Hey stop in here on a Hum Bug, but to my surprize the place was quite amazing. the ambiance was great maybe because it was pretty empty due to school not being in session. We decided on breakfast, i was blown away by the presentation. also it was very reasonable in price. The food was delicious no complaints from me. my niece got a kick out of the size of the french toast and to my joy my plate came with fruit which i was not expecting. read more

Had their cheese deep dish pizza. Honestly I wish I could get my money back. It filled me up but that's about it. Not the worst pizza I've ever had, but if your looking for something tasty look elsewhere. Definitely over priced for the quality, maybe one rung above Little Cesars and one rung below Dominos. read more

My boyfriend went to Drexel and this has been his go- to spot for the past decade. This has also become our go to spot for dinner pick ups. We usually order the Wraps and he always get the honey mustard chicken wrap and I get the SouthWestern wrap. Both are delicious and perfectly made each time - the chicken and veggies are so warm and grilled and pair so well together. It comes with fries and they give you A LOT (by the time we get home they get a little cold so we just stick them in the airfryer.) We also get the wings time to time and go for the hot bbq and their side of blue cheese is sooo good! Definitely a great spot! read more

It was a hot day, we sat inside to enjoy the AC and huge tv playing music videos...The breakfast menu was as tasty looking as the pies. My personal pizza was amazing, dough was stuff and fluffy with a nice crust. Best place to take a large group of friends for drinks and a couple slices. read more

I ordered the coconut shrimp & um it wasn't horrible it just wasn't for me, you get 5. I was hoping it was similar to the sweet chili shrimp that red lobster use to have but nope. I also ordered fried mozzarella, they came as mozzarella sticks I was expecting it to be like the fried mozzarella balls because it didn't specify they were sticks but it was average & you get about 5 or 6. read more

Their crispy chicken wrap is absolutely divine! Service has always been great and they have always accommodated any special requests I had. I recommend this for the late night meal! read more

Paninis is the only jawn I had and it's great. Its $10 to get filled eyyy. Takes a while for the most part because it's always busy. Makes sense but could be fixed. read more

Simple, good breakfast sandwiches and french toast. I always order a quick breakfast since work is nearby. The french toast surprised me. It was so beautiful and every bite was how it should be. It was pretty affordable and fair for the quanity. You can even share it with another person. The pizza on the other hand is okay. I only tried it once and it was a bit on the burnt side. Overall, I say try the french toast! read more

Great location relative to Drexel's campus, but the pizza doesn't do it for me. What Sava's has going for it is surprisingly classy ambiance for a corner pizza joint. It looks like a spot where you could legitimately take a date, until you realize it's just a NY style pizza place. The pizza isn't great. The crust is too chewy for my liking, as you often have to clumsily tear off large chunks of a slice with your mouth or slowly nibble at your pizza like a rodent to actually do any damage to it; normal chewing is out of the question. The topping combinations offered are surprisingly well thought out (the Mexican-style chicken slice is particularly satisfying), but slices are often tragically underfired and served lukewarm, making for a less than enjoyable experience. Also, the people who work there do not give a rat's behind about service. They're always grumpy and act as if they're doing you a favor buy serving you their mediocre slices. For a nice, piping hot slice with better crust, service, and character I suggest Ed's down the street, but Sava's does decently if you're looking for eat-in atmosphere and a bar. read more

My work team ordered delivery and mostly salads . Pacing order was easy , delivery guy quick and polite . The salads and wraps were fresh and was nice size . Everything fresh and delicious ! Very happy read more

I ordered a buffalo chicken cheesesteak from here one night and I guess I didnt notice the name of it on the menu says "buffalo chicken steak" AKA no cheese....the trickery! I was pretty upset about..So it was just chunks of grilled chicken with minimal hotsauce on a bun. Super disappointing since Ive heard good things about this place. Not sure if Ill come back read more

So when you order online through Savas, and you order fries it asks you if you'd lick cheese. Yea I wanted cheese, but just on the side... well literally they took that as give me 5 slices of American cheese on the side. What the hell? Been ordering food from you guys for years here at the hospital and you've done an on par job, however, this time I can't let it slide... read more

Grubhub order. Order never arrived but apparently Grubhub showed it delivered. Hopefully the Carls that got it enjoyed it.

Decent pizza. Huge slices. Good college town addition Nice outside seating area for a summer eve.

This is one of the worst pizza places on campus. The pizza is terrible. The fries are soggy. The burgers are dry and the staff are terrible. I will never come back here again as the service was disgusting. This place deserves to be closed and the only reason they are still open is because drunk college kids have no other option at 3 AM. Their pasta is gross and wet and their sauce has no flavor. If you think about going here just take the few extra steps to Ed's and get real food. The staff make it even worse with terrible service and terrible manners. I wish I could rate this garbage 0 stars read more

Good for... Pizza Alfredo chicken pasta Chicken wraps with fries Stromboli Chicken salad (they give you a lot of food) Not a big fan of the other items, but the ones listed above are good choices. read more

Food was good, but service was horrible. Will definitely be doing take out for future visits read more

Ordered the barbecue chicken pizza. Being from the south, I've had quite a few of these before. It was certainly underwhelming. Tons of barbecue sauce, very little chicken, no onions, cilantro, and very little cheese. Would definitely not order from here again. read more

Such a great spot for breakfast. Big selection on their menu. I would of wanted to try their lunch but the breakfast here is to die for. I didn't expect my plate to be so huge. So bring your appetite when you hit this spot. read more

Worst customer service, missed half our take our order and did not compensate.... wasted 2 hours of my life figuring out how to make sense to the manager, SAVAS SUCKS read more

I work in the area and was looking for a nice pizzeria and decided to go to Sava's. I ordered the chicken platter with rice pilaf. The chicken taste like wood and basically so did the rice pilaf. It was so nasty that I couldn't even manage eat it even though I was starving. To put it simply I had to go back to work hungry. Never again! read more

Needed some late night pizza and came across this place.... and it was amazing! The pizza sauce is incredible. Very happy with this find, and would recommend it for all times of the day :) read more

Apart from serving good pizza, I think the USP of the place is that it is open till late and serves beer. It has a nice ambience and people are generally polite. If you are hungry after midnight, this is the place to be. read more

Their meatlovers pizza was some of the best pizza I've had in Philly. Great sauce. I'm not a sauce kinda girl, but it was pretty spectacular. Delivery was quick. Pies arrived still really hot like they just came out of the oven. I order exclusively from Savas now. The pizzerias in my neighborhood pale in comparison. Definitely recommend!! read more

I love this place. Cool, laid back environment. Solid food, even late. Personable bartenders and great conversation with employees and patrons whenever I go. Perfect neighborhood spot. read more

Slow service, bland food. Waited for 20min for 1st round of drinks. The place was empty. One waitress spent the entire time flirting at the bar, the other was clueless. Took over an hour to get our entrees. The food was bland and ingredients were substituted. I ordered stuffed peppers only to receive stuffed tomatoes. No mention of the missing ingredient was made until the food was served. Seriously? What kind of pizza place doesn't have @#$%ing bell peppers? Go down the street to Mad Greek or Ramen Bar. Anywhere else. PS Music sucked. read more

I've been a loyal customer of Savas for years, but recently, I don't know if they hired new people or what, but the service has not only been underwhelming, it's been utterly offensive and disappointing. The food? Yes, it's good, but I can pay an arm and a leg for food elsewhere that will have service that is at LEAST mediocre. read more

What a disappointment. We purchased a large mushroom pizza. Got home to find that three of the slices had no mushrooms on them. The remaining slices were sparsely covered as well. The pizza was orange as in barely any cheese. My husband called and asked to speak to the person who made the pizza. He was told that he wasn't there. My husband asked to speak to the manager who was also not available. The young woman who took the call said that she would have the manager give us a call. And just like that disappointing pizza, there was NO call from the manager. This wasn't the first time that we ordered from Savas, but it will most certainly be the last. read more

Service was a bit off putting both times I was there. Nothing terrible, but not as attentive as others. Good wise, brunch was good. Omelette was status quo, had some garlic Parmesan wings which hit the spot though. I prefer this place for lunch. Buffalo chicken wrap was good and filling. Would order again. read more

The food here is great and I eat in and order take out all the time. Salads are huge and if you get the grilled chicken salad, it comes with a hefty portion of chicken (with an equally hefty side of salad). Took one star off because I ordered a vegetarian salad for pick up and the person on the phone didn't give me an estimated pick up time and when I showed up 10-15 minutes later my salad had been stored under a heat lamp and was warm, which was a bummer. read more

Came here on a Sunday night with some friends. I was surprised that they actually had seating in the back with a bar. The front is set up as more of a pick up. We ordered a large cheese pizza, fried calamari, garlic knots and a cheese steak. The pizza was super cheesy but lacked the tomato sauce to compensate. So if you're into cheesy pizza this is the spot. The fried calamari was okay. The breading would break off as you dipped it into marinara sauce. The garlic knots were kind of cold but otherwise good. The cheese steak was good. I'd come back for their pizza and possibly try their wings. read more

When its late at night and you want something to eat , any of the pizza places in the area is a good place to call. We usually order buffalo wings , i think their wings is okey and sauce is too salty but my friend likes it so it works out . We came in one day to get pizza slices , the girl behind the cash register was rude and snotty . When she saw us standing in front of her , she did not ask the typical "what can I get you " instead it was just a blank stare . When I placed my order , she started laughing . There are way too many pizza places in the area for you to act like a child . Even children could behave better than you . With so many competition in university city ; keep up with the behavior ! read more

The margherita pizza is always perfection. I've never been disappointed in the food, but last night was the first disappointing experience I've had with them. I was called and told my order was here so I went downstairs and they called me again within a minute saying I'm not located where I told them and he went on and on. After walking down the block and finding him, instead of asking if I was the customer, I was greeted with "this isn't even the right street that one is down that way a lot farther". Well I've lived here three years so I'm pretty sure I know my address. But besides the fact that my food was now cold, it still tasted delicious. The delivery guy was just a little man with Napoleon complex who needs a little help with reading maps. read more

I have had many good meals here but today I was so disappointed. I ordered a Capri panini with avocado instead of mozzarella. When ordered, they didn't tell me they were out of mozzarella so they gave me a sandwich with two slices of tomato and 3 leaves of basil. I called again and asked for extra basil and they sent me 3 more leaves. I am not sure how expensive basil is nowadays (except that it's super cheap) so I think they could've at least given me some basil for my tomato sandwich. read more

Savas - My "Capri" panini (two slices of tomato and two leaves of basil) - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

It's a shame that I cannot give this restaurant anything LESS than 1 star - it honestly deserves 0 for the complete lack of respect and value that this establishment had for its customers. From the time we ordered to the time we left, we were not only harassed by the upper management, but were shouted and yelled at each time, leaving us completely stunned and utterly disgusted with the way this restaurant treats its patrons. Needless to say, neither I nor my party will never return. I would think twice before coming here - particularly if you are coming with guests you are hosting. read more

Very nice eatery, just a few blocks from home, with a decent selection of foods and nice service. Savas Brick Oven Pizzeria is a relative newcomer to the mid-scale eating scene in Philadelphia, after their relatively recent renovation in mid-2010. For the UC crowd, it serves as a nice pizzeria and bar with a wide assortment of pizzas as well as other dishes. From wraps and paninis, all the way to semi-gourmet pastas, Savas has the ability to cater to a wide variety of audiences. The ambiance is very nice, ranging from the mood lighting to the plentiful LCD monitors, which make this a decent "wannabe sports bar." The breakfast selection is very nice, with decent portions (fluffy 3 egg omelet with choice of three ingredients, toast/bagel, home style potatoes, fruit cup, and drink) coming in at a reasonable 6.95. Other options exist, but I personally swear by the 3-egg creation, so I haven't given much sampling to the others just yet. For lunch and dinner, the fare is varied and most importantly, the food is cooked well. The staff is very knowledgable and friendly - most of the time; I had one bad occasion out of 15-20 visits. Their bar selection seems to be very good (cannot comment on the quality of the drinks personally), and the place is always doing well during the nights and weekends. Reservations really aren't needed, as they usually have a table open somewhere, but one knock is that the food can take a bit of time to come. If you're in a hurry or are just downright starving, I recommend going for one of the pizza slices (they're made fresh and are on display as you're walking in - so you can choose the one that looks good to you), as they take under 5 minutes or so. Other than the occasional delay in service, there really isn't much else to gripe about this place. Prices are decent for a UC eatery (you can get away within 10-15 bucks for a full meal, 2.77 for a specialty slice of pizza), which suits students quite well. I've come to know the staff well over the past few months (live close by, so it's become a staple eatery for me), and they're always looking to help make your visit better in any way they can. The family that owns it constantly is in and out of the place (sometimes the father and son mans the register when the place is busy), and they strive to do their best. Alcohol selection on the take out beer side seem to be very extensive (you'll know what I mean when you see the three huge refrigerators in the main entrance area), and at 12$ for a mixed 6-pack, they seem to be relatively reasonably priced. There seem to be some exotic selections as well, which should please the more refined beer drinker (if such a concept even exists). :) If you're a student and need a place to study and eat without being bothered, come here in the mid-afternoon. It is usually relatively calm, and the staff is very accommodating (I usually get an isolated table in the corner). They are really good with making sure that you're taken care of. I personally come here to do readings, and always get my work done. All in all, a good place that I recommend for students and UC visitors alike. Good eats! read more

Get the Greek food and nothing else. Best hummus and pita I've ever had, hands down. The pizza, not so much. I think that for a brick oven place, you better get your pizza down. The margherita pizza we ordered was...okay. It had maybe 4 small slices of mozzarella on it, so when it was baked, the uncovered sauce dried out on the dough, which was a little TOO crispy. It also took 20 years for our food to come out. The bartender was awesome, though. read more

Before you eat anything, go to the bathroom so you can see the sink. I run to see it every time I am there. It is seriously a work of art. It might take you some time to even figure out that it is a sink and not some rich man's bidet. The whole place for a pizza joint is really clean and "upscale"-inspired. Very nice decor -- not even sure why they spent so much on it when its demographic is pretty much poor college students. The pizza is efficient, nothing crazy good, but the strombolis, now there is your winner. Great strombolis, can be watery if you get very vegetable heavy options, but still really good. Service is awesome. And did I mention it is open until 2am?! That is pretty much the best food you will get at that time. Enjoy. Don't forget, must see the sink! read more

If I could give a zero I would. I knew something about the energy was off when I stepped in the door but I decided to just go with it. 3 other friends and I walked in to grab takeout and decided let's just sit down. Boy was that a bad decision we waited to be greeted by a server no one said anything, I saw a guy grab some menus and start walking. I stared at him, he got to the table turned around realized we weren't there he just stared at us until we took the hint to follow him. I never got a name a greeting he just left. Minutes after sitting down we waved him down put in an order. We ordered waited never saw the guy again. The food was brought out dropped on the table with no carefulness and at this point I knew something was up. I watched other servers talking and laughing with their guest we were so ignored that one of the other servers came over and asked "can I get you all anything" after noticing the lack of attention. The food was gross. The wing sauce was all butter and when I asked what other sauces were back there I was told " I'm gonna bring out the sauce and you decide whether you like it or not" pheeeeew child. My last straw was my friend asking for bbq sauce, getting honey mustard and asking for bbq again just to get cocktail sauce. The pizza was Cheesey toast, chicken fingers frozen and fried wilted I got up spoke to the manager about the awful service he brought out bbq sauce and said the meal was discounted. HERE'S THE KICKER! after this interaction I was given the Same server he continued not to speak and threw the check on the table. I was hesitant to give him my card because I saw the discount was never taken off when he came back I asked "could you please give this to your manager" referring to the check he said "sure" minutes later he brought back the check having swiped my card for the full amount no discount I then grabbed the check attempted to find the manager, full of frustration. The same waiter followed me and said " Anything I can help you with" with a smirk on his face. I waited for the manager just for him to say "whoops we already charged you nothing we can do now can I get you some dessert?" I could not believe that he wouldn't offer a refund a gift card or the discount I was promised. You will NEVER catch me in this crappy establishment ever again. I'm not sure if it was a racial thing,( seeing as we were the only black people in there ) or a lack of caring but either way I have never experienced such spot in the face service in my life. read more

This was the first stop on my June 2013 Tour de Philly and unfortunately it was a bit of a stumble out of the starting gate. I guess I've been spoiled by NYC pizza because the crust was too bready for my taste, and the service was somewhat sub-par. On the plus side, the menu was pretty expansive and it was one of the only places in the area open past 10pm. read more
