B.Y.O.B. pizzeria that’s so in demand you have to reserve your own dough.

• “GOOD PIZZA NOT GREAT”
• “Definately over rated”
• “The Best Pizza In the Philly area by far! Great service always”
• “Pretty damn good”
• “Best Pizza in Tri-State”

Tips: You’ll need a half-dozen friends, your own booze, a pocketful of cash and a reservation.

Tacconelli’s Pizza

Think of this place as your favorite diner, neighborhood bar, and mom-and-pop Italian restaurant in one.

Reviews:

• “First time at Tony’s”
• “Not the best Pizza, avoid if at all possible, NOT SO GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. PREJIDUCE.”
• “great atmosphere, friendly staff, BEST PIZZA”
• “Used to be better”
• “Over-rated C R A P”

Tips: Order a half carafe of Chianti, Chablis and other basics for less than $10. Beer is the most popular drink here, but Tony’s bartenders use fresh fruit to make their daiquiris.

This slice of heaven comes to those who wait.

Reviews:

• “Don’t bother coming here”
• “BEST PIZZA EVER!! CHICKEN RANCH PIZZA TO DIE FOR!!!”
• “Mexicans CAN’T make good pizza”
• “Best pizza I have had in Philly”
• “Great addition to Washington West”

Gianfranco Pizza Rustica

A casual, old-time South Philly spot for pizza and pasta just like Mama used to do it.

Reviews:

• “NEVER AGAIN”
• “Just awful”
• “once a regular and now its never”
• “reasonable price, reasonable food”
• “Good pizza. Not good service”

Tips: Private rooms are available for parties upstairs, but the metal-legged chairs are not as cozy as the booths downstairs.

Marra’s

Want good, basic pizza that’s cheap and near the office? Get in line.

Reviews:

• “Joe’s Pizza”
• “Average, but where you gonna go in CC?”
• “Best Pizza In America”
• “terrible service, bad pizza”
• “Bad Customer Service”

Tips: The guys manning the oven give priority to orders for delivery, so don’t fear calling up during the rush. The pizza will get to you in a half hour.

Joe’s Pizza

A solid Italian restaurant casual enough for a family dinner yet swanky enough for a late-night date.

• “great outdoor experience…”
• “Like Grandma’s Sunday Table? YOU’VE ABSOLUITELY GOT TO BE KIDDING!”
• “worst server, bad experience”
• “Good Pizza”
• “One of our worst dining experiences”
