John’s Place

Grilled chicken wraps are my weakness. I selfishly find myself rating local delivery joints based on their selection of chicken wraps/​sandwiches, because they’re my signature Krissy-​dish.
John’s Place is my favorite delivery place in the entire neighborhood. It’s a pleasant experience from the beginning phone call. The owner is extremely nice, and she’s always willing to adjust my order to my sometimes strange requests, and never judges me for asking for an extra side of honey mustard sauce!
Their chicken wraps are SO good. The tortilla is light, so it doesn’t add unnecessary thickness (or carbs) to the wrap, taking away from the goodness of the ingredients packed inside. I usually order the chicken and broccoli wrap, which also has bits of feta mixed in. Or, the honey mustard chicken wrap — stuffed with huge chunks of chicken, honey mustard, smoked bacon, and Swiss. YES, PLEASE! Their chicken is not gristly or greasy, but fresh and plentiful. My peeve is ground up, gristly, and over-​salted chicken. Woof.
My friends usually order the pizza or strombolis, which have always been very flavorful in both toppings and crust. They also offer sweet potato fries, which are still somewhat rare for delivery places. But yes, they are delightful. And yes, you should order them with honey mustard sauce.
I selfishly wish they were open on Sundays, especially after writing this review and craving their glorious wraps. Too bad it’s Sunday.

Super good food, Friendly people! Highly recommend!

place is solid. i’ve had them deliver a bunch of times, everything’s always good, and i really don’t have any complaints. gets the job done as a good bar food takeout spot.
pizza’s solid, apps are solid. breakfast sandwiches are dope too. think they killed a whole clan of miss piggies to stuff this much bacon onto one bagel… but i’m definitely not complaining .
cool option ordering right from Unilocal… the hookup is real

I used to love this place. Ordered off of grub hub a ton of times. I just ordered a sausage pizza and they delivere a Pepperoni one instead. Not a big deal. I called and the girl on the phone said they would deliver a sausage one right away. Which they did. But when I went down to get my SECOND order. They asked for the pepperoni pizza back. It was very odd. So I had to grab my order. Go back up to my apartment. And bring back down the wrong order. I’ve never had this happen to me before. And I felt bad for the delivery guy Bc he stood there all awkward like «I need the other pizza back». Never will order from this place again.

Stopped in to get a slice in between work and night class. Ordered the Buffalo Chicken slice– pretty flavorful, yummy crust. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot.
But what really impressed me about this place was the customer service. The woman behind the counter was so nice! The slice totaled $ 3.50, and I only had $ 3 in cash or a card. She took the cash was fine and forgave the difference. She was also just generally really nice in offering different condiments for the pizza.
It was refreshing to encounter such considerate service. I’ll definitely be back for more pizza– and with extra cash, to top!

Amazing food, great staff! If I could give more than 5 stars, this place would get it! Very warm and inviting place with lots of seating. Definitely recommend and definitely coming back!

Simply amazing food and we went there for our anniversary and they treated us like we were gold. If you do not want to go to this restaurant to eat then you obviously are missing out on something. The service was exceptional the staff was very accommodating and everyone was so nice. Thank you very much and we will see you again soon. Frank and Bernice

If there was a zero star option this place would deserve it. Ordered a big delivery order and wow what a mistake. Didn’t expect it to be great or even good, but Microwaved was a surprise. The chicken parm tasted exactly like the frozen dinner you get in the supermarket. The spaghetti was noodles with some cheap jar sauce thrown on top. I really don’t see how this place has any good reviews. Are ppl so used to shitty food that places like this actually get a pass? I can’t see how. STAY AWAY at all cost. Food is literally garbage since we basically threw everything away.

This food is not edible, just through $ 50 a way just got a delivery everything was cold The Veal I Believe is microwave frozen dinner, I don’t know where people would think this is a good place to eat at or have delivered everything was cold and not even worth eating spaghetti I believe they just poured a can of tomato sauce on overcooked noodles, very disappointing

I’m originally from the pacific coast of Ecuador, so it’s safe to say I love seafood. Stay with me here. This is the best cheesesteak I’ve ever had. When my parents moved to Philadelphia some 15 years ago, American culture baffled me quite honestly. Traditions and foods that were all over the place. One of the things I never understood was the craze around cheesesteaks, but now I get it. Just add some ketchup, thanks.

Great breakfast! Service is always friendly and attentive. I recently ordered Chicken Parmesan dinner, salad, and garlic bread for 15 people. Delivery was prompt, meal was delicious! Their home made salad dressings are excellent! This is a family run business, serving delicious food, providing fast, friendly service… all great for very reasonable prices. I frequently have their pizza and cheese steaks delivered… also well prepared, delicious. So glad John’s Place is in my neighborhood.

John’s Place has the best service in the city. I usually get take-​out from here, but occasionally my friends and I come together for a cheap meal and byo. The dining area in the evenings is empty so its great for a big group to get together. We pretty much take over the place, and yet we are made to feel so welcome and attended to, with all of our needs met immediately.
I usually get the pizza; all of the ones I’ve had have been consistently stellar. I’ve also had the gyro, the Reuben, and cheesesteak, all of which have been good with nice-​sized portions, and the hoagies are unreal – so huge!

I LOVE John’s Place.
That’s probably a bit of an outlandish statement to make about a business before ever actually having visited it, but oh well. Oh. Well.
I have ordered their delivery far too many times lately. Yeeees, there are other great places in the area for delivery, but I’m hooked on a couple things in particular at John’s:
1) New York Pizza. The honey mustard base with the grilled chicken and bacon just makes for one excellent pie. Goodness.
2) Fried Mac and Cheese. They’re like mozzarella sticks, but… with mac and cheese inside. They are lovely. You’ll get six of ‘em.
I also like their traditional pizza, Italian hoagie, cheesesteak and chicken salad. Their chicken salad isn’t one of my top chicken salads, but it’ll do in a chicken salad crunch, so that makes them good in my books.
So, yes, try John’s Place. They’re open early. They deliver fast. They won’t kill your wallet. They’re just great. I love them so much.

Pretty solid food, and definitely a lot of food for how much you’re paying. I ordered a small pizza that definitely could have fed me and the two kids I was babysitting, and the cheese was abundant enough for 2 young, cheese-​crazed children!
I also ordered the chicken wings (instead of the buffalo wings), and I received 4 fried chicken wings, very greasy, with thick breading and oil oozing out of the dish. The hot chocolates were made out of mix, and was very watery in the first 40 sips and then ended the drink with a glop of chocolate mix.
Finally, the service was a little off; the woman at the front desk where you give your takeout order is extremely friendly, but my waitress was slow, a bit rude when she didn’t hear what I said the first time, and forgot to give us straws/​waters/​napkins.

I cannot attest to their table service, as I’ve only gotten delivery. However, every experience has been wonderful!
The driver always arrives before the low end of the estimated delivery time. The driver is always very courteous, even when clearly they’ve come a long way in cold weather. The food has been consistently excellent (and as hot as if it just came out of the oven). They have the second best pizza I’ve had in Philly (the top goes to NYPD, but I’m a New York transplant so nobody else had a shot). They have an excellent cheesesteak, not up to a Jim’s, but close and they deliver. The bread is fresh, the meat is good (though the chicken was a little bland — I added a little hot sauce and it was perfect), the cheese is ample. If you’re ordering delivery, you can ask for Grilled Onions (or Fried Onions, as I guess they call them here) since it’s not an option on any of the automated websites. They did it for me, no questions asked.
The best thing so far is that my vegetarian girlfriend actually loved her veggie burger! Too many places use a mushy, flavorless patty that expands as you eat it, making you have mouthfuls of bread because the burger has just moved away. This veggie burger was EXCELLENT.
We look forward to continued ordering from John’s Place, and maybe some day with nice weather we’ll even make the trek just to see what the in house environment is.

Haven’t been to the shop yet, but have ordered delivery several times and they are really quick, the drivers are great and courteous. The food is good, pizza is above average, and the fries are good, haven’t gotten farther than that yet. I’ll keep ordering from John’s for sure, easy, good and quick, take-​out trifecta!

Placed an order for takeout. Food was ready when I got there and was delicious when I got home. Have eaten here several times and it never disappoints.

Absolutely incredible pizza like nothing else you have ever had. I went with the new York pizza which is a bacon chicken pizza with honey mustard. Sounds weird but honestly like nothing you have ever tasted. Go with the small pie more then enough for yourself I choked down a medium and I say choke because 6 slices in I was too full to finish but I wasn’t going to let the pizza go to waste. Debbie was so awesome one of the nicest people you will ever meet. The genuine kind of nice. You don’t see many people like her still around. Back to the food though the pizza was perfect and came out super fast not more then 15 minutes to wait for a sausage sub and a medium pizza. Eat here you honestly won’t regret it and go with the new York pizza.

Got some quick takeout using the Unilocal Eat24 app, which I never used before (more of a Seamless guy myself). Easy enough to navigate, and waited just 10 minutes and my food was ready.
The philly cheesesteak pizza was damn good. The crust was very crispy, hot, and they definitely don’t skimp on toppings. The «small» pizza was very sizable and more than enough for one person with a big appetite. I also tried the buffalo chicken sandwich, which is also massive. The chicken was fresh and came in huge chunks and the buffalo sauce with blue cheese dressing was unbelievably tasty. The lady at the counter was super friendly and even joked around with me for using the app to order takeout. She seemed to know everyone that came into the restaurant, which gave the joint a very familiar feel.
Great place for a quick meal in the Fairmount area. The offerings are pretty unique and the service is always very friendly. It’s definitely a neighborhood favorite and I’ll be back again.

I’m really digging their pizza. And their french fries were cooked perfectly. There is nothing worse than limp french fries. Their fries were crispy with a little salt added. The pizza had a perfect cheese to sauce ratio. It was a little oily, but not to the point where oil was dripping off the end of the slice.
The lady that took our order was nice, and laughed at the jokes my coworker made about me. But it was all in good spirit.
What made the visit best was the fact that they had air conditioning. Esp since it is close to 90° outside. Their pizza is better than some of the close competition pizza places nearby. Will be back again.
