cenci’s pizzeria & bar

food and drink. i have been to this bar several times, and both the service, food, and beer selection are very tasty and reasonably priced. thestaffare helpful and polite. definitely worth a stop and try ! also specials on everything almost every day of the week.

reasonably priced gem in an otherwise overhyped/overpriced area of allegheny county. i have been going to censi's regularly for about a year now and have never been let down. their service is fantastic, even when the place is busy. the owner is approachable and usually on the floor overseeing various aspects of the restaurant. you can tell thestaffgenuinely care about their business. the waitresses have always been aware of the specials and can often recommend a great seasonal beer! their beer list is quite extensive and changes regularly. i love that they have a complete bottle and draft list available upon request. the beers are reasonably priced and they have various specials throughout the week. the food has always been great. i've tried many of the appetizers, my staples being the fried zucchini and puffs. the fried zucchini is always crisp and never to greasy. i believe their pizza to be excellent. the crust is thin but soft with a tangy, almost sweet sauce. the flavor is not overpowered by the cheese and every extra ingredient stands out on its own. i also enjoy the wings. they are cooked well, crispy, yet juicy. i prefer the hot. they have all the standard flavors but dare i say, could use some more, or maybe even a signature censi's flavor! if you’re on a budget, cenci's is on groupon and offers daily food specials. i personally take advantage of tuesdays pizza special, along with wednesdays wing special. the atmosphere is relaxed, the musics at a reasonable volume and there are plenty of tv to allow one to keep up with the sports of the day. i look forward to the renovations being completed and a return of the tap system. hopefully even more craft beers will be offered! keep up the good work! 8/10.
(side note: i wish their bar trivia actually started at the advertised time of 8 instead of anywhere between 8:30-9pm. makes it hard to plan for the evening when one works in the morning....not the fault of censi's....just sayin)

family owned and wonderful food. i love cenci's! my family and i have been ordering from here since it was a small pizza shop that only offered pick up and delivery. this family owned business makes you feel right at home.staffis very friendly and of course the food is delicious! my husband loves the steak onion ranch pizza and my kids love the sicilian pizza. really can't go wrong with anything you order. prices are very reasonable and they offer daily specials every day of the week. they are currently expanding so they must be doing something right! my family wishes you all the best!

not so great!. overpriced beers, $10 for a delerium. glasses smelled bad like dirty water, food selection is not healthy at all and very greasy and also overpriced for sub par quality..staffwas nice. all in all not a great choice. try dive bar and grill right down the street. way better and way cleaner.

best alfredo sauce ever!!. i never write reviews for any restaurant however it is necessary to spread the word on cenci's alfredo sauce.
the hubby and i eat out often, everywhere in pittsburgh and surrounding however we live in the north hills.the pasta with alfredo & shrimp is the absolute best in western pa. i guarantee that if you enjoy a wonderful home made alfredo sauce, cenci's is the place to go :) also had the ceasar salad which was very good and previously had the antipastata salad which was quite good as well. the atmosphere is fun, energetic, and relaxing. thestaffis friendly and polite. it's great to have a local restaurant / bar with good food! i'm hoping that the owner will someday consider jarring his alfredo sauce for all to enjoy. thanks cenci's!!

awesome experience. i had the opportunity to visit cenci's and i have to tell you it was rewarding...the food was fresh and tasted great. i have gone here a few times now and they have made me a few home-made dishes that are out of this world..it was extremely flavorful and kept me wanting more.

i also have had a few of their pizzas delivered and have taken my my grand-kids up to eat. the atmosphere is great early evenings for families, and when you want to have a great later evening it is a fun ad safe atmosphere. it's a very ecclectic crowd of ages 20's-60's.

i think i also need to state the pizzas were great. my wife is more the chicken and vegetable lover and has mentioned numerious times on the freshness and flavor of the food.

thestaffis always curteous and the bartenders are great. the owner, bob cenci is the perfect host ,making certain he makes rounds to introduce himself and ask if everything is alright. i have to also mention i made a few business contacts that have had some rewarding returns..

.i never really write on these type of blogs but we recently have had some really wonderful times and i wanted to share my experiences and give a thumbs up to anyone looking for a place to eat healthy, eat good and have a good experience. i always felt it starts at the top down. the owner, with making you feel warm and welcome, the service with taking care of the family( especially little ones) and the fun at the bar with the bartender and people...and the drinks are pretty good too. plus to meet professional business people and make some opportunities happen.

.all i can say is ***** good job***** thank you cenci's..

cenci's atmosphere is warm and inviting, thestaffis friendly, and the food is delicious! we're looking forward to going back again soon!

pleasant experience. was in cenci's this past weekend on saturday. after not having been in there for a while, i was very impressed with the improvement of both the service and the food. ate dinner in the dining room with family and ended up hanging out at the bar afterwards with a friend. waitress always had a smile on her face and was very attentive, never felt like an annoyance. food came out fast and tasted really fresh. the menu has alot to choose from. very rare everyone in my family finds something they like at a restaurant. portion sizes were great leaving us with leftovers for lunch the next day. bar has a ton to choose from and was surprised to see the amount of seasonal beers in stock.staffwas just as pleasant at the bar. all in all, i had a great experience at cenci's and won't let as much time pass between visits again.
oh, and did i mention that i've never been to a restaurant where both the bartenders and waitresses are all exceptionally good looking? just an added bonus- that's one lucky manager

bad service. i have been to cenci's a few times but that past two times i have been there have been the worst. the food is always very well cooked but the service is bad. my server, nickey, messed up my beer orders on numerous occasions and brought me the wrong dressing for my salad. i have felt like an inconvenience when i sit in her section. i would suggest making all of thestafflook presentable, because compared to somestaffmembers, some don't look as nice. all in all, i love the food but the service has been bad.

love the food! the wedding soup is the best around! the pizza is always my fav! the barstaffis great i have seen some new waitstaffbut they seem to be keeping up and doing a great job. tuesday trivia is always a blast!

not so good tonight. we've gotten take out pizza's from cenci's, probably 4 or 5 times in the past 6 months. we've also had drinks there on a number of occassions. generally pretty good and the barstaffis awesome. as to the dining room, i'm not sure if they've changed cooks or waitstaff but tonight was very disappointing. dining area was a bit on the dirty side. waitress was very nice but perhaps inexperienced? forgot to bring the salad and didn't warn us that the calamari is different from what is pictured in the menu. and i agree with another writer who thought the pasta sauce was tomato paste straight from the can. i'll probably continue with the take-out pizza but skip dining in the restaurant in the future.

great wexford restaurant. i just love this place. the owners are very friendly and can be seen working throughout the restaurant to assist theirstaffand also socializing with their patrons.
the regular and speciality pizza's are delicious. the salas and wings are yummy!!
