decided just to go ahead and complete the order online. I should have known by the fact that all of their online coupons had expired that I was about to experience a nightmare. Nevertheless, I proceeded blindly and arrived at Al’s of Enola shortly before the time listed on my TWOEMAILCONFIRMATIONS. When I got there, there was a line for the counter nearly to the door. I hate lines, but these guys already suckered me into paying them in advance, so I stood in line as two counter girls slowly and laboriously sludged through all the people in line ahead of me. I finally made it to the counter two minutes after the time on the email confirmation(I arrived 5 minutes early) and the counter girl was asking me all kinds of questions to find my order, hitting her touch screen all over the place. Apparently this fancy piece of equipment is not tied into the fancy online ordering system because they had not even put in my order yet. The mean manager girl went back to the back to see what was going on with my online order and comes back with«the ribbon broke.» You mean to tell me that, in 2014, you have an online ordering system that is NOT interactive with your chief operating system AND runs with a frigging printer ribbon!!! Meanwhile, you just handed me a receipt for the 6-pack of hard cider(seriously overpriced at $ 14) that was printed on a modern printer? WTF??? They were going to remedy the situation by giving me the crab pretzel they already started for another order while my pizza cooked. That would have been fine, if I was eating in — although it would have sucked for the people for whom that crab pretzel was intended. I told them that I did not want to bring home a $ 9 crab pretzel that had already been sitting around for several minutes while my pizza was cooking and I would wait. I have to mention the manager dude who was tap, tap, tapping away on an iPad the whole time, made eye contact with me, and was obviously aware of my situation yet never once came to talk to me or apologize for the mix up. Apparently these people have technology to spare, but can’t seem to make a plain old pizza from an online order form. They certainly have no problem charging your credit card!!! I saw that manager bring my pizza to the counter. He looked me right in the eye while he did it. I saw the counter girl ask him where my crab pretzel was. My pizza sat on that counter, six inches from where the line at the counter ended. It sat there FORSEVENMINUTES(I watched all this go down and made a note of the time) while people reached over my pizza, handing the girl their money, coughing, sneezing, everything that people do. Sadly, that was not the most unhygienic thing I saw while I was at Al’s of Enola. As I sat there, waiting for this ordeal to end, I watched this staff member hauling dishes in and out of the kitchen. The guy was enormous and was sweating buckets. His shirt was drenched, and his bald head had beads of sweat covering it like the bumps on a basketball. I watched the sweat roll down his face and neck, and I knew that at least some of it was getting on the dishes he was carrying — and ya know what? Some of those dishes he was carrying were«clean» too. If this is what’s available for the public to see, can you imagine what goes on in the kitchen?!? While I was waiting for my hour-long, outrageously overpriced pizza, two young men walked in and told the same girl who«helped» me that they, too, had placed an online order. These boys also got the 1,000 questions and all the rigmarole I just went through and, sure enough, their order was not yet started either. I thought that when my crab pretzel was finally finished that my agony was over. I was looking forward to having some pizza and Al’s of Enola does have a reputation for serving good pie. Sadly, this was not my experience. When I got the pizza home and opened it, there was LITERALLY a pool of grease in the corner of the pizza box. I will post a picture to compliment this review. It was disgusting. My whole crew only ate three pieces of the crap. Even the dog wouldn’t eat the whole piece of crust we gave him. Not kidding. And, to add insult to injury, that pool of grease from the pizza box also left a big ol’ grease stain all over my car seat — a permanent reminder of my miserable experience at Al’s of Enola. Though I don’t think anybody should ever go to Al’s of Enola, they did slip me two coupons for free cheese slices for my trouble. I’ll never go back, but they get away with this scot-free if I don’t use those coupons — so free Al’s of Enola coupons to the first person who requests them.

One of the best Greek chicken salads in Central, PA. I usually write a lot but that’s pretty much what I have to say. They have pizza(which my family likes although I rarely eat pizza), the have wings(which my family likes but I think aren’t crispy enough), they have lots of typical Central, PA sandwiches, subs, salads, and dishes found at an Italian pizza shop. They have a buffet, but it’s filled with pastas and I don’t like pasta. But. .. they have an awesome Greek chicken salad. I actually crave their salad. With lots of extra feta cheese and whatever they use for a dressing. .. yum. P. S. If you’re a beer drinker, there are lots of options and some good specials. Definitely worth a stop of beer and pizza. ANDOFCOURSETHEGREEKCHICKENSALAD. ;)

Al’s is the latest spot for post Harrisburg Area Roller Derby afterparties! Patron beware, these girls drink a lot and eat a lot. Sorry they reserved the pub area; sorry your Sunday evening plans had to change. «Section Closed» with a full crowd means«Private event.» But here’s a hint to all you passive-aggressive(and agressive-agressive) patrons who were jilted: spend $ 10 to watch roller derby next door at the Olympic AND be invited to the party! Great job servers! 150 people show up in 15 minutes and you folks busted your butts to make sure everyone got served. Wait was understandable considering roller derby peeps descend like locusts and leave a swath of misery in their wake.

Al’s Pizza and Subs is a lifelong favorite, and they’ve only gotten better with time. Sure you can come in for the killer all you can eat specials. They’re amazing, with variety beyond the namesake of this establishment. You can also enjoy them as a tap house, bottle shop, and growler filler these days, which I think is really col. They have two sides, one maintaining that old pizza shop feel, and one with a rustic brew pub feeling. But there’s one part of Al’s that will forever hold my heart– day old sub rolls. These are the best rolls in the world, making these the best subs, and to take home day olds is a special treat when you get the chance. :)
