Having pasted this place a million times I would never have thought to go in... but then my husband raved about their Cheese-steak Pizza. I figured that if his office ordered from there, it was worth a shot... Wow! Best Cheese-steak Pizza I have ever had! I have only gotten take-out from here, but they have a great selection of steak types too. read more

Great they provide chips and a pickel. Too much chicken that was like a chicken cheese steak and not enough of the Cesar. Maybe something else will be better, but what I had i will not buy again. read more

As a pizza fanatic, I am always looking for the next best slice. Well let me tell you honey-this place has it. Their plain cheese pizza is hand-tossed, hot and delicious. They have different varieties such as taco pizza, buffalo chicken and barbecue chicken pizza, but I think the plain is the best. If you happen to be on lunch break and have a yen for pizza, stop by and give it a try. read more

As much as I LOVE their pizza, I am compelled to give only one star. Yes, their tomato pie with cheese is out of this world. But their service is DEPLORABLE. Not only, are they only open until 9pm (even on the weekends) but I have, on a number of occasions, called up to 15 minutes before 9pm and they've told me they are closed and refused to take my order. If you happen to be in the neighborhood and you're lucky enough for them to be open, stop in for a slice. Otherwise, it's not worth the ag. Unfortunately, they don't seem like the type of establishment that cares what people say about them on yelp, as they clearly don't give a shit about customer service. read more

Best pizza in city ... so glad I came inside and try out...you won't regret it ... staff is very nice and pleasant..

Woohoo!! I have found my favorite pizza outside of NY! Delicious cheese slices, nice crumbly sausage on the sausage slices, and AMAZING tomato pie! There's really not too much else to say about it except for that I always get pizza here when I'm wandering around Center City/Rittenhouse and I'm hungry (interestingly, whenever I'm near Dolce Carini I seem to get hungry...) read more

Ordered the Brooklyn pie and wings for delivery. The wings were burnt and some of the wings obviously were not even de-feathered properly!! Wtf?! The pie was ok. Not terrible, but not something that could be called "good" either. This is the first time I've ordered from here. Decided to try it out because of the good reviews it has. Don't know if my experience was just a rare bad one , but it was bad enough that I won't be giving it a second try. read more

Super sweet staff ran us over a yum cheese pizza just 40 minutes before closing when we figured out WE had messed up our online order. This place is just super sweet. read more

I have finally found my favorite pizza place! Grew up in NYC and moved to Texas in 1978...the land of Pizza Hut and Dominos.... Now I've been back here since Mar 2016 and have had a hard time finding pizza oven Pizza...until tonight! . Best pizza ever...thanks! read more

For some reason I like my pizza by the slice. It just tastes better reheated and for me to tackle a whole pie for delivery is just to much pizza and my better 1/2 isn't a huge pizza fan. They have abut 10 different choices when you walk in. I opted for bbq chicken and then a mushroom slice. Solid pizza here. I am old fashioned when it comes to pizza... Pizza is supposed to be pepperoni, mushroom, sausage etc... no fancy goat cheese and pistachio pizza, no snobbish white pie with feta and a cracked egg cooked in a special 1000 degree oven... Really. Keep it simple stupid. Dolce does that. read more

I am staying at a hotel and needed some dinner last night, but didn't feel like going out. The front desk gave me a few suggestions on pizza places that will deliver but the reviews weren't very good on here. I came across this place and checked out their menu. Their pizza selections are vast! I had a hard time choosing, but I ended up ordering a small buffalo chicken and two sodas. The man on the phone was very nice and said he'd be here in 35 minutes. Just 20 minutes later I got a call on my cell phone saying he was in the lobby! I was so thankful he brought me plates and napkins too! The pizza was amazing, I couldn't stop eating it until the whole thing was gone!!! Try this place out, you won't regret it! read more

It's a decent pizza place that offers fast delivery and take-out services. Unfortunately it closes at 9 PM (including weekends) when some people, and I'm not saying who, get that craving for some late night pizza. Ah well. Dolce also offers pizza by the slices, which works for me because I cannot finish a whole pie without help. In case you don't want pizza, the chicken tenders and fried zucchini were tasty...a bit greasy but not bad. read more

Good place to grab a slice. Consistently good and always has hit slices ready. Beware- this restaurant has super weird hours that don't correlate with Google or their own website. read more

the eggplant parm was pretty darn good - well cooked to me. That means the eggplant wasn't bitter or leathery. never disappointed.

Dolce is a great place and was one of my lunchtime staples when I worked at 20th and Market. Their cheesesteak pizza is incredible as is their buffalo and barbecue chicken pizzas. Come to think of it, I've never even tried their regular pizza. I guess thats reason enough to give it another try. They're pretty accommodating as well, the people are nice and they even make things that aren't on the menu. I requested a buffalo chicken salad and they made me a HUGE delicious salad for a pretty good price (however there were olives in this salad, for some unknown reason, eww) but I love that they made me something that wasn't on the menu. I'm sure there are plenty of options for good pizza in the city, but the gourmet menu, the nice people and the delicious food set Dolce apart. The only drawback is that their soda cups are extremely small. read more

We've ordered lunch from here a few times and all in all it's okay. Nothing over the top amazing, and definitely nothing bad. A decent place to order lunch from and the food is consistently good. read more

This was my second time here at Dolce Carini, the pizza was very tasty and there are plenty of cold beverages to choose from. The service is good too, they were very funny and polite to take my tray when I was done. I grabbed a menu when I left, I'll probably order delivery sometime. They're a member of the BBB, they have the stickers on their door, cool. I'll be back! read more

I love this place!! The staff is sooo incredibly friendly and the food is awesome!! Buffalo chicken cheesesteak is the absolute best!

Just get the Tomato Pie with Cheese. LIke others have said, it is incredible. w This is my go-to pizza delivery spot. Loses one star, cause their wings are terrible. Hopefully they fix that. read more

Their pizza is awesome. After eating NY pizza for 5 years, this is the closest you're going to come in Philadelphia. Their delivery service is extremely quick, and I always enjoy the pizza when it arrives. A weekly favorite. read more

Ordered delivery when I was in town for work. Fast delivery (Wednesday night). Tomato pie with sausage and mozzarella was a bit undercooked, as the crust couldn't stand on it's own. Fried zucchini were crispy, but tasteless. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Love all the different pizza slice options, which are very reasonably priced. They even have sandwich, pasta, and salad options. Employees have always been friendly and very efficient. One of my go-to lunch spots in center city. read more

Love the white pizza at this joint. Convenient when you need a pick me up slice to help you get through the week. Good size

Very good pizza. Nice thin crust that was crisp and hot. The right amount of cheese and flavorful toppings. Stopped in for lunch. They were busy but had plenty of people to keep things moving. I would go back. read more

I fell victim to the trap of "2 slices and drink for $5.75" once, and let's just say the deal wasn't enough to bring me back. There are better pizza places in the area and sure, the deal is pretty good, but more often then not, I'm willing to spend a little more for better quality. On the plus side, they have fairly large seating area which is nice for group lunches. I'm saying that Dolce is bad, because it's not. But in my opinion there are better pizza joints in the neighborhood that you should choose. read more

Solid tomato pies. A decent white pizza. Lots of great toppings. My fave place in Philly to order pizza. Nothing else around compares.

I've certainly had worse pizza, but I've also had much, much better pizza. For what it is, this pizza is overpriced; it should be a dollar for a slice of this kind of stuff. Sorry to say it... read more

Best pizza I've had in Philly, not excluding the fancy pizza spots across from el vez. Those two getting incredibly high ratings... I REALLY don't get it? 5 stars for burnt pizza with decent, yet forgettable service? Dolce Carini is the best I've had as of late, by faaaaar. read more

Great pizza slices and the chicken steak was so big.

Delivery took an hour and a half and my pizza was cold and SUPER soggy by the time it got to me. I'm bummed to say the least. I can't hardly eat it, and I'm not a picky eater. read more

I order grilled cheese with chicken noodle soup, now when I ordered this I figured that the grilled cheese would've been actually cooked and not just two pieces of bread soaked in butter with cheese slapped in the middle then thrown on the grill for 30 seconds at low, not to mention the fact the sandwich wasn't even cut in two. Along with that I ordered hot wings. Can you guess what I got?. Practically a teaspoon of sauce in the bottom of my pan with plain wings thrown on top. Not to mention the delivery man charged me for a bill that I payed online and clearly said on the receipt as I showed him. But him being in a hurry just kept saying cash, cash, cash everytime I would try to show him so eventually getting fed up I gave him the money anyway so I got double charged. Now as a person that also works in the food industry this is ridiculous and unacceptable and down right a disgusting meal. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SHIT HOLE! read more

Dolce Carini - This is supposed to be garlic bread. It looks like rat shit. - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Dolce Carini has pretty good food. It's on the upper end of the pizza spectrum but it isn't the kind of place you would go out of your way to find. If you are in the neighborhood and hungry for your standard pizza shop, Dolce Carini would do. read more

I am fortunate enough to live around the block from Dolce Carini. Best pizza in Philly in my opinion. I lived in NY my whole life and pizza is my favorite food. I was pleasantly surprised when I first had their pizza. Their cheesesteak pizza is phenomenal! Their chicken cutlet parm is really good too. If you are in the area, definitely stop in for a slice. read more

Great spot for a quick bite. Best to call ahead, because if you stop in for lunch and order something besides pizza, you will find yourself waiting outside for your food to get ready, there is simply not a lot of space for dining. The food itself is good, cheesesteaks are above average and pizza is better than most in the area. read more

Ordered (for delivery) the medium Veggie Delight and the Friday's special (Sausage, green pepper and onion sandwich + fries + soda). First time ordering. Food was mediocre. The sauce and cheese weren't bad but I wasn't really a fan of the regular crust. The sandwich quality was lower than that of the average food truck, in terms of bread and meat quality. Anyway this was probably my own fault for ordering this sandwich over a popular item. I also think that the pizza was grossly overpriced. The ingredients didn't taste like they were premium or anything out of the ordinary so why am I paying $19 for a medium pizza? (I only chose it because I thought the flavors would compensate, based on previous reviews, or that they were using nonstandard sizes). What really irked me was that they advertise fast delivery AND they told me the pizza would arrive in 35 minutes...yet it took exactly 1 hour and 15 minutes! I can understand that they might have been busy since it was a Friday night but would they not have adjusted for that in their estimate? To top it off they forgot to bring me my soda. So all in all not a great first impression. Don't think I'll be dining here again unless someone begs me to. read more

The food is decent and priced ok. The pizza can be extremely greasy.

Visiting the Philadelphia area is always a treat. Due to the 6 hour schlepp to this amazing city of brotherly love, our hunger pains warranted the least-preferred method of culinary experiences - DELIVERY. Philadelphia, with it's cornucopia of cultural possibilities, our options were reduced to scattered take-out menus and a near 'EENY MEENIE MINIE MOE' final decision. With five members to this cast of "Hungry's," Dolce Carini became the majority vote due to it's broader menu appeal. 40 minutes after we ordered, the doorbell rang and the bags were all unloaded and paid for. Without going into a thorough amount of detail, suffice it to say that I might have preferred eating the bags the food came in over what I ordered. Our collective choices were: A Tossed Salad, Margarita and a Veggie Delight Pizzas, 12 piece Boneless Buffalo "wings" (they were really McDonald sized nuggets) and a Turkey Club. The nuggets were soggy, as were both pizzas. Let's just put it this way, you'd find more crunch in a bowl of pudding than you would in either of the Dolce Carini Pizza crusts we ordered. Sadly, the seemingly impossible-to-ruin Turkey Club sandwich featured processed, turkey...the kind that makes you squeal, "WTF WAS THAT?" so because of that fact, the sandwich failed big-time. The winner (and this is only a guess since all of our appetites were broken by now) was most likely the salad since, really, how can you Fcuk up a salad? Maybe we should have seen how. Sorry, this spot gets our STAMP OF DENIAL and recommends that you bypass Carini veloce! read more

Coming from NY, I have high standards for pizza. I have found my go-to place in Philly, but I got a caviar coupon and this was one of the few pizza place options. I ordered a medium cheese pizza, onion rings and mozzarella sticks. The pizza had a ton of cheese on it and wasn't cooked enough, so the cheese was melted but not bubbly. The crust was basically tasteless. I ate a second slice when it was cold and it tasted a bit better. I asked for well done onion rings but instead got regular done-ness and the breading was falling off as I was eating them. The one good thing was the mozzarella sticks, but I'm assuming they aren't made in house. Maybe ordering slices there would be a better experience, but overall, I won't be ordering from here again.. Especially for the price ($27 after the $10 coupon). read more

I agree 100% with Alex -skip the pizza in favor of the tomato pie with cheese - it is great! the pizza is only ok.

I completely agree, the tomato pie with cheese is the way to go! There is a really nice balance between the cheese and sauce and it has nice chunks of tomato on the pizza as well. This pizza is even good the next day! There are very few good pizza places in the city, especially near Rittenhouse, but this place is now my favorite in the area! read more
