Catty’s Brothers Pizza Serves Up Affordable Local Flavor with Big Taste

Catasauqua local favorite Brothers Pizza shop serves up sandwiches, subs, pizza and more.

On a recent trip we decided to stop by this charming shop and order up some appetizers along with a full pizza to feed our team.

Bruschetta

The bread is fresh and the ingredients are freshly chopped.  The serving is larger than expected.  A very happy (and very filling) appetizer or side dish.

Chicken Wings

In a world of bone-in or boneless wings, I still prefer the bone.  (I know I’m old school). Brothers offers both along with a list of flavors to choose from.

 

Calamari

The calamari was disappointing. Over-fried and flavorless.  Wouldn’t order this one again.

Chicken Tenders with Fries

The chicken was juicier and more tender than expected.  But lacked flavor.

Quesadilla

The quesadilla hit the spot.  Good on cheese, but left our eaters desiring more flavor.

Pizza (by the slice and full pie)

The slices are big and there’s a long list of toppings from healthy to big taste.

According to their website:

“Enjoy the best pizza in Catasauqua like the locals do.

Local residents have made Brothers Pizza one of the most popular in the area.

Sample what they have to offer and see if you agree. Immerse yourself in the culinary scene of Catasauqua with some of the area’s top dishes. These classics are popular for a reason, so go ahead and see what all the fuss is about. See why the locals rave about Plain Cheese Pizza at Brothers Pizza. This local favorite is popular for a reason.”

In general, the food was what you would expected from as strip.  The pizza was good.  The bruschetta was better than expected.  The chicken wings were fairly basic.  The quesadilla had good cheese, but otherwise not memorable.  The chicken tenders were juice, but lacked flavor.

Friendly and speedy service and delivered the results you’s expect from a strip mall pizza place, but not much more.

Located inside a strip mall, 1492 Main St, Catasauqua, PA 18032
