Kosmo Pizza & Grille

I’ve been living in Center City for more than 15 years and pizza shops are a dime a dozen. But this place outshines them all! There hasn’t been something I ordered that wasn’t delicious. And don’t even get me started on their burgers! Even ordered with several toppings, it arrives hot and looking like it should be in an ad… not to mention it doesn’t get messy as you eat it. The service is quick and the delivery guys are the best in the city, who greet you with a smile and really show appreciation when they’re tipped.

We live across the street from here and order at least once a week. Great reliable italian. Love the salad, wings, hoagies… the veggie pizza… the chicken parm… can’t really go wrong. Always speedy. I love that they always comp a 2 liter. Try it. You”ll love it.

1 star off only for price. I ordered a 12-​inch 3 cheese pizza and added pepperoni. It was so good! Thick gooey cheese including generous amounts of Parmesan which I loved. Their pepperoni is nice and thin (which I like) and it wasn’t greasy at all. Total was $ 17 (including delivery charge and tip) so that felt like a bit much for a 12-​inch pie. Luckily it was delicious so I’m not that mad!

I really like this pizza place. We order take out from here alot. Great «around the corner» spot.

Lazaro’s was my go-​to pizza place; now we alternate between Lazaro’s and Kosmo. Where Lazaro’s pizza sauce is sweet, Kosmo’s is perfectly savory and flavorful. Where Lazaro’s pizza crust is thinner and has more bite, Kosmo’s is chewy and has more texture. The sides and wings are not as reliably good, but they’re decent. Fast delivery (love the online ordering), friendly service.

You know, I haven’t been that impressed with the pizza in Philly. Tried a bunch so far, nothing doing. The big, floppy, need-​three-​paper-​plates-​to-​hold-​them-​up slices from Lorenzos and Lazaro’s are fun and ok NY style slices, but not great. I haven’t yet ventured to Fishtown to line up for that supposedly «best-​pizza-​in-​America» place. Have relied primarily on Papa John’s when the Sixers score 90 (and sometimes even when they don’t).
Kosmo’s was something a friend alerted me to during a recent weekend study sesh/​excuse for ordering food. Got some pies, they were GREAT. Pulled pork BBQ pizza was to die for, chicken pesto pizza was pretty good (though a tad salty/​greasy for me), and the veggie pizza was otherworldly good as well.
Will follow up and see if consistency is a thing I can count on them for. Will try them again ASAP.

Unfortunately very doughy and cheesey. First bite was good, fifth not so much. Not a bad option for cheapish pizza tho…

Great spot for a quick bite to eat.
They have a really good selection, PLUS ONLINE ORDERING. I LOVE ONLINE ORDERING. I was doing some studying the other night and it was pouring out, so I decided to order-​in.
Pizza with ground beef:
Wasn’t expecting much, but I was actually really impressed. Not only was the slice massive, the flavor was on point. The crust was a good combination of doughy and crispy.
Greek Salad with Chicken:
Near perfect. Big slices of grilled chicken and chunks of feta. The portion is huge, so I could have easily had this for my meal. The only thing this needed was a good Greek dressing. I had to settle for balsamic, but NBD. I’ll definitely be back.

My husband and I have been getting take out here regularly since they opened. Everything that we’ve tried has been excellent, especially the calzone. The small is more then enough for both of us. We also always get a pasta which you can’t go wrong with. Their serving sizes are very generous.
We have pizza places that are much closer to us but Kosmos is worth the extra distance to get to. Also you have Big Gay Ice Cream right next door! I highly recommend Kosmos if you’re in the mood for pizza or pasta.

My husband and I had to check out this pizza after it received an average of 4.5 stars on Unilocal.We ordered a simple pepperoni pizza and quite frankly it is a step up from Dominos. Avoid!

Do not be fooled by the «small» calzone! That thing is a monster.
I’m not normally a calzone person, but figured what the heck and ordered one on a whim. I now remember why… The cheese… An ungodly amount of cheese. Was pretty hungry after skipping lunch, and only made it through ¹⁄₃ of it, at best.
Despite my poor ordering choices, I could tell that this place used fresh, quality ingredients and had a more extensive selection of toppings than most pizza joints. They provided a generous side of delicious marinara and I loved the ability to a) Order online, b) Fully customize my order with a lot of different options (add pesto? Yes please!), c) Provide special order instructions, and d) Order in advance by letting you choose the delivery time.
I liked that the prices were super reasonable. I liked that they sent me order updates, like when my food was leaving the shop. I liked how friendly the delivery guy was. So although it wasn’t my favorite meal, all of that was enough to boost my rating to 4 stars, and certainly to give it another try.

My boyfriend and I have been ordering from Kosmo’s for about 8 months now and have never had any complaints! We’ve ordered online and over the phone — both ways are quick and easy. Delivery is quick and the food is always hot. I absolutely recommend this place.

Solid pizza.
Ordered online and they delivered it pretty quick. The pizza itself wasn’t the most amazing pizza I’ve ever had but just solid tasting pizza. Flavors were there at a decent price. I thought it was legit and will be ordering from there again.

Best pizza I’ve had in Philadelphia.
Owners and staff treat everyone like they are regulars. The speed of service is top notch. When they say your pick up order will be ready in 10 – 15 minutes they aren’t kidding!
You have to try the white margarita pizza and the pasta dishes, but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. In addition to it all, they have great prices which don’t reflect the very high quality of food they serve. This is a spot where you will find yourself going back to again and again.

Of course this isn’t the most amazing pizza on the planet. But it’s pretty damn tasty and the service and food is delicious.
One time we went for dinner and they gave us a free sample of a pizza roll. Soooo yummy. I ordered the shrimp scampi pasta and it was way better than most places that serve pasta. We’ve eaten here about 10 times and they’ve become our go to for a quick tasty meal.
The food is fresh, inexpensive and quick. I highly recommend delivery too.

I love this place!!! The delivery is soooooo fast ordered and my doorbell rang in 21 minutes! (I am pretty close though). The food was so hot it nearly burned my mouth!!! Now that’s awesome service! Everything I have tried has been fantastic pizza, cheesesteak, gyro, curly fries, and buffalo wings (which were hot, sauced to perfection, and crisp) yum! Im about to order right now! They made a tiny mistake in my order once and not only rectified it but really almost went overboard in making sure I was happy with my next order. Just a nice, super clean, family business well run and happens to have great food! So glad you guys opened!!!
Im always afriad to see the places I order from hoping its not a dirty hole in the wall… Well the food at Kosmo was so good I had to go and dine in! A first for me. The place is very nice looking and squeaky clean You should have complete ease of mind when you order from here. You’ll love it!

Kosmo, you are pretty ok pizza.
Not mind blowing, but pretty delicious.
I like that you deliver, your prices are solid, and the plain pizza is pretty much perfect ratio of sauce/​cheese/​crust.
Fast delivery, great menu options– not bad new friend.
Will be ordering from here again.

I was walking down South Street on my way home from work one evening and stumbled upon Kosmo. I looked at the menu briefly and decided I would try it for lunch one day. A few days later, I was in the mood for a grilled chicken sandwich and thought about Kosmo. I ordered the grilled chicken and spinach sandwich on a long roll with provolone and a sprinkle of shredded Parmesan. It was amazing. The roll was incredibly soft and fresh, the chicken, coupled with sautéed spinach and provolone was so warm and delicious. It was extremely flavorful, but not over the top.
I have definitely found one of my solid go-​to spots for lunch in the Center City South area. The price was reasonable, especially for the area. My sandwich cost $ 8 and it was enough for two people, depending on your appetite. I ate the entire thing. It’s great to have options for a reasonable price in the area. I plan to try their paninis and various other items on the menu.
If you’re in the area and you’re in the mood for a hoagie/​hero/​sub, pizza, a panini, etc., I definitely recommend giving Kosmo a try. Feel free to dine in as well. The place is very clean and welcoming.

We couldn’t wait to try the new neighborhood pizza place. Last night we ordered the pesto chicken pizza and a chef salad. They told us 15 minutes and that’s exactly what it took to make our food. The staff was very friendly, especially Kosmo. The pizza was good. The salad was good but could have had more to it because it was a lot of lettuce (i.e. Eggs). Overall kosmo’s was good and we would order from them again.

I had the opportunity to try Anthony Grammeno’s new shop on opening day! I wish I could give him a ten star rating because this new shop is going to make a killing.
Lets start with the décor– old skewl meets contemporary. The vintage Coke coolers are really neat and the open kitchen is even better. The green and yellow color combo instantly puts you in a great mood. A great mood = a great meal. I’ve always said that the best business move you can make is choosing a bright color for your walls. The green instantly brings freshness to the restaurant which is the perfect description of the quality of the food.
The food is top notch. This restaurant is exactly what my neighborhood needed. There is no pizza place in the area that has high quality pizza at lower prices. Other pizza places are mediocre at best– I am excited that Kosmo is now open. I had the chance to try a few items off of his menu.
The margarita pizza is unbelievable– the red sauce Anthony uses is the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The tomatoes are powerful and create a perfect harmony with the fresh mozzarella and basil that are carefully constructed on top.
His buffalo chicken pizza does not fail like most do in the grease department. He managed to create a pizza that brings a lot of flavor without overpowering it with dripping grease.
The best part of Anthony’s pizzas are the crust. On the thinner side, it is perfectly baked and not doughy. There is enough substance to hold the fresh toppings but also creates a great textural balance with it’s crunch factor.
The buffalo sauce used on his chicken wings is different. It has a strong flavor without assaulting your mouth. Most wings are not enjoyable to eat due to the numbing sensation of the heat. Anthony’s wings kick ass.
You can tell that he has high quality meat for his cheesesteaks and burgers. He seasons the meat beforehand so it has a great flavor on its own. In a city known for its cheesesteaks, he is competing against the legends. He definitely holds his own with a great roll, flavorful meat and an abundance of toppings.
I cant wait to see this restaurant succeed in this neighborhood. Even from the first day, I am betting on them doing extremely well. I’m rooting for them!
