Tacconelli's Pizzeria never disappoints! Definitely one of those Philly pizza spots that knows exactly what they're doing. Pizza is what they do, and they do it VERY well. The pizza comes out HOT, HOT, HOT and fresh! The crust is thin, lightly cooked with that nice crispness, but still soft enough to have a good bite to it. It's flavorful on its own, and the sauce is really good too. Everything just works together. The service has always been fast and consistent. Everyone has been friendly, personable and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Depending on when you go, you may have a little bit of a wait, but good pizza is worth waiting for! A couple of things that are good to know before you go: call ahead and reserve your dough, especially if you know you're planning a visit. They're also BYOB for beer and wine, which is always a plus. And having their own free parking lot about a half block away is definitely appreciated in Philly! No need for a huge complicated menu when you know how to do one thing extremely well. If you're craving a really good, fresh Philly pizza with a flavorful crust and delicious sauce, Tacconelli's is absolutely worth a visit. One of the best pizzerias in Philly and a place I'll happily return to! read more

Nothing has changed-still an amazing place!! Just pizza and soda which makes it easy to split the bill. The pizza has a thin and crispy crust. The sauce has a little tang. My faves are the spinach/tomato, sausage and the plain. The pizza is delicious!!! It is BYOB The serves are great! Love when Bridget is our server. The place has a real neighborhood everybody is family vibe Most important thing to know is you have to order your dough in the morning. Phones open at 11am. Some days the can sell out by 12 especially Fridays in Lent read more

Love this pizza spot! My first time here and heard nothing but great things. Make sure to make reservations! They only sell pizza here, nothing else. And it's BYOB as well! Pizza is really thin and you can add whatever topping you want. We ordered two pizzas with spinach. Highly recommend this spot! Place is pretty small but nicely decorated and clean. Servers are attentive and nice! read more

I haven't been here in 20 years and it's as good as I remember! We called a few days ahead to reserve our dough, because they only make a certain number of pizzas a day. You can call at 10 am but they don't open until 4. You can't leave a voice mail to order or reserve dough. You have to speak to a person, which is how they like it. There are no computers, everything is done by hand. They serve only fountain soda and pizza. You can BYOB or bring in dessert. Lots of people were doing that. They are a cash only business so go prepared. There is a free parking lot on the corner labeled for Tacconelli's customers. City parking is always appreciated! You do have to walk about 1/2 a block up to get to the restaurant. Tacconelli's is in the middle of a block of row homes. The business sits under the Taconelli's family home who are 5 generations of bakers! Giovanni Taconelli is so welcoming and friendly. He is a proud one man, one oven shop, it says so on their menu. He makes every single pizza. He also allows you to come into the kitchen to watch him make your pizza in their unique oven. The pizza is super thin and light. Its so light that you can only have two toppings. You also probably eat more slices than usual so plan for that. We had the margarita pizza. Fresh mozzarella, sauce and basil. There are no prices on the menu but that was $25 a pie. It was so airy and not like any other pizza. The edges are chard to perfection. I loved cheese to sauce ratio and the basil was fresh. I brought some home and just ate a slice cold. It was equally delicious! All of the employees were very friendly. Our waitress had been there for 18 years! They have a small staff and a family vibe going on which I love seeing as a customer. Thank you to everyone there for making this such a cool experience. read more

Tacconelli's Pizzeria - Sausage and onions - highly recommended. - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Tacconellis offers delicious pizza in the Port Richmond area. They have been around for awhile and offer an old school pizzeria feel. Highly recommend calling ahead they get busy and it can be a long wait. They do a thin style pizza crust and with that it is recommended you only do two toppings. Any more and the pizza won't be able to handle the toppings. Prices are pretty reasonable and if you are dining in there is plenty of seating available inside. read more

Jumped back to Tacconelli's on a Friday night! Seated within 10 minutes of our reservation and our order was taken quickly. The waitstaff is always so accommodating. Took of dessert to the freezer, cups for drinks, etc. Nice touch. What Pizza's we got: -Special -White -Plain -Pepperoni All were VERY good. Only issue was the timing of the pizza. Two came out 25-30 minutes after our first two. I get it, there's a lot of demand in the place, but that's a little wild on timing. We'll of course always be back, but we're a tiny bit upset about the timing. read more

BYOB! CASH ONLY! Deena our server was awesome! Super friendly and welcoming. She gave us great pizza recommendations. You have to call the day before to reserve your seats and let them know how many pies you want. They only make a certain amount of doughs/pizzas per day. Our party of 8 ordered 5 doughs, but it was not quite enough. We wish we ordered 6-7 doughs. The pizzas are super thin and crispy. We loved all the pizzas. My favorite was the pepperoni with hot and honey. The slight kick with a tad bit of sweetness went well with the pepperoni. The rest of my party loved the sausage and onion pizza most. We would pass on the plain mushroom because it was dry. Our server recommended half the pie to have mushroom and tomatoes which was much better! The crush tomatoes gave the pizza some moisture. Margherita pizza was delicious. I did not care much for the tomato pie because I much rather have cheese with some type of topping. The red sauce was a tad bit sour and salty for me on the tomato pie. The restaurant reminds me of an old pizza joint from the 90's. It's a super homey feeling. Between the 8 of us... 5 pizzas plus tips was about $20 per person. read more

If you want pizza and don't want to feel heavy, try Tacconelli's. The crust is some of the thinnest I have ever had. We got the Margarita Pizza which was our favorite! Our Specialty Pie was white with spinach and chopped tomatoes. The way the spinach was cooked was reminiscent to a Bengali dish I grew up with which was cooked with shrimp typically. Upon entering, it's the dining area and there's no designated area for pick up. I was thoroughly confused and felt like I was intruding a birthday party and other guests. There are no signs! It's also cash only. I will say, the pies are expensive, especially since you're not getting much dough... read more

Terrible service at the maple shade location. Was told that my 2 year couldn't use his streak-free markers. (they only work on specific paper) "that's the owner's rules". Instead of the "owner" sending a 16 year old server to tell me what to do with my kids. Tell me myself. Go ahead sir. Pizza was so so. Orders were sent wrong. Gnocchi tasted like baby food. read more

Tasty pizza in Philadelphia! We ordered four pizzas: margherita, cheese, red sauce with prosciutto and basil, and white sauce with mushroom and spinach. The sauce is very sweet and they put a lot of it, with not too much cheese. The crust is very thin and super crunchy (like a cracker). The white sauce has a strong garlic flavor. The prosciutto was very salty that complements the sweet red sauce. All the pizzas were great! You have to reserve ahead for the number of doughs. Four doughs was just not enough for six people (all men) because the crusts are really thin. The pizzas are $18-26 each. Plenty of seating inside. Really friendly waiters and speedy service. read more

On my bucket list. Went with a friend on a Friday at 6:30 pm. I did call ahead to order the dough. We got two regulars-one with sausage (4 *) and one with mushrooms (3*) If you want Margherita style you can't order toppings. Took at least an hour from order to table. They said they only had one person in the kitchen. Pizzas are very thin and crispy. Sauce was too sweet for my liking. Waitress was very nice. Very much a local Philly atmosphere. Parking wasn't a problem. Glad I tried it and off my bucket list, but that's about it. read more

Tacconelli's Pizzeria - Mushroom Pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Holy smokes, I love it when I stumble upon a neighborhood gem. We attempted to eat here on a Friday night and were told to make a reservation for the next night. We did and they asked us how many pies do we think we will be ordering because they make the dough ahead of time to have it ready. Cash only and pizza only. The pies are about $23 each (no prices on the menu). The crust was so thin and the sauce so flavorful and simple.! I asked our waitress if it always like this, where you essentially cannot just walk in and hope to get a pie. She said Tuesdays and Wednesday's are the best days to just walk in. But beware with the holidays approaching and college kids coming back home to visit that it hets very busy. They have to have the best pizza in Philly. read more

Love this pizza joint. One of the best pizza places in the city. Pizza is thin and crispy. Delicious. Look forward to going back again.

I only get the spinach pie , it's good but it tastes less spinach and garlicky ... still has a great crust but something is missing.

The lady who answered the phone also was running the floor of the dining room. Boy did she know how to take care of a customer. She answered all my question on the phone. Reserved a dough earlier in the day for 6:30 reservation on a Friday. It's also BYOB & Cash Only! The pizza was delicious. The cheese to sauce ratio was outstanding. The crust was crispy and thin. I personally can't wait to try them again. I see why they are so highly rated in the City and on yelp. Even have a small lot for parking. read more

Tacconelli's Pizzeria - Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This Is The Best Pizza I Have Ever Tasted In Philadelphia And Will Always Be Go Ahead And Taste The Goodness!

Above average overall taste. But you need to call in advance to reserve pizza dough? Huh? Tomatoes for the sauce come from plastic tubs instead of the usual metal cans, but there are two nearby legendary pizzerias that use actual fresh tomatoes. The mozzarella and other cheeses are great. The sausage is gristly, fatty, and gross. The pepperoni is average at best and always always burnt or at least dried out. The mushrooms taste canned. The sauce contains tomatoes from a plastic tub as previously noted but tastes good nonetheless. The complaints about rude treatment are invalid. The complainers always have attitudes and chips on their shoulders. We have only experienced polite servers because we are always polite. The waits are long, the neighborhood is crime infested, the parking sucks, and the prices are high. But the pizza will probably be worth all of the negatives. You may want to only drive on Richmond Street and East Somerset Street to reduce the chance of being shot compared to the other roads. Yes, the risk really is that high. read more

I assumed it would be difficult to get a pie from Tacconelli's, so I never tried. I finally set a reminder for 10AM and called in: Tomato pie reservation achieved! They were incredibly friendly over the phone, reminding us that a tomato pie has no cheese and letting us know that there was curbside pickup available. At $16.50, it was a bargain, especially considering how excellent it is. We drove up, called, and within minutes we exchanged cash (that's all they accept) for a box of delicious pie. We pulled away to let the next person pull up for their order, then parked at the end of the block to eat a slice while it was still hot. Oh, man. The tomato was thick and flavorful. And the crust was amazing. When I hear the terms "thin and crispy" or "cracker-like" to describe a pizza crust, I wince. But Tacconelli's thin, crispy crust is unlike any other. Simply delicious. I have no idea how they do it. I like that they only make a certain amount of dough each day. I hope they can make a decent living while doing things at a pace they can comfortable sustain. My husband now wants to go back and try every other pizza on the menu. Maybe all in the same day. Not gonna lie: I'm into it. read more

Very disappointing on multiple visits. Pita-bread like pizza dough lacking substance, flavor. Hardly any sauce. Stale scarce toppings. Very expensive. Selling medium as a large. read more

Wow! One of the best thin crust pizzas I've ever had. The ingredients are local or straight from Italy. The quality of the ingredients are done so well that you can't get more than 4 toppings per pizza so not only for you to taste all of the ingredients but also to keep the integrity of a thin crust pizza crispy. The pies are served one by one as soon as it's ready from the kitchen. Don't wait for all of your food to come out! It's best to eat it right away to enjoy the freshness. My favorite pie is the tomato pie (no cheese) with pepperoni. Was a bit skeptical with this combo but I was completely blown away. My group ordered over 10 pies and I took one home! It's also byob here. read more

Love it here! Original location in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philadelphia. They do have a parking lot at their corner too, which is very nice! Pizza is always good! You need to call ahead to make a reservation and reserve your dough. They only make so much a day. It's worth it. You can always bring alcohol if you'd like as its BYOB. Come to think of it.....I need to order some pizza soon! read more

Tacconelli's has one of the best thin crust pizzas. I grew up in New Haven CT eating Frank Pepe's and Tacconelli's is pretty similar! I must say though, the pizza tastes better when you dine in and eat it right after it's served. The menu is really simple. There is selection of toppings with your choice of red or white pie. You MUST call in ahead of time to reserve your pie. We got spinach tomato white pie and pepperoni red pie. It was a really good combination because the spinach tomato balanced the saltiness of the pepperoni. read more

Great spot for pizza! This pizza was one of the best we had. The white pizza was so good and really tasty.

Stopped in today on my way to the airport. The pizza was great. But the vibe in there and the people who work there and run it... they were equally great. I wish I had an aunt like the owner.

I've Had 3 occasions to try Tacconelli's in 2019 and this seems to be something that will be be my tradition for many years to come. The first time was with a group of about 13 Yelpers who enjoy each other's company on a regular basis outside of Yelp. On this particular outing in the winter of 2019 , it was set up by a fellow Yelper Who decided to relocate to Philly from New York. Alexandra is From New York and her husband lived there for years So these people truly know their Pizza. They set the event up for us by calling ahead and ordering the dough and we truly had a great night with great food and service and we never ever felt rushed. As I recall that evening we had about 10 to 12 pizzas of multiple varieties and everyone loved their pizza. My next visit was as a solo on a weeknight when they weren't terribly busy and I called ahead because normally you have to order your dough ahead of time. Unlike many places around I wasn't treated like I was a slug because I was alone and taking a table. Quite the contrary! I had a really great time with a Margareta pizza. *** On this visit I discovered they have their own Parking Lot just a block away*** Last week on a busy Saturday night, May 4th My significant other and I got together again with A and T and T's mom Who was in visiting from Virginia. As usual we had a lovely time. Our table was big enough for 5 and the 4 pizza's we ate. Service was good and we never felt rushed. What a lovely experience being able to talk and eat and enjoy ourselves without being rushed. It made for a great night Tacconelli's and we thank you!!! I don't know what other positive feedback can be said about Tacconelli's that hasn't already been said but since I drive 30 to 45 minutes up I-95 a few times a year, ' NUFF SAID. read more

Well I have heard great things about this place. I've even been to the bigger restaurant in Jersey. But the only time I bought from the original spot the pizza was well over done especially the white pie which was flat out dry & burnt. It was one the day of the NFC championship game so I'm chalking it up to being super busy but not sure if I'll try again. read more

Ok So The Pizza Is Great The Sause Is Amazing I Consider Going Here And Eat Pizza! The Service Is Amazing! And The Ambiance No Problem!!!

Best pizza in Philly. Try a white pie with sausage and tomato.. it's gonna be hard to beat.

If you are heading to Tacconelli's - you are only going for 1 thing - PIZZA! Seriously though, they aren't pushing out anything but. Really unique style of pizza...thin crust, sweet sauce, generous cheese, reasonable price - what more could you ask for? This is a cash only joint, and when eating in person, BYO. Staple in Port Richmond neighborhood, and a must try if you live anywhere in the city. Lots of history to the restaurant, service is great, and they really care about the community. read more

This is & has been the best pizza in Philly for decades!! I went back to Philly for a week & staying with a friend & he happens to live 5 minutes away from Tacconelli's , so I had to stop & get a couple pies. Haven't been to the OG shop in probably 20 years & not a thing has changed. Remember, they make 150 doughs a night, you have to call & reserve how many you want, then just show up & smash them!!! I've eaten pizza Coast to Coast & Tacconelli's is one of, if not the best I've ever eaten!!! If you're in Philly, this is a must stop! read more
