Chicken panini and fries
Michelle M.

My ANM was late and we were working short so she decided to treat us to lunch. It was a delivery order and it did come fast. I wanted a Quesadilla but they don't sell them anymore. The menus need updating because it was a lot of stuff they don't sell anymore on their menu. They said the panini is similar , not really. It's a lot more breading and it was kind of dry. Luckily we had some French dressing at the job, so I put that on the panini. The fries were fine, can't really mess that up. It wasn't my money to waste, so I ate it. Hopefully they can get their menu together, she said she spent a little over $80 for the 3 panini platters, a Stromboli and salad.

This is the classic drunk pizza place and for what it's worth, it's pretty decent. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could; I've had better cheap pizza, but for a restaurant that opens very late at night it is pretty decent. The pizza itself is alright - it's your average, run of the mill pizza. It's good for a late night snack. The dough is nice; whenever I eat here, I find the crust isn't as hard as some other thin pizza slices and I find myself eating the crust. I haven't tried anything outside of the pizza, but I think I'll only be coming back when it's very late at night.

Is that pizza?

NEVER BUY SLICES, IN FACT JUST NEVER EAT HERE The pizza is not that great to begin with, you know the kind where the crust is a little raw but the not enough cheese is kind of old and overcooked so it comes off with the first bite and is just not very tasty. Zesto is 2 blocks away and their sauce is far superior and so is their pizza and everything on the menu. If you usually get delivery from this nasty ass pizza place, try Zesto. Fast delivery and much better Italian food. So my point about the slices if you find you have to settle for Allegro instead of the many better pizza places, a cheese slice will cost you $4.25 but a 6 slice pie will cost you $15. Take it home and have it later, but don't pay twice the price for a slice of this shit pie. The staff is on the phone, watching tv and bullshitting, so they got my order wrong and I had to return it. That's the entire reason I am bothering to share my opinion about them. If they just listened and got my order right. This review would never happen.

Vegetarian Pizza & Extra Cheese Pizza Slice
Stephany R.

I was trying to support a small business, but don't waste your time ordering pizza. I asked for vegetarian slice and a extra cheese slice. This is the foolery I received. I could've slapped Kraft cheese and peppers on my own pizza instead of paying for this to be delivered.

I have to admit, I do like Allegro Pizza a lot! This place sells the pie-by-the-slice which is great for lunch or anytime of day for a snack. There's a huge selection of beer and you can buy by the six-pack, too! I've ordered catering from here a few times as well... and they have ridiculous specials like 50 pizzas plus 20 2-liters for $500!!! I'll be back again soon.

I got the Cheesesteak. I was pretty much the only person eating a cheesesteak. I quickly found out why. 150 beers, the pizza smelled amazing and the cheesesteak was average at best. If I go back it will be for a pizza and beer special.

The décor is colorful, stylish, and inviting, while still feeling relaxed enough for just about any occasion.

I've come here for a date, met up with friends, and even had a work meeting here...it works surprisingly well for all three. The staff is always friendly and the bar tenders are easy to talk to and know their stuff about drinks. Being right near the Penn and Drexel campus environment gives the restaurant a nice energy without taking away from the upscale feel. Definitely a good option if you're looking for beautiful surroundings, a European-inspired experience, and a versatile place to eat and connect.

We began our meal with cocktails and an Artisan Cheese Plate which was accompanied by fruit, nuts, pickles, crusty bread and the most delicious strawberry and apricot spreads. The cheese selections were unique and very tasty! Definitely a must have as an appetizer or a nosh with cocktails. For our mains, we selected the Spicy Lamb Bolognese and the Impossible Patty Melt. The lamb ragu was very flavorful and the pasta was perfectly cooked. The Impossible Patty Melt was well cooked and the star of the show was the smoky onion jam and spicy pickles.

And honestly, the restaurant itself is SO cute. Aesthetically, I adore it. It has this old European pub / rustic countryside feeling, especially with the dim lighting. There's a bar in the front and seating toward the back, and they really committed to the whole theme. Mason jars, wood details, the menu attached to a wooden board, and dog-themed decorations everywhere. It's very thoughtfully decorated and has that cozy rainy-day feeling where you just want to sit around and chat. The staff were also polite and checked on us pretty frequently. They kept our water glasses filled, which I appreciated. Food-wise, though, this is where things fell apart for me. We shared the mussels and charcuterie board, and I ordered the seafood cavatelli for myself. The mussels were easily the best thing we had. They came with a choice of red or white, which I'm assuming refers to the sauce or wine preparation, although I wasn't totally sure. Either way, the mussels themselves were really good and the broth was flavorful. The bread was perfect for soaking up all that juice. Honestly, 10/10 for the mussels. The charcuterie board was less impressive. It felt pretty sparse for the price, with the usual salami and ham but no prosciutto. Some of the other items also felt pretty basic for what I expected to be a more upscale board. There was even an egg on it, which just wasn't really my cup of tea. Nothing was necessarily bad, it just didn't feel worth the price. Then came my seafood cavatelli, and unfortunately... DAMN, it was greasy. The sauce was much more oily than creamy, and after a couple bites I already knew I wasn't going to finish it. I didn't want to leave a giant plate of food untouched at the table and look rude, so I took it home and gave it to someone else. For $31, I really didn't think it was worth it. The shrimp and scallops tasted like they came straight from the frozen section, and the tomatoes had that oily, jarred quality to them. Everything just seemed to be sitting in oil. The cavatelli itself was slightly overcooked, although I'm more forgiving of that because the shape can have a little variation in texture. But the grease was just too much. So overall, I think this is one of those places where I really want to love it because the atmosphere is fantastic, but the food just didn't justify the prices for me. The mussels were genuinely good, but that's about where my excitement stopped. I could definitely see myself coming back to sit at the bar, have a drink, and chat with friends because the space is really lovely. But if you're coming specifically for the food, I'd temper your expectations. Beautiful restaurant, lovely atmosphere, nice staff. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting or the price for me.

No Liberty Kitchen that night, but we ordered through an app and were notified when our food serviced from Corio was ready. They leave it on tray for you to pickup. The cocktail I had was very good and the bartender was friendly. The comedy show was 'eh,' I'll give it a pass. Some were funnier than others, and you could tell a few were still working on their craft. Comedy is hard. Overall, I'm excited for all their offerings like their tours, nearby beer garden and themed events.

That said, I think Philly, for the most part, has given up on corner store style pizza. Gourmet neopolitan descended pizza? We got that by the yacht load. But we all know that's too fancy for workhorse, blue collar, I used to have to carry boxes to save up money for my Playstation games kinda taste. I'm gonna give them their flowers this one time - NYC knows how to make cheap, solid, go to any spot and grab a slice and you'll be alright pizza. This is not something you can do anywhere in Philly. You gotta know your spots. Most places don't let their dough rise long enough to develop flavor, or they add a ton of sugar to their dough and or sauce, or they under bake everything to get the pies out faster. You know what I mean. You've been through this. You all have a spot where you're like "at 3 am after the club, sure. But sober?" For this reason, I learned to bake my own pies, at home. It's a multi day process. Make dough. Allow it to ferment in fridge for at least 24, but no more than 72 hours. Stretch, top, bake on a stone at 550F, and boom. The kind of pizza I'll enjoy sober. And Carter's is out here doing this for me! On a standard (I didn't ask for well done, I wanted to see how it would come out) crust, it comes out poofy, foldable, but able to stand up to its toppings. The dough i less salty than I would make, but plenty fine and full of flavor. Same with the sauce. The cheese pulls like a dream, and the pepperoni has just the right amount of grease. I think next time I will ask for well done, because this is the kind of crust where you get it a little toasty and whoooowheeeeee, we're gourmet now, guys and gals! You put this pizza in the dictionary and only internet nerds that no one likes would "well actually, pizza includes Chicago deep dish style" get outta here, nerd! We're talking workhorse pizza! I do love deep dish too so that's another conversation, but not the one we're having right now. Carter's - I salute you. You are my spot, right up there with Enjay's, for exactly what I want when I'm a little too lazy to cook, and want a delicious pie that I -never- question whether it's worth the money. And I haven't even partaken in your beer selection yet. Got-damn. I'll update this when I do.
