Lorenzo's Pizza

Ordered 2 pizza slices .. absolutely the best .. crusty, flavorful and simply delicious

Asked a local where the best pork sandwich is and was led to Lorenzo's. It wasn't on the menu but was very good. Loved it more than the cheesesteak we had down the street. A must stop when you're in the Italian Market district!

Oh, it can't be five stars because the meat was not tender. But the funny thing is a lot of locals were eating here and there was a significant line. It's probably close because the sucker is still nine dollars. I remember 10 years ago paying eight dollars for a cheesesteak, so clearly they don't Care about inflation.

Ordered a slice and some hoagies for my kids over Thanksgiving. Best pizza I have had in Philly so far and yes I've had Angelo's. Really good pizza and my kids loved the Italian hoagies.

The first time I ate at Lorenzo's was because there was a crazy long wait at Angelo's a few blocks down. They offered similar food without the crazy wait and since I walked about 40 minutes to the Italian Market area I wasn't leaving without something to eat. Preferably a cheesesteak. I actually ended up getting a regular and a chicken cheesesteak.I must say I've had cheesesteaks at several places in the Philly area. Lorenzo's is the only one I keep coming back to. Not only is their steak delicious with your choice of toppings, of which I tend to keep it simple with just some friend onions. It's all well seasoned and it's crazy affordable. I returned just last week and got a chicken cheesteak with pepperoni, which adds that little extra "umpf" to an already delicious meal but the service is usually quick as well. There's seating indoors but I normally just order at the window and take my food to go. I don't need anything fancy just some good food. And Lorenzo's is it for me!

"Wait, which is the pizzeria everyone loves? Lorenzo's in the Italian Market or Lorenzo & Sons on South Street?""I think it's the one on South.""Oh yeah....Hold on, I'm thinking of Lazaro's on South Street. I'm confused."And so we set out to try them all on a pizza crawl. We shared a cheese slice at each stop in order to pace ourselves. Lorenzo's was our last stop. I don't think I'd ever had their pizza before. After the gargantuan slices oozing with cheese at the other two places, Lorenzo's slice was aesthetically the least impressive. The slice was a reasonable portion--I can't call it small--and was just $2.50. (An XL 18" pie is only $14.)But what it lacked in looks this slice made up for in flavor. We both liked it best of the three. The sauce was the secret weapon. I found something comforting and familiar about it. It wasn't sweet and had more tomato flavor. You could also see the herbs and spices on the slice, which improved the flavor. The crust was a bit thicker than the others but was crispy and good.

Lorenzo's is a small pizza and sandwich counter that feels like it's been here forever. If there's a line it's worth the wait. We got cheesesteaks a pizza for four of us. Being February we at inside in their crowded little dining room. The food was good and not expensive.

My brother and I stopped by to grab some lunch before he headed to the airport. We got the lunch special. I got the cheesesteak and he got the pizza. The cheesesteak was good, but it was a little bland. Not knocking them at all! The bread was awesome. The guy at the counter taking orders was super friendly! It was definitely an affordable place to stop and eat and people watch. It's right next to the Italian market that's pretty popular. They have some tables outside to eat. I would go back!

Great cheesesteak. Worthy of the award! Pizza was solid. Sit outside for the full experience. :)

The spot is quick! Order your cheese steak for nine dollars. I got it with wins cheese and I enjoyed how hot it came out. The bread is probably the best part! The meat was a little on the chewy side unfortunately.
