This is your regular hole in the wall pizza joint. There’s a back road to the right of it with tons of graffiti if you’re looking for a spot to eat and take pictures. It’s in a sketchy side of town so be careful of your surroundings. Although the Pizza is good this place is very small with some nostalgic vibes to it. Enjoy and be safe

I placed an order through DoorDash for delivery an hour before the restaurant closed (40 minutes before the DD cutoff time). After waiting 30+ minutes for it, I received an email stating my order was cancelled by the restaurant. I got a refund from DoorDash but it was a huge waste of my time…and I’m still hungry :(

<Please read the entire review or you'll likely be confused about my stance. Thank you!><Out of consideration of those afflicted with ADHD & the easily distracted, please ignore the main review and accept in it's place a <tldr> you've wasted too much time already, order yourself a pie now (may I recommend you get fresh garlic as a topping?), food is great, a bit expensive and can be a longer wait than advertised but more than worth it!</tldr>For the rest of you, let me start by mentioning the food is a bit on the expensive side when compared to other pizza places. It was about $24 for a large pizza with one topping. I know you can easily get a couple top pizzas and a 2 liter elsewhere for slightly less than that but don't do that unless you are on a fixed income and in that case, what are you doing ordering out? Cook dinner at home... Every penny counts! But assuming you can swing $25 for a single pie, then read on.... I ordered online using the slice app which you supposedly get a 10% discount for doing. I don't know if it actually is much of a discount as the menu at the place has significantly lower prices listed in it though there is a sign next to the menus stating the menus prices are no longer correct and that the prices have gone up so its quite possible the slice app does indeed reflect the accurate pricing, I have not tried ordering in person or over the phone so I am unable to advise you on this though it's possible it might be cheaper in person. I can however say that based on my experience, the slice app is not the most accurate source of info as it stated that my food would be ready to pickup about 15-20min after I placed it and so I arrived about 22 minutes after I ordered, 2 minutes after the app informed me that the food was cooked and ready for pickup but when I spoke to the guy behind the counter, he informed me it was going to be right out but needed a couple more minutes which as I wasn't in a rush I said no problem and began to wait. I understand things happen, especially around dinner time when restaurant can be slammed with orders but that didn't seem to factor in that day as surprisingly despite it being dinner time, the place was basically dead that day. There was one table dining in and a minute or two before my food was ready, another customer walked in to place an order, that was it, that was everybody I saw the entire time I was there and so far as I could tell there wasn't anything else cooking in the oven or waiting for delivery, perhaps I had just missed it beat the rush? so it's hard to say why the delay and even stranger why the app claimed it was ready when clearly it wasn't but after having to wait another 5-10min past when the app informed me it was done, it finally actually became ready. Now normally given the wait and high prices, this would be the end of my review and I'd advise against the place but... (I know this is long but you have just made it to the surprise twist hooray! ?) not this place, not today! Despite the issues I have mentioned there is something that absolutely trumps all of that... the service? Heck no! It's the food! It was absolutely delicious! The fresh garlic (IMHO, the perfect pizza topping when made correctly and correctly it was made here!) was fresh, fell chopped and plentiful in proportion but not excessive. Had it been priced in the $15-19 range I would have said that the pie was a good size being large enough to easily feed 3 or 4 people. Were it a lesser pizza, I'd have declared $24 highway robbery, especially when you factor in the delays and the price but I'm telling you, that factoring all that in, it is still easily $24 delicious... I mean don't let this declaration of deliciousness give the owner of Pizza Town a swollen head or anything, it's definitely not $25+ delicious but it is just within the upper limit of what I might occasionally spend on a pizza (0k you win, I'd even pay $25! Hope they have fin

I grew up on Tiffany Blvd. My friends and I would come here all the time in the early to mid 80's.. We ate pizza but mostly dumped quarters into the video games they had. We stayed for hours and the brothers never complained. One of my fondest childhood memories. I'm so happy you are still operating in the old neighborhood.

What a great slice of pizza!! I have not had pizza like this in a very long time. To top it off they also sell scoops of Philadelphia water ice and ice cream. I had a kiddie size scoop of ice cream after my slice and it was the perfect way to end my meal. 100% recommend

The other night I ordered, Pizza Town Pizzeria, for dinner. I ordered their Chicken Alfredo Dinner and my guest ordered their Chicken Cheesesteak. Both orders came piping hot! The Chicken Alfredo was fairly decent in flavor and the portion size was terrific. The sauce is really light and also doesn’t really have that Parmesan-Like taste you’d expect from an Alfredo sauce. The chicken seemed like it was flash fried then chopped. The flavor was there, but it was kinda stiff. Still good though. My guest let me try their Chicken Cheesesteak, and I must say it was really good. It had great flavor and was also very filling. The Chicken Cheesesteak greatly impacts my total score. All in all, would love to try this place again. Just couldn’t highly recommend the Chicken Alfredo, but you can’t fail with their Chicken Cheesesteak.

I live locally n have never really had the food here but I was in a hurry n needed something affordable n on the go. When I tell you this man charged me 3.25each for a plain slice of pizza that tasted worse then a frozen pizza. It took 20 mins to warm. He also stated that he would have to charge me n additional dollar if I was using a card.... so since my order my small I ordered mozz sticks to make my order larger. All together my order was 15 n he still charged me the additional dollar for using my card. 16$ for two small plain slices and 4 mozz sticks!! Food does not match the price. The owner is taking advantage of inflation in a neighborhood that struggles to begin with. Shame on him I will not support this establishment.

One of the most horrible places I have visited to eat literary the pizza was looking back at me. My "Conscience telling me why are you lowering your standards to eat pizza " the guy never wear gloves, touch his face and made they pie just to deliver it with his finger prints all over the pie. They say never judge a book by the cover Well I said the same about the Toxic Avenger and the movie as Raw just as this place is Added to never go again places ever.

I used to go here when my husband and I were first together. 4 years ago was the last time due to moving but we tried 2 of our old favorites, tuna melt and Sicilian. I've never be so disgusted and disappointed in my life. This place wasn't just a pizza spot, it was a memory. The tuna was old and disgusting. Lou knows the flavors, don't get this wrong. He's just not paying attention to the inventory or stopped caring. The Sicilian is the worst, I almost cried. I was trying to figure out how it went wrong. The toppings of extra cheese and pepperoni were basic but Lou know how to season it, I tried it separately and it was fine. The middle of the Sicilian was beautifully fluffy and a good seasoned dough. The top layer between the toppings and the middle of the slice was fine but when I tried a piece of the bottom of the pie, I found out where it went wrong. They didn't clean the oven. Imagine a grill or griddle full of old food and you just scrap the pieces off and instead of cleaning it, you keep cooking on it. That pizza tasted like it was cooked on a few months, if not, years of that. I'm very sad to say this is the last time ordering from here. I had to throw everything out. Lou is amazing but the fact that he stopped caring and it reflects on the food guts me. I wish you the very best, please let me know when you change the quality control and sanitary state of the place.

Excellent pizza without the overflow of cheap olive oil in other neighborhood pizzarias. The ingredients are all just right. Dedicated & local run, been serving schools and families for a while. No thrills just 100% take out!
