Fast service on some amazing pizza. The grandma pie, while pricey, is unrivaled - a sesame-supported crust makes this massive pie hearty enough to support the decadent toppings. I'm obsessed with their red-less pepperoni pie, spicy w/ jalapeños and hot honey, perfectly anointed with ricotta. Pro tip - take it to go and grab a seat at Fat Lady Brewing across the street for a local beer! read more

Was finally able to make it into Pizza Jawn to see what the hype is about. Wasn't disappointed. I think this is genuinely some of the best pizza in the city. This spot has a wide variety of pizzas from Grandma to Detroit style to "Round". I sampled a a couple but they were out of their Detroit style. My favorite was the Grandma style. Crust was super interesting, sauce had a great garlic twang nice and cheesy. Also reheats well in the air fryer/oven. The young man at the register was fun to talk to. Great staff. read more

Pizza Jawn - Every cheesesteak should look and taste like this! - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Cute little pizza spot right off Main Street! Staff was kind and professional which was cool to see because the guy at the register had to be no older than 16-18 so shoutout to him! He suggested that I try the grandma pizza for my first time which has sesame seeds on the bottom of the crust and has a thick square cut to it. I enjoyed it.. and not gonna lie it kind of tasted like popcorn LOL maybe the buttery dough with the sesame seeds was what gave off that flavor. Anywho, I think I'm going to try the traditional pizza next time but I like this place overall--Simple and straight to the point with a small menu. read more

Sooooo admittedly, I've never had a Philly slice before in my life. Pizza Jawn was perfectly located on the main drag so it seemed like the best option. It's a take out spot unlike any I've been to. It had a vibe. Two sofas. Just chill. Super clean. White walls were still shiny white. A little cluttery but what pizza place isn't? The counter person was OK. The slice was DIFFERENT. The sauce was thick, the cheese was scarce, but the crust was sooooo good!! A little thicker than I'm used to but damn, it was good. Greasy, chewy, and so yummy. I secretly wanted to throw some powdered sugar on the crust to make it a zeppole. The slice was huge. Enough for two and I'm a big girl. Not bad for $5. read more

I was driving though manayunk and I finally saw that the doors of pizza jawn was open! I've always been unlucky and never catch them before they sell out so I had to go grab a pie. I opted for the classic round cheese pizza. It is a 16" pie for $18 which isn't bad at all in terms of price. The pizza was good. I didn't know that it was cheese and then sauce for their pizzas. The crust was airy and a little chewy how I like it. The sauce was okay but the parm made it better. Overall I give the pizza a 3.5/5. It was good but I don't see what the hype was... I'm assuming because it's called pizza jawn. The store itself had a cool vibe with couches to lounge in. I did a to go order so I didn't hang out. read more

Location is great, love the building art, staff is friendly, but the seating area's got boxes and canned goods everywhere, like an old delivery was left out. And despite the amazing smell of fresh pizza, my slice was tepid and droopy. Sorry, all, just not great pizza. I would try again, but in another year, and reluctantly. read more

We were super hyped to try this pizza! We ordered ahead of time for a 1:30pm pick up so we could have it for lunch. The pizza was done in time for pick up. We didn't realize they have no seating inside (they do have a couch but when we asked they said we couldn't sit there...so what is the couch there for then?). So we sat outside in the cold on the wooden benches that were wobbly. The daughter was nice and brought out some plates and napkins for us. First impression of the pizza. The crust was very burnt. We had to break some of it off so we can try it. Sauce was good but a bit salty. We got extra cheese and pepperoni. Again it was good but idk with the hype/price tag on the pizza. Parking is also horrendous in the area too (first time in the area but I guess that's just how it is in manayunk). Overall not impressed. My husband enjoyed the pizza though. Wish it wasn't so burnt! They also have no drinks other than water (just FYI). read more

Get the grandma pie !!!! I had no idea what a grandma pie was prior to Pizza Jawn, but now that I know it exists- it's all I want.

Tasty, reliable, heavy slice. Their grandmas pie is a square slice that has sesame seeds toasted on the bottom. Best crust I've had in a while, but the sauce is on the sweeter end. The little kid who took our order was super confident and was great! Felt a bit strange ordering from a kid but it was sweet watching him work. Great quick option in the manayunk area read more

I have been wanting to try Pizza Jawn for almost 3 years now when I first discovered them on Instagram as a pop up. I moved away so I never got the chance to get back to try them. I finally decided to make a pre-order for a Detroit Style plain pie. I ordered for a 3 pm pick up time for a Saturday. Saturdays are busy in Manayunk, so I arrived early to ensure that I was able to find parking. I ended up parking a little way away and just walk it since it was beautiful outside. The order was ready for pick up right at 3 pm and when I walked in they helped me right away. They are VERY nice! I wouldn't really call it expensive or steep on the price because back in Florida places such as this that were local were the same pricing, so to me this is average. They don't seem to have seating inside, but I was planning on taking it home anyway. The Detroit is perfect for 2 people or over 2 days depending on hunger. The dough is very thick and crispy cheese crust like a traditional Detroit. It was absolutely DELICIOUS! I am looking forward to trying their grandma pie next with my fiance. My ONLY dislike of the pizza is that they put grated parmesan cheese on top. I know many people like this, but I never have really caught on grated parm on my pizzas. Overall, I will be a returning customer! read more

Drove from Staten Island to come here because of some Instagram influencer's post. Absolutely worth the hype. The customer service was extremely welcoming. The process for ordering the pizza a few days in advance was very easy. Grandma slice was definitely unique and special for Philadelphia, and the sesame seed crust was a nice touch. Don't sleep on the plain pie either, it was delicious. I'd love to come back and try another pie. read more

For the people wondering whether this place is worth the hassle of ordering, picking up (Main Street Manayunk parking fun!), cash-or-Venmo only payment....the answer is yes, most definitely worth it. Or in the words of the NMA, a Teen Pizza Expert (as pizza is one of the four food groups of the teenage male). "This pizza is really, really good, Mom." We ordered a "Grandma" pizza, which is made on thick, hearty structured bread dusted with sesame seeds. Got three meats - pepperoni, beef and bacon. What I picked up seriously weighed at least 3 pounds, if not more. I parked around the corner in the Venice Island public lot, it was a nice day and walking a bit was refreshing. They had my pizza ready, I gave them my name, showed my order receipt on phone, handed over the cash and walked out in like 5 minutes. Note: they were offering walk up pizza by the slice when I was there. Not sure if that's a regular thing. Brought this divine smelling huge pizza home. The NMA took two slices, more or less inhaled them, then told me he was "totally full". This, the child who weighs like 145 pounds and can eat an entire pizza in one sitting. Yeah, the toppings are very generous and the crust...oh my, it was delicious. Held up beautifully under the weight and the grease. I opted for one slice - which was a complete meal, and I used a fork and knife to eat it with. I like that there was a slightly spicy kick to the taste, not enough to be uncomfortable but not a sweet pasty flavor. Also, not overly cheesy, NMA and I questioned at first whether there was cheese on it - there is, at the bottom. I liked that it wasn't super cheesy. The remaining slices went into the fridge and you bet they re-heat well. The NMA and I are slowly chipping away - him two slices at a time, me one. Totally worth it, and we'll definitely go again. Highly recommend. read more

Best pizza that we've had in philly by far! So yummy, and really big slices. The regular pizza is better than the grandma ones in my opinion. read more

Food is edible, but I'd eat most things. The dough is dense and flavorless. The toppings are uninspired. I don't have much nice to say, and likely wouldn't have said anything had it not been for the enthusiastic media reviews. The hours are too erratic for Pizza Jawn to be used as a panic destination--so if you're hungry downtown, you're likely going to start wandering somewhere else. Service and ambiance are typical of quick serve counter service. read more

I ordered the Grandma Hot Jawn for takeout yesterday and it simply a miss. Too many sesame seeds for the crust and it was a little burnt too, giving off a bitter taste. The ricotta on top didn't seem very fresh. The jalapeños on the pizza were too ample. I'm all for heat, and I knew what I was ordering. That said, the pizza was bombed with too many jalapeños, which gave the pizza so much heat it was barely edible by the guests. Would recommend toning down a bit read more

Pizza Jawn lived up to the hype. The more traditional style pizza itself was delicious. We also ordered a vegan style pizza for one of our friends. The vegan pizza tasted so good that we all ended up trying it and questioning whether it was actually vegan. However, the grandma style pie might hands down be the best pizza I've had in Philadelphia. While a few other spots might make the cut for that title, I think Pizza Jawn comes out on top. The sesame seed base is thick but easy to bite into and packs so much crunch and texture. The only caveat is that their pizzas are quite pricey. However, I think it's worth treating yourself to because the ingredients are high quality and they aren't shy with the portions. I cannot wait to order from here again in the future to try out more flavors. read more

COVID Time Review. You've probably read enough about the ordering system to have an opinion on it. Yes, you typically have to order a week in advance. Yes, they fill up quickly. Hey, if you don't think you'll be hungry in a week then you aren't worried that the fill up. Besides, if they didn't fill up quickly, that is probably a sign you might not want to order from them. Ordering system aside, they make some good pizza. Not the best I've ever had and not the best I've ever had in the city. Probably the best I've had in Manayunk. There Grandma style is a heavy crust and is covered with sesame seeds. Its also a square(ish) cut. If you don't like sesame seeds, you should past. While it comes in at their priciest pizza, it does fill you. This is the pizza to get for a big meal or party. I do wish the side pieces ended up with more sauce as they come off a bit dry (while the middle pieces are usually totally covered in sauce). Their round looks, feels, and tastes like your standard pizza. We enjoyed it margherita style and felt the cheese and sauce balance was on point. The crust is a bit thinner, but it is not a thin crust pizza by far. The only thing I can comment on the service at this point is that they will have your order ready on time. They seem like a nice staff and I am excited to order in one day in the future. read more

tl;dr don't let the cut-throat ordering system and trek from Center City deter you from these quality pies; Pizza Jawn is a pizza lover's dream With so many fabulous pizzerias in Philadelphia propper, it feels ludicrous that a Manayunk joint would even crack the top 10. Nevertheless, Pizza Jawn is making waves in a bid for the Philly pizza throne. Pizza Jawn's ordering system is a Hunger Games-esque dash to jot down your name and contact info. Right when the spreadsheet drops on the website (a week in advance), be prepared to quickly find your ideal pie and timeslot. Within a few minutes, you should receive an email confirmation for your signup, and no need to pay until your pickup the next week. I opted for a Grandma Pie (a 16"x16" square broken up into 16 slices, with a sesame seed bottom) topped with pepperoni (admittedly the only topping that came to mind as I frantically navigated the ordering system). In contrast to ordering, the pickup was a breeze -- on the chilly Thursday evening one week later, I showed up just before my timeslot and the pie was fresh out of the oven. The crust was light and airy, with the layer of sesame seeds across the bottom generating a surprisingly flavorful taste and texture. The tangy red sauce is strategically dolloped atop the cheese, and the pepperoni very nearly resembled high-quality, crisp bacon. The Grandma pies are enormous. At 16"x16" (broken up into 16 slices), these can reasonably leave a party of 4 feeling content. But don't let the prospect of leftovers dissuade smaller parties -- my partner and I took home just about half a pie, and the leftover slices were marvelous the next day with a quick heat-up in the air fryer. At $28 for our fabulous pie, the Grandma varieties feel like a steal. The only change I would opt for during my visit is a double-order of pepperoni! read more

Pizza Jawn - Grandma Pie with Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Yes, this place is as good as the rave reviews say. Philly is lucky now to have such high level pizzerias, with Pizza Jawn just being the latest to push expectations even higher. And the nice jawn about them, what sets them apart, is the 3 distinct styles they make. I've tried them all. The Round is your more traditional (16" yes, "round") pie, with the excellent slightly charred crust (try doing that at home!). The Grandma is the pan-baked 16" square cheese-underneath pizza with the sesame seeded crust, resulting in a very chewy, denser crust. The Detroit is remarkable as a thinker-crusted "focaccia" dough pizza, very filling. So although it's a smaller (9x9" square) pie, it's plenty. I've ordered twice from them, and went through some of the confusion as they switched to the order a week in advance as opposed to ordering on Sunday night when the page drops. And it's not an entirely intuitive order form to complete. But week-in-advance ordering seems like a real improvement. It is highly competitive, however, to get a slot, so it's worth it to get in early after the page goes live. He who hesitates is lost! We did have a goof on one order - my Deputy Yelper put in "pepp" which PJ staff routinely interprets as "pepperoni," not "peppers" as in "peppers and onions." So mind your P's and O's. When I stopped to pick up the pies, we had to do some quick switching. It was really really their fault, but they fixed it up immediately. For pickup, staff is masked and in a quasi-outdoor setting, so it's a safe, comfortable environment. read more

The new kid on the block is also the toughest ticket in town to get. The much anticipated, highly touted, Pizza Jawn is here for a brick and mortar experience in Roxborough. After quite some time spent on social media following their insta I was able to learn how and more importantly when to reserve a slot for a pie correctly. When the reservation link goes out it's only a couple of minutes before all slots fill for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Luckily I was able to snag a grandma pie for Thursday at 8:45 their second weekend open. Cash only I rolled up at 8:23 and was happily greeted and given my pie. A couple minute car ride back up the hill and the pizza was still hot when I had it at home. This was the grandma style with pepperoni and hot honey coming in at $29. Now that may seem steep but this thing had the weight of Al Capone's safe as I was walking it out the store...it was dense. I throughly enjoyed it and will say it's worth the hype. I def want to get back there and try the Detroit style and possibly regular style as well. I'll say since I had it before I wouldn't wait in line but if I was a first timer I might consider lining up in person. I'm so glad Manayunk has finally nabbed a gem like when other parts of the city have been so lucky to have Angelos, Beddia, and Taconellis amongst others. read more

I got a Detroit style pizza with sausage, peppers, onions, and Mike's hot honey. It was so so so so so good.

If you're thinking about buying pizza from here, just do it because you won't be disappointed. The pizza here is expensive but it's totally worth it. The menu is limited but for good reason, whatever you get they will deliver. I tried a simple sesame based pizza with cheese (AMAZING). I didn't think it could get better than that. It's luxury pizza for when you want something different, familiar but good! TIP: They have limited hours so order online. read more

976th different cheesesteak in the last four years. This Cheesesteak was a huge disappointment. The grill person was distracted/having a bad night/looking forward to going home. The roll was ripped. A lot of meat but it was mostly dry. The cheese that was on there was pooled on the bottom. The long hots are hot. I ate my cheesesteak at Fat Lady brewing. That was nice. I found a Von C Hazy IPA I liked. Everyone there was focused on the customer experience. read more

Tried Pizza Jawn for the first time and it was delicious. Lives up to the hype! The grandma style is unique and very tasty. One slice is very filling. Surprisingly, their vegan pizza was soo good too. I haven't ever wanted to go back to a place an order vegan pizza before but this place has sold me on it. It's just a take out pizza spot. No tables to eat there but a couch to wait for your order. The staff was very polite and friendly, unfortunately they were out of some of the toppings we wanted. read more

Maybe skip this hype-beast. I was excited to try this pizza, seeing all the delicious posts on the internet. The actual pizza seemed undercooked. . . it was extremely doughy.

I happened to be in the neighborhood at Manayunk Brewery and decided to give Pizza Jawn a shot. It was a cold evening and I didn't place my order ahead of time but I decided to take a chance with a walk-up and am glad I did! Typically you place your order online a week in advance via their website. Thankfully I got lucky and was able to score a grandma pie w/pepperoni that had gone unclaimed (which just so happens to be one of my favorite pies). Although the pie is priced at $28, I got a nice discount since it had been sitting out for quite some time. Nothing a little time in the air fryer can't fix! The verdict - some of the best grandma pizza I've ever had and some of the best Philly pizza - there I said it. Crunchy, thin square crust, delicious sauce and cheese, the good pepperoni, and sesame seeds on the bottom. Thinking back - it was a magical experience. I don't find myself in Manayunk a whole lot but with a brewery and fantastic pizza just 2 blocks away, I could see myself regularly venturing down those hilly streets and steep inclines for a slice...or box of heaven. read more

If you've ever wondered whether or not food in pictures tastes as good as it looks...this ZA tastes as good as it looks. Pizza Jawn really cares about what comes out of their oven. Every pie is a work of art. You taste the freshness, and the sweet sauce bursts in your mouth with every bite. The crust is crispy on the outside and doughy-soft on the inside...perfect! Whether it's intentional or not, I love the slightly burnt parts - the subtle bitterness adds an extra dimension. The real star of the show is the Ezzo pepperoni, and Pizza Jawn takes care not to skimp on it. The thick-cut pep is hearty and savory and just really ties the rest of the pie together. For anyone out there who's not a huge fan of pepperoni (like myself), just trust me and get it. Looking forward to making this place a staple...so long as I can get my name on the excel spreadsheet before 8:05pm! read more

Asides annoying ordering ordeal, it's kind of worth it. Partly because a lot of places that makes Pizza don't know how to make a pizza, or even know how to control fire. And no, Do**nos is not a pizza, you are eating a cardboard and grease. Next time you order Do**nos, try the cardboard box that your pizza came in with. It will taste exactly the same.

New to the Manayunk restaurant scene, Pizza Jawn already has a cult following. With limited pre-orders a week in advance Thursday - Sunday, this pizza is worth the hype. Thick, chewy crust and quality ingredients make this pizza easily one of the best in the Philadelphia area (and I'm constantly on the search for the perfect pizza!) The only downfall to this delicious pie is that with the square shape, you don't get the standout crust with every slice (they do sell a round pie, but the Grandma is seemingly the most popular). I also expected to be given the hot honey on the side, so I could drizzle myself. These small factors aside, I cannot wait to try other options on their menu. Pro-tips: You do have to order a "cheese base" in order to get sauce and cheese on your pizza as this is a vegetarian/vegan friendly pizza place! Also, Pizza Jawn currently only accepts cash or venmo for payment. read more

If you love piles of thick cut ronicups this is your spot. They certainly did not skip on the pepperoni on the Round and it was a flavorful chewy bite. The Detroit while smaller is a dense flavor bomb of buttery cheesy goodness. I am sure it will reheat well as I am very full after 2 slices of the Round and one Detroit. Why did I order 2 pies for one? Because I have been stalking their Instagram for months and finally got slotted. They have only been open a few weeks in Manuyunk but they use the same slotted system from their at-home quarantine shop. Set your alarm for 7:55pm Sunday night as the link for the slots for that week drop at 8:00 and are full by 8:10. Thursday Friday Saturday only for now. Very limited walk ups. Check the website for the deets. Well done Pizza Jawn. Worth the trip from center city and I will be back with friends to try the Grandmom which is rumored to be a gut buster. read more
