Brothers Pizzeria

Brother’s is one of our neighborhood pizzerias. They’re set in an ideal location across the street from HACC Midtown, and they do a booming lunch business.
The portions are generous, and they have affordable prices and specials offered.
I’m not a big fan of their pizza at all. I think it’s undercooked and bland. Their salads are huge, but I don’t care for the chicken they use in them.
Service is friendly, and the dining area is nice.

Found myself in this part of Harrisburg looking for a place to grab a bite and take a break from the drive home from Westmoreland County, Pa. When the preferred Vietnamese joint was closed on Sunday, I looked across the street and saw Brothers Pizzeria open for biz. It wouldn’t have the soup I was hankering for, but what the phở?
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but hunger drives you to places you would not otherwise frequent.
So it was this day. Fortunately, this oasis turned out to be a very pleasant diversion. It was bright and clean, and had a menu to still the savage beast growling within. I ordered their Chicken Cheesesteak Hoagie and sat at a booth to await its completion.
No table service, I returned to the counter to pay, pick up and return to my table. No problem. The guys behind the counter were friendly and humorous.
My sandwich was very good. The standout feature was the fresh roll in which the meal was enclosed. It was clearly different that the standard Italian torpedo, in that it was not creased on top, but was smooth and darker tan. The texture was coarser than expected, and the taste more grainy. It was excellent, and may have been their own creation. It held up strongly despite the weight and moisture within, and it was an easy lift, squeeze and bite, with little loss out the back door. It was a superior cheesesteak.
While it is doubtful I will be back in this part of Harrisburg anytime soon (unless I am looking for phở again), but I would not hesitate to return to Brothers should the VN joint be closed other days of the week.

Overall: great food, great prices but don’t go alone at night.
Pros: the food is delicious! I ordered a veggie wrap that was made super fast and came with the most delicious side of fries (seriously though, order the fries). The menu choices are the largest I’ve ever seen at a pizzeria (13 menus) and the guys are super friendly. There isn’t a bathroom in the place but if you exit out the back end of the store, it places you in a business building where there’s a restroom. Another plus is that it’s fairly close to the midtown bookstore! Great store that sells used and new books for the reader in you.
Cons: it isn’t the best place for a person from the suburbs to go late at night; you feel a bit on edge, but everything was fine for us. Everyone that walked in was in pairs, or dropped off by someone waiting in a car right outside. So this told me that you definitely need someone to walk/​drive with you at night in this part of town. If you want to feel 100% safe, just don’t go when it gets dark.

Food is really good, they’re very friendly and the place is quite and clean. The price is decent and affordable. The only thing is the time you have to wait for your orders, they take too long to have your order ready.

Pretty new to the area and this is my favorite pizza place. Service is always fast, people are friendly and pizza is delicious. I love that each person makes it a little differently… they’ve been making pizza so long they all have little secrets… makes it interesting. I love it!

I was on a bus trip with a friend and we were dropped off at the Broad Street Market, a sad, creepy spot with overpriced ethnic food — all of which looked unappetizing. I used Unilocal to find this spot instead. The guys behind the counter were super friendly, and the pizza slices were really great. I’m usually not a fan of reheated slices, but these, particularly the pepperoni, stood up well. When we got back on the bus, all the other people were complaining about the crap food at the market and we were full of awesome italian eats! Thanks for the great slice, Brother’s!

Definitely the best Pizza in the city! And if you say Alvaro’s is better for pizza, you are wrong-​dead wrong!

Brothers Pizza is a mainstay in the Capitol City area and this Third Street corner venue is a great asset to this eclectic mid-​uptown business district; good fresh food, great service, reasonable prices, free street parking — sandwich shop fare in a ‘stuff to do and see’ zone!

We’ve visited Brothers three times since moving to Harrisburg. This will be a regular quick lunch or dinner spot for us.
PRO: It’s easy to find parking on the street. The place is clean and the service is great. The food is really good and there is a lot of variety. The bread and rolls are fantastic, dense, chewy, flavorful. The big subs are made with good meat and cheese, with fresh chopped romaine (I don’t care for iceberg lettuce). I think the portions are huge. The side salad came out on a dinner plate, and was loaded with romaine, tomatoes, croutons, and cheese. My son enjoys the pizza.
CON: Absolutely cannot recommend the spaghetti. Yuck. The sauce was odd-​smelling tomato water with a lot of grease floating on top, no discernible seasonings/​garlic/​herbs in it. It looked and smelled like dishwater when you’re cleaning a lasagna pan. The gray meatballs had a weird aftertaste. The one time we ordered calamari, it was fried until dark brown and hard.

They have a very extensive menu, so take your time to review. We had the veggie slice, cheese slice, cheeseburger sub, & fries. Prices were reasonable. The pizza was really good. The veggie slice was very tasty with lots of garlic. The cheeseburger sub was awesome and super filling. The fries were ok. It is very clean and the service was good. If your in the area give it a try.

Who says you can’t get good pizza outside of NYC? Exceptional BBQ and Buffalo Chicken slices, Superb hearty subs and even the fries are great! The service is awesome and the staff is welcoming and friendly as well. Parking can be a little difficult but shouldn’t deter you from enjoying an excellent meal and superior service.

Brothers pizza is as good as it gets in Hbg. Huge slices, not to mention very good subs and huge dinner-​sized salads. Nice comfortable place to sit and watch what’s going on out the window. Can get very busy for lunch, but the line move quickly. Not the best pizza ever, but the best you can get around here.

Brothers just opened a new location here. It’s located in the new building across from Midtown HACC. Great Pizza and Sandwiches. No delivery so it will be a local place. We have yet to see it busy. Guiseppe (Joe) is the owner, this is the 20^th or so Brothers Restuarant he’s opened (Per the Paper Clipping and Photo) Joe told me that he likes to work in the new locations so the quality standard is set high. Hope he is here for a while. Ciervo’s is right down the street and they are good, but Brothers is better and it is more comfortable to eat in.

Brand new, only open for a few months now. Everything we’ve had there has been excellent.
