    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.

    Mushroom pizza, super yummy!

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    Nothing like a Dock Street party

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Buffalo wings
    Jen T.

    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!

    Mushroom pizza
    Reena D.

    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.

    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!

The first thing that stands out to me about Two Locals is the huge space with all kinds of amenities. Whether its a seat at the bar, grabbing a seat by a barrel, or grabbing a table for a group of any size; it has the perfect seating arrangement for you. While the brewery side only serves libations the space also features the Landing Kitchen serving all kinds of damn good food. Another plus is the huge variety of games that they have to play, including an ice breakers questions game that made for a good second date activity. The service at Two Locals is great and filled with bartenders who provide good brew suggestions. And I love that Two Locals is a brewery that goes beyond pouring IPAs while also pouring some damn good ones.. Favorite beers of mine from here include the Nubian brown ale, the Gaspar dark Mexican lager, the Riots smoked rauchbier, and the Foway farmhouse saison. For events outside of beer Two Locals features events like a comedy showcase, movie screenings, gospel karaoke, and then some. And starting in Apirl 3rd they'll also be partnering with UCity Square to have a pop-up beer garden in The Lawn.

Things to note: you have to "sign in" on your phone before you can enter. This causes a line on some busy nights - such as last night, their opening night at the Azalea garden. My partner had an issue because his phone wasn't loading and they would not let him in! Even after checking his ID. Luckily, he was able to borrow my phone to sign in. If they require sign in for entry, they should at least have an iPad (or paper) for those that are unable to do it on their phones. As far as beer selection, didn't LOVE the choices, they were okay, I thought I remembered some better options last year. I got the 2SP up and out, which is good, but didn't think the other options were great. I personally don't go to Parks on Tap for food, but if you would like food they have it. Our friends ordered the Mexican street corn dip, but they were not a fan of it. However, the atmosphere is wonderful, I love the aspect of getting out in a park in the city and having a few beers and relaxing! It's unique and fun. It's also great that it travels, I'm excited to try some of the other locations. They do have a good amount of seating options, but if you expect it to be crowded and want a place to sit, I recommend bringing a blanket or foldable chair.

The upstairs area has a chill vibe with some Mario-themed art as well as a TV. It seems that the kitchen is upstairs, so a lot of waiters were flying by out table to the staircase. Our waiter was pretty chill. Apparently an O's fan, he was excited to learn we're from Baltimore. Food was all fantastic. The style of fries isn't my preference, but they were decent. Other than that, I was blown away. Child #1 and Child #2 got some items from the Kids' menu - grilled cheese and cheeseburger. Bread and Butter appetizer. Is it expensive for just being bread and butter? Yes. Is it worth it? Also yes. The homemade bread is great, but combine it with honey butter with flaky salt, and it's incredible. Loads of reviews on Yelp talked about the sausage roll. GET IT. It's greasy and filling in all the right ways. Goes great with a beer. My wife got the burger and she found it to be very tasty. I got the Grilled Maitake Mushrooms dish and holy cow; it's perfect. Even if you're not a vegetarian (I'm not), you can appreciate this dish: crispy rice cake (not the dry kind from the store), tender baby bok choy, and of course the well-cooked mushrooms are tied together with black vinegar, garlic-whipped tofu (!), and a peanut sauce. A++ would absolutely get again. The food menu has some staples, but overall it does change nightly, so make sure you check it out before you come. Apparently, on Sundays, they do a different experimental flavor of wings. I was curious, but my stomach has only so much room, so I had to draw the line. There is a respectable drink menu. My wife got the blood orange mezcalita, which she liked, but thought the smoke flavor was more subtle than described. I got the Plum Fizz and would totally get it again. Pleasantly-sour with a nice fizz. It's a nice pub in a nice neighborhood of a major city - be prepared for prices to match. But it is absolutely worth it.
