Enjay's Pizza - Large half pepperoni half Sausage and Pepper Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

What a shame. I used to go here years ago and absolutely loved it. Back then it was ran by the incredible folks at Pitrucos. Something has clearly changed. Despite being on the menu outside , our waitress had no idea about the cauliflower sandwich- in fact she looked at us like we were insane and said we have never had that. pizza quality had gone from amazing to poor. I don't know what happened but I can't imagine Pitrucos is still involved . They have gone back to being a great college bar with bad food. read more

We ordered two pizzas and wings. Crust/toppings on pizza was good and wings were great. I also REALLY appreciated that nothing was too salty. This is rare. Will be ordering from them again. read more

If you're looking for New York style pizza, this place has it, grease and floppiness and all (those are good things, by the way). If you get a large and have trouble eating the giant slices, try folding them over! They take custom orders (e.g. half and half) and season the pizzas well such that even the plain hits the spot, though I would love to have even more basil. The pizza's not cheap so it may not be an efficient way of feeding a crowd, but they would work great for feeding a pair or small group. As someone who grew up in New Jersey (perhaps the origin of the name Enjay's??), it's great to have this place close by for when I crave the stuff from local pizzerias back home. Support the business by calling directly to pick up rather than using Grubhub, but note that it'll be cash-only. read more

Enjay's Pizza - Large pizza, half plain and half pepperoni and sausage - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We had no idea this was located inside Smokey Joe's, the infamous Penn bar! The walls are filled with photos of Penn athletes and there are stained glass lights with the Penn logo. My husband is an alum and my daughter attends so I've been hearing about this bar for years - it lived up to the hype. The pizza was good (had a supreme) as was the pretzel appetizer. At 10 pm anyone under 21 is kicked out and it turns into a classic college bar. For a short time I felt like a college kid again. Our waiter was named Halo and he was awesome - friendly and so funny. Will definitely go back read more

I think that my pizza was missing a small sliver. Taste test? Pizza tasted good. A little stingy on the pepperoni. Oil tasted like vegetable oil. Should use extra virgin olive oil. Makes me question the quality of ingredients. read more

Enjay's Pizza - Missing piece? What happened? - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Enjays is always a good choice. Always. I always get the half mushroom and onion, and half supreme and it's BOMB! Easily one of my top 3 favorite pizza spots in Philly! The wings are bomb too. read more

Finally. After over two years in Philadelphia, I finally found a pizza that stacks up to NYC pizza. I had pretty much given up - don't get me wrong, there's decent pizza to be found in Philly, and I still love Taconneli's, but finding a New York-style pie done right seemed to be a lost cause. Until last night. The reviews and photos of pizzas from Enjay's were intriguing enough to make it our pick for this week's takeout. The prices are a bit higher than the norm, but what would you expect from a pizza place off the Penn campus? But also, IMHO, totally worth it. After picking up our pie we had a 15 minute walk home, but I had to open the box to get a whiff of the fresh out of the oven pizza, and that was the first good sign - total nostalgia hit to the beloved Brooklyn pizza of my childhood. For the best experience, you really need to eat the pizza on the spot, but I treasure my routine too much to sacrifice it to a slight improvement in taste, so I didn't get to try it until we got home. Reheated, it was still pretty awesome- the crust is VERY thin, and the cheese is VERY ample. Two of the smallest slices from the large pie and I was definitely done for the night. The cheese is what most reminds me of New York - the mozzarella and seasoning blend were perfect. The tomato sauce was pretty great too, and while the crust was a little thinner than I'd prefer, just be sure to reheat it in the oven to get it crispy, or if you're doing things the right way (which I wasn't) it should work pretty great if eaten on the spot. The one aspect of the experience that wasn't worth it was the garlic knots. They were mediocre, but really, just dont bother. $18 for a large plain pie? Worth it? $4 for three garlic knots? Please, the good places in Brooklyn will give you a half dozen for that price and they'll be a lot better, too. But they weren't disappointing enough to detract from a 5-star review. My mission to find good NYC-style pizza in Philadelphia has finally been achieved! read more

The place itself is a pretty cool place in a pretty cool setting. The inside of the building is pretty cool too with pictures all over. I asked what is better burger or pizza? She said both. Typical answer. However when pushed came to shove she said pizza and I am glad she did. I had a supreme small pizza for myself. I was hungry and it filled me right up. It was great. I would definitely come back again. Price was little over 20 dollars with the tip. read more

Seriously brilliant food! Look, if you want pizza that's mediocre, just to soak up your booze; this may not be for you. If you want fabulous pizza, that has all the hallmarks of a homemade pizza; this is it! I am 55 years old, and have been living in Philly for 35 of them. Obviously I have ordered some pizza, in that time. As of now, this is the only place I'll order from again, ever. Where have you been all my life?! Muwah! Oh, I'd say more and add pics, but I''m about to order. Cheers. read more

Enjay's Pizza you are most certainly awesome, I had a spectacular experience here today. Friendly service, welcoming atmosphere. Every single menu item that we purchased was very fresh and flavorful.

Enjay's Pizza you are absolutely incredible, I had an incredible experience here today. The menu is impressive, I was overwhelmed with the choices. Everything we bought was excellent and the menu itself was to die for. Awesome. Great service and staff. Bottom line: Enjay's Pizza = awesome. read more

Well wow. That mushroom and onion pizza was calling my name -- and it is SO good. They give you a generous amount of mushroom, the caramelized onions are very flavorful, the béchamel was just enough to give it an extra richness. The dough is so nice and chewy.. I have no complaints about this pizza at all. It's a definite winner. Better than some I've had in center city that claim to be the best. Enjay's is all that and more flavorwise, without the fancy-pants stigma. The wings were a bit salty , but fried well -- I wanted more of a flavor profile other than salt -- but they were pretty good. I'd love some garlic/salt/pepper flake rub may be what I'm going for The Enjays fries were good -- but they were soggy when they got to me by delivery. Maybe that's something you just can't deliver. I like the hot peppers -- but soggy fries make me sad.. thus the 4 star review. read more

What a fantastic find Enjay's Pizza is. Wonderful energy across the board. Every single menu item that we have purchased was very fresh and flavorful. The team members are all very nice and helpful. I had a wonderful experience here at Enjay's Pizza. read more

Pizza is awesome!! I can't vouch for the other food yet but the pizza is official. I'm concerned about consistency because some of the pictures on here are not nearly as seductive as the 2 back to back pies from heaven I received from them. Hope they keep it up. read more

Straight five stars and nothing less for this gem in the neighborhood. We ordered half n half of spicy tomato and mushroom with caramelized onions pizza and it was out of the world.. No kidding but one of the best pizza I ever had. We went to DC and had pizza for '& Pizza' we gave it 5 stars but now after this pizza that is on #2. I highly recommend this place for the amazingly delicious pizza.Enjoy!!!! read more

Just arrived in Philly from Rochester NY and needed a place to eat. This place (found through yelp) was a two blocks away. Had great reviews and I concur. My 17 yr old ordered a pizza with meatballs. Tender meat balls with a sausage meat blend. My 15 yr old wanted just cheese and my wife and I ordered the mushroom and onion with pepperoni. Béchamel, mushrooms (fine cut creminis & maitakes) and caramelized onions. Delicious! It just worked. The pizza is fairly thin and tastes like it was cooked on a stone. The dough and crust is fantastic!! I included photo of the the shroom, onion, pepperoni pizza. Photo was with a flash (sorry about that). Looking foreword to trying again before I head home. Be warned, they combined with Smokey Joes and we initially walked passed the place. Nice dark woody atmosphere. read more

So, I placed the order for a SMALL pizza, medium spicy wings and their "Enjay's fries". I asked how many a small pizza served the guy said 6 ppl! I know, crazy. Then I asked the total and he said $31! I said "$31 for a small pizza, wings and fries?" He said, "yes".‍ I said "ok how long?" He said "7 minutes" I said, "7 minutes for all that?" Again he said, "yes". I said, " I hope it's good" he said ," ok". Lol.I got there and the front of the shop looks like a bar so I called and he said yes it's there I ask a waitress and she tells me where it's located. When I got there and see the huge box I think, no way that's a small but whatever, I'm hungry. I get home 6 minutes later and take pics for this review FIRST because if you read my other reviews you know sometimes I just dig in and forget. Well the pizza is cold. Yes, cold which is odd because it was just made right? Ok. Anyway, the wings are hot and the fries are not at all like they're described on the menu. They're super soft and limp. Surprisingly, the pizza isn't bad, just cold. I have had plenty of cold pizzas, I am college educated so I've eaten my fair share of cold pizza. I could see me trying something else maybe during the day. I did ask 2 patrons that were dining in near the front door and an open window how they like their pizza and they said " it's so hot they can't really eat it yet" I told them "mine was ready in 7 minutes" , they said " well we definitely waited longer than 7 minutes. " Now I know why. ‍ read more

I can't believe this place doesn't have more reviews! When I heard about the collaboration of Enjay's & Smokey Joe's I couldn't wait to try it out!!! We got the fries, a meatball sub & a small plain cheese pizza to share. Everything hit the spot. The fries had parmesan & peppers mixed with them & we didn't realize the sub ALSO came with fries... We almost wished the plain fries that came with the sub were made up like the parm & pepper fries because they were THAT good! Having had Pitruco pizza before I knew the pizza would be heavenly & it definitely met my expectations! I have never been to Smokey Joe's, even after having been at Penn for three years... I really liked the atmosphere... It wasn't crowded (around 8 on a Saturday night), but I'm sure that will change when the amazingness of the Enjay's collaboration is discovered. The price is definitely right. If you're looking for well-made bar food (really it's better than bar food) & some lagers, this is the place to be. We will absolutely be back! read more

This place has been around forever, with some of the current professors being patrons at a time when they were students themselves. Cool interior. Friendly staff. It's a gem most of the younger crowd doesn't frequent, perhaps opting for the trendier venues. Great place for good pizza and fried chicken. Oldies on the speakers perfect for us older crowd. read more

The pizza deserves 5 stars. It's the best pizza I've had in Philly. It took us a while to figure out where Enjay's was, though. Enjay's is less a location than a name for the food inside the bar Smokey Joe's, which is extremely confusing. Everything was pointing us to Smokey Joe's. We finally asked the bartender and he told us we were in the right place, as in, inside Smokey Joe's, and if we ordered food we'd be eating at Enjay's. This is needlessly confusing. And I wonder how often this problem arises. If they want to have the dual name thing, maybe better signage outside would help. read more

I've been back in Philadelphia for a year and a half now and I've been searching for a place that delivers good pizza and wings and let me tell you ENJAYS is the only I'll EVER order from again QUALITY FOOD YO!!!!!!! I ordered a half plain half pepperoni I must say they messed it up it came all pepperoni but it was so good I couldn't be mad about it....fresh basil oregano and mozzarella wow and the wings to my surprise was tossed with green peppers fantastic if anyone knows me I'm a picky ass pizza eater enjays I salute you!!!! read more

I stopped here for a pizza to go, and had a draft while I was waiting. The beer was cold, and the pizza was OK, the bottom crust was a little burned, which I personally don't like. Other than that, it was good read more

Didn't expect it but, Enjay's Pizza was truly exceptional. Friendly atmosphere, great service and delicious menu items. Every single thing that I have actually tried has been rather delicious. The crew was really friendly and service is awesome. Enjay's Pizza - It is a unique and wonderful experience. read more

Best pizza in West Philly, hands down. Zavino might top them in terms of quality, but you're gonna pay a lot more. They are neck and neck with Dock Street, but Enjay's inches ahead due to their portions. Sure, you're gonna pay more than you're average college pizza joint, but might as well spend the extra money to support some great, local pizza. read more

So, there is this divey Penn bar called Smokey Joe's, which I used to think was a BBQ place. Maybe they used to have BBQ food, but I am not one to know. But on this particular day I was in search for a place where the pizza was good and it was sit down style. I have a good delivery place, but it's not a table service type of joint. So, I came across Enjay's Pizza. Here's the thing, it's called Enjay's because it started out as a food truck by this name. Somewhere, the Enjay guy and Smokey Joe's had a beer (my imagination), and Enjay said, "Dude, it would be awesome if I could have your kitchen to make my pizza in. I am tired of working in a truck." And, Smokey replied, "Well, our food sucks, it's all yours." But Enjay was not ready to give up his name, so you go to Smokey Joe's, but Enjay wants you know, it's his darn pizza. Well, good for Enjay for making sure to get credit where credit is due. The silver lining in this divey bar is Enjay's Pizza! It's some good stuff! Seriously, if I were still a college student, I might live inside this place. I love pizza. And, I used to love beer. But I am an old dude with a family who more likes beer these days. But I still love pizza! read more

When I started grad school at Penn 4 years ago, I never thought I would be cursing the days and hours that I couldn't get food at Smokey Joes. Now I curse Monday nights and long afternoons because it seems like that's always when the thought of Enjay's pizza creeps into my head. These guys know bread, which is absolutely the first prerequisite for amazing pizza. I haven't had better in Philly. The tomato sauce is bright and fresh, and the toppings are all well though-out. Also, it's totally student-budget-friendly. I really hope they are there to stay. read more

Pizza was Simple ingredients and toppings but the crust was scrumptious, the serving sizes were large -- what more could I have asked for? Also good atmosphere with people at the bar in other half of Smoke's so it's a relaxing and easy-going atmosphere. Beer and pizza--what more could you ask for read more

I love Enjay's pizza. I USED to love their meatball hoagie more. I travel a lot for work and would bring a hoagie on the plane with me to have once I landed. NO LONGER! At some point in the last few months, they've switched breads. WHY?! WHY FORESAKE ME AND MY MEATBALL HOAGIE? Instead of a good, delicious, hoagie roll, I find myself begrudgingly biting into a toasted sesame seed hamburger bun. A sandwich is defined first and foremost by its bread. Bring back the bread, Enjay. Bring it back. Please. read more

Absolutely sublime pizza. Best in West Philly as far as I am concerned. The dough is PHENOMENAL. The cheese is heaven. And the sauce is love. read more

Not good! Got a large pepperoni that was tasteless. An unfavorable welcome to the Philly pizza scene. Would not return

I've been looking forward to trying Enjay's Pizza, as I've tried the pizza from their truck, Pitruco and loved it. We went for dinner on Friday night and had an enjoyable experience for the most part. We ordered: -Sweet-Sour Shallot Glaze Wings -Fried Cauliflower Hoagie -Spicy PIzza I'm not the biggest wings fan, but these wings were enjoyable. The glaze was nice and not overwhelmingly spicy but still plenty flavorful from the sweet-sour glaze. The portion was a decent size. I've heard great things about the Fried Cauliflower Hoagie, and it didn't disappoint. The crispy cauliflower in the caper-raisin sauce is really delicious. The pickled red onions adds a nice bright, acidic note and rounds out the sandwich. We may have ordered wrong, but the spicy pizza was just ok. The crust, as always, was great. The toppings were kind of underwhelming, but that may be a result of what we ordered. Service was relaxed and casual, kind of fitting the environment. read more

I've gotten food from Enjay's twice. The first time I got a meatball sandwich -- I thought it was great. The bread, which must have been made from their pizza dough and cooked in the pizza open because it was oh so delicious and crispy on the outside and nice and bready in the inside, was amazing. Just for that I wanted to come back asap. The meatballs themselves were fine, but generally a very good tasty sandwich (although the fries they came with tasted like they'd been sitting around for awhile). That was back in the fall. I finally got around to going back again last week-- I ordered the chicken cutlet sandwich to go this time. It was literally THE GREASIEST thing I've ever eaten. I was so, unbelievably disappointed. The pancetta and radicchio jam was really delicious. But the chicken cutlet were thin, way-over fried cutlets, and it was just dripping with grease. I literally was squeezing my sandwich together and watching oil ooze out. Every bite was like a mouthful of oil. Just not pleasant. Again, I was really disappointed because I could tell that it had the makings of a tasty sandwich but was just poorly executed. And as far as I could tell... the bread was just normal bread? Did they stop cooking the bread from pizza dough (which was mentioned in zagat philly's review?)-- in any case it wasn't as delicious as the first time. But at least the fries were much better this time. I don't know. I love the idea of Pitruco folks at Smokey's and I want to try their pizza... but I may be a little wary of the food now, and that chicken cutlet... not again. read more

I've come twice. The first time I had a sausage and pepper with no cheese (reason being, lactose intolerance.) They were completely obliging, and it was delicious. Crunchy, spicy, meaty. Yum. The second time I came I threw caution to the wind, and sampled the meatball sandwich. Brilliant decision really. The bread is homemade, and deliciously crunchy. The meatballs were excellent. Don't ask, but I'd have to guess there's veal in there. The portions are generous too. I'd go back in a sec, and I will! read more

So.... No words to say about this place. Scrumptious, delectable, flavorsome, Fantastic, phenomenal... And what else. Before leaving Philly me and my wife decided to visit this place after hearing a lot about this place. Hidden inside Smokey Joe's, the atmosphere was nice and calm with dim lights and music and nice polite staff, on a Monday night Now coming to the food, we ordered Enjay's rosemary fries and half n half spice tomato pizza and mushroom and onion pizza. The fries were nice and presentable, with bell peppers and pickles (could not make out in din lights) served with aoili. But what to say about the pizza!!! pizza just activated all my taste buds. Even after two hours i could feel the taste of the pizza in my mouth. Crust- thin, fresh and crispy. Sauces and toppings amazing. I could not judge which pizza was more better out of the two. Highly recommended place and i would love to come back to this place again and again. In the end, the best pizza i have ever had. And wish i could rate it more than five stars. read more

The pizza was good but it's small for the price and I don't want my crust burnt to the point I can't eat it. Delivery driver was sitting in his car when he called to say he was here and then waited for us to go out to him. Point of delivery is to the door, not for me to come out to the street. read more

What a delightful find! I got two smalls delivered on a Friday night: the sausage and pepper and the mushroom and onion. Delivered within half an hour, arrived warm enough but not piping hot. Delicious flavors for both, and a great, chewy crust. Only complaint was how thin the pizzas were in the middle, to the point of soggy. However the flavors were so good this will definitely become my regular go-to for a tasty, slightly fancier-than-normal pie. read more

If it wasn't for Yelp I would have never stumbled upon Enjay's. Pizza is one of my favorite foods and I am always searching to be impressed by food in general. And the pizza at Enjay's delivered in a big way!! The crust was top quality and cooked perfectly ,light on the sauce and the cheese was bursting with flavor. One of the best pizzas I've ever had including Philly, NY, NJ and DE spots. Don't be fooled by the local bar atmosphere, get yourself some pizza and leave satisfied. read more

I've had Enjay's twice, once dining in and once for delivery, two very different experiences. When I ate at the restaurant the pizza was phenomenal, and I highly recommend it. I do not recommend getting delivery however. I was hoping it would be just as good but I was disappointed. I ordered a half and half pizza, and they skimped on the toppings, leaving a good part of the pie without (but you still pay full price). Maybe it's different if you order a pie one style? I also ordered garlic knots (you get 3), and ordered medium wings which were actually very hot, and they charge for ranch. I wound up overall disappointed by the mediocre delivery, you're better off ordering from Colonial or Zesto's. read more
