This place is a phenomenal staple in the area, and has been for... I think decades? When I worked at CHOP or Penn, we would use them for catering and it was always fantastic. HOT PIZZAS, COLD SALADS, GREAT SERVICE. read more

I ordered delivery for a group of women to gather for dinner before a carol service in West Philly and a member of the group had recommended Allegro. For 15 women I ordered 3 pizzas: - Allegro veggie - Allegro house (pepperoni and ground beef, onions, green peppers, mushrooms I think) - Margherita We had a couple slices leftover and everyone enjoyed their pizzas. We also ordered a large greek salad and when i asked if it would be enough the friendly pizza person laughed. I understood when it arrived - it is the largest salad I've seen in a while. Could have fed 30-40 people! we had so much leftover and it was so generous with probably a dozen hard boiled eggs in it and a couple green peppers and all the rest. Delicious and so huge! Next time I need to cater a simple event I'll definitely turn to Allegro's! read more

So I ordered from this establishment through Uber eats. The food arrived, hot and fresh.. I ended up ordering the Philly cheesesteak platter/meal. And it comes with a side of fries and salad.. which the salad was very crisp and I can tell that it had fresh chopped vegetables and it as well. My boxers filled to brim. I was very happy with my meal. I do wish that the Philly cheesesteak have more cheese on it.. read more

Im from New York and have not had good luck with good pizza in Philly until we went to Allegro Pizza last night. The people who work there were friendly and attentive. I had a white slice with spinach & white slice with spinach, ricotta and tomato. The crust was absolutely perfect nice and crispy but not burnt. My husband had a white slice & philly cheesesteak slice. My daughter had the philly cheesesteak w/ provolone & onions sandwich. They both felt the same way as I did. The tables were constantly being cleaned and it was a busy but still relaxing atmosphere as well. Will definitely go there again. Sorry no pictures this time. read more

Always a great pizza, loves the tuna hoagie. Followed instructions. Been a staple in UC for years!

The pizza is delicious, great vibe when you dine in, and the service is on point. I don't recall ever being disappointed when I dined there. Keep up the excellent service. read more

I always order Allegros Pizza. There pizza is delicious and great customer service. Recently I decided to get there Regular Cheese Steak Stromboli. W/ Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese, Beef Steak, Green Peppers, Onions, Pepperoni, Sausage and Mushrooms. Overall, it was a great portion. The Stromboli I have to give a 0/5. It wasn't good to me. it was way too oily, it barley had beef steak, the mushrooms were raw, it was no green peppers, onions and sausage in it. I only gave 3 stars because they have great pizza and good customer service. read more

My ANM was late and we were working short so she decided to treat us to lunch. It was a delivery order and it did come fast. I wanted a Quesadilla but they don't sell them anymore. The menus need updating because it was a lot of stuff they don't sell anymore on their menu. They said the panini is similar , not really. It's a lot more breading and it was kind of dry. Luckily we had some French dressing at the job, so I put that on the panini. The fries were fine, can't really mess that up. It wasn't my money to waste, so I ate it. Hopefully they can get their menu together, she said she spent a little over $80 for the 3 panini platters, a Stromboli and salad. read more

Had pizza catered from here. It was alright. Nothing outstanding to call it the best nor anything wrong with it. It was average pizza - had different varieties including regular cheese and a vegetarian mixed pie. read more

Excellent food, very nice, friendly and courteous staff. Highly recommended. I always order from Allegro for all my events as well as on the regular. Love them! read more

This is the classic drunk pizza place and for what it's worth, it's pretty decent. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could; I've had better cheap pizza, but for a restaurant that opens very late at night it is pretty decent. The pizza itself is alright - it's your average, run of the mill pizza. It's good for a late night snack. The dough is nice; whenever I eat here, I find the crust isn't as hard as some other thin pizza slices and I find myself eating the crust. I haven't tried anything outside of the pizza, but I think I'll only be coming back when it's very late at night. read more

NEVER BUY SLICES, IN FACT JUST NEVER EAT HERE The pizza is not that great to begin with, you know the kind where the crust is a little raw but the not enough cheese is kind of old and overcooked so it comes off with the first bite and is just not very tasty. Zesto is 2 blocks away and their sauce is far superior and so is their pizza and everything on the menu. If you usually get delivery from this nasty ass pizza place, try Zesto. Fast delivery and much better Italian food. So my point about the slices if you find you have to settle for Allegro instead of the many better pizza places, a cheese slice will cost you $4.25 but a 6 slice pie will cost you $15. Take it home and have it later, but don't pay twice the price for a slice of this shit pie. The staff is on the phone, watching tv and bullshitting, so they got my order wrong and I had to return it. That's the entire reason I am bothering to share my opinion about them. If they just listened and got my order right. This review would never happen. read more

Allegro Pizza and Grill - Is that pizza? - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Expensive. You are paying University City prices. The pizza is good. If I'm in the area I would eat there, but it is not my go to place for pizza and Buffalo wings. read more

You would assume that this place would be better then an Pizza Hut, Little Caesars or Dominos.... NAH... For $20 for a shitty ass uneven pepperoni pizza, I was bamboozled thinking they'd be any good. Never again. I should have known better. Do not waste your money here if you wany good pizza. Shit a Elio's pizza would have been better. read more

Terrible customer service. Stood at the pizza counter for like 15 minutes. They were not busy at all and there was like 4 workers standing around. No one greeted me and they just looked at me and kept going. I actually had to say hey can I get a slice of pizza. One woman with glasses was on her phone which is completely unsanitary while handling food with no gloves. Highly disappointed. I am a sous chef at a Steven Star restaurant and I would never treat customers the way I was treated today. read more

The pizza was average and the pricing was great for 2 slices and a drink. A nice variety of dishes

I was trying to support a small business, but don't waste your time ordering pizza. I asked for vegetarian slice and a extra cheese slice. This is the foolery I received. I could've slapped Kraft cheese and peppers on my own pizza instead of paying for this to be delivered. read more

Great pizza, sandwiches and salads. Fast and friendly service. BBQ Chicken Pizza is my favorite

Ordered here from work. Great pizza. Thin crust and fresh. Delivered on time. Delicious every time.

I got the Cheesesteak. I was pretty much the only person eating a cheesesteak. I quickly found out why. 150 beers, the pizza smelled amazing and the cheesesteak was average at best. If I go back it will be for a pizza and beer special. read more

Why not just set the French fries on fire next time? I was going to leave the review at that, but I'm required to write more. The cheese steak was alright, but what a waste of time for the delivery driver to bring me those burned cheese fries and a waste of my money. read more

I have to admit, I do like Allegro Pizza a lot! This place sells the pie-by-the-slice which is great for lunch or anytime of day for a snack. There's a huge selection of beer and you can buy by the six-pack, too! I've ordered catering from here a few times as well... and they have ridiculous specials like 50 pizzas plus 20 2-liters for $500!!! I'll be back again soon. read more

I am dairy free and go with the tomato pie. I also like that they have beer in the to go case.

Literally walked in there 2 minutes ago and asked for a plain cheese slice. It was 10:20 PM. They close at 12:00 AM. There were at least a dozen sit down customers and half a dozen people waiting for their orders. Cashier told me they don't have plain slices. It's almost 2 hours until closing. What is this joke about a pizzeria not serving cheese pizza? If this place was anywhere but in a college town it wouldn't last a week. read more

As pizza goes it is just your basic run of the mill pizza place. It is fine for the basics. Fries are always soggy The Stromboli is surprisingly good. Add ricotta for a nice calzone. It is probably the best pizza in the general area. read more

My friend and I ordered Allegro Pizza after seeing Justin Timberlake in concert. My semi-drunk friend said, "I am kinda drunk and this pizza still tastes like shit. It's disgusting." We specifically ordered ranch; did not get it. A complete waste of $30. If you love yourself or even care about yourself at all, don't order food from here. Go to bed hungry instead. read more

Allegro Pizza and Grill - This is a generic pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Allegro Pizza at 40th and Spruce Streets in University City, Philadelphia is centrally located and has a convenient parking lot although is easily walked to from everywhere on Penn's campus. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and private single-use unisex restrooms. The restaurant and grounds are always clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful and service is pretty quick, on weekends and late nights it can get pretty busy. There are four large TV's. The menu is large, I have tried most items on it. Pizza is always available and slices are ready pretty quick. They have a very large supply of beer, wine, and other beverages including fountain soda. Everything is available for eat-in, carry-out, and or delivery, **NOTE CALL THE RESTAURANT DIRECTLY, not a third party, their drivers are quick and you don't pay the upcharges third parties tag onto the cost of the items as well as service and delivery charges. They offer both pork and beef sausage as toppings, and large salads, although they may not have a full pie prepared for a slice you want most of the time they will customize slices to order like my favorite, the Hawaiian slice in the photo is fire! They have a HUGE 28" pizza that boasts 16 slices, (I won't say I haven't got that a few times to have leftovers all week for snacks or lunch). I do prefer real silverware, especially when eating salads but that is not always available since the pandemic. They make their own Italian sauces in-house and prepare everything fresh to order. They have excellent hand-dipped and spun milkshakes, hold the whipped cream, it's not the best. They have hand sanitizer available and the kitchen, front and back are immaculate. Food Safety and Sanitation are the top priority here. Sometimes the crowd is a handful being on a college campus but it's always a fun visit and an excellent meal. They are open late at night and it is a great place to get caught up with friends while I'm enjoying my Hawaiian Pizza I am always treated like Ohana (Hawaiian for family)! read more

Consistent and good, try the white pizza, eat in or takeout, there is outdoor seating

Avoid this place. The pineapple on the hawaiian pizza had obviously gone bad, and the people working here are not very bright. Messed up order and tried to blame on the customer. Also doesn't look like a very organized or clean kitchen. read more

You know it's good pizza when they're arguing ! Best pizza I've had in awhile. Good service.

While this is my local pizza shop and the food is usually pretty good, I would recommend eating in rather than delivery or pick-up. The portions are better in-store, the food is fresh and hot, and the service is notably better. Ordering pick up or delivery, I've had several scenarios where they don't deliver my order, miss a few items, and take more time than people who just walk in and order. read more

Really awful service at this restaurant. I have been coming here a while but had another bad experience. I ordered a burger last week around 10:30 pm. Cashier said it would be 5 minutes or so. After 10 minutes, I asked someone else and they said it would be 7-10 minutes. I did not receive my food until 11:15 and when I had gotten home the burger was dry and the bun was *burnt*. I guess those 40 minutes were just spent grilling a patty into a tough sponge. Don't come here unless you being drunk and eating bad food and/or wasting your money. read more

Best pizza in University Center and awesome place to sit down and relax. Staff is always so friendly and professional!

Ordered delivery for two pizzas and a side of mozzarella sticks. One large 16 inch bbq pizza and one regular 14 inch veg pizza. Received a wrong sized pie. Called the restaurant immediately to see if they could correct the mistake. Gentleman by the name of Valentino claimed to be the manager for "5yrs without a problem" cursed me out and hung up on me after I asked him for his name repeatedly and if he could correct the mistake. Contacted grubhub's customer care service and I was told by Grubhub the restaurant would not send the correct item and that at the moment they were not able to refund me at that I would be contacted by via email. My order was 59dollars. They took my money, got my order wrong, refused to correct their mistake, cursed at me, and hung up on me. I will be pursuing my refund. Allegro's you can expect to hear from in the immediate future. read more

Only giving Allegro's 2stars for the simple fact they stopped delivering pass 49th street in Southwest which is corny cause they use to back in like up to '12. Guess because it's rougher down towards this end they loss their heart to come pass 49th street. When they started that they even use to put you on hold and ask in the background "do we deliver there"? Come back and say "No". It's cool though cause I drive anywhere If the food is worth it but them they fell off anyway over the years rushing and trying to appeal to the University of Penn students. So I mean it is what it is but quality wise over the most recent years, they still ain't that great either and I know cause I use to order pickup like I said they lost their touch. read more

Louie is the best and the tomatoe pizza pies are amazing and better than the NJ shore and most places

Allegro Pizza is a pretty standard pizza shop. The pizza is heavy on the cheese... Maybe a little too heavy, but it's decent cheese. The crust isn't bad. Dine-in service is of the order at the counter variety. They make the pizzas fairly quickly, though. The place seems reasonably clean. And they have a decent six pack selection. It's a fairly standard college-campus pizza place. It's not the sort of place that you'd go out of your way to visit, but if you're in the area, it gets the job done. read more
