E & T Pizza & Restaurant

My wife and I used to go here about three or four years ago. We stopped going mainly because the owner’s or staff’s children were allowed to run around the restaurant. Yes your kids are cute. And this is a restaurant not a play ground. Really, it was bad enough for me to just stop going.
Last night we had an evening when we wanted something to eat but nothing fancy. Well that is exactly what we got. I figured it wasn’t going to go well when I could see the chairs turned up on the tables as I parked in front. It was only 8:30 and the open sign was lit. Okay, pet peeve number one: If you are open I deserve the best you have to offer. I don’t get an «almost closing» discount. A dining room full of tables with chairs on them is, I hope, not the best you can do. It may be convenient for you to mop the floor early but it is not convenient for me. Wet floor, wet tables, wet seat. Either you are open or you are closed.
Then we find there is no diet Guer’s iced tea. The official beverage of Schuylkill county has been replaced with ‘fresh brewed’ tea. (off taste. Water boiled in a pot previously used for coffee?)
We ordered pizza slices and mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks are placed on the table. We have no utensils, no napkin, no plate. Otherwise the mozzarella sticks are OK.
Pizza arrives. Serving size is large. Without a doubt the worst slice of pizza I have ever had in a pizza restaurant. It had an odd sweat taste but no pizza taste. The crust was hard and difficult to bite through. I really like pizza. I would go so far as to say that prior to this I had never met a pizza I didn’t like. How do you ruin pizza?
On the bright side there were no children running around the restaurant. Rita’s is next door. Next time I’ll skip E&T.

I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo — and got fettuccine noodles covered in store bought, jar alfredo sauce. It felt like going out to a restaurant and ordering Mac N Cheese — and getting Kraft Blue Box. Which is delicious — but not when you go to a restaurant and pay 10 bucks for it. Once and done, I’ll never go back.

Even for the area this pizza joint could do a lot better. The pizza had no favor. There was basically no sauce on the pizza and the dough was bland. The wings were okay, fried wings with the favor of your choice poured over them-​I have had better. Look for somewhere to go.
