One of the best margherita pizzas I've had in recent memory. As someone who feels lukewarm towards the crust part, I ate the crusts here. Every time I go somewhere for Neapolitan-style pizza, I always try the margherita to see if they're as good as they say they are and Sorellina's version is immaculate. Cheese, dough, tomato sauce, all perfection. I actually like it when the crust isn't too burnt and the middle is slightly undercooked so theirs was 10/10 for me. I wish I can rate the rest more highly. We ordered the gnudja fritters, which were borderline inedible. The ground meat inside was way too salty and the rest of the fritter tasted of nothing except grease. In fact, the pieces were sitting in a puddle of oil which wasn't appealing at all. I also think the restaurant could use better ventilation for the benefit of both the staff and customers, because the air inside was super hot and stuffy and our clothes and hair reeked of oil for days after. I saw some other deep-fried items on the menu and I'd suggest Sorellina take those off and focus on the pizzas instead, especially with the incredible wood-fire oven. The Caesar salad was okay and I liked the honeycomb gelato. We sat at the bar - the seats were the thin, metal, rickety kind and not comfortable at all. Whenever one of us had to get up, it'd be a whole production of trying to inch the seat back and then in. Please replace the bar seats with something firmer for those of us with more tender bottoms! read more

Sorellina - MARGHERITA; NDUJA FRITTA - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I usually don't get excited about pizza, especially thin crust pizza (team deep dish all the way!), but the pizza here is good! The pizza is Rome style with a thin, crispy crust. I ordered the Friarielli e Salsiccia, which consisted of broccoli rabe pesto, smoked provola, and a house made sausage. Super tasty, with enough toppings to get absorbed into the crust. Our waitress was passionate about Italy and Italian cuisine and because of that, had unlimited patience when it came to answering questions about the menu options. I pass the Divine Lorraine hotel all the time but somehow never noticed this restaurant. Looking forward to returning! read more

Sorellina - FRIARIELLI - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I first visited Sorellina through a Yelp Elite event last year where we had the opportunity to try a few of their pies. I finally returned with my pizza loving husband to kick off his birthday during happy hour. We arrived on a Friday when they opened and were promptly seated at the bar. After fumbling over the menu and being incredibly indecisive, the bartender did come by to offer a few suggestions and recommendations. He was friendly and the effort was there, but man did it feel awkward, I felt bad for the guy. He seemed really uncomfortable to be in a social situation which is tough for a server/bartender.. but he was so quiet, kind of mumbled and was difficult to hear. But, he was friendly and overheard me telling my husband he should order whatever he wants for his birthday, and at the end of our meal sent a complimentary birthday cannoli for him! We tried the prosciutto pie which transported us back to Italy. This is a great spot for Neapolitan style pie, with a chewier crust. This pie is their margherita, with the toppings added after the pie comes out of the oven. The second pie on happy hour was still good, but it's really hard to beat how good fresh parm, arugula and quality prosciutto is on a pizza. This pie was also a bit 'soggier' than the first pie. The prices are fair for these days, pies running you $18-23 and for me, the quality is there. We ended up with leftovers. The interior is spacious, great lighting and beautiful. I would recommend Sorellina especially if you like Neapolitan style pizza. read more

Today I visited this lovely eatery as a nice dinner spot before attending a show at the Met Philly. For appetizer, I got the Cappnata Sicilinia. Such enriching flavor of the eggplant! However, I didn't expect the bread to be cold, but maybe the dish was designed to be a cold appetizer. For drink, I enjoyed sipping on a Contessa Negroni. The drink was beautifully garnished, well balanced between London dry gin, vermouth, and aperol. I would highly recommend the drink to wind down and take in the atmosphere. For main course, I got the Porta a Porta. This dish is perfect for people who love stuffed crust with ricotta cheese. The tomatoes were cooked well, and wow the peppers *chef kiss* I think I would have preferred more peppers and less arugula on the pizza. Parking was rather easy with a couple of street parking options, but there are also some parking garages in the area. Upon my arrival, I was greeted and welcomed warmly, they made me feel special for traveling all the way from Baltimore to Philly. I look forward coming again, I would love to try the Capricciosa without prosciutto! I would also love to bring my fiancé because I heard this place makes vegan pizzas! ¡Ciao! read more

I'm a huge fan of neapolitan pizza. What I didn't realize until now is that I live right next to a place where I could get my cravings fulfilled: Sorellina. After passing by this cute spot on a daily basis, I finally got the chance to check them out during their happy hour today. Upon entering, I was wowed by their ambience. Their interior design has a mix of urban modern chic look with the exposed brick wall in combination with the casual elegance of the candlelit table tops and crystal chandelier adorning in the middle section. What I didn't particularly like was their chairs, since the lack of cushions left a lot to be desired in terms of tushy comfort. For food, I ended up trying their margherita pizza and nduja fritta. The crispy nduja's breading was nice and crunchy, but the filling was a bit too salty for my liking. The margherita pizza, on the other hand, was cheesy and the saucy. Since I prefer my pizza on the soggier side, this worked out well for me. If anything could be improved, however, it would be that their sauce wasn't seasoned enough. I tried mixing nduja fritta's filling with the pizza, but the combination didn't go as well as I thought it would. Something's missing from the taste profile, but maybe it's because I'm more used to meaty toppings. read more

Came back to try the Stella and it did not disappoint. I've been dreaming of coming back to sorellina for pizza because it's still my favorite place in the city! The crust quality and the quality of the ingredients are just excellent. We just don't live close so it takes us awhile to drive in. The Stella was so unique and delicious! The crust just folds around the ricotta in a really chewy yet crunchy way, and the ricotta is so soft! So so yummy. I would get this again!! Highly recommend it. read more

Sorellina - Old fashion - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I'm very skeptical of hotel-adjacent restaurants but this spot really should not be put in that category. It's new and maybe has some growing pains but really is worth the try. Have to start with the service. Alexander was so pleasant and answered every question I had with a thoughtful and educated answer-for example: what is DOP tomato (plz ask). You can tell that the staff enjoy what they do and believe in the spirit of the restaurant. Turning to the food, this was good-not great but eventually will be great. We weren't super inspired by the list of appetizers and ultimately went with the bomba calabrese (tuna-stuffed Calabrese cherry bomb peppers). This was a nice bite...it was worth trying. We were really torn about the pizzas as there is a good amount of options but not a ton of variety. Ultimately, we went with the bronte, our favorite of the night (pesto, mozzarella, mortadella, buratta, pistachios-what can go wrong?), and the night special of a fennel and lamb sausage combination. I'm not so used to having so much crust and so little base layer to substantiate the ingredients, but I realize this may be what makes a Neapolitan pizza? It just made it feel like the crust and breading was a skosh dry, so we ended up dipping into a side of olive oil. In terms of growth, I think the layout of the restaurant needs reworking. The center bar is gorgeous, as are the window seats. The remaining tables seem a bit like an afterthought and need to be arranged differently because the space isn't being used as effectively as it can be. And I know this is nit-picky, but the dishware didn't seem to match the theme and could be improved upon. Overall, I think this place has a ton of potential. read more

Great pizza - potentially some of the best in the city. If it was just based off of the pizza, I'd rate it a 5. Overall I thought everything was overpriced - more expensive than big name established restaurants in center city (think prunella, trattoria carina, guiseppe and sons). For Sorellina just being up and coming, pizza and drink prices need to be more affordable. Service was also lacking - pizza came out before our appetizers (which were ordered earlier). Bar seats were uncomfortable. I think the restaurant would have a lot more people if they lowered the price - it's no lie it's a restaurant in north Philly - you can't be charging prices higher than everyone else in Philadelphia. read more

Very cute! Bright and fresh w tile everywhere. We came on a Friday evening when there was a light crowd and were seated in a lovely spot by the window. We each got a pizza. The margarita pizza was an absolute delight! The stuffed crust pizza was a bit gimmicky. The sauce and crust were great with a nice spice from the sausage. We both had a really nice glass of wine. read more

As locals to fairmount for about a year and half, this was our first time trying sorellina!!!! Safe to say we will DEFINITELY be back!!! Not only was the ambience and food amazing but the bartenders were impeccable!!! We were extremely catered too with excellent drinks and conversation learning more about this restaurant and the Divine Loraine. I would recommend this place to anyone and my boyfriend and I will definitely be back to see the bartenders!!!! read more

Pizza were so thin when picked it up the pizza fell apart and all the contents ended in the tray 7 for 7 pies pretty sad. $500 bill was double disappointment read more

This is the casual restaurant from the chef/owners of the fine dining restaurant in the same hotel. Once it's fully open, it'll be a nice new addition to N Broad Street. The dining room is simple, but very light and airy. It also had some really fun art, which definitely gave off a vibe. I had a pizza that I think is called the "Stella," which has a ricotta-stuffed crust. It was delicious. I'll plan to come back a couple of months after their firm opening, so that I can get the "everything has been worked out" experience. read more

Sorellina - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We walked in with a group of five, planning to sit at the bar -- there were plenty of open seats and only two servers working. The hostess immediately had a full-blown meltdown for no reason, acting like we'd committed a crime by sitting down. It's a restaurant we were there to eat and that's what their business is! Next thing we know, she's sprinting to get the manager instead of just communicating like a normal human being. Honestly, it was embarrassing -- for them. If Sorellina's can't handle five people sitting at a bar, maybe they shouldn't have one. We left before even ordering. Hard pass. read more

I've been here multiple times and have had varied experiences. The food is good and the atmosphere is very nice. There is a bartender/server that works there name Valerie. She is the BEST. Great service as a waitress and great drinks as a bartender. Have Valerie make your drinks! They're amazing! She really cares about your experience there. read more

Sorellina has promise to be the pregame spot before Met shows...but they cannot handle the crowds just yet. We ordered a pizza and wine 1.15 hours before the show. The pizza arrived before the wine, which took so long they said they would comp but we when we got the unitemized bill it was clear they charged us for it. The pizza was great and the wine selection is nice. Will need to come back 2 hours before a show or on another night. read more

Came for a pop up after hearing about this place on social media and the food did not disappoint! It's a cute spot in the Divine Lorraine with lots of natural light, good for a summer date night. Service was a bit slow, but I'm sure it'll get better later, as they're currently brand new. But the wait was absolutely worth it for the food. All of the ingredients were at peak freshness, and every bite was crafted with care. We ordered the arugula salad just for some fiber, in anticipation of scarfing down two carby pizzas, but the peppery arugula, crunchy walnuts, summer-ripe strawberries, and gorgonzola blended together in a wonderful medley, not too sweet or too bitter or spicy, just all fresh goodness. And the pizza! I'm not a huge fan of how soggy Neapolitan pizzas get in the middle, but I didn't mind it in this case because of the quality of the ingredients and the tastiness and chew of the crust. Again, all of the ingredients from the cheese to the tomatoes and endives and anchovies were noticeably fresh and delicious all on their own. We ordered the Sophia Loren and La Stella, and both were excellent, but La Stella (ricotta-stuffed pizza with 'nduja) is a must-have. The 'nduja is unflinchingly spicy, yet mellowed out by the cool and fluffy ricotta-stuffed crust. I've never had a pizza like that before and it should be a much bigger thing! For me, it was a standout pie in a city that's full of pizza. Do yourself a favor and keep an eye out for their opening, because you will want to try their food as soon as possible. read more

We has a great experience here with our two young kids. Food was good, great wine. And the service was great. They were so kind to our kids and gave them dough to play with. Will be frequent guests. And the restaurant is super cute inside. read more

Top fluffy doughs in the city - definitely well worth it. Drinks are fairly average. Space is interesting and airy

2.5 stars I am genuinely so puzzled by why I didn't like this. It was just OK, nothing memorable -- but I had such high hopes from other reviews raving about the authenticity. Maybe the margherita was a wrong choice. Nice ambience though. read more

Literally amazing. Came here because I saw a tiktok of the ricotta stuffed crust and needed to try it. We sat at the pizza counter and the chefs were so sweet. Service was amazing.

We had the most amazing dinner here! First, I got to the restaurant a bit early and had a glass of wine. The som, Mike, was so knowledgable and let me taste several wines before selecting one--effectively my own private wine tasting. The fried pizza was so unique and *so good*! The service was incredible--really attentive. We waited an extra five or ten minutes for our table so they comped us desert--three scoops of delicious gelato--and were so kind. Overall, the location is ideal, the food amazing, the vibe immaculate, and I cannot recommend dining here enough. read more

The food is authentic and amazing. The caponata is a must try, many itialian restaurants attempt this dish but few nail it like the chef at sorellina.. also we went with a larger party so had the opportunity to try most of the pizzas, all were delicious. read more

Excellent experience overall. The pizza is the closest to genuine Neapolitan in the city. We'll definitely be back!

Sat at the pizza bar with some friends. Had the daily special pizza with fresh asparagus and ricotta, and it was delicious. Service was friendly and solicitous but not overbearing. The gelato was some of the best I have had. Would definitely return read more

The 5:00 PM reservation started off as we were seated and a man in a white chef coat was shouting at the staff about a back pack being left out, no music being turned on and was snapping his fingers at and addressing the staff in a loud unpleasant manner. The waitstaff was nice, but the pacing was awkward. We asked for 2 glasses of their House Wine. If they didn't have it, it should have been disclosed before up selling us to the $19 and $18 per glass wines. The pizza came out before we could get a sip of our wine. Then the most bizarre thing happened: a male waitstaff member came to our table while we were eating and there were two slices on each pan and he took them away without asking. He brought them back in a box. This was not our first visit to the Divine Lorain, the outdoor Pop Ups, or Sorellina that we enjoyed immensely. But it will be the last time. read more
