Pietro's had two locations in Philadelphia. One on 121 South Street and other one was 1714 Walnut Street. We went to the one on Walnut Street. I was with a large party so we ordered pizzas and a salad. I think this place is great for big groups because space is plentiful and they have family style size orders.
For the salad, we got the Mozzarella Fresca. It was mixed greens, fresh mozzarella, sundried tomatoes, roasted peppers, red onions, cucumbers, and house salad dressing. The ingredients were fresh and the dressing was very light. I enjoyed the salad a lot. It was nice and simple starter.

We ordered three artisan pizzas. We got the Brussel pizza vegetarian style, the Napoli, and the Short Rib. I ate the Brussel and Napoli pizzas. The Brussel was a white pizza with gorgonzola and mozzarella cheese, Alfredo sauce, Brussel sprouts, and balsamic reduction. The Brussel sprouts were flaked and very tender. The pizza was savory from the cheese and Alfredo sauce yet sweet from the balsamic reduction. There was an unique balance of flavors. The Napoli had baby spinach, pine nuts, tomato pesto, and mozzarella. I thought this pizza tasted more bland in comparison to the Brussel. It mostly tasted like spinach and cheese on pizza dough. The pizza crusts were good. It was not too thick, crispy, and semi chewy. I did not eat The Short Rib, but it was topped with short rib, caramelized onions, parmesan, and Alfredo truffle sauce. According to my friends, the Short Rib pizza was great. I think everyone's favorite was either the Brussel or the Short Rib. I liked the Brussel the best. Overall, we all had an awesome time. The service was fast and the food was mostly good.
