I worked at Pizza Beat as a busboy “back in the day”. It’s hard to find a restaurant that’s stood the test of time, more than 40 years in this case. Granted the ownership has changed over the years, but Pizza Beat is an excellent value. I decided to pay a visit to reminisce about the past and was quite surprised! The food was excellent, and it was a pleasure having Roberto as our server, real nice guy! I had a cup of minestrone soup, and you can tell it’s not from a can, it’s made with fresh ingredients, not salty. Also had the chicken and eggplant parm entree, just delicious and the portions are generous. The cannoli was great too - the shell was crunchy, filled with ricotta cream - looks like they fill the cannoli shells to order, done the right way so it’s not soggy. Will definitely return to try the other dishes! Highly recommend this restaurant.They have a party room and a bar area. Plenty of free parking.

I stop in with my kids for lunch. We seated quickly, the restaurant wasn’t crowded. I ordered a large cheese pizza pie and a pitcher of soda. The pizza came Hot and ready to eat. It was delicious!!! No complaints from my kids.

Great food, awesome service. I have been eating here since 1989 when I worked across the street at the old Barnes and Noble location and will continue to keep coming back.

We ordered the Zucchini sticks as an app. Extremely watery and flavorless. Our Entree was the Stuffed Shells. They were served well done and just plain dry. We had to send it back. We also ordered the Chicken Parma dinner..It was okay, very thin slices of chicken.. also alittle over cooked. Dessert was just as unexceptional.. The Tirimisu had zero coffee taste, bland and lifeless. Dissatisfied and Dissapointed. The only plus was the staff.

Not from the area, but I came to this place yesterday and ordered takeout. There was a mix up with my card, but the people at the counter were able to help with that situation. Really kind.The employees there are so nice and professional. The food I ordered was good, and just walking inside you get that comfortable nostalgic feeling. Definitely a place to try out, ordering out or sitting in.
Pizza beat has been around for a long time.This gem of a restaurant serves large food portions, service is great and the food itself is remarkable consistently fantastic.I'm bringing a different friend back there on Saturday.I can't get enough
Pizza beat again super fantastic food I can't believe that Central avenue has not found this little gem it has been there forever if you have not gone to Pizza b you do not know what you are missing their fish chowder fantastic they're fra diavolo even better. if I could give them more than five stars I would

I placed an online order for fettuccine alfredo with chicken at Pizza Beat. My boyfriend and I shared the pasta and as he took a bite, he felt something hard in his mouth. When he took it out, it was a dirty fingernail from the pasta bowl. I called the manager of Pizza Beat to get a refund and they said because I placed an online order, I have to dispute the charge with the app I placed the order through. I never felt so disappointed and disgusted with Pizza Beat. The manager did not sound empathetic at all when I explained the fingernail in my food and didn’t apologize to me once. Instead, he tried to offer another bowl of pasta instead of offering any type of refund or issue any apology. Never ordering from here again.

Came in for lunch today. Was told to sit wherever I'd like. Server appeared dismissive and uninterested in being at work. Ordered Fried Zucchini, portion size is half of what it used to be and was almost flavorless. Had a family sized Penne a la Vodka with Chicken, which was pretty good. Server disappeared after bringing our food out to us and was never to be seen again until it was time to pay. This is not the first occasion this has happened to us. We will not be returning. It is such a shame as we dined here at minimum once a week. As someone who works in management in the service industry, service like this is saddening, and frowned upon.Restaurant was nearly empty, there was one other table of 2 dining in
