I hope they serve on paper plates...it makes the food taste better...sucks the grease.

We're looking forward to giving it a try, too. Maybe we'll get there this weekend

We ate there today. It's not bad but not great either. The pizza we had was a little bland and the bottom of it was a bit burnt.

And yes, it's paper plates and plastic knives. Not that is is necessarily a bad thing but it was kind of hard to cut the crust. Too bad, we expected a bit more.

You eat pizza with a knife? LOL

If you like thin-crusted pizza give it a try. I had it a couple of weeks ago and loved it. I do think it's a little pricey for a whole pizza but it is pretty big. I'll go back.

If you're a pizza "folder", this place is for you.

ate their tonight, ain't so grate

just like everything else in Belmont..

it S-U-C-K-S
rubber like with pools of grease..
Dollar Tree pepperoni..and no name brand cheeze..
cost was too high...service was horrendous..

it does not suck
what did you expect in the winn dixie/freds shopping center, the olive garden?

Very mediocre... not much flavor...skimpy on sauce...friendly service.... a little pricey

My wife and I ate there last week and found it to be very good. It is much closer to NY pizza than anything around. If you like Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, Domino's, etc. then you may not like "real" pizza pies. They use only the best and freshest ingredients unlike the chain stores. We found the staff friendly and helpful. Unlike some of the posters here, we came away very happy and have recommended it to our friends and family members. We will most certainly return and wish them much success.

We tried it a couple of times - first pizza, didn't like it....second one ( with chicken and spinach) was good.I like the chain pizzas just fine - eaten for years...but Simonetti's is good if you want something different and don't mind paying a dollar or two more.I want to try some of their sandwiches. We won't eat pizza there exclusively but we will occasionally. I wish them well.

It may be closer to NY pizza... if that's what you're looking for. I agree that Pizza Hut etc. are not "real pizza pies" as you can find them in Italy but NY pizza also isn't real Italian pizza.
Anyway, we prefer either American pizza or Italian pizza. If Simonetti's is real NY pizza he will sure attract some yanks living in Belmont.

I'll try it but my fav pizza place is Portofino's...hands down the best pizza around.

Where is Portofino's?

Portofinos is in Franklin Square over my the Christian Bookstore.

I know it's not Belmont...but it's great pizza.
