Good food, good prices, good quantity! Second time going here; both times were positive experiences.

It's fine. If you're looking for pizza by the slice, I think that there are better options. I was not terribly impressed by either the NY style pepperoni or the Detroit-style pan. There are two floors and the ground floor was dead when I visited. Upstairs, the energy was much higher. It seemed like a mix of Temple students and local office workers taking advantage of the happy hour deals. And they were decent deals! Service was adequate. Again, it was fine.

I enjoy their food very much but they utilize delivery services that I have tried three time with very bad experiences. This of course is not entirely their fault, but certainly should take some responsibility or concern in the delivery partnerships they utilize especially for the delivery fees making the order at least double in cost. The first attempt, the food delivery time was 30 minutes past the time it said it was almost there. The second time, the driver left it at the wrong address right out front on the street. And the third time, after being 40 minutes late, I called the restaurant and they said they still didn't have a driver when the app was telling me it was moments away. Who knows how long the food was sitting there. When I discussed it with a person from the restaurant they just canceled the order instead of any type of customer service acknowledgment What the heck?!

Stopped in for one of their quizzo nights here and they have some good happy hour specials. Cheesesteak sliders were decent and a good deal. Pizza was as well. Lots of drink specials available with good selection. It does get very crowded and loud here as it's a popular spot, so grab a seat early. Overall pretty good.

I have only really had their salads and bruschetta, and they are dynamite. The services is very fast, but I have never eaten in.

This was my first regular visit to Top Tomato at the corner of 11th and Sansom, right across from the Jefferson medical center. Last time was for a special Yelp event upstairs. I sat at a quad high top in the bar. It wasn't too busy for a midweek lunch - a few peeps at the bar and only a few tables occupied by hospital staff on break. I thought about trying their Jersey Tomato Pie, but ultimately went with the Eggplant Parm Sandwich. Solid choice. It was a big torpedo roll loaded with thin sliced nightshade, that appeared to be pan fried before filling the bread handle, ladled with good red sauce and covered with melted mozzarella. It was very enjoyable. In fact, the roll was exceptional. Crunchy and pleasantly chewy. It reminded me of a similarly rolled sandwich I had previously eaten, but I couldn't place where. I asked my superlative bartender/server, Tabitha about its source, so she went back to the kitchen to inquire. It was from Ba Le Bakery, the Vietnamese ovens on Washington Avenue in South Philly. Of course! I have had several Banh Mi sammies there and nearby pho joints. They were always memorable. French style with thinner crust than Italian, but still crisp shell and airy middles. Worked just great as the edible container for the eggplant, sauce and cheese. Score a big 5 Stars for Top Tomato, who took the chance to change up the expected bakery choices with an even better cultural diversion. Very cool!

I'm not a huge fan of pizza, I know, SHOCKING, and I'm usually a bit more picky/less likely to try different kinds. However, this place made me a believer. I had the margherita pizza and one with just a square shaped pizza topped with tomatoes and both were fantastic. Every cocktail I tried was also yummy. I was here with a group but it's great for friends night out, a casual date, or even large groups with family. I loved the staff as well, they were all super helpful.
A classic dive bar with great comfort food and drink deals! The staff are kind and service is quick - great pizza in particular! Recommend for a casual night with friends, watching sports, or relaxing in a comfortable environment. Definitely a younger crowd but still a lot of space to avoid crowds.

Walked in after finally finding a place on New Year's Day that was open. Was greeted by the owner it seemed to be and was seated right away. There's a bar upstairs if you'd like to sit and drink with others. The sandwich was our top 10 sandwich ever. Something about how they fry their chicken makes it delicious. The pizza was on the sweeter sauce side but very good with a crisp to it. Zucchini was flaky and with dippings on the side made it great. Best food of the day that we've had in Philly

I visited this place on eve of May-20th, and i was ushered to the bar on the first floor. I was served beer in a plastic based single use disposable tumbler while two senior citizen, who happened to be acquaintance of the bar tender were served in a glass. It's not the fact they were outta glasses bc of the ongoing party upstairs. This was discriminatory behavior and i failed to understand why this was the case. Also we already have this climate crisis and pollution problem then why single use plastic has become choice? Given every alcoholic beverage being acidic in nature, how it can be served in a plastic container?? Then there were flies.. ambassadors of everything that's garbage, were wandering over the food and instead of reading my book, i had to focus on keeping the flies off from the food. The staff couldn't care less. The bar tender was busy chatting anways. So if you're an ignorant who doesn't give care about environment and seek discriminatory treatment bc you have low self esteem and love unhygienic food. This is your go to place.
