Carbon Copy, 50th St, Philly. Spoiler alert! I'm a big fan of Carbon Copy! I've been to their Port Richmond location. I had the pierogies and 'Gully, ' their hazy beer. Both were very good. Great visit. On this night, we got a Pimevera pizza (the special) and 'Twice,' their dark beer. Twice is everything that the famous Irish dark beer is supposed to be. Creamy, light, and a pleasure to drink. Thank you, Carbon Copy, for 2 great nights!! read more

Alright I'm done with this spot. The pizza flavors are limited and there's better pizza in the neighborhood (Clarkville), the menu is basically pizza, tinned things, and little else, and the staff has gotten increasingly unfriendly. There's two guys behind the bar that I like - one is named Shep and the other one is taller and thin with dark hair and super nice but I don't know his name. Everyone else here is so blah and seems miserable. And they don't even have quizzo anymore. read more

Great pizza.... Delicious crust! The green salad is also great with the quinoa crunch sprinkles. I bring my own salad dressing because theirs is mediocre and tasteless! read more

Great pizza and delicious beer! As an IPA drinker, I really enjoyed the gully and took home a 4-pack. The wings were tasty and we enjoyed a simple pepperoni and cheese pizza. We were sad that the ice cream machine wasn't working when we visited and would like to return to try it! read more

We only had time for one beer here, but it was pretty good. The server was very friendly, the place looked nice with a lot of seating, and I was able to purchase a nice shirt. read more

Service was friendly, and the food came out in about 10 minutes. Good pizza with plenty of pepperoni, not too little or too much cheese and reasonable pricing. I only wish the cheese didn't slide off so much, even after letting it cool for a while, but it was still tasty! The mixed green salad was also enjoyable, especially with the seasoned quinoa topping, and the portion was generous. The pizza tasted even better reheated the next day. read more

We got the special pizza of the day which was a vodka margherita pizza. The sauce was delicious! The pizza took about 30 minutes or longer to come out, though. Service was good. read more

Really yummy wings & pizza, I love the wine but they also have a wide range of beers on tap--Gully (IPA) is my favorite, but their Pilsner is also delicious. Highly recommend for lunch or dinner in West Philly. read more

I love the pizza! Ordered from the Western 'burbs on a Saturday before 5pm. Selected a cheese and a pepperoni for pu. Ready in 35 mins and notified by text. Cool neighborhood south of University City. I was lucky enough to pull a spot right out front but can see double parking for pu is a thing too. The pizzas truly are phenomenal. Thin, well done crust with occasional char. The cheese is a mix of mozzarella and maybe pecorino giving it a unique and delicious flavor. The pepperoni are pucks of cupping goodness, slightly thick and very flavorful. Great pizza read more

The ambience was quite fun in an old fire station. Unfortunately, the service was rushed, and thus we ordered a pizza that was rather inedible. Avoid the Rosso pizza. We each had one slice and then took the pizza away and gave it to a homeless man. read more

Awesome food and service . A place to visit if you're in Philly on the side of town. Being from DE I'll be back soon

I finally made it to Carbon Copy after Dock St Brewery departed! The layout is still the same ..the beer is different but good! I enjoyed the Gully IPA! I had the opportunity to taste the pizza and wings and they were ok..nothing special! The vibe of Carbon Copy still had the energy that made Dock St a hit...it's the collection of neighborhood and the folks that are patrons! If I am in the area..would like to try more samples of the beer! read more

This is a new restaurant that I was really excited to visit, I saw it on a local Philadelphia News Station. I was very familiar with the location as a restaurant and bar filled the same space before Covid. Because I know parking comes at a Premium. I made sure to arrive early. Once inside, I realized that it may not be such a new place. After viewing the menu, eating the food. It's clearly nothing new, nothing to see here I'm going to keep it moving.! Is the same overpriced dull food and not so special beer in a extremely overly gentrified neighborhood. With the demographics, change, restaurants or people who make arts and crafts, try to make it out what they're pushing to be the new thing by throwing expensive prices on junk. read more

I was so disappointed when I heard Dock street was closing this location. I spent many nights there with a cheeseburger pizza shooting the shit with a pack of friends. Well I'm happy to report that I don't think CC changed anything. I even asked if they still had the same chef. We were told they didn't. The pizza is still awesome and my friends were happy with the beer selection. So CC doesn't miss a beat. If you loved Dock Street you'll still feel at home here. read more

Carbon Copy - Nothing like a Dock Street party - Breweries Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Came here with a few friends on a Friday evening around 5:30pm and we were lucky enough to be seated right away! I got a beer - the Whir (Belgian witbier) which was nothing outstanding but solid. We split two apps - the chips and onion dip and the charred cauliflower (with chili butter, jalapeño, rosemary, almond). Both were super delicious! For pizzas, we split the curry squash (cream, mozzarella, butternut squash, sunchoke, curry oil, tomato chutney, basil, cilantro, parmigiano reggiano) and cheese (red sauce, pecorino romano, mozzarella, basil, parmigiano reggiano) since we wanted one white sauce and one red sauce. The curry squash in particular was delicious - such an amazing combination of flavors. Great spot just off Baltimore Ave to check out if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Bright, inviting, and local ! Carbon Copy is the newest brewpub in West Philadelphia, taking up the historic firehouse at the corner of 50th and Baltimore Avenue, which also use to house Dock Street West. A winery/brewery combo with food; I mean come on !!! Although new to the neighborhood, the co-owners bring over 20+ years of industry experience to the table. The beer variety is a host of consumer friendly/traditional style beer ; meaning there is something for everyone. And just in case beer isn't your thing, Carbon Copy also makes wine! ( The cab franc is my personal favorite) Beer is the namesake , but food is the showstopper! What I ordered: Pork Belly 8/10 Bite sized and fried to perfection. Served with a steamed cabbage sauced in a mustard au jus! Charred Cauliflower 9/10 This dish packs some heat! Served with with a chili butter and sliced pickled jalapeño. Pepperoni Pizza 7.5/10 Tons of pep, and overall good flavor, but did not pass the fold test. Most likely too much red sauce. But the dough is pillowy and better than a few other brick oven pizza spots I've had in Philly. Mushroom Pizza 8.5/10 Creamy, herby and earthy! Same dough mentioned in the above, just yum. Fold test approved! Welcome to the neighborhood, Carbon Copy! read more

Neighborhood regular at Dock Street. Tried Carbon Copy 3 times now - 3 strikes and out. After a mediocre caesar salad, then a lackluster pizza the biggest crime of all on our last visit: they were out of red wine? On a weekend, to run out of wine? Yes, beer is the focus but a large part of the population doesn't drink beer. Perhaps it's because they only offer two selections, that's right, only two. One strange tasting white & one unremarkable red. Not a Dry Prosecco or crisp Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel or Rosé. Not even a light body Pinot Noir. Wow, shortsighted to exclude the non-beer drinkers. Final straw, we strolled the few blocks to Carbon Copy on a hot summer Friday night for a soft serve ice cream, yet, bummer, they ran out of ice cream. ??? And it can't be explained away by suggesting it's homemade. Gotta wonder, who is in charge of purchasing and who chooses the drink selection? read more

Such a cute building with yummy food. Especially that mushroom pizza--that crust was so crisp and delicious, with all these delectable little bubbles. And they did not skimp on the mushrooms, it was totally covered. Flavor was great, too! But the salad...it was a bit weird. Absolutely doused in furikake, which did not complement the pizza at all. And the wings were juicy but the buffalo sauce was thick and too salty. Pretty good, but not great. Service was fast and friendly, though. I would be back for pizza. Oh, and my husband said the hard cider he had was amazing, so maybe try that if you like cider! read more

Pleasantly surprised. This renovated firehouse turned brewery/restaurant was not what I was expecting. Nice curb appeal, not a big space but enough table and bar seating, brick oven, and very clean and bright space. I was expecting a darker look inside. I'm not a big fan of beets, but I love burrata. The beet and burrata salad was very good and a good size to share. Love the gold utensils, feels fancy. The mushroom pizza was absolutely terrific! The flavor was spot on, loved it! I want to try the other flavors, especially the squash one, so guess I'll have to go back. They were sold out of the beer I wanted so I went with second choice. The Whir is very good and I forget what my husband was drinking but that was tasty too. Hope that soft serve machine is working next time. Definitely worth the visit. read more

Great find! Our friends treated us to dinner here and it was a great spot for me to calm my nerves before doing some public speaking haha. Service was great. Beer was good (although I'll have to come back to try more since I had to limit myself!). Their beets and Burrata was so so good as well as their mushroom pizza. The the tinned fish is great for those who's trying to eat lighter. thanks for a great meal! read more

Best pizza in the city, better than some that are ranked best in the country. I venture here from the burbs weekly, consistent quality and service. This is a special place. Keep it up! read more

I forgot to leave a favorable review even though I went 2 months ago I still remember loving this place. It's nestled in this very university suburb where parking was super easy. Service was quick and ambiance matched the vibe well. The beer was very good! The Bindle, Kin, and their wines were highlights! The food also crushes, the Artichoke hearts are a very very healthy portion, like enough for 4 people. The olives also kick ass. read more

Carbon Copy We had heard this had newly opened place and decided to go here with 3 others on a Sunday night (holiday long weekend) based on high praise from another friend. I don't think I'll be going back soon due to the price point and wait time, but I thought the pizzas were delicious. I also appreciated the plethora of vegetarian/vegan options represented in both the snacks and pizza sections. Ambiance: Walking in, there is a lively vibe with more straightforward and simpler, modern decorations blending a pizzeria/brewery environment. You can see parts of the brewery equipment through giant windows behind long counter, and it has an overall laid-back atmosphere. Food: We ordered a snack and two pizzas for our group of 4. - Charred cauliflower: Based on the images I had seen on Yelp, I had anticipated this to be a crispier, golden cauliflower dish. However, it came out as a more boiled cauliflower with some char to it, which was still decent, but a bit underwhelming. However, I did enjoy the accompanying tasty chili butter, and the chopped almonds were a pleasantly surprising addition with their crunch factor. - Cheese pizza: Solid pizza. Came out piping hot. I appreciated the fresh sharpness of the pecorino romano shining alongside the salty, savory parmesan reggiano here. - Mushroom pizza: A+. Delicious. Savory. Umami bomb. I loved the choice of the mushrooms in this dish (maitake, shiitake, cremini) with the two sharp cheeses. The first bite into this crispy, warm slice was an immediate explosion of intense flavors, that ended all too soon by my last bite that I devoured. Service: No complaints about the server, but the wait for pizza was incredibly long. It felt that it must have been 40 minutes before the first pizza came out, and then another 10-20 minutes for the second pizza. I wasn't anticipating a slow 3-course meal at this brewery/pizzeria when walking in. While I would give the mushroom pizza a 5/5, I think my experience had to be a 3/5 due to a mix of the cost and wait times. We ended up spending about $16-$17/person, and some of us still left a bit hungry, and this felt unreasonable to me. The cauliflower snack portion size felt rather small for the price, and the pizzas are not filling enough for the cost; I think a possibly thicker crust to the pizzas would honestly help a lot. Thus, I settled for a 4/5. read more

We have been coming here since it used to be Dock Street West, which we were bummed when we heard was closing. But when Carbon Copy took over, they did not miss a beat. It is just as good if not better! Beers never miss and always excellent pizza, wings, and service. I wish we lived closer so we can come more often, if you're in West Philly this place is a must-go! read more

Great service, food, and beer! The mushroom pizza is loaded with a lot of mushrooms, and the rossa pie has a lot of tomato sauce and is perfect for people who like tomato pies. Also tried the fried artichokes and they were great--crispy and salty and came with a good dipping sauce. The beers are also great, with plenty of different styles to choose from. Definitely recommend for a night out! read more

Wonderful pizza good beer good service brought friends from out of town everyone had a good time

Had the rosso (sauce only, no cheese) and a Dornick cider. Sauce is zippy, not sweet, very tomato-y. Crust is THIN but supports itself, incredibly light with a great crunch helped by the corn meal on the underside. The garlic is prominent. With so much garlic, the basil (which looks great) is a bit lost. Not sure what the bread crumb does. I am trying to imagine the pie without it. Maybe it is a thickener for the sauce or contributes a bit to the mouth feel? The cider was a perfect complement, clean with just a hint of sweetness. The samosa and mushroom pies look amazing. Next time? Same with the soft- serve topped with blood-orangecolive oil and sea salt. read more

On the advice of a friend, I got the Samosa pizza. The crust and flavors are very good, especially the curry oil. However, the ease of eating could be improved if they just cut the potatoes up a little bit more. I ended up squishing them with my fingertips to spread around in smaller chunks, which otherwise were a few and far between, and weighed down each slice so that it had to be a 2-handed operation. I also got the salad with quinoa crunch, which was very fresh, and the side dressing was also thick and flavorful, but they mixed in so much seasoning (I wanna say furikake? Something seaweed-like) that it was extremely salty. I was at home and ended up mixing in 100% more greens and some additional vegetables to try to spread out the saltines. I think it ruined the salad to have such a strong seaweed flavor. I definitely could not have muscled through it as-is, it woulda gone in the trash if I couldn't have doctored it up. You got a good thing going, but Less is More, Carbon Copy! read more

Carbon Copy - a plate of salad on a table - Breweries Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I don't think the owners understand the audience of who they are servicing. Was disappointed to see that a mushroom pizza, while tasty wasn't worth $25, especially because it wasn't huge. Also, menu needs to be updated. Items marked vegan weren't or weren't in stock. Also, there are not sprinkle toppings in shakers. I couldn't even get black pepper. They did have parm that was lactose free. I think it's a better idea to go to Clarkville a few blocks up on Baltimore Ave, honestly. You essentially get similar items for less plus you don't have to question the menu options in the event that a server doesn't notify that a change was made. read more

Very casual spot for beer and pizza - I came in on a Friday evening really loved the experience! Atmosphere: The vibe was very relaxed and casual. The service was amazing and our pizza came out probably within 10-15 minutes. Food: There wasn't anything particularly unique about the pizza, but their beer options were extensive - I would definitely come back to try other beers here. Overall: 4/5 - I loved getting beer and pizza here, and will definitely come back! I thought the prices were incredibly reasonable too! read more

I wish I took more pictures of the food! Their food options are amazing. My partner and I enjoyed ciders with the chips and dip, the brussels sprouts & pork app, and a pepperoni pizza. Whatever they do with the Brussels spouts and pork is divine! 10/10 it slaps. Also, Alicia was our server and we couldn't have been happier with the service and the scene. read more

Best Pilsner and Helles in west Philly, and other great beers for all tastes. Fantastic pizza as well, nice crispy crust. Favorite spot!

Great beers and pizza. Come here often and its such a great place. Hooray for Carbon Copy!

Really good service, beer and food! I'm not vegan, but my friend is, so we ordered a vegan cheese pizza. It was actually really good! We also tried the vegan soft serve, which was also surprisingly similar to typical soft serve. The beer selection is awesome, and the servers were able to give good recommendations based on our tastes. I definitely want to return here at some point! read more

Yes to this place. One hundred percent yes. I loved Dock Street. I have so many memories of after-school-dinners with my kids, after work hang out with friends, and even a "come be sad with us" when Donald Trump won the presidency. So when they announced they were closing it bummed me out. But when I walked into Carbon Copy tonight I was pleased. Even though I loved Dock Street, the aesthetic was a bit drab. Cave-like. This place is bright, green and inviting. I loved that it felt fresh. But the important part is the food! Wow! It did not at all disappoint. We started with the special for appetizers which were the meatballs. PACKED with flavor. And the red sauce was delicious! The mushroom pizza was the best pizza I've had in a while. The pecorino Romano hit just right with the shitaki and cremini mushrooms with the best sturdy, charred crust. I didn't plan on finishing it... but I couldn't help it. So good! I indulged in the Gully. A citrusy, white wine-esque (their description) IPA and it was so good I didn't veer off to try another. The service was excellent (we sat at the bar) and we were more than taken care of. Welcome to the neighborhood, Carbon Copy! I plan on getting to know you well! read more
