Philly Steak & Pizzeria

Following our trip to Pennypack Park for the Dirty German 50-mile ultramarathon, our family's runner was understandably hungry and not keen to wander too far from our downtown hotel. We considered a fancy Italian restaurant that was on the same block, but ended up choosing Philly Steak & Pizzeria because of its higher Yelp rating.We weren't disappointed.Although we had to walk under the archway at Reading Terminal Market at night and wander into a "less touristy" block, there were plenty of folks around that evening. The counter person was perfectly pleasant and efficient. The pizza was hot and absolutely delicious. We ordered a plain pizza for the kids, who loved their slices, and a pepperoni-and-mushroom pie for the adults. WOW! The pepperoni was small and incredibly flavorful, featuring little pools of grease (i.e., "flavor") where they curled during cooking, and the mushrooms were small and fresh. The sauce was more complex than I'd expected, and it featured a great combo of herbs and spices.In all, it was a wonderful surprise. The following day, I carried our leftovers to the car parked in a nearby garage, and my elevator mate remarked that the pizza smelled amazing. "You should've smelled it last night when it was fresh!" I said.

We stopped here on a whim after doing some sight seeing in the city on the way back to the hotel. It's a small store and there were about five young boys inside with backpacks clearly getting a bite to eat after school. The woman at the counter handled everything with grace and was kind and efficient. We shared a pizza slice and a side of curly fries. It was reasonably priced too as it was $13 for the slice, fries and a bottle of soda. Both were delicious and fresh and took about 5-7 minutes to be ready. I would absolutely return.

Out of a whim we stopped at this Philly Steak & Pizzeria. After I saw the ratings. The pizzeria was clean, the staff quietly friendly and our pizza was delicious. My son it ranked third in his favs of the nation. Top one in NY. Crust had the soft chewy almost sour dough awesome taste. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

Was away on a work conference and needed to find food that was near the Marriott. It was 1am, 49 degrees out and I didn't want to walk far. We stumbled across this place that was open till 2am and within a five min walk away. The service was great, very friendly and they were quick. We ordered pizzas, Philly cheese steaks, a burger and fries. It hit the spot after a long day of being out and about.

Great service and amazing cheesesteaks! The pizza is just o-k. Fun staff and quick service. Overall recommend!

It's a better value than the places in The Reading Terminal. Biggest downside is they're confusing about topping being an extra charge & I heard the lady come in after me complain about that as well. I would not have gotten any of the toppings I did if I knew how much extra it'd cost. I believe it's ¢50- $1 per topping, which is a huge shame. There's no where to sit and eat in here & the vibes are hurry up & get out. The cheese steak itself was decent though, but I don't plan on returning.

We had spent all day sightseeing in Philly and I was starving. Knew I wanted to try a cheesesteak and this place was right across the street from my hotel. Normally I don't let distance dictate where I eat, but the reviews looked promising so I thought I'd give it a shot.It's a corner shop in downtown Philadelphia, so the vibe is a little sketch, they see quite the variety of customers. That being said, the place was clean and the staff was super nice & worked efficiently together.Went with a classic cheesesteak with provolone and fried onions. Took about 5 min to make, nice and quick. Took it back to the hotel to eat and wow was I impressed with this sandwich! The bread was a soft, fresh hoagie roll, the meat was tender and flavorful, the cheese was all melty and I got a great cheese pull when separating the two sandwich halves. I would absolutely go back there again to try their other cheesesteaks and pizza. Love that they do pizza by the slice, great stop for a snack or small meal!

Decided to stop here for a late lunch after a minor fiasco that derailed our evening plans. The pizza was pretty solid and tasty.its not gourmet or anything but it will hit the spot if you're after pizza. I saw the other 2 reviews here for their cheese steak sandwich and I agree with them, it's tasty, rather light on the cheese and grilled onions. I ordered the sandwich and the cashier asked what else I wanted on it and I asked what they recommended. Her reply was onions and pepper so I said sure. I would eat it again. I don't have any others from the area to compare against, but it's not bad at all when compared with anything I've had in LA, how it compares here TBD.It's definitely a hole in the wall sort of join, and they don't have seating and you could eat using the standing only window tables/ledge. Service was friendly enough as you would expect for a small place like this.

Searched all over for a cheesesteak since it's my first time in philly. Everyone told me to go to many different places so I decided to venture out on my own to Chinatown and happened upon this place while looking for another place. Noticed there weren't any pictures reviews so thought I'd leave oneI would've liked more cheese but this was flavorful!! It ran me a little over $12 for just the sandwich alone. Inside was clean and the food smelled great. Service was fast but not very friendly. She could've been having a bad day or it could just be a philly thing. Either way, I'm not displeased with the sandwich but probably wrong but one for that price againThey must be known for their pizza because that's what everyone else was buying. But again, the sandwich was good!

10 times better than expected. I ordered the steak and cheese (provolone) and a slice of cheese pizza. Walked back to my hotel and it was still hot when I ate it. Both were delicious!
