"After two days in Philly, this was our favorite spot in the City of Brotherly Love. The location was charmingly perfect. Right next to the bustling cute corner of Sansom and 13th Street, the energy here is fantastic. The interior is hip, cozy, and warm. While we had table seating, I'd love to try the bar seating on our next visit. The energy of the kitchen was palpable. Favorite dishes were:1. Olives2. Watermelon Salad3. Meatballs 4. Tufoli5. Cavatelli6. Margarita Pizza"

Giorgio On Pine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (1189) • $$

"Time and time again, this place never disappoints. The service is always incredible, the food is always delicious and the experience is always memorable. I've dined here at least 5x and everything stays consistent.I took my dad here for his birthday and he is still raving about the food and how great Giorgio was. We ordered the mussels and clams as our app and that may have been the best thing I ate that night. The broth was we made with cognac and cream. A bit of sweetness and absolutely addicting. I wanted to soak all the bread in that sauce.We both ordered the specials for our entree. I got the branzino and my dad got the Parmesan crusted pork chop. My branzino was cooked perfectly, was light and packed a lot of flavors. My dad's pork chop was enormous and rich with flavor. For dessert, we shared the tiramisu which never disappoints.This is a great restaurant and one of the best in Philly. It is always a full house, tight and loud so keep that in mind. If that environment is not for you, do take out! Highly recommend this place!"

The Couch Tomato Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (908) • $$

"Wow, an unexpected find in Manayunk Philly. We scratched the surface with our lunch selection while exploring Main Street on a hot day. We sat outside with our dog under their red umbrellas shielding ourselves from the sun's rays. Our server was super attentive.My wife had the Waygu beef burger med-well with sweet potato fries, both were cooked to her perfection. I had their quinoa gain salad and added grilled chicken, was fantastic, the flavor and size really hit the spot. Their house lemonade was delightful on this hot summer day. Will need to come back to check out their extensive beer menu and fabulous-looking pizza options.See my food pics (apologize, as the red umbrellas killed the color)"

High Street Philadelphia

★★★★☆ 4.2 (877) • $$

"Amazing fried chicken sandwiches on what had to be homemade bread. The chicken had a perfect crunchy breading that was similar to schnitzel. We were in love. Their homemade dressing was finger licking yummy. The other item we'd say not to skip is their kale Caesar salad. Honestly, one of the best kale Caesar's I've ever had. Service and ambiance are delightful. It has a cool modern cafe vibe which made it the perfect elevated sandwich spot for us. Would absolutely come back!"

In Riva

★★★★☆ 4.2 (835) • $$

"Everything went well.Don't live far from here and always come when I have a taste for guaranteed goodness. The menu isn't large and that's great because the few things on there are done to perfection. I always experiment with cocktails and entree pairings but the charred octopus is my staple appetizer. Parking in the front is ample and the prices are reflective of the quality. Wait staff is attentive without being overbearing and the vibe is light and airy. Spacious digs with outdoor seating and dog accommodations outside as well. You can't be disappointed with the seasonings and although dessert isn't on the menu the do have a couple things the wait staff can riddle off without a stutter. Love it"

Pietro's Coal Oven Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 3.7 (858)

"Holy Heck great pizza, and great bathrooms too, especially in the winter! We went as a group and the service was spectacular, the pizzas were amazing, and we were in an out in a reasonable amount of time for lunch.The bathrooms must be right next to the pizza ovens as it was so warm and cozy inside. Probably not the best in the summer, but on a cool day, it's worth a trip to warm your cockles."

Pizzeria Stella

★★★★☆ 3.9 (698) • $$

"Highly recommend visiting! Anytime I'm in town, I will try to stop by the restaurant or order pickup! The San Daniele js my go-to but any item from their menu is tasty. Cute spot with a wood fire pizza oven. I went with a big group and service was good. Bathrooms were clean & we didn't wait long for a table (during the week)."

Santucci's Original Square Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.7 (519) • $$

"In efforts to find a replacement for Angelo's, we found Santucci's through handy dandy Yelp! I drove up and assumed we could only order through phone for takeout. So we did. I got the marghertia pizza personal. I went to go inside and grab my food, and saw they were open! We asked if we could sit inside with our meal, but they rudely said no and that we had to order inside to be able to sit inside. Didn't know what difference it would've made considering it was empty. We ended up eating in the car. Onto the food- this is legit my favorite pizza! The crust was the perfect amount of crispness. The sauce was saucy. I prefer a little liquidity than tomato flavored. It was excellent. The proportions for bread, to sauce to cheese was on point. I came home with my leftovers and couldn't quite get the same level of crispy. Downgraded a star because of the rude staff."

Alice Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.3 (347) • $$

"Staff is friendly. Inside is nice but definitely more functional than aesthetic per se. Having a dine in area and a cafe/take out area in the small space they have helps them make the most profit. I don't personally know how their entrees are but their pizza is delicious. Thin but flavorful and artisan. Rione was better to me but Rione is no longer around. Alice is great to still have around. Rize in Broomall and West Chester, while no competition for Alice, is also artisan and tends to be slightly greasier. Maybe I like Rize more because of its grease partially :/ but Alice holds its own.The TooGoodToGo is very hard to get but nice to see a pic of. You get random pieces cold and you are even asked if you have any food needs which they are not obligated to ask you. The drink options have a good variety. Pear was refreshing albeit typically small quantity and the chino was a typical bittersweet orange flavored soft drink. I liked it even though it is an Italian standard that I had never seen or noticed before."

Lazaro's Pizzeria & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (410) • $

"First stop on my Lorenzo's/Lorenzo & Sons/Lazaro's pizza crawl. Slices are inexpensive and HUGE. My husband used to work nearby and remembered liking their pizza a lot. He recalled learning that the secret to their sauce was a bit of grape jelly. I don't know if that is/was true, but their sauce was definitely sweeter than other slices. I don't prefer sweet tomato sauce. But this was a completely acceptable slice. Decent cheese. Thin, crispy crust. I don't know if I'd go out of my way for this--I'd pass multiple decent slices on my way here. But if I lived nearby it would be a reliable place to scratch the itch for a quick slice."

Ariano

★★★★☆ 4 (385) • $$

"Really great pizza and cocktails!! I had the pharmacist which was really refreshing and I would highly recommend. We got a few salads and pizzas and I didn't get the chance to take pics of everything before my family dug in. Our server told us the pizza oven was imported and you could tell everything was really fresh and authentic! I picked the Melazzo pizza and everyone grabbed a slice right when he set it down so I missed my photo op :) but that tells you how good it looked!! I would definitely recommend that pizza!"

The Quick Fixx

★★★★☆ 4.1 (347) • $$

"Stopped here on a Wednesday before a show at the Kimmel center.I ordered the build your own pasta:Penne, tomato sauce, Italian sausage, roasted red pepper. It tasted exactly how I wanted it to taste and was a good portion, but not enough for leftoversNoted that I had a dairy allergy when ordering, and the chef came out to the table to let us know that they normally toss the sauce in butter before adding the other ingredients, but could use oil instead due to the allergy.I appreciate them making the effort to accommodate, and judging this place on what it sets out to be (no frills pasta and sandwiches) it accomplishes that perfectly"

Barra Rossa Ristorante

★★★★☆ 3.5 (454) • $$

"I enjoyed going to this establishment for Happy Hour!Great Menu and they also have Vegan options as well!The service was attentive and the offerings I chose was the calamari and meatballs.The calamari was done well..the meatballs could use some seasoning!What moved this review from 3 stars to 4 stars was the drinks! We'll done with the Jefferson Lemonade drink--Tasty!Overall, good experience!"

Chick's Philly

★★★★☆ 4.2 (294) • $$

"Went here for lunch on Sunday- absolutely amazing experience! The service was amazing and the food was delicious. We had a little bit of everything. We tried the wings, the sandwiches and thr duck wonton and everything was absolutely delicious. The inside is super nice and clean. I definitely recommend!"

Urban Village Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.2 (289) • $$

"Great beer and even better food.The nickel bag of funk (5% ABV) is a nice crisp West Coast pale ale with Citra and Mosaic hops. It brings the funk without overpowering.Oatis is a 7% ABV oatmeal stout that drops chocolate bombs on you. A bit too heavy for 16oz, but I recommend 4 or 8oz pours for sure. You could treat it as a dessert beer to finish.Food standouts:1. Pierogies: made in-house and stuffed with potato & pepperjack cheese served with house kraut, caramelized onions & fennel. A flavor bomb that pairs well with their beers; and2. The Mediterranean beet salad with sweet potato hummus, spinach, arugula, goat cheese, pickled veggies, crispy chick peas and a herb vinaigrette. Fresh, tasty and balanced. Logistics: Reservations via Open Table. Online ordering via Toast."

Emmy Squared Pizza - Queen Village

★★★★☆ 4 (289) • $$

"I heard great things about this place and finally I got the chance to try it. Let's just say the hype is worth it. The pizza came as a square (like the name suggests). We had a mushroom and pepperoni pizza. The pizza was super thick. Definitely, the crust and bottom are to die for with the crispy/doughy goodness."

Rosarios Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4 (265) • $$

"I have been reading about this place on the Philly subreddit, and the Al Pastor pizza totally lived up to the hype. I only had the appetite for 1 small pizza but plan to try their other specialties like the Chicken Mole Burrito and Birria Pizza soon. We ate it at one of the outdoor tables but take out/delivery is probably the best option as seating is limited and the pizzas are served HOT! Service is not the fastest but I don't blame them as they are super popular and busy. So make sure you order ahead of time."

Stogie Joe's Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.5 (343)

"Food was authentic South Philly. Great sandwiches, pizza was old school and salads was huge. Cocktails were healthy. Service was prompt, consistent and friendly. Sat in the area with garage doors, great view, cool vibe watching the street. Owner stopped by and was quite nice."

Luigi’s Pizza Fresca

★★★★☆ 3.8 (287)

"The pizza here is amazing.....I dare say better than some of the pizza I've had in New York. Please don't come for me though...Any goo, the next time I'm one the Philadelphia area, I'll be swinging through here! Only one pic, the good was so good everyone forgot to take pictures."

Square Pie

★★★★★ 4.6 (188)

"Sometimes 5 stars just isn't enough! So is the case for the experience I had this weekend at Square Pie. A quiet Sunday lunch with a bottle of cabernet, two "small" pizzas, and a perfect house salad. I'll get into the food, of course, but more important to me is the fact that I came here and felt immediately initiated into the Square Pie family: literally. Owner/chef Giuliano was tucked away in the kitchen while his dad served my boyfriend and I with the kind of immediate care and welcoming nature you can only find in an Italian joint run by native South Philadelphians. We had made plans to come here as an extra special post-half marathon meal and got so much more than we bargained for at every level.As for the food, the pepperoni pizza is the best pizza I've had in Philadelphia and it's not close. Pardon my french, but I am Philly pizza's number one shit talker. I love Pizzata and I love Paulie Gee's and a few of the other spots that specialize in specific styles, but I overwhelmingly find Philly's pizza scene to be...unfortunate. Cue the Shrek credits because I am now a believer. The cup and char pepperoni holds honey and oily perfection in every bite, with a crust that melts in your mouth. Sauce matches sweetness to acidity and isn't heavy handed. Or maybe it's that everything is a little heavy handed and that's what makes it magical? Who cares. I tried to savor every bite but I am already daydreaming about the next time I can drink wine and eat this pizza.The romaine salad was a recommendation and shouldn't be skipped! Roasted tomatoes bring it all together but the red wine vinaigrette and jelly yolk boiled egg make it pack extra punch. The pizza on special was amazing as well - covered in brussels and fontina and caramelized onions. They post their special pies on Instagram and I think they change weeklyish. Delivery is available on Slice and Uber Eats, something I know I'll be taking advantage of in the near future.That being said, it's hard to replicate the fun of dining in. Square Pie has updated their hours so if it's been a minute, grab a bottle of wine and settle in. Pizza cheers!"

Teca Newtown Square

★★★★☆ 3.6 (301) • $$$

"I've been to Teca in West Chester a million times but this was my first time in Newtown - it is HUGE!!! I appreciated that it was staffed really well. Service was excellent. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the menu is so much smaller than WC! I wish I could give 4.75 because our server got the kitchen to make what my mom usually gets even though it was not on this menu. I just thought it was weird to have a bigger restaurant but smaller menu.My dish was great but my favorite taste of the night was the oil that came with the table breadI am VERY turned off by the manager comments though...what is that"

Pizza Shackamaxon

★★★★☆ 4.2 (213) • $

"One slice of pepperoni and one can of Diet Coke was $8.64. The pizza has a crispy bottom and perfect amount of toppings. The pizza isn't super saucy and not overloaded with cheese. It has a great dough to topping ratio. Very good slice of pizza with no complaints."

Frankie's Fellini Cafe

"Franke is always very accommodating. The menu is very extensive. This is South Philly Italian. Restaurants beats Berwyn on the mainline."

OG Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.3 (200) • $

"We ordered delivery to our airbnb from here and enjoyed it. They were able to cut the pizza into 16ths for our kids which was nice. My friend ordered a chicken wrap which I tried a bite of and it was delicious and it was a nice size. Perfect quick dinner for the family."

Angelino's Restaurant, Fairmount- Philadelphia

★★★★☆ 3.9 (240) • $$

"This is one of best pizza in the neighborhood and is a super popular spot. My first time having the pizza was years ago. I thought it was really good actually. The dough was soft, chewy and has nice sweet taste. The tomato sauce tasted fresh and delicious. Second time here, I had an amazing clam pasta dish with pancetta. Third time here, I had a good really avocado toast that had a nice spicy kick. Most recently, I had pizza taken out. The pizza didn't taste as good as the first time. I'm not sure if it's related to the change in ownership. Anyway, you should give Angelino a try. P.S. Expect a bit of wait here."

Rosalie

★★★★☆ 4.2 (200)

"I love going to a place where the waiter is in love with the menu. Nestor took care of us tonight. It really heightened the experience to have someone going over the menu and making suggestions that they seemed genuinely excited for us to try. Honestly some of the things we would've never chosen for ourselves and they turned out to be the best. It was also my wife's birthday so we were given a glass of champagne for her and ginger ale for me. Such a nice gesture. For instance the prosciutto with the horseradish kind of scared us, but the horse radish was so subtle. It came with something similar to an Asian crispy noodle. There was a crispy pork dish with pineapples that was absolutely delicious. Fritti I think was the dish. Nestor explained to us how it's made and why it's so good. The roasted beets were delicious. The Burrata salad was so good. It was a very different mix of tastes that would make no sense if described separately but spectacular when combined. Like Captain Planet. For my main dish Casoncelli is what was suggested to me. It was fantastic. I also got the crispy potatoes. They were perfectly crispy and good but I don't recommend wasting space on them. The cannoli cheese cake was amazing. We were bursting at the seams after all this food. Portions are perfect. We are already planning to return for brunch."

★★★★☆ 3.9 (218) • $$

"Great food and prices. Service was great. The pizza was pan like and the cheesesteaks were very tasty."

Down North Pizza

★★★★★ 4.5 (161) • $$

"This place has been on my list for some time and I was fortunate to visit at a downtime. Amongst a city full of pizza shops, Down North stands out among the greats.ENVIRONMENTThe restaurant is relatively easy to find and seats no more than 5 or so people in the shop. The wait was a tad excessive which I credited to the food being "made with love".FOOD I love a good piece of focaccia! Another contributor commented that their pizza can be likened to focaccia which I would find to be incredibly accurate. The "Detroit" style was incredibly flavorful accompanied by a heaping of toppings(I settled on the "I'm A Boss"). I will admit the fries left a bit much to be desired but not enough to influence my rating.If you're based anywhere in North Philly between Farimount and Erie Ave, I can confidently say Down North is among the top three picks for the area. Happy eating!"

Pete's Famous Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (279) • $$

"Pete's! I went to the one location nearest to broad street cause I was so hungry after a cocktail party. It looked like your run of the mill kind of pizza shop. Gus, coowner of the shop, was working that day. He recommended the Nutella Sugar Knots cause I was craving dessert. Then I realized I should probably get food food so ended up with the vegetarian quesadilla. Then when I checked in Yelp gave me a free cookie (yes Gus! It is the correct location the cookie comes up for...not the grays ferry one!)The cookie was average. Pretty big and full of chunks. I wish it would have been warmed a bit. The Nutella Sugar Knots are pretty solid! Full of confectionery sugar on top. The knots are very soft....might be better to make it a little crispy on the outside. The vegetable quesadilla was very good. I really liked how it came with a salad and I think it was the perfect amount of greens mixed with cheese. Overall the food is average at a 3 but the experience of watching Gus deems this place a 5. People make a restaurant and seeing his love for the restaurant was exciting!"

"Went back for dinner with 2 other couples. We all enjoyed our choices from one of the best grilled octopus we've had in awhile to various salads. Entrees ran from delicious lamb chops to different pastas.The Eggplant Milanese was both different and delicious with it being cooked to a fantastic crispnessWorth returning to try other entrees including pizzas."
