We're SERIOUS about fun food. That means despite our chill atmosphere, all our burgers and bites are hand-crafted from scratch and made-to-order. From our homemade buns to our hand-smashed 100% certified angus beef burgers, our food is meticulously hand-picked by Executive Chef Pryce Morhalo using only the freshest ingredients. We're raising the bar for casual dining. And frankly, we’re in a league of our own. Our Shoobie Shakes shook Philly. They're straight out of dream: a massive milkshake, swirled with whipped cream and fresh chocolate, rimmed with the dust of cookies or graham crackers, and topped with decadent desserts—an entire slice of cake, or a melt-in-your-mouth s’more. But these milkshakes aren’t just for kids. Our shakes deliver an unforgettable experience to cherish with someone special. Dietary restrictions? No problem. We're proud to offer a wide variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, making our dining experience exclusively inc

Pizza is a family affair for me. My Uncle arrived in America in the 1930s with a passion for pizza. He worked hard and eventually bought his own pizzeria in Brooklyn. It was there that Uncle invented a recipe for coal oven pizza. That recipe has been perfected over 60 years and passed down through the generations.Here in Philadelphia you can dine at 2 Pietro's locations: 1714 Walnut Street, and Radnor, Pa. I hope that you enjoy our classic style pizzas and pasta specialties "alla familia" for many years to come. Buon appetito

We had a wonderful experience. We avoided crowds by arriving around 3 o'clock on a Monday afternoon because it can get quite crowdeduring its busy times. We enjoyed the over the top Christmas decorations very much, and it set a festive time for our meal.

They weren't quite ready for our large group of 9 when we arrived but we were accommodated within a short period. The 2nd floor is much more spacious and fun compared to the main floor. The grilled chicken Kook Club was so delicious! Seasoned to perfection. Fresh avocado, lettuce, and a thick slice of tomato. Mmmmm.

Great food, not so great service. It was hard to get the attention of the waitress & my spicy tuna crisps took 34 minutes to be delivered….unclear what happened because no one apologized or said anything.
