This is the best pizza we have had in Philly!! We just came back from Naples a few months ago and this pizza tastes like the pizza we had there. We have not found any other pizza place that compares besides this place. The crust is chewy, the ingredients are fresh, and it is not too salty or heavy. You can see the chefs making the pizza from scratch, putting it in the oven, and then serving it to you within minutes of it coming out of the oven. We will definitely be back to try some more pizza!

I'm very skeptical of hotel-adjacent restaurants but this spot really should not be put in that category. It's new and maybe has some growing pains but really is worth the try.Have to start with the service. Alexander was so pleasant and answered every question I had with a thoughtful and educated answer-for example: what is DOP tomato (plz ask). You can tell that the staff enjoy what they do and believe in the spirit of the restaurant.Turning to the food, this was good-not great but eventually will be great. We weren't super inspired by the list of appetizers and ultimately went with the bomba calabrese (tuna-stuffed Calabrese cherry bomb peppers). This was a nice bite...it was worth trying. We were really torn about the pizzas as there is a good amount of options but not a ton of variety. Ultimately, we went with the bronte, our favorite of the night (pesto, mozzarella, mortadella, buratta, pistachios-what can go wrong?), and the night special of a fennel and lamb sausage combination. I'm not so used to having so much crust and so little base layer to substantiate the ingredients, but I realize this may be what makes a Neapolitan pizza? It just made it feel like the crust and breading was a skosh dry, so we ended up dipping into a side of olive oil.In terms of growth, I think the layout of the restaurant needs reworking. The center bar is gorgeous, as are the window seats. The remaining tables seem a bit like an afterthought and need to be arranged differently because the space isn't being used as effectively as it can be. And I know this is nit-picky, but the dishware didn't seem to match the theme and could be improved upon. Overall, I think this place has a ton of potential.

This is the casual restaurant from the chef/owners of the fine dining restaurant in the same hotel. Once it's fully open, it'll be a nice new addition to N Broad Street. The dining room is simple, but very light and airy. It also had some really fun art, which definitely gave off a vibe. I had a pizza that I think is called the "Stella," which has a ricotta-stuffed crust. It was delicious. I'll plan to come back a couple of months after their firm opening, so that I can get the "everything has been worked out" experience.

Came for a pop up after hearing about this place on social media and the food did not disappoint! It's a cute spot in the Divine Lorraine with lots of natural light, good for a summer date night. Service was a bit slow, but I'm sure it'll get better later, as they're currently brand new. But the wait was absolutely worth it for the food. All of the ingredients were at peak freshness, and every bite was crafted with care. We ordered the arugula salad just for some fiber, in anticipation of scarfing down two carby pizzas, but the peppery arugula, crunchy walnuts, summer-ripe strawberries, and gorgonzola blended together in a wonderful medley, not too sweet or too bitter or spicy, just all fresh goodness. And the pizza! I'm not a huge fan of how soggy Neapolitan pizzas get in the middle, but I didn't mind it in this case because of the quality of the ingredients and the tastiness and chew of the crust. Again, all of the ingredients from the cheese to the tomatoes and endives and anchovies were noticeably fresh and delicious all on their own. We ordered the Sophia Loren and La Stella, and both were excellent, but La Stella (ricotta-stuffed pizza with 'nduja) is a must-have. The 'nduja is unflinchingly spicy, yet mellowed out by the cool and fluffy ricotta-stuffed crust. I've never had a pizza like that before and it should be a much bigger thing! For me, it was a standout pie in a city that's full of pizza. Do yourself a favor and keep an eye out for their opening, because you will want to try their food as soon as possible.

Sat at the pizza bar with some friends. Had the daily special pizza with fresh asparagus and ricotta, and it was delicious. Service was friendly and solicitous but not overbearing. The gelato was some of the best I have had. Would definitely return

2.5 stars I am genuinely so puzzled by why I didn't like this. It was just OK, nothing memorable -- but I had such high hopes from other reviews raving about the authenticity. Maybe the margherita was a wrong choice. Nice ambience though.

We had the most amazing dinner here! First, I got to the restaurant a bit early and had a glass of wine. The som, Mike, was so knowledgable and let me taste several wines before selecting one--effectively my own private wine tasting.The fried pizza was so unique and *so good*! The service was incredible--really attentive. We waited an extra five or ten minutes for our table so they comped us desert--three scoops of delicious gelato--and were so kind. Overall, the location is ideal, the food amazing, the vibe immaculate, and I cannot recommend dining here enough.

Excellent experience overall. The pizza is the closest to genuine Neapolitan in the city. We'll definitely be back!

Truly fantastic pizza. Maybe the best in the city. Bartender was nice, and everybody seemed to have fun. working. Service was incredibly quick, i can't believe how fast the pizza cooked. The vibes were super cool, you really feel like you're in italy sipping on a Spritz and eating olives while you listen to some italo-disco.

The 5:00 PM reservation started off as we were seated and a man in a white chef coat was shouting at the staff about a back pack being left out, no music being turned on and was snapping his fingers at and addressing the staff in a loud unpleasant manner. The waitstaff was nice, but the pacing was awkward. We asked for 2 glasses of their House Wine. If they didn't have it, it should have been disclosed before up selling us to the $19 and $18 per glass wines. The pizza came out before we could get a sip of our wine. Then the most bizarre thing happened: a male waitstaff member came to our table while we were eating and there were two slices on each pan and he took them away without asking. He brought them back in a box. This was not our first visit to the Divine Lorain, the outdoor Pop Ups, or Sorellina that we enjoyed immensely. But it will be the last time.
