Absolutely fantastic pizza! Great service and the selection of pizzas are perfect, they also have mini deep dish pizza like a Chicago or Detroit style I can't tell the difference. I think this is my new favorite place for pizza. It's a little tight on the dine in service but everything is very clean so it doesn't feel bad. Highly recommended!! read more

Great pizza!! Got the BBQ chicken pizza and it was 4.50 but the pizza was very large! I wish it was slightly more crispy, but overall, very delicious and filling. The shop itself has some seating options but is rather narrow. Overall, highly worth it! read more

Oh my goodness! Their pizza is so yummy! Love the sourdoughness of the bread! The thickness! I like that the cheese has a pull and the bread is chewy. It also has a nice crispness from the cheese!! When I was getting pizza a lady told me she amtraks from new York just to hit her craving! I'm not usually a thick crust/deep dish pizza person... but when I have a craving this will be my go to! read more

Tetra Pizza Grill - Burgers Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Headed to roots and needed something on my stomach so me and my homegirls stopped here. This place is clearly known for Pizza but I couldn't risk eating pizza without a personal toilet. The entrance is fairly small and narrow but there's seating in the back and two tables out front for waiting/eating. Service was quick and so was the wait. I ordered: Hamburger with ketchup, mayo, fried onions, tomato's and extra pickles - 6/10 - the burger was YUGE but lacked flavor all around. Even salt was lacking and it was disappointing because the serving size was insane. I would definitely come back to try their pizza or a sandwich but maybe ask for seasoning on my burger next time ? read more

This place is a short half mile walk from the office and I was destined to try the Detroit style pizza. It's fairly small and a narrow show with some two person tables down the hallway. Not much decoration. They had some pizza available by the slice. We ordered a Detroit pepperoni pie which has six pieces. The pie came out about 15+ minutes after we ordered. I was so ready to dive in for a couple reasons. I was definitely hungry but it had also been three months since I had a slice of pizza. Wow. The cheesy crust and the extra sauce on top was delightful. The sauce had a nice fresh flavor and thick consistency. My only judgement would be that the sauce was a bit sweeter than I like. With a spicier sauce, this pie would be untouchable. It was great. read more

I've already reviewed Tetra before as a dependably good pizza joint, but on a recent late-night walk, I caught something that was worthy of a mention here. It was around 10:15 pm when I passed Tetra on a late night walk in the neighborhood and caught sight of one of their tables pushed out on the sidewalk with two pizza boxes full of the evening's unsold pizza. The slices, of all sorts, were presumably left out for the local homeless to eat. Kudos to Tetra and yet another reason to patronize them! read more

Got a BBQ chicken slice for $4.50. The store is pretty small but they are quick with takeout. The pizza slice was pretty large and tasty! Note that they do charge $1 extra for using card. read more

This is the epitome of a GREAT hole in the wall. They are right behind the Mütter museum if you need a quick bite. This is very humble and clean restaurant that I would return without hesitation. Solid food and great staff. read more

There was a line literally out the door when I arrived for lunch. Most were students from the neighborhood schools. I could've left and found another place, but I figured these young adults must be on to something. I'm glad I stayed. Detroit-style pizza is not the typical style of pizza here in Philly. Oh, yes, they still serve flat round pizza, but it's not the star here. The square-shaped Detroit pizza that's baked in little square pans is what you should get. Crispy crust with a lot of cheesy flavor, soft dough inside, and a generous helping of ingredients on top, it's different and good... greasy good! One of the few places in the city where one slice (that's all you need) and a drink will cost less than $10. read more

Absolutely amazing pizza at a great price. Had the Logan Detroit style pizza (no pepperoni or toppings) and was surprised how good it was. The crust was cooked wonderfully with a nice crispy crunch, able to hold up with the size of each slice. Sauce had a very strong and rich flavor. Lots of cheese though the flavor was more subtle despite how much there is. Overall a great slice and excellent value for how good this is. Been meaning to try this spot for a while and wish I did sooner. Definitely want to try their standard pizza and a few more items from their menu. Thanks read more

Omg wow! The pizza here is delicious! This is takeout-only spot. The staff, manager and everyone is very friendly. I really wish this was dine-in as I'd love to meet up with people here. You can get a whole pizza or pizza by the slice. Please be aware that there is a $2 surcharge for credit card transactions. For a $4 slice of pizza, that can be $6. I wasn't told when I swiped my card...and I wish I was. read more

I like all types of pizza, and Detroit pizza seems to be climbing in popularity. I was excited to try Tetra's Detroit pizza for lunch. I ordered a couple of slices of pepperoni Detroit pizza with a slice of carrot cake. They do offer traditional slices of pizza as well. Detroit pizza is thick, so I really should have ordered just one slice. I was almost full after the first one. It was good but not quite the level of other Detroit pizza I've had. I think it was the crust that was lacking. The icing of my carrot cake got stuck to the top of the container. It was a delectable slice of cake, but scraping icing off the container to try to put it back on top was no fun. With so much competition when it comes to pizza, I don't know for sure that I would come back to Tetra. read more

The Detroit pizza is very good here. It's also a decent value for the area. It does err a bit on the oilier side in my opinion but it has a good crisp and nice fluffy crust with good flavor in the tomato and brick cheese. Pickup was very easy during lunch and I had enough leftovers to get 1-2 more lunches out of a Detroit pizza. read more

All right, i'm a Detroit boy and they have Detroit style pizza. I made the walk over in Center City to try the pizza. So i had 3 slices of pepperoni (like Jet's back in Detroit) and a soda, and yeah, it ticks the right boxes. Sauce is plentiful, not as spicy as i like, and that's a matter of taste, pepperoni nicely charred. Now the devil of the matter is the crust. The crust must be thick, spongy, buttery, chewy, and crispy ALL AT ONCE. They delivered on the crust. I will be back. Staff was absolutely fine, it's a small pizza joint and i had the place to myself as i came in between lunch & dinner. read more

My sons and I favorite pizza spot. He always gets 2 slices of cheese. He said it's his favorite because there's a little sweetness in it. My favorites are beef pepperoni and buffalo chicken. The beef pepperoni is always crispy. I don't eat pork and not too many places have good beef pepperoni. I live in Pennsauken , NJ and it's worth the ride. read more

tl;dr the approachable Detroit pan pies are relatively enjoyable and affordable compared to peer pizzerias in the neighborhood From the team behind Evan's Pizza in West Philadelphia, Tetra Pizza quietly debuted in Rittenhouse over the summer. Their extensive menu includes Italian American takeout classics, as well as Greek-inspired sandwiches and pizza toppings. Further, Tetra embraces the Detroit-style pizza rage that's been hitting the city. A stainless steel-adorned counter runs down the middle of the long, narrow space, separating the kitchen from the customers. Apart from a few houseplants and pizza-themed knick-knacks, the room is industrial and drab. A melancholy display of lifeless, thick-crust pies looks unappealing even for the most slice-inclined customer. The turquoise walls turn grey beneath the oppressive, hospital-esque fluorescent lighting, and clanging from the pizza ovens echoes throughout the otherwise quiet space. An orderly line of polished, wooden two-seater tables is arranged in the back. The bathrooms, while clean, strangely lack any locking mechanism. My partner and I placed our order through Grubhub right at opening on a weekday, opting for a Philly More Detroit Pizza (Tetra's version of a meat lover's pie) and Garlic Bread. Immediately, we received a call directly from the restaurant, confirming that our order would be ready in 20 minutes. We arrived according to their estimate, yet we still ended up waiting another 10 minutes before being handed our box. At first glance, the pizza appeared to be minuscule, making its personal-pie-sized takeout box seem relatively roomy. However, in this case, looks proved to be deceiving -- just 2 of the 6 uber-dense slices satisfied my partner's moderate appetite, while 4 sated even extra-ravenous one. The pizza drew inspiration from Chicago and Detroit pies, heavily laden with flavorful grease and a deep layer of cheese sprinkled liberally all the way to the tastefully charred, rectangular edges. None of the ingredients screamed premium, nor did they have to. The plentiful pepperoni and savory sausage stood out among carnivore-centric toppings, balanced out nicely by an even layer of slightly tangy red sauce. Meanwhile, the garlic bread consisted of a long Italian roll dressed with garlic and butter, standard and wholly forgettable. At a hair over $20, Tetra's prices are mildly cheaper than other Detroit-style pizzerias throughout the city, and their hearty pies lean away from the "premium" end of the quality spectrum (although, under no circumstances would they be confused for Pizza Hut or the like). Tetra is nonetheless a welcome addition to a neighborhood in need of a solid, no-frills pizza joint. read more

Bought 2 pizzas Super Bowl Sunday, both pizzas were RAW, ordered 4 extra sauces, only received 2. I ordered thru uber eats and they are zero help. I left a $18 tip when ordered, gave the driver an extra $20 cuz I was grateful. Turns out my food sucked and no refund for the unbeatable food or missing items. read more

Pizza is phenomenal. Just set aside the grease factor and enjoy this fluffy cheesy bliss. The Detroit pizza stands out with its thick cheese baked crust and toppings that require a fork! The classic cheese has a great tomato sauce that isn't over powered with spices. Great spot and good price. read more

Finally we found a decent pizza place in Philly. Trying not to over order from them. Let's start with the sauce. Robust, filled with flavor but not chunky. Fresh crushed Jersey tomatoes are the key to the flavor. We've ordered the Rittenhouse. A Club & sometimes a stromboli. Pizza: sauce is really flavorful. Good amount to cheese / sauce ratio. And the little cup pepperoni are plentiful. Club: I love a good club sandwich. It's one of life's great tiny pleasures. I had given up hope of ever finding a decent Club in Philly. But the Tetra Goddess prevailed on me and created a really great turkey bacon club. Stromboli: 3 meals in one. Yes it's that large and tasty. Honestly the 2nd & 3rd days are even better. We have only had delivery and I was really hesitant to write this review. Yelp seems to be the kiss of death for my reviews. Write one, next order they forget something, send the wrong stuff, or burn whatever we ordered. We have a running joke that we get a place we really like & either they close, stop doing delivery or jump the Shark with the food. 3 months in x1 a week and we are still good. read more

Very very pleased ... kudos because my nc baltimore guy spent 10 yrs trying to find a delish deep dish type pizza here in Philly.. this would made his fav! Really tasty read more

Just relocated to the are and was the first pizza spot we tried. Pizza was ok. Nothing to scream about. Deep dish was subpar at best. Tried again for mozzarella sticks and a burger. Sticks were cold. Not fully cooked and the burger had more rubber feel than a tire. Not a great 1st impression to visit again. read more

Delicious pizza and Cheese steaks. Fast service. Very convenient. Friendly staff! Delicious! I wish they delivered

Don't judge a pizza by its size! This is a statement here at tetra's pizza grill. My Wife and I decided to try this pizza joint we kept hearing great things about the place and raving about how amazing the Detroit style pizza was, so you know we had to try it. We ordered the pizza for pick up, the pie that we went for was the Tetras Special, upon arrival the staff were friendly and proceeded to get my tiny little box of pizza but like i said don't let the size fool you this pizza is a killer. I mean it was thick, saucy, cheesy, thick cut pepperoni cups drizzled with hot honey and a crunchy crust paired this pizza to perfection. It is a must try pizza joint if you are in the area You'll keep calling for more.!! read more

Tetra continues to be an excellent neighborhood restaurant. The pizza and stromboli are some of the best in Center City Phila.

Raw dough. The cashier said she would bring it over. I waited ten minutes. And then when I went to the front to check in it. It hadn't even been put in the oven to warm. My presence reminded her that I placed an order. It was brought over 5 minutes later. The Detroit style slices were lukewarm warm at best and the regular slices were warm. After a few gummy bites, we noticed that we were eating raw dough. read more

New pizza/steak sandwich joint in Rittenhouse Square. Best pizza that I've had in this neighborhood in awhile. The slices were not too thick or too thin. If you prefer a slimmer end crust, you'll enjoy Tetra Pizza. Also, the slices are wide. So wide that the owner asked me if I wanted them cut in half. Appreciated that he asked. Had a cheese slice & a beef pepperoni slice. I liked that you can pick from either beef or regular pepperoni. The cheese was good & golden, & the topping was cooked enough. With a bottle of Calypso strawberry lemonade it all came to about $10. The seating area with tables for 2 is narrow & clean. Well lighted too. (They just opened a month ago). George, the owner, is very kind & professional, asking how everything was. On the way out I told him he'd be getting take-out orders from me! In addition to pizza (regular, gourmet, & Detroit),Testa carries steak & chicken sandwiches, burgers, salads, stromboli, calzones, wraps, gyros, club sandwiches, chicken platters, pasta, lasagna, appetizers, fries, parmesan sandwiches, quesadillas, wings, desserts, milkshakes, juices, & sodas. Looking forward to trying some of their other offerings, & seeing them become a new go-to pizza spot in the neighborhood. read more

Great chicken wings, and the pizza itself tastes high quality. Would've loved to see some more balance. I felt the need to squeeze some lime on my leftovers just because of how fatty everything was. read more

Solid choice for to-go pizza and generally our go-to place in the neighborhood. Really like the veggie Stromboli- a medium will feed 2 people easily. Detroit style pizza is optional and I like that. They have some seating but much. I would take out unless you're stuck. Hint: order the plain pizza and then add toppings. Usually works out better than a specialty pizza where you fiddle with the toppings. read more
