The Pizza Shack

I was temporarily breaking my veganism after 5 years and looking to order some pizza with my friends.
I was pretty specific about what I was looking for– I didn’t want anything fancy, I didn’t want anything too thick or too thin, I wanted a good old slice of street pizza (if that makes sense to anyone)
I actually chose the Shack for 2 reasons: the wonderful aroma pouring out of it one night as I ran by and the pictures on Unilocal.
My friends and I ordered a large cheese pizza, a spinach stromboli, curly cheese fries and tossed salad.
The pizza was great– not AMAZING but i blame myself for this because I forget to request they put a good amount of sauce and bake it well done. But still tasted awesome.
Unfortunately the strombolis are pre-​made there. I know this because I placed the order online and got a call from the shack letting me know I could not keep the order as is with the extra ingredients inside that I requested. I really don’t understand why their online ordering system allows you to create your own stromboli when it’s not an option and I still need to go back and check that I was not charged for the extras. And it makes me wonder if they pre-​make the stromboli or do they buy them and their other foods frozen? It didnt taste great so it’s a possibility.
The curly cheese fries had velveeta or some type of whiz and it just isn’t my thing. The fries were crazy soggy and the cheese way too heavy and intense.
The salads were generously large and good.
The delivery came in a good amount of time on a very rainy day and the delivery man called as he was arriving and was so very nice!
I would def eat the pizza here again. That’s all though.
And FYI, no eatin– all delivery or pick up,.

My go to pizza spot. Pizza doesn’t cost an arm and a leg like it do these days… Pizza sauce is perfect to me (my personal preference.) cheese fries aren’t good, tastes like frozen fries with cheese on top and tossed in the microwave. You know that soft cheese that went hard and trying to make it melt again in microwave rubbery feel? Lol maybe I am so used to eating bad as a kid. Wings doesn’t have a good sauce in my opinion. But, I love their pizza. Delivery can be slow, so obviously, avoid ordering during busy times (when you’re netflixing and chilling like everybody else lol).

Amazing does not even begin to describe pizza shack’s strombolis. I ordered from grub hub and not only was the delivery super quick but it came piping hot. They do not skimp out on the cheese and the mozzarella is so fresh it tastes as if they make it in house… Maybe they do I don’t know. I was a bit worried because I have had strombolis in the past where there is too much dough and not enough filler but pizza shack surpassed my expectations. The ratio of inside ingredients to pizza dough was perfect. I would say there was just as much cheese and pepperoni I as there was pizza dough. And the dough… oh the dough! The dough is perfectly seasoned. It almost tastes like a croissant. I was a little disappointed it didn’t come with sauce on the side so next time I’ll be sure to ask for some tomato sauce on the side but if you are craving some cheesy delicious comfort food I highly suggest ordering a stromboli from here! Pizza Shack, 5 stars well deserved!

Still 5 stars in my book! I have been ordering from here since I was a kid. Great food, great people, and speedy delivery!

«The Pizza Shack» should change their name to «The Boli Shack!» I say that because, they have had the most consistent and delicious Stromboli in South Philly FOR YEARS now. THE BEST. That’s all I order from there. Make special trips there to pick strombolis up since I moved. Try ‘em, you’ll like ‘em! ;)

Love this place! We’ve ordered from them numerous times since we moved to south philly a few years ago and it has been consistently great. food and service. Pizzas are delish, sandwiches are on point, fries are nice and crispy, cheesesteaks are better then the tourist spots, and the delivery guy is awesome. not to mention delivery is always really fast. Always our go-​to when we have friends over late night on the weekends or during the week when we don’t want to cook. A+++

Had pizza and wings and they were very good. Especially the wings. I’ll order again!

In terms of overall food quality they’re more like two and a half or three stars, but 4 stars for consistency and generosity of portions. Where else you gonna get a seeded roll for no extra charge and add hot peppers for 25 cents.

This place has really changed and gone down hill. The Sicilian pizza used to be a great deal as well as delicious. But now their pizza is extremely salty and hardly edible. The cheese seems to coagulate on the pizza rather than melt. I don’t know what they’re doing but I miss what they used to be.

stromboli looked like a piece of charcoal with cheese falling out of it. proportions all screwed up, like ten pieces of pepperoni total and a gigantic block of low quality mozzarella. a blackened pile of grease that looks like something i left in the toilet after coming off oxys.
buffalo chicken cheesesteak is good but i didn’t order half meat. weird how the sandwich has so little actual chicken on it. like this cost several dollars more than a wawa sandwich, tastes about the same, and has like half the chicken.

Decent food, at decent prices. I order from this place all the time. Not because it is the best — but because the food is reliable, affordable, and it is very close!

I guess I’m a little biased, being that Pizza Shack is 50 feet from my door, but I LOVE their pizza, and curly fries, and cheesteaks, and… you get the picture!
I usually walk over unless I’m not feeling well and they’ve never complained about delivering so close. The girls and guys who work there are nice, professional and helpful. Overall if you’re looking for a new place (that been around for 30+ years!) for great food and service, look no further than Pizza Shack!

Great pizza and the cheese Gris are legit. Delivery is a bit slow but I guess perfection takes time.

The large calzones from here can easily feed 2 – 3 people! So yumm! Didn’t give them 5 stars only because I felt like they put too much ricotta in the calzone. I would definitely recommend this place! Food was good and hot when delivered.

The best pizza that I’ve tasted in South Philly. My favorite pizza from them is their Mediterranean White pizza. Every time I’ve had this pizza, it’s tasted fantastic. Even my cat loves this it. She actually nipped my finger once to get better taste of that delicious Mediterranean pizza.

Great pizza! Great hot wings! Pretty good delivery times, always great service.
The pizza has a soft thin hand tossed style crust that doesn’t hold up well when it’s covered in a lot of cheese, sauce, and toppings but that’s how I like my pizza!
It’s what my fiancé and I refer to as ninja turtle pizza, Cheesy gooey goodness!
If you prefer a thin crisp crust pizza that lacks adequate sauce/​cheese but holds its shape in your hand this probably isn’t for you.
I do not recommend the buffalo chicken cheese steak it was ground chicken, it was huge but soggy flavorless mess…

May not be the BEST pizza but its always good and consistent. Reminds me of childhood, so I always order from there! A Sicilian is reasonably priced as well.

I discovered Pizza Shack on Grub Hub and I have yet to be disappointed! I love getting the Italian Hoagie or Grinder. The cheese fries are also on point. It’s the perfect delivery food for when you’ve had a long day at work and do not feel like cooking. One of my south Philly favorites.

I have to say when I call this place the people are always friendly and take my order very fast and ask all the right questions. It a average time for pick up and delivery, nothing worse or better then any other local place. The variety of pizza is great. I have always had a great pizza from here and stromboli are always great. One of my fav’s is the cheese steak Hoagie pizza! It is so so good! I find that the Shack gets my orders right mostly all the time, were I have been having problems with other local places as of late.
I recommend trying this place and deciding for yourself, it wont disappoint.

Stromboli was burnt on the outside.
Pizza is — meh.
I’ve ordered from them twice and haven’t been impressed.
