Daughter was choking and pulled a piece of plastic out of her mouth. Found the pizza was filled with plastic inside the dough. This is the 3rd issue in a row with them.

It's been couple weeks since I've visited Philly and had the amazing Philly cheesesteak and Italian hoagie from here. My cousin called in an order and picked up, the food came home pretty quick. I have no words to express how amazing the cheesesteak was since I had a not so good experience earlier in the day with cheesesteak from another well known location. Hands down one of the best cheesesteaks I have ever had. It had Cooper American cheese and it was my first time having a cheesesteak with that cheese. Every bite was worth it. The Italian hoagie was great as well. It had Cappicola, Ham, Pepperoni, Genoa Salami, Provolone cheese and all the fixings. The hoagie was delicious but my vote goes to the cheesesteak. If you are in the area definitely check out this place.

This is a hidden gem in the northeast section of Philadelphia. I got the grandma pizza here and it so good and flavorful. Nice char on the crust and the tomato plum sauce is fresh. My next time is the cheesesteak I been hearing nothing but good things about it. Overall this is becoming my regular spot for pizza

Never a disappointment always very tasteful and great quality personality I think Stela's has the best in Philly! Only negative is no diet soda lol

One of the best cheesesteaks I've had so far in the city and look forward to going back to try their other selections

Had a friend give me a gift card to Stella's Pizza. I've known of it but I've never tried it so it's excited to have something new. The upside down pizza with added pepperoni was a very well balanced,tasty and nicely crisp. The sauce was excellent and the cheese and seasoning was superbly balanced. What would pizza be without a cheesesteak, so that's what I did. I got extra cheese (amercian & cheddar, no copper here) and double meat because why not. Very fresh roll, nicely chopped meat with a good balance of onions and cheese blended throughout. Perfect flavor of the steak, very solid here. The extra meat really made it very hearty. Happy I tried it and would definitely come back.

When I tell you the cheesesteak was worth the drive! The amount of cheese, steak, onions, mayo, and peppers was on point. The sub was huge and I ate almost half of it in the car. The service was fast, they get a lot of orders, and the establishment was super cute. I loved that you can see them make the cheesesteaks and how passionate they are with every chop! 10 out of 10, leave a comment and check out Stella's Pizza in Philadelphia!

I love Stella's cheesesteaks. they are so huge. You can make two steaks out of one. The bread is seated and the cheese is Cooper. Awesome! The wings are great as well. Today I ordered a chicken cheesesteak and it was so dry I couldn't even swallow it . They don't use real chicken breast so it's turn off . Other wise food is great zzz

So we've been hearing a little bit about this place so we decided to give it a try. The cheesesteaks are pretty good. We ordered hot honey pizza and we did not like it at all. It seems like the hot honey was missing the hot and was just oddly sweet. read more

Stella's cheesesteaks is ALL THAT okay?! The roll is always soft, they aren't skimpy on the steak AND they put the right amount of cheese on it. Some places make their cheesesteaks and it's barely any cheese on it. My cheesesteak was HUSKY and seemed like each bite just melts in your mouth lol. I'm telln yall you need to get a cheesesteak form here u will not be disappointed. I wish i hadn't been so hungry and ate it before taking a picture but hey.

Best cheesesteak is the city hands down. Also I would say that they have the best pizza around. Hard to find this kind of customer service around Philly too. They genuinely care about your order and make sure it is correct every time, and if it's not they correct it to the best of their ability. The ambiance is what you would expect, this is a take out shop so it's busy most times. read more

Just moved to the area and have tried Stella's a couple of times now and figured it is time to leave a review. This place has quality, tasty food. The first things I tried were a pepperoni pizza and bbq wings. It was very good and nothing was left! Just ordered a couple of hoagies, and once again, so delicious. The veggies are cut thin, just enough oil and oregano, and the perfect amount of meat! The bread had a slight crunch but then soft as you chew. I definitely have made this as one of my spots. Cannot wait to try more! read more

This place has become kinda the "go to" when the managers provide lunch at work. They're pretty good with the delivery time, great with customer service as the order takers are always patient and respectful. This was one of those times where I wanted to get something different from the last time. Last time was the "Jumbo Shirmp Platter" which was pretty good and tasty. This time I went with the "Super Veggie Pizza" which was fresh and delicious. Filled with broccoli, mushrooms, and onions . . Every bite was one of satisfaction If you're looking to have a pizza night or just a random order out moment. Be sure to give "Stella's " a try and I'm sure you won't be disappointed! read more

I ordered wings and fries from here today. They have great cheese steaks as well and deliver fairly quickly. One thing to note, this is not like a gourmet pizza spot! They have good crust or dough and make good calzones, pizza, wings and cheesesteaks. I don't think I've ever had a complaint but this is like your average neighborhood pizza joint and it's pretty inexpensive though much more when you order on here. I wish you could order slices instead of always a full pie, but otherwise they typically don't disappoint. When my wings came, they were piping hot and so tasty. They also aren't overly sized or seemingly pumped with hormones like other places! Yummy! read more

Hey STEELLAAAAA!! Now that that's out of the way, Stella's is very good. Their pizza is my 2nd favorite and everything else is pretty good except for their gyros. The gyros aren't bad it's just they either put too much meat on them or not enough other stuff so all I could taste was the meat. Other than that, yeah, everything's good. Their staff is always great and friendly and delivery is always on time. I've ordered from here maybe 20 times so far and have yet to have an issue. So yeah, Stella's is a solid place. read more

Easy...repeat EASY 5-start sandwich…read more In from out of town and based on research, a first-hand interview (shout out Uber driver) and proximity to my hotel, I landed on Shay's. Very glad I did. I had the The Classic ($19.95: Prime Rib, Cooper Sharp Cheese, Buttery Steakhouse Seasoning, Sautéed Onions). Great seeded roll, perfectly melted cheese, and grilled onions. Service was great. Went to the shop off-hours / around 2:30 on a Friday. Probably 10 people there, so my steak was served up quickly- maybe 5 minutes max from order to handoff. The staff was helpful and patient walking through a rookie on what to order. The shop is un-assuming. Not tons of signage, not a lot of quirky decor on the walls. I visited on one of the first very hot days of the spring. I decided to get the sandwich to go and devoured it at my hotel. Best Cheesesteak is a hot topic in this town. No real point in trying to say one's the best but some food for thought from an out-of-towner: 1) Research. Ask around. Listen to the passion with which they offer their recco. 2) Highly consider Shay's. I really enjoyed the Cheesesteak and the entire experience.

As an out-of-towner, I've always heard the great debate about who has the best steak in Philly…read more I've tried several of them and I must say if I had to choose one to recommend for anyone visiting, it would have to be Angelo's.

But what took this stake over the top was the bun something about the bun. Another thing that I've always heard is that the line is pretty long and you'll have a lengthy weight. This wasn't the case for me. While there were people waiting, my order didn't take that long. So all in all I'm a fan and the next time I'm in Philly, I'll be stopping by.

Being that I'm not from the east coast, and these are known as Philly cheesesteaks, I was super excited to try the food and even more so when I saw that the restaurant was Michelin rated. 100% I would rather have hunger pains than eat another meal here. The meat was bland and mushy. The fried onions were undercarmelized. The peppers were non existent. The sesame bread was tougher than I expected and super heavy on the sesame... which could've been ok, but because of the blandness of the protein... really dominated the taste profile of the hoagie. I feel like west coast people just have different expectations when it comes to what we expect from our food. I am a foodie and we have such a high standard as a baseline and this was not it. Sorry Philly... we got better cheesesteaks out here. You all should come visit.

I've been to Geno's and Pat's before on previous visits to Philly and wanted to try something new…read more To be honest, I was not super impressed with either of the aforementioned, so I really did some research this time around. The internet led me to Sonny's, which was our first cheesesteak of the trip. It ended up being the best cheesesteak that we had on the trip. We had a cheesesteak with onions and cheeze whiz. The meat was really good quality, very tender, and super flavorful. This really hit the spot - we had been thinking of cheesesteaks for a few weeks! There's plenty of seating inside and when we were there around 5pm, we had no wait at all.

This place had a solid cheesesteak and quick service. We had a group of 6 and all got our food…read morefaster than expected The cheesesteak was good but I'd recommend getting some extra cheese. Comes with a lot of meat The fries were a bit bland in my opinion but they were very hot and were a solid combo smothered in ketchup w the cheesesteak. Walking down the street after eating here though, I saw two other places that i'd probably try before going back

IGNORE ANY REVIEW THAT IS BEFORE 2022, those are from the original shop, not this one…read more Don't be fooled (like I was) This is not a variation on Tony Lukes... The name confused me to begin with and I should have gone with my gut and saved it from this assault of fatty glob. I used to come here and bring visitors to Philadelphia for a taste of a great Philly cheesesteak on the way to the airport. Won't make that mistake again. Meat was overcooked, not juicy at all. Lots of fat and grizzle, almost inedible. If I wasn't in Philly (and you know how it can get) I would have asked for my money back instead of tossing half in the trash. Save you tastebuds and go anywhere (seriously anywhere in philly) and you can get a much better sandwich. Nicks roast pork makes a better cheesesteak and its only up the street near 10th (8 blocks)

There is a small outdoor seating area, but I wouldn't recommend it for large groups because space is limited. They get very busy, so I highly recommend calling your order in ahead of time. They provide an order number, and when you arrive, your food is usually ready for pickup. Since the inside can get crowded with customers waiting for orders, calling ahead makes the process much easier. The cheesesteaks are really good, and I've also enjoyed their pizza. The service is good, and the staff seem to work well together to keep things moving and make sure customers get what they need. Overall, I enjoy coming here. It's not very close to where I live, but I still stop by and order when I'm in the area.

The Philly locals were right...STAY AWAY!!…read more I've been to Pat's over 20 years ago for a quick trip into Philly from NYC. My family and I thought it was good and was our intro to a cheeses steak in Philly. Fast forward to 2026 I was now visiting in from Los Angeles. I did a ton of research prior to my visit and almost everyone on social media said to avoid Pat's. Well, just for the nostalgia and respect to the originator, I took my wife and unfortunately Pat's was not good at all. Maybe if we were very hungry, stoned or drunk it would justify a visit, but even then I'm not sure it would satisfy. We ordered what they recommended, a cheese steak with onions and wiz. Compared to what we had earlier that day, which was Uncle Gus' at Reading Terminal Market, this sandwich paled in comparison. There's no need to ever come back here. There are WAY better cheese steaks all over Philly.

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.

So beyond pissed!!! Ordered our food a american hoagie and cheeseburger club at 735pm and recieved one sandwich the club at 835pm had to call in and ask where my other sandwich was. When they found out what happen a couple minutes later they said they forgot it back at the shop while my sandwich the hoagie has been sitting now for a hour and a half which when it came at 904 the roll was soggy..My husband ate without me and counter girl said manager is sorry and that was it at least offer a coupon or dessert or manager get on phone.. The excuse was we only have 2 drivers well it is not my fault that someone forgot to give the driver my whole order especially paying when the driver first got here. This totally threw me off from this place and will take my business elsewhere.. If a establishment is not ran correctly with the right help you will lose business so I suggest you get employees that know how to deal with customer service and do there job correctly.. read more

After seeing the cheesesteak and cheesesteak hoagie featured on TikTok, I had to try them, and I'm so glad I did! Both dishes were excellent. The cheesesteak was packed with flavor, with perfectly cooked meat and a great balance of cheese and seasoning. The hoagie was just as impressive, with a delicious combination of fresh ingredients and a satisfying crunch. Definitely lived up to the online hype! I highly recommend giving both a try. read more
