All of the toppings are there to create your own or order a specialty such as Philly, Bianco, vegetarian, Pelligrini’s Special (ground beef, mushroom, artichoke hearts, basil) or the Rise & Shine with ham, bacon and sausage topped with an egg. Among the pasta dishes are spaghetti and meatballs, seafood linguine, chicken Marsala, baked ziti and stuffed shells or manicotti with ricotta. There are half-pound hamburgers, chicken wings and fingers, soups (Tomato Florentine, Italian Wedding) and salads, including Caesar, antipasto, Greek, egg chef and steak. Popular subs include Triple D (ham, turkey, bacon), Untouchable (Italian sausage, grilled onions, peppers), roasted turkey, Italian meatball and veal, chicken or eggplant parmigiana. Several desserts are red velvet cake, zeppolis, funnel cake fries, rice pudding and The Campfire: Nutella topped with roasted marshmallows on pizza crust. Lunch specials are offered daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Pizzas start at $6.99. Pellegrini Pizza is open daily from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. — Jack Bulavsky
