This is my favorite pizza place East of Italy. Pro tip/the most important thing: calling in an order for take out, call back if it just rings. They are always busy, from the minute doors open, but they will answer the phone eventually!! If you're dining in, be prepared to wait. It is small inside, just 10 tables I think. But the wait is WORTH it! Also, it's byob, which is nice. Inside: small, cozy, intimate. You can see the kitchen from all tables. Lovely lighting, cute on-brand deco. Food: start with a salad. They're all simple but perfectly executed. We had the romaine, it's got red wine vinaigrette and artichokes. If you're with a crowd, do the arancini - 6 pieces of cheesey, prosciutto goodness. Pizza: honestly, always get the special. They're dreamed up by chef gene. Most recently I had the sausage, w duck fat onions and roast peppers. The sausage is made on-site and is the obvious star, second star is the amazing, thick fluffy Brooklyn style crust. The small is more than enough for 2 meals for 2 people, so I suggest you get two smalls and eat pizza all weekend. I'm really eager to try their pancetta pie, a white pie w/ leeks, potatoes, and cream. read more

We were around the neighborhood and were looking for kid friendly places. They have some coloring books and crayons available for the kids. I love thick dough pizza and this hit the mark. We ordered the sausage and a plain cheese pizza. I really loved the sausage on the sausage pizza. Big chunks. Other toppings include roasted peppers and onions. You can see the bubbling of the yeast rise up. The center was probably a little on the raw side given the toppings and thickness so I lowered my rating a bit. One note of caution. These pizzas are extremely greasy as they need a lot of oil to cook the bottom. Great pie though! read more

Square Pie is still bomb as ever. We arrived at 4pm on the dot to place a takeout order to bring to my brother's house for his birthday. We started a tradition of birthday pizza parties and, let me just tell you, it's proven to be a great decision. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and spinach pizza, and a Caesar salad. But after chatting it over with the chef and hostess, I added a second salad which was smart. One would not have been enough for four people but two was just right. Their caesar is great! The pizzas were perfection. I don't know how they make those giant, thick slices somehow feel light but the crust is flaky, flavorful and just amazing. The toppings are just right without going overboard. I had a slice of each pie which was the perfect amount. Can't wait for the next visit or takeout order! read more

This place has been on my list since I got a damn Yelp account a dozen years ago, but better late than never. I love a good Sicilian, but most are too bready and sit in your stomach like a rock. Enter Square Pie, a yeast scented slice of heaven that begs the question: why more crust when you can have more toppings? Ordered steamy hot pizza to-go on a cold night (cue Kevin McCallister's "A lovely cheese pizza, just for me"). Got a red mushroom pizza and a white pancetta pizza. I still can't decide which I like better, although I will say the one-four punch of cured pork belly, rosemary potatoes, leeks, & cream (ripped straight from their website) edged out the mushroom in sheer creativity alone. However, that red sauce is to die for. Vibrant and tangy, this is a mouth ulcer sauce, you feel me? With that said, the crust still holds its own as a necessary subplot. More crispy (dare I say even charred?) than chewy, it's giving Neapolitan style in square form. Get a large or two 8-inchers like we did - they'll be gone fast. read more

Everyone said to go to Angelo's for pizza. We went. We left because they didn't have seating. A local suggested Square Pie. It was a short walk from Angelo's. We highly recommend Square Pie! We enjoyed everything about it. Great crust! As Lou told us, the crust is so good that everyone eats the whole crust unlike other pizzas. The pepperoni was thick with a little spice. The cozy atmosphere is what we expected of a local pizza place. The business story is heartwarming. We will definitely go back to Square Pie when in Philly. read more

Quaint little pizza shop in Queen Village that makes square, deep dish pizza. Their pizza is good, but it's very rich and greasy, which is a little too much for my liking. If you're a fan of deep dish pizza though, they're one of the only places in the area where you can find deep dish. Only way to order is by calling ahead. Be sure to check out the hours listed on their website, because they can be open odd hours. Masks are required at all times and they do not have outdoor seating available. When indoor seating is open, they only have a few tables since they are a small place. They're very picturesque though, so it's worth checking them out. read more

It's always a treat when we order square pie. They literally serve square pizzas that squeeze into their pizza boxes. They're thick and filling, even if they appear a bit smaller on first inspection. The crust is buttery - remind me a bit of sourdough which I love. My favorite pies are pepperoni, pancetta (yes! Potatoes!), sopressata, but they're all fun to try. The romaine salad is also great if you want something fresh on the side. read more

I visited this restaurant before the pandemic and managed to snag a seat on a Friday evening. They have very limited hours so I'm glad it worked out. The ambiance was rustic, exposed brick oven, and dim lights. There were quite a few groups enjoying their meals. We order the Mozzarella and the Pepperoni. They were sold out of the Pancetta so I'll have to get that next time. Both pizzas were delicious. Great crust, flavorful sauce, and gooey cheese. This is a great pie! The pizza is on the salty side so drink your fluids, but otherwise I can't wait to return. Overall Mozzarella 4/5 Pepperoni 4/5 read more

OH MY WORD, I had to come onto Yelp as soon as I finished because this was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The porchetta pizza was so perfect--rich and cheesy, and SO flavorful (I believe it's topped with porchetta/pork, spinach, provolone, garlic, and cream). And the dough is everything pizza dough should strive to be--thick, with a bite, and the perfect balance of chewy and crispy. None of that burnt, or super thin business. It was a little oily, but it didn't feel heavy or overbearing at all! Ordering by phone was super convenient and quick, and you just walk in and pay--everyone was so kind! This pizza warmed my heart and made me forget about everything that's been happening in 2020. I've been dreaming about pizza for the past few days and you best believe I walked home SO FAST, holding the small warm box of deliciousness in my hands as if my happiness depended on it. (And it did--I am SO happy right now, so thank you Square Pie!) read more

Both were delicious! The thickness of the pizza was about 0.5-1" and was very hearty. The crust was super crispy. Pizzas weren't too oily or salty and has a good ratio of toppings and dough.

This. Is. Pizza. Not your average neighborhood papa johns chain or some lack luster doughy mess labeled pizza but real pizza that has real depth and character. It's square (hence the name), it's friendly, it's a BYOB, it's messy and greasy, it's almost closer to a deep dish than a flat lifeless NY slice, and if it's good enough for Joe Beddia, it's certainly good enough for me. The atmosphere is friendly, casual, and fun--like your best friends opened a pizza shop except you don't know they're your best friends yet. The mushroom pie was our favorite but the sausage also looked equally as good if you're a meat pizza lover. A good Italian salad to start was also a good choice to make us feel less guilty about the damage we did to the pie itself. read more

This is the only pizza near Queen Village that I find myself craving. They're thick, greasy, pan slices, definitely not New York style. I am shocked by how into this I am now that I've given it a fair chance. Note that they aren't drowning in cheese like some Chicago-style pizzas, which you might consider a pro or a con.

Square Pie is a totally different style of pizza than what most people are used to in Philly (and that's a great thing). I think they call it Brooklyn style pizza, which has a much thicker crust and is obviously square-shaped. The dough is super flavorful and has a perfect texture. I like my pizza well done so the beautiful crispy exterior is ideal for me. We got a traditional mozzarella pie with tomato sauce and cheese and a porchetta pie with roast pork, spinach, provolone, and cream sauce. They were both amazing and totally different. If I'm ever in the mood for a different style of pizza, Square Pie will be the move! read more

The food is amazing! We got the pepperoni pizza and it was delicious. I was hesitant to come here because I love thin crust with not a lot of sauce. The thick crust was amazing. There was a little to much sauce for my liking but normal amount for normal people. The sauce was so good and that means a lot coming from someone who isn't a fan. It was cooked perfectly and crispy.

While I might choose another place for takeout, when the goal is a night of pizza, wine, great atmosphere, and authentic neighborhood vibes, this is usually where we end up. The space is bright, industrial, airy, and thoughtfully designed but unforced. White walls, warm wood, considered lighting, and a floor plan with real breathing room. The vibe recalls Bucktown, Wicker Park, Williamsburg, and Greenpoint: design-forward but genuinely local. There's a great bar, and booths near the kitchen with glass windows that let you watch the staff. Our three-year-old was mesmerized, and the staff was warm and playful, smiling and waving while they cooked. A small detail, but memorable. The crowd feels local. Good music, friendly people, hip but never pretentious. It's just a fun place to be with great service, too. The food is outstanding. We usually order the chicories caesar with grana padano and breadcrumbs, and the lettuce salad with shaved vegetables and creamy oregano dressing. For pizza, we love the arrabbiata (the Angry pie) and tomato pie with sausage and pickled chilies. My wife enjoys the ice cream. A note on bringing kids: I don't think this is a family restaurant, but if your kids are curious and well-behaved, it's absolutely worth bringing them earlier in the evening. We've gone around 4:30 or 5:00 on weekends and always felt comfortable. One time, our daughter had a full meltdown, and we were mortified, but the staff couldn't have been cooler. They packed everything to go, kindly and without any judgment. That kind of grace is hard to fake, and it genuinely stuck with us. Pricing is fair for the quality of the food and the experience. Places like this can seem overrated or overpriced, but this one doesn't. It offers real value for a memorable night out. The whole restaurant feels like a microcosm of Philadelphia's progressive, creative side. There's real ambition behind it, but it still feels human and grounded, nothing sterile, nothing corporate, nothing over-engineered. Just smart people building a cool neighborhood place that others actually want to spend time in. Oh, and make a reservation. Great spot, Joe. We'll be back soon. Thank you!

It has been quite a while since I've been to Beddia, but they never disappoint. We walked in…read morewithout a reservation on a Tuesday night with hopes of being seated (Philly is still covered in snow, so our hopes were high) and got a nice little table in the corner right away. The hostess took our coats (a nice touch!) and then a rotation of two servers explained the specials and we ordered. I love that the menu is on the shorter side and they rotate the pizza offerings, so even if you're visiting on a regular basis, you'll always be able to try something new. Additionally, when a menu is only about 2 pages, you know everything on those two pages is top notch, as was the case at Pizzeria Beddia. This evening we got the meatballs (didn't take a photo, was too excited, but they were HUGE and excellent) and the beef, pork and veal balls with a rich red sauce was outstanding. Came in an order of 2 but one was plenty for each of us. The Pizza we got had potatoes on it, and we added sausage per the servers recommendation, and it was cooked perfectly and all of the flavors blended so well together. We are so lucky to have an amazing (and nationally recognized!) pizza spot in the neighborhood and it's always nice when you can walk in without a reservation from time to time.

The staff is so friendly and "normal" which I always appreciate. They of course did their normal customer service thing, but weren't overly friendly or overbearing. Other than the caesar, we stuck to the happy hour menu which was great. 8 dollar wines, 10 dollar (smaller size) pizzas and 12 (ish) dollar whipped ricotta with focaccia. The whipped ricotta was so incredibly good. The main point of visiting was for the Caesar salad which was incredible. Huge chicken cutlet and a comical amount of parm. Under 100 bucks for 4 drinks, pizza, salad and app - and everything was delicious. Will totally be back soon!

I'm a native NYer who loves his pizza and living in SF, really good, NY style pizza is hard to come by.

The space is large and bright and the service is fast and friendly.

EXCELLENT LATE-NIGHT STOP! MUST TRY!…read more We walked in about an hour before closing on a Thursday night--never an ideal entrance. You know the look. The polite smile that says "it's fine" while the eyes say "it is absolutely not." Totally understandable. No one loves a near-close order. I even acknowledged it out loud--apologized, explained we weren't from the area, and that we were just trying to grab a quick bite because it was one of the few places still open. She said it was okay. Her face said otherwise. Fair enough. Here's where it turned around. The pizza came out hot, fresh, and legitimately impressive. Not "good for late night" good--just plain good. Every bite was fresh, the ingredients tasted clean, and the pizza clearly hadn't been rushed or phoned in despite the timing. Hunger probably helped, but even factoring that out, this was a standout. Honestly, I was kicking myself for not ordering an extra one to go before leaving the city. That's how good it was. We did try to get drinks, but were told the soda machine was down. The nozzles were off, so I'm guessing it was a cleaning/end-of-night thing. I won't ding them for it--though let's be real, tossing nozzles in sanitizer isn't exactly a marathon. Still, not a deal-breaker. Restaurant was clean, but of course, they were near closing. I tipped her a few bucks for staying late, and left genuinely satisfied. Bottom line: the food carried this experience completely. If you're visiting Philadelphia and need a reliable, fresh, late-night bite, &Pizza is absolutely worth the stop. Sometimes the places you expect the least end up delivering the most. I plan to 100000% return (and it'll probably be near closing time again, too)

Fortunately, I got booked on a flight out the next morning and found a hotel in the city. Other than running to a drug store, my only other time leaving my hotel was to grab dinner at Pizzeria Vetri across the street. I enjoyed the food, the service, and the ambiance. I was immediately seated upon arriving to Pizzeria Vetri. I was asked if I wanted to sit at the bar, at a table, or at the pizza counter. I chose the pizza counter so that I could watch staff making pizzas. As I was there on my own, the serving staff continued to stop by and check on me. The menu includes neopolitan pizzas (12" feeding 1-2 people) and metro pizzas (28" feeding 3-4 people). They make pizzas, calzones, antipasti, and salads. I chose a Neapolitan-style pepperoni pizza consisting of pepperoni, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fresh oregano. It was quite filling and absolutely delicious! They also sell pizza kits so that you can make your own pizza at home. Pizzeria Vetri was created to celebrate the art of authentic pizza making. They aimed to create simple food made exactly the right way using the best and freshest ingredients served in a space where all are welcome. You can visit the Pizzeria Vetri website (https://www.pizzeriavetri.com) to order online, see menus, details about all four locations as well as to learn about classes, hosting events, and catering options. You can sign up for PV Perks at https://www.pizzeriavetri.com/pv-perks. You earn 25 points for signing up and one point for every dollar spent. You receive a $5 discount for every 50 points redeemed. They also have Happy Hour specials. I certainly enjoyed the experience and would go back again iid in the area.

Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House

Lazy Sunday after an unsuccessful Memorial Day beach weekend. It was cold and rainy all weekend but…read morewe decided to hit up some beef noodle soup place to warm up. On this cold almost summer day, Nan Zhou was hustling and bustling. Separate parties at the same round table and clients coming in and out of the restaurant facade. Warm lighting and active banter. I received my bowl of beef noodle soup was pretty satisfied. Beef was tender with flavorful bites of fattiness. Somehow, the meat tastes beefier than beef. The cilantro had potent herbaceous flavor with some spinach(?) and mustard greens. Noodles were pleasantly chewy w variation in texture. Lowkey, everything else was alright. I like to be nice so I'll say no more. Cucumbers were fine

We came here around 1pm on a Sunday and ordered the mapo tofu with noodles, the house special…read morenoodle soup, and a shrimp stir fry. This place was packed, which is always a good sign, and even with that the staff stayed super prompt and professional. The house special was my favorite. I got it with the knife-cut noodles and it was perfect with the broth. The noodles had that slightly uneven, chewy texture that really holds onto the soup. I never thought I'd be the type to talk about "mouthfeel" but here we are. The broth itself was rich and savory with a deep beef flavor, a little bit of oil on top that adds body without feeling too heavy. It's that classic, comforting Chinese beef noodle soup done really well. I added a braised egg, which had great flavor soaked into it, though it was served cold, which threw me off a bit. The mapo tofu with noodles was also really solid. It had that signature spicy, numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns, balanced with a savory, slightly salty sauce. The tofu was soft and silky, and mixing it with the noodles made it extra satisfying. It's got some heat but not overwhelming, just enough to keep you going back for another bite. The shrimp stir fry was lighter but still flavorful. The shrimp were cooked well, tender with a slight snap, and the sauce leaned more on the savory side with a mild sweetness. It felt like a nice balance alongside the heavier noodle dishes. Couple practical things: it's cash only, but there's an ATM right by the seating area which makes it easy. And the portions are generous for the price, so it feels like a really good deal. Overall, super satisfying spot. Busy, a little chaotic, but the food absolutely delivers. Definitely a go-to if you're craving hand-pulled noodles.
