Messina’s Pizza & Restaurant

11 years ago when we first moved here we went to Messina’s a lot. Their food was pretty good. Then it turned into a thing where you had to pick through the drunk people hanging out a the tables when you first walked in and all the cigarette smoke to just pick up your food. It wasn’t a very nice atmosphere for me to walk into with my young child. Not trying to be judgey but loud drunks tripping you with their legs hanging out into the main aisle and yelling and cursing and blowing smoke into your face isn’t really fun for a toddler; especially one with smoke allergies. Went a few times by myself to pick up food and the staff just got ruder and less professional over time and the food has gone down hill and the fact they are pretty much the only place in town you can get alcohol besides the VFW tells you all you need to know about it being family friendly. Just not our thing.

Made the mistake of trying spaghetti night. I got the meat sausage which looked like dog food. In fact, I ate half and took the rest home to my dog. My wife got same with processed meatballs. Terrible. I have given this place three tries and it gets worse each time. Told them of my dissatisfaction when paying and they just shrugged. Shame, I really want to like the place. No more.

Terrible. Pizza sucked and i paid 6 dollars for a few shitty fries with some cheese sauce. Definitely not going back.

Pizza is tasty (I like sloppy and greasy) but it is burnt more times than not. Daughter couldn’t even finish a piece. Ate the cheese and said she was full. When cooked right it is a minimum of three pieces. Some parental supervision would help since it is usually a bunch of kids working.

I just moved to Stewartstown Pennsylvania less than six months ago I went into Mussina’s to grab lunch with two of my friends. on the TV they were blaring a TV show called KKK beneath the hood it was incredibly offensive I would never go there again ever our food was served on coffee filters, yes I said coffee filters. I did not leave a tip and I am an avid tipper. This kind of hate is something out of the 60’s and they probably didn’t think anything of it because we were three white guys, but racism is a big deal and I will NEVER go there again. Sad thing is this. The food was good.

Just moved to the Stewartstown area and tried Messina’s. Best stromboli and marinara we’ve had in a long time. Other subs and entrees are delicious, too. Great service and friendly staff. Been back a few times and had consistently good experiences. Highly recommend.

Pizza is always dripping with grease, ingredients are old, shop is run by high school kids who obviously don’t care about customer service. Not worth it

It is very very unfortunate that I had a poor experience here. We stopped in for lunch and ordered a couple subs to eat inside. One of the subs we ordered was NO ONIONS after about a 30 min. wait we get the sub and fries full of onions. After about ten mins. trying to catch the only waitress she took the platter and said «they do this all the time. I put no onions». after about 10 – 15 mins here comes the sub. Now I am finished eating my lunch. And whoa were is the fries? Yep she forgot to make the fries. We were already running late so she boxed up the sub. I walked up to the cashier and she added the fries to my bill. Well I was fuming by now. I told the cashier I wasnt going to pay for fries I did not get and the waitress yells that I had to because they already started cooking them. I told the cashier I would not pay for them and should not pay for the sub that was not served in a timly matter. They reluctantly removed that portion of the bill. With several big chain store near by we try to use the smaller mom and pop shops. I havent decided if we will go back but it will be a while if ever.

The beer and wine list is quite impressive for a local family pizza joint, I’ve hear a lot of good things about the Stromboli but it’s just not my thing, the pizza pies and slices here are a little too thick and doughy for me, I didn’t enjoy them either time I’ve dined there. Service was nice and attentive but they could make up for the food.

Pasta dishes are best we’ve had in the area. Reasonable prices, professional service by friendly family and staff. Pizza, subs, stromboli’s all better tha average.

While not gourmet dining by any stretch, not bad at all and a step above many pizza joints. They have an ok selection of house wines and the dishes on the menu didn’t disappoint. Particularly for the area, a pretty good place.

Never have I ever had better Stromboli than at Messina’s. Of course, I could be biased because it’s what I grew up on– but this place is awesome.
If you go for the décor– don’t plan on being too impressed, but for me– it’s all about the food.
