Jim “The Cheesesteak Guy” Pappas
There may be a very good Italian restaurant hidden inside this pizzeria. I got the special cheesesteak, peppers, onions & mushrooms. I liked the flavor of the meat in my cheesesteak, the slice of sausage pizza I ate while waiting for my cheesesteak and the bar with a sign that read ‘$3 Yuengling drafts.’ I’m sorry I got peppers on my cheesesteak. Even at $13.90 the cheesesteak was a touch small. The roll was a mess. The cheesesteak was a miss but I think there may be a very good Italian restaurant hidden inside Cafe Valentina. The Owner’s appear to be real Italian’s, my cheesesteak meat had great flavor, great sausage on my slice, prices are good, a steady flow of regulars getting ‘to go’ orders and they have a bar.

Used to go often years and years ago. Went back recently and the garlic rolls were as good as I remembered! Top that off with really good pizza, reasonable prices, and strong service and this local family-owned place gets top reviews from me!

Traveling from out of state to find a great pizza shop, I came across Cafe Valentina off a suggestion from family in the area. I loved it!

This used to be our place before pandemic. Small, cozy dining room..however there were a couple loud people in small bar area whose voices carried. Wedding soup was inedible, very, very salty. Garlic bread had a ton too much garlic. Chicken Primavera was also very, very garlicky…..couldn’t eat it. Also did not have enough vegetables, too much pasta and garlicky sauce. Service was friendly. Will not be returning.

Absolutely worst. Too expensive and not worth the price at all. Garlic bread was cold and pasta had a stinky smell. Would never try again.

The food and service here was amazing. The Gluten-free shells were delicious. I was so impressed. Looking forward to going back to try the GF pizza

Was told I HAD to be there within 20 mins of the order and my food was unseasoned garlic and oil and pasta sauce spilled all over the bag made a huge mess and who puts the pasta at the bottom and all the other food on top when the pasta was in a fragile container overall for a first impression it was the worst and I won’t return. ✌️
