LaScala’s

I eat lunch here a couple times a week. I really like their salads and their buffalo chicken wrap. The portions are great. The cashiers are nice. Food is made fresh and always comes out pretty quickly.

Lines move fast so that may be part of the problem is the rush to move people.
Ordered slice of meatball and Buffalo Chicken gut it in about 5 min or less.
Pizza was Luke warm meats were dried out like it was made yesterday.
The blue cheese on the buffalo was nasty couldn’t even finish it.
Aside from the quick service wasn’t happy with the food. Plenty of other options in this food court that look better then this. I have food regret and wish I had gone with my second choice. If I had to give advice don’t make so many pizzas in advance you can see them stacked up and cold. I would have waited longer for a fresher pizza.

Ton of food. Solid quality. Average wait time for lunch. No complaints.

Stopped in for lunch a little while ago. As usual, it was a busy day at the Comcast Center, and fortunately, LaScala’s wasn’t nearly as crowded as some of the other places in that food court. That’s good to know especially when you are limited on time. If you’re going here in the first place, you probably are.
They are particularly fast if you are just getting pizza. It’s already made and they have this toaster conveyor belt thingy — I know it has a name and I don’t know what it’s called — that they heat it up on. So if you are ordering pizza they will literally have you out in around 5 minutes — depending on how long the line is. If you are getting something else, you will wait a little while. Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t feel like you wait that long, but when slices of pizza are flying out of the oven, and people are coming and going, it seems like a bit of a wait.
The food is worth the wait. One of the best meatball parm heros ever. Great fresh ingredients, just the right proportions, very satisfying. Will definitely return.

Good prices, decent size portion, ok tasting food, but be prepared to wait!
Ordered the special chicken parm with spaghetti and it took FOREVER to come out! I felt like they needed to boil the pasta or something, like it was still raw. Pasta didn’t come out al dente like it should, but the flavoring was good.
Will I be back? Sure! Esp when it’s freezing and or raining, it’ll be a trip through the undergrounds for me. :-)

Chances are, if I’m getting lunch at the Comcast Center, I’m going straight for LaScala’s! They used to run a 2 slice with soda special that was like $ 7 or $ 8… but even though they no longer have the special, can still get the same thing for just a tad bit more.
I normally get my favorite, the buffalo chicken pizza, but have started branching off and trying some different slices as well. Newest favorite is the spinach and pepper that has olives, feta, etc on it. Slices are huge! Definitely great portion size! Only thing that irks me is that their to-​go «containers» are just the slices on plates and inside a paper bag. I normally get my slices to go so having to carry it back a block is sometimes a pain. But that doesn’t stop me from getting this yummy pizza!

A descent pizza place in Comcast Center, I’ve got a couple slices of pizza here, a few times. Big slices, descent pizza. This is a place where they bake pizzas, and have them on display for when you want a slice or two. So, I don’t know if you can order a whole pizza, fresh, or not. I’m usually not a fan of «slice» pizza places, since you don’t really know the freshness of the pizza you’re eating, or much anything else about it. Plus it ends up being quite a bit more expensive than if you would buy a whole pizza. Since I can’t carry a whole pizza from here back home due to logistical issues — ya know, a huge pizza & box on the train, anyone? — I don’t know how a fresh pizza would taste vs a ready-​made one.
They also have strombolis, some pasta dishes, and other pizza-​place food.
The slices I’ve eaten were all big, hearty, and were pretty good, but a good comparison can’t be made since I usually get my pizzas fresh, hot, out of the oven, from wherever I do order pizza from. So, in summation, a pretty good pizza spot for lunch if you work/​happen to be in the immediate area. Prices are what you’d expect for Comcast center.

Great pizza! Amazing salads! Quick and friendly service at any of their locations! I highly recommend their chopped salad!

Nice pizza, decent prices. Not mind-​blowing, but under the Comcast Tower? It’s good enough. Less than $ 7 for two decent sized slices. Lots of toppings and cheese.

Despite being a mob scene at lunch the service was very efficient. I ate a slice of pepper and sausage and it was excellent: the crust was perfectly crisp, the cheese and sauce were flavorful and I could tell the sausage and peppers were fresh. While 3.75 for a slice was high, the pizza is delicious and it ain’t cheap being in the Comcast Center.

I eat here relatively frequently for lunch and I am always happy with my pizza. The slices are nice and crispy without being too greasy and the toppings are good quality. Even their whole wheat pizza is good.
If you’re in the mood for a really late lunch, or early dinner, slices are 2 for 1 between 4 – 6 p.m. And while they are busy at lunch, I’ve found them to be quite efficient at getting the orders out quickly.

We should have listened to the latest reviews and stayed away. We were there around 9pm, and it was sparsely populated. The server was slow and indifferent. I ordered the seafood fra diavolo which was awfull. The broth had no depth or body. It honestly tasted like spicy V8 and had the exact same consistency. The seafood was overcooked. I had very little of it, and they waiter didn’t ask or care.
My daughter had seafood pasta. It was a little better — reaching «barely ok.» It had no salt or pepper (something you’d think would be basic. It took way too long to flag down anyone to get salt and pepper.
I hate to say it, but I’d stay away. There are so many other wonderful restaurants in the area.

I’m completely surprised to leave a 1-​star review, especially after my first experience here at LaScala’s at the Comcast Center’s (it was great). However, today I ordered «The Arugula» salad (same thing I ordered before and loved!) and added chicken to the already impressive mix of Gorgonzola, caramelized onions, marinated eggplant, roasted peppers and white balsamic dressing. The chicken tasted as though the «cooks» went to the Marriott around the corner and scraped it off of some low-​rent wedding reception; the caramelized onions were mushy, wet and flavorless, and the marinated eggplant tasted absolutely stale! On top of it all (quite literally) was the gummy white balsamic dressing. This is not an eleven-​dollar salad, and, although my first experience here a month ago warranted coming back, this has put me off forever.

I rarely ever get to the Comcast Center anymore — so today a friend and I met at 11:40 AM — just in time to beat the lunch rush and the long lines.
La Scala made her vegetable sandwich on focaccia (huge and fresh) to order, as did they my chicken florentine — no cheese. HUGE portions. — Worth the 12 – 15 minute wait for the cooked-​to-​order hot meals.
$ 10 a pop after tax — but big enough for lunch and dinner!

Our office has ordered pizza, salads, and pasta for lunch from LaScala’s on numerous occasions. Separately, I’ve been known to pop in for a slice or two for lunch when I need something quick and easy. Slices run $ 3 – 4 each, so not too bad for a Center City lunch. There’s a ton of variety, but my favorites are the mushroom and the tomato pie. The pastas are good too, but expect to drop at least $ 10 if you go that route.

I stopped by around 4PM — after the lunch hour rush so take this review for what it is.
They had a wide selection of pizza’s … however they were clearly sitting there since lunch if not longer. Not fresh — but it is what it is. I chose the ‘freshest’ of the bunch — a gorgonzola slice.
Actually pretty delicious — sweet, tangy, and topped with caramelized onions.
Typically ‘gourmet’ slice prices — $ 3 to $ 4 a pop.
They have a bunch of pre-​made pastas ready to be put into the brick-​oven — seems to be a decent spot for lunch. I’ll have to stop by for a review during optimal business hours.

I write this over that cold leftover slice in your fridge that honestly does taste just as awesome cold. I don’t really believe people when they say stuff like that but with La Scala’s, the magic is real.
On occasion my office orders La Scala’s for lunch and it’s that one pizza place with quirky pizzas that everyone surprisingly loves! My favorite it the mediterranean with eggplant and ricotta– it’s an awesome leftovers pizza, too!
We also like to get the chicken and broccoli, but there are so many great options! Order by the slice at storefront, or choose an amazing salad. It’s a pricey place, but most of the Marketplace is, and I feel like this has the best quality of each of its features for the price.
Avoid lunch hour, though, or order ahead!

This place has by far some of the best red sauces I’ve ever had. Each visit I get the tagliatelle with the bolognese and each time I am impressed. The pizza is also good if you just want something light. The location is very convenient if you are doing the touristy things like independence hall. I would give it another star if the service had ever been memorable. Each visit it seems harder and harder to get a refill for the drinks… but the food still stands out to me.

Awesome place to get lunch in the Comcast Center! It is a bit pricy but their penne alla vodka with crab is amazing and so are thir pizzas! They make everything fast though and its great portions to go for lunch.
The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it is a little pricy and the woman at the counter is not very pleasent.

I have found a new lunch time favorite…
Get the grilled chicken sandwich! It comes with provolone and roasted peppers on a fresh foccacia bread, and it’s only $ 7 and comes with pasta salad and it’s HUGGGGGE!
A friend and myself always get this and share it and it’s plenty.

Nice! Haven’t had E. Coast Italian before and I liked it. The pizza was really good, very addictive. The sausage on it was to die for. The meatballs on it weren’t that great but they were edible… The meatballs tasted like only sugar and cumin.
My friend had the pasta which I posted. We though it was amusing that it looks like maggots. I really liked it though. It was different than any other pasta I’ve tasted (probably better and more «legit», ha ha… LA has terrible food). The taste of the wheat was more pronounced and the pasta was a bit chewier and bready, though pleasantly so. I wish it had a bit more sauce but I liked it.
