Circles + Squares

This place sells food. Pizza, steaks, fries. I had the circle, plus had to try a square. Plain pie and a chicky parm, respectively.Caught wind on the 'gram a bunch o years ago, lookin for stuff to do with me ma in Philly when i visit from WA. She's kinda a pain in the ass though so it took till now to finally get an order in. Really outstanding, will be back. Can tell the recipes are crafted with care, it's a level up on what you expect.

I've only ever had the Squares here, which are delicious. I will say that I think that they're much better on days 2 & 3, assuming that you reheat them in the oven. Day 1, the pizza is a little on the oily side and the bottom isn't very crisp. Minor complaints, but nonetheless. By the second day, all of the excess oil has soaked off into the box (I recommend that you refrigerate in the box... not that I've ever met anyone who actually takes pizza out of the box and puts it into Tupperware. Feels a bit American psycho) and the oven crisps up the bottom perfectly.I've also gotten the Caesar salad, so I can pretend like it's a healthy meal. The dressing is aces.

It's such a gem. Very expensive though and I've always hated the ordering experience. Not my go too.

We use the One Bite app to find places with a score of 8 or higher and I'm so glad we picked this spot today. Placed an order online right at 4:00 and it was ready in 20 mins. My husband and I slammed down slices of a round and square right in the car. The owner (assume he was the owner) was running an order out to another customer and saw us and so politely tried to give us plates and napkins but we were already done! Thank you Both pizzas were so damn good. So much flavor, so fresh. I think I slightly liked the square more just because the sauce was a little garlicky .. and the crust omg. Wish we lived closer, we'd be ordering from here weekly.

Circles and Squares is my close second most favorite pizza in Philadelphia. They do circles and squares (Detroit style) well. I just don't like their red sauce base as much as Pizza Shackamaxon so that one takes the crown for me. Added bonus is their white pizza is amazingly creamy and garlicky. They have expanded to add other menu items. The buffalo wings are good! To be honest, I don't usually like Buffalo flavor. I think it's because it's usually Franks hot sauce which I think is kind of basic (don't flame me) and overly salty, but Circles and Squares uses Crystal hot sauce which is superior and more interesting. I think they must have a high butter mix ratio because I also think it's less salty which I appreciate.You either pay online (you can scan a code at the walkup) or pay in cash. If you order online, you get a thoughtful courtesy text when the food hits the oven so you can time it perfectly!Thanks CS for being walking distance to me, but not too close so that I don't clog my arteries.

Finally got to try them. COVID was really hard for ordering here but it seems back to normal. Takeout only it seems they don't have dining space. Order by phone or I believe they use a delivery service. Takes 20-35mins for pizza. I had their round pizza with pepperoni and sausage. Overall this is a very good American style pizza. Up there with Angelo's as best in city for this style of pizza. I enjoyed the pepperoni more than their sausage. Would come again!

How it took me until this past Saturday to try Circles + Squares is beyond me, but I suppose it speaks to what a deep range of high-end pizza places Fishtown and its surrounding neighborhoods (Port Richmond & Kensington) can lay claim to these days that a place this good could have slid under my radar for so long. Thankfully, that's now a thing of the past and I can start making up for lost time. I've had three of their menu items - their fries, a cheesesteak with fried onions and pickled hot peppers, and their Cheese pizza in square-pie form. The fries were my kind of fries - flavorfully battered and crisp on the outside but ample and billowy within. The cheesesteak was served with Cooper sharp and on a quality seeded bun; it would have been excellent if I'd had it witout, but adding the fried onions and, particularly, the pickled peppers, was a good call, too. The heat level was perfect for it - not overbearing, but consistently present, contributing perfectly to the overall taste. But the pie was made the place exceptional and earned it that fifth star. The square pizza is basically everything you're nostalgic about from pizza hut pan pizzas, at least assuming you're of a certain age and participated in their book club to earn free pan personal pan pizzas al through childhood, but all grown up into an adult-pallet-friendly incarnation. The sauce stood out as a highlight, as did the perfectly crisped outer edges that lined the soft, raised center. It was easily one of the best pan/deep dish pizzas I've ever had, easily on par with the best I've had in Chicago (though I know this is more Detroit style, a city I have not as yet been to).As of this writing, C + S is a small, minimal operation - hours of operation are limited, the menu isn't huge by any means (though there's still a good few things I want to try), and they don't have drinks, so they send you to the corner store down the street. The employee who I assume was also one of the owners seemed to be reconsidering the drink situation the day I was there, as every person who came up to order or pick up while we waited for our stuff to come out asked about drinks.

Came here with 4 friends after hearing great things and we were not disappointed! We were pretty hungry so we ordered 5 pizzas, but ended up having about 4 slices leftover. We liked the cheese and buffalo chicken the best, but I don't think the buffalo chicken is offered all the time. The focaccia base for the square pie was nice and chewy. The sauce in the cheese pizza was fresh. Thought the white pie was a bit bland. They do accept card. Also they don't have a phone number to call, and I needed to reach them because we were arriving late to the restaurant and wanted to delay our order. I DM'ed them on Instagram and they responded in minutes and said they'd happily delay our order, so I could not speak more highly of their service. There are a few clean tables outside to eat at and it's in a pleasant neighborhood. Will be recommending this to friends.

Excellent pizza, would come again. Unfortunately they don't have just slices. Circle pizza with mushrooms + white square pizza with mushrooms.

This place deserves all the hype. It has never missed and the people working are so nice! Pizza is amazing and so are the wings. Will definitely continue to order
