We had an enjoyable meal! The waiter was very kind. We came here because it’s our friends favorite pizza in the city. The pizza was good, although it’s not my favorite style. We were 4 people and had 3 pies, which was the perfect amount. The pizza is very very thin so it’s not as much as you think. It was on the expensive side for what you get. We got a white pie, a red pie (standard cheese) and a margarita. You have to make a reservation to reserve your dough balls because they only make a limited number per day.

Wow! This place is very unique and totally old-school. Unique in that their pizzas are super-thin crust, made to order from scratch which usually requires reservations days in advance. So order 2X of what you normally eat … you will want seconds! We had a pickup order pending but made a decision on the spot to sit down and try a pie while there and they accommodated us, including an impromptu request for a 2nd pie to eat-in. Note: you cannot hurry quality so be prepared to wait, especially if walking in w/ out a reservation. That said, both of our pies were delivered faster than the wait times quoted once we sat down. Old school in that there is open seating and no hostess station. But once you get a table, servers swarmed all over us and never let our beverages run dry. Oh, and it’s BYOB if you want alcohol with your pizza.

My daughter has wanted to try this place for pizza ever since she found out one of her favorite baseball players loves it. While there were open tables, we were advised it would be upwards of 90 minutes to be served as we did not have a reservation. We did not see a mention of needing a reservation on their website, although they do suggest that wait times may vary, as they are a “one-man, one-oven operation.” The restaurant looks very appealing from the outside, and is inviting on the inside, although there is no clear hostess station and we had to walk into the middle of the restaurant before finding someone who worked there. However, we were greeted by numerous people shortly after. Staff was very friendly, but my daughter was too hungry to wait to eat. The food sounds amazing, and I hope we can return soon to get the full experience. I can appreciate the labor involved with one person cooking, and would suggest pushing ready made appetizers to keep your tables full while waiting for pizza to be cooked. SUGGESTION: Something along the lines of home-made/specialty potato chips or veggies with dipping sauces to order while waiting would have been enough to tide us over. Have a cool assortment of sauces, and people will look forward to waiting for their pizza.

There is just something about this location that I always find nostalgic. I love catching a glimpse of the oven and watching them maneuver the pies around. Being here this time for a party was a different experience as the pies brought out were random but such a great way to do it as I was able to have a little of everything and even tried some I may not have ordered. Everything served was absolutely delicious, especially the tomato and spinach pie. Soooooo good!

Came here with a group and they were very friendly and accommodating! The service was great, they were very helpful and there were so many choices/options. they brought out a couple pizzas at a time until we were done which was a great way for each of us to try a bit of everything. The pizza was delicious, although I was not a fan of the crust as it was quite dry.

Wow. Thanks for keeping your quality control spot on. We got 6 pies 3/4 cooked to go. Car drop service was fantastic and when we got home 10 minutes more in the oven and perfection. Everyone ate and everyone said fantastic. Thanks Again.

Don’t forget to order your dough! Original brick oven pizza. If you know the pie, this Port Richmond, post-WWII-established family endeavor offers the best of pizza in Philly. It’s the pie that matters. As for customer service: any & every knucklehead is impossible to please on that front. Don’t let your attitude get in the way of enjoyment. Go for the pie & stop complaining. Be grateful this gastronomic pleasure is available!

Pizza is great if you like this crust which I do. Our server was very sweet. Keep in mind they are a cash only operation but do have an ATM on prem. Not much atmosphere here but im not sure much is needed. I only expected more due to their reputation. The group tried 3 different pies all good. Their standard red being the best of the 3. BYOB as well (with two breweries nearby).

We love pizza and have been wanting to try Tacconelli’s for a long time as a few friends have said it is the best in Philly. It is certainly an exceptional thin crust pizza. The margherita pizza is particularly delicious. Our waitress was so sweet and friendly. We will definitely be back!
