Tommie’s Restaurant

Absolutely terrible
Alot of people said they have great chicken parm, so I ordered it. It couldn’t be worse. It was frozen chicken fingers with barely any cheese, topped with Hunts canned tomato sauce. Never again.
The mild wings came with Tabasco sauce. It was a total joke. I’m so pissed I didn’t get Franco’s.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the salads… phone order for lunch and it’s arrives in 10 min…

Easily the worst pizza in the area. I know not to expect too much from your average hole-​in-​the-​wall joint in Philadelphia, but this was practically inedible. The crust was kind of soft and spongy (though still, somehow, dry) with no real flavor (reminding me of Digiorno’s), the sauce tasted off– almost sour, and the cheese was a congealed mess with large puddles of grease on top. I asked if something was perhaps off today and the manager defensively declared it was the same as always and fresh out of the oven. Regardless, all but two bites of mine ended up in the trash and I still can’t get the taste out of my mouth. Just awful.

Dont waste your time. The pizza is weird and they give kid size portions. I work in the area and this place isnt even an option after today.

Tommy’s is always consistent. Cheap prices and good hoagies and cheesesteaks. Pizza is that Greek style, not bad not great. Thick short crust. I come here for sandwiches mostly. Place is clean, people are nice

One day I walked into Tommy’s because I was absolutely starving and couldn’t walk another block for some pizza. I ordered a few slices. My friend had told me previously that he didn’t like the pizza there in the slightest, but I was too hungry to care. How bad could it even be, it’s pizza after all. It’s nearly impossible to screw up.
I received my slices and began to dig in, only to slowly realize that gee, could this be what bad pizza actually tastes like? It took me a while to put my finger on, but I finally figured out what that distinct flavor: it’s grade school cafeteria pizza. Try it for yourself and see if that’s not an accurate description.
I haven’t had any of their other food, but I will certainly not be returning any time soon.

Great delicious food. Cheese fries are amazing. Pizza is always impressive. Nice clean little pizza shop

Its strange, they manage to get the dough down perfect, which is where most places mess up, but the pizza just doesn’t come together. The sauce seems too sweet and the cheese has a strange rubbery consistency.
That said, the steak stromboli is great, and maybe with the sauce on the inside it doesn’t dry out as much or the salty meat plays well against it because I think they have the best stromboli in town.
Chicken wings are above average, especially for a small mom-​pop shop. The stuffed tater tots are pretty good as a side too.
Basically, there are a few hits and a few misses on the menu, but overall, a great choice for a local rainy night, or a night you just don’t feel like dealing with gourmet take-​out.

Just a normal hoagie/​pizza joint. Solid food at great prices. I got a cheesesteak and it was pretty good. Not fatty or papery meat. Fresh roll. Not too greasy. Better than anything I’ve ever gotten at Pat’s/Geno’s. The staff was extremely pleasant. I just moved in across the street and I can definitely see myself going there from time to time.
I was told Central Pizza a block away was better, but I haven’t been there yet so I can’t say. I’ll try it and let you know :-)
Update: Central was better. Not by much though.

Tommy’s is your standard Fishtown pizza and hoagie shop — it’s frequented by locals, is not much to look at, but makes decent food at reasonable prices.
I recommend the «Tommy’s Special Pizza», as it is only $ 13 for a large with plenty of toppings. It’s not «hand tossed», «brick oven», «flatbread» or anything else fancy, but it’s pretty tasty as a quick pizza. They use oil on the crust, but it’s not Pizza Hut greasy; just understand that’s how it’s made.
The burgers and hoagies are satisfactory as well — eat up!

I barely survived that slice of pizza. It was everything that pizza should never be. The crust was somehow gritty, and soaked in oil. The cheese was leathery and slightly sour. I couldn’t finish it. Then I bought a Yoohoo and it was expired; luckily, I’m convinced that Yoohoo never really expires, and it was the only good thing about that afternoon.
