We tried it for the first time because my husband had a major craving for wings and several friends recommended Apollo. He devoured them and raved. So definitely a great spot for wings in Media. I got the grilled chicken salad and cheese fries. There was a ton of chicken on the salad, and it was a very generous portion. Came with carrots, onions, tomatoes, peppers, olives, provolone, and a 6inch hoagie roll on the side. You get a lot for the price. The fries had an awesome crispy crust, we did takeout so that meant they never got soggy at all. I loved the fries. And the cheese sauce was delicious cheese whiz so it wasn't clumpy or hardened, stayed smooth and was delish! I would definitely recommend for an easy, cheap, takeout option in town read more

Awful sogggggy efffing pizza!!! I had to put it on blast in my oven to make it firm and crunchy crust!!! I picked up the first piece and all the topping slopped off!!! Bread sticks tasted like they were frozen store bought!!! Nope nope nope!!!! read more

What the heck is goin on with this place? They are now trying to charge you extra for fried onions ON a steak sandwich!!!!! The prices are crazy as is. Did you know they even charge you extra to use a damn credit card!! Nooo, stay away from this place. GIANT RIP OFF!!!!!!! read more

Have lived around the Media area my whole life. Family has been going to Apollo Pizza since the early '70s and it was my #1 go-to pizza shop. They made excellent pizzas & cheesesteaks ,and their Cheesesteak Strombolis were to die for! I even used to buy strombolis to take with me when I visited old friends out of state, just so they could have a 'taste of home' again.They were always a welcome treat. Once ownership changed hands in the early 2000's it just really went downhill fast. My last time there, Fall 2021 iirc, I had ordered 2 Lg 16" pizzas--one with extra cheese and one with extra cheese,pepperoni, and green peppers. So,four toppings total ($$$) The shop had really started to skimp on cheese around that time ,so you had to order extra just to get the proper amount on the pizzas. When I got there and paid the counter guy charged me the correct amount (*see last paragraph for more on that) ,but gave me somebody else's order (with a similar name) of 2 Lg 16" pizzas that only had 2 half-toppings on one pizza; so I got ripped-off 3 full toppings! The other customer that got my order made out like a bandit! In my opinion,the quality of the pizza mainly started going downhill as soon as the shop installed one of those godawful conveyor ovens. The old school Bakers Pride (or were they Blodgett brand?) ovens that they used to use at the shop made a perfect pizza every time. The ingredients might still be there,but they're never going to get the old Apollo's flavor with that cheap new oven; sadly, a lot of local pizza shops are adopting those things. Another issue with this place; Between prices in the take out menu,the prices posted in the shop itself and what they ring up on the register--it's anyone's guess how they arrive at the total that they charge you. During the Pandemic,I vividly recall they would sneak in a extra service charge of $5 on top of their prices.I think it was such a profitable thing for them,they never dropped it. Could be wrong...but just running rough numbers in my head when I would place an order, it always ran about $5 or $10 more than I had guesstimated. read more

Apollo Pizza - Pepperoni and black olive pizza - Pizza Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

This was my goto spot in the 1980's and 1990's. Sadly the crust is nothing like it use to be.

I have always lived Apollos been ordering pizza from then for well over 10 years I'd guess. If not more. We ordered a pizza the other night square with the sauce on top, well done. Omg I've never ever had such amazing pizza it was delicious so good we fought over the last 2 pieces left over for last night. Best pizza ever n the proce wirh my points was like 12.00 u can't beat it !!!!!! read more

I loved their pizza 3 decades ago. Bought them twice a week. Now? Horrible. 2 steps above frozen. New management??

If I could give less than one star, I would!!!!! The staff is rude, to say the least. I used the app to place my order, as the Apollo website recommended: then was called "a dumb bitch" by the owner. I hung up the phone on this psychopath. This same person, then repeatedly called my phone to harass me! I am sitting here absolutely appalled by the way this so-called business is being run. In my humble opinion: I would never give this place my business. Many reviews note that the staff is both racist and misogynistic. Would NOT recommend AT ALL. read more

I just stopped by after over 20 plus years to order the taste sensation of a meat ball grinder with hot and sweet with lettuce. I haven't been in Media for quite some time (live in Florida) and have salivated for this gender for years. Even the phone number has been memorized for years. They delivered on point! It was perfect in every way. Thank you for making my visit to Media perfect! read more

I was very pleased with my Cheesesteak Royal. I wish they would have told me my cheesesteak was done especially since I was the only one waiting for my order. It came with fried onions, mushrooms, peppers, sauce and pizza cheese melted on top. The roll was toasted. It had a very good amount of me. I don't think I loved the meat but it was good. The extras added a lot of very good flavor. The sauce added flavor and juiciness. There was a lot of cheese melted on top. You definitely needed bite discipline to make sure you got cheese with your steak and extras. read more

Pleasantly surprised with how good the crust and sauce is at Apollo's. First time getting it over the weekend, order came hot and fast! Got a plain cheese and buffalo chicken medium pizzas, along with banana pudding. Everything was great especially for the price! read more

It was good, only complaint is that we wanted hot buffalo wings and they weren't hot in flavor. The wings were hot in temperature, well cooked and the sweet and spicy sauce was spicier than the buffalo sauce. The pizza had a good amount of toppings and the crust was good too. read more

Horrible experience. Not only was the food salty and they forgot my blue cheese ( which I paid for), my food has 3 PIECES OF HAIR IN IT AS WELL! I called to complain but no one answered. I guess they stop taking calls an hour before closing. I'm disgusted and disappointed. Never coming back. read more

Apollo Pizza - BEWARE! - Pizza Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

An order was placed online at this location accidentally, it was meant to be placed at the Glenside pizzeria. The staff member was extremely rude and refused to put the manager on, even when the Glenside staff intervened on our behalf. read more

Ordered white pizza. Received tomato sauce pizza. Called and was yelled at as they refused to correct their mistake.

Apollo was by far my favorite pizza ever since I moved to Media in 2003. The pizzas were always incredible, the crust amazing. Saturday night changed that. We ordered 2 medium pizzas, one with 2 toppings, the other with 4 toppings. We also ordered 15 wings. The total came to $63! I did not mind thinking at first, everyone is rasing rates, so long as the quality was the same. It was not. The crust could have been used to hammer a nail in, the sauce was tasteless and the cheese fell off the dough. We ended up throwing out the vast majority of the pizza, it was THAT bad! Will not be returning read more

The workers are very rude when I explained to them that the pizza was cold. The delivery guy was rude and took the money from my hand and lied when asked if the pizza was hot. He didn't even ask if we wanted any change back. We called the office and told them what happened and they said it's cold outside we can't expect the pizza to be hot. Do not order from them for a delivery. read more

I felt tottaly compelled to leave these guys a review. Ive been coming to Apollo for many years now and have always loved their pizza. I moved out of the area a while back but still always stopped by to pick up a pie anytime I was in the area. The shop changed hands and is now under new ownership. Though pizza was still good when the new owner started lately it has been going further and further down hill. The sauce is way too salty and overall taste is just not what I loved Apollo pizza for. I hope the ownership sees tgis and does what tgey can to get back to either same suppliers old owners used or back to the recipe they always made it under. I will then change this review to 5 stars if tgey can manage to get the old flavor back. read more

I love Greek style pizza. That is, if it is made just right. This place has been around since 1969. You have to think that they must know what they are doing. Maybe they do most nights. I may have picked the time to go yesterday when they were a bit off. Don't get me wrong. The pizza I got was OK. But for Greek style pizza to me, it lacked a few things. Thickness was one thing it lacked. You see, if there's one thing I know about Greek style pizza is that if something isn't quite right about the dough in the pan, it doesn't rise properly. I happened to get one of those non-rising pizzas on this trip. It affects the experience if it is not risen properly. Also, not enough taste of the sauce to complement the cheese and toppings. I like a decent amount of sauce, but not too much. I got something less than a decent amount. I mean, it was fine. I polished off a small pizza. But the pizza they served me won't make me want to go out of my way to come back here. read more

What happened to Apollo? Used to be our go to for Greek style pizza, the crust was amazing. Now it seems as though they used pre-cooked dough discs. The crust is dry and flavorless. Kept trying, hoping it was a fluke, but nope. Just not good. Also more instances of picking up an incorrect order. When we call, they have not interest in making it right. Last night got cheesesteak instead of chick cheese. Tried it, but just gross. Have given all the tries. read more

We ordered a 1/2 bacon 1/2 cheese pizza. It was 7 slices of overcooked pizza. A large for $18 didn't seem all that big. The dough was so crispy/hard we really couldn't enjoy it much. Fairly disappointed, back to our usual it is. read more

Just moved here from LA and was so excited to try East Coast Pizza! Stopped at Apollo for a couple slices and they were mediocre at best. On a positive note, the people who work here are real nice. We have much better pizza in California. read more

Here's the deal: you don't go to Apollo Pizza for the pizza -- you go for the cheesesteaks. I moved away from Media after high school, but whenever I return home an Apollo cheesesteak (with fried onions) is the first thing that goes into my mouth. In fact, it's the only phone number I remember from the area. Update: I've had a couple of slices of Apollo pizza recently (home for the holidays) and I was actually impressed. It has a lot of cheese (thus a higher level of grease) and the sauce (though applied sparingly) is sweet, but good. The crust is on the thin side. I'd recommend at least trying it -- but I still think they have the best cheesesteaks in the area. For reals. read more

Apollo Pizza - Apollo Pizza. Where you go for cheesesteaks (not the pizza). - Pizza Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

I grew up in media and Apollo is still my favorite pizza spot. Their plain pizza is unlike any other, I think it's in the sauce. And do yourself a favor and try their motz sticks. read more

My wife and I order from Apollo just about every Fri. night.Usually the food was ok even very good at times.But tonight we became soured on them.Last week we placed an order and they sent the wrong pizza.We called and were told we would get a credit for this week.Tonight we ordered and were told we could get a small cheese pizza as a replacement for the one we didn't get last week.We ordered a couple of sandwiches and a medium pizza also.The delivery came and the small pizza wasn't with the order.My wifes chicken cheesesteak did not have fried onions,extra cheese or pickles which she asked for.She called and talked to someone who told her they would send it right out.Within minutes we got a call from someone saying they would have to do it another time.Ruined our meal for tonight.Two weeks in a row we didn't get what we ordered.Disappointing! read more

This review is based solely on their cheesteaks - I've been here twice, and its the only thing I've ever ordered. I just got back from a two week trip to the Philly area, and ate cheesteaks at a lot of joints, both the "touristy" and "local" places, and this is one of the best. My business partner grew up in Media during the 70s and told me that I had to stop here and try the cheesesteak. I have to say that both during my first trip 5 years ago, and the one I just got back from, Apollo's cheesesteak ranks in the top 5 that I've had. Perfectly seasoned, greasy, and cheesy! I'm already missing it :P read more

So here's the thing. I grew up in Media, thus I grew up with Apollo. I so fondly remember their mushroom cheesesteaks, oozing with cheese and heavy on the 'shrooms, and the pepperoni strombolis which my dad would pile high with whatever other deli meat and cheese we had in the fridge. They get stars for the wonderful memories alone. Sure, the service *can* be gruff at times, but I honestly expect it when I come back into town. It seems to depend completely on who's working; the younger guys seem to have more patience, and they remember repeat customers. Now, I've lived in Chicago for eight years. This city knows pizza the way Philly knows cheesesteaks. Apollo's pizza is nothing compared to Chicago's offerings...I'm so sorry to say it, but it's true. So I'm a bit more picky about my pies now, but it would be unfair to knock off points for such comparisons. I think Apollo's pizza is superior to other neighborhood joints, and that's the important part. And whenever I'm back home, an Apollo cheesesteak is one of the first foods to hit my lips. They continue to do some things very right! read more

It's greasy and salty and GOOD! We always got our pepperoni pizza from here and it always hit the spot. The people who work here were nice too. I think that's one of the main reasons we kept going back. read more

I ordered from Apollo pizza last night through door dash after seeing some good reviews. The pizza looked good so I figured I should try it. I ordered a medium pepperoni pizza, side of fries and an antipasto salad which I asked for them to chop. The door dash worker texted me while he was waiting for the order and said that they were taking longer than usual to prepare to food. That's fine since it was a Friday night and they were probably busy. Once my food arrived I saw that they gave me a normal chef salad instead of what I ordered... to me that is not okay. It's not what I wanted so it's not what I ordered and therefore I haven't even touched it yet and probably won't. Thanks Apollo!! The pizza was SO salty and greasy I couldn't believe it. I have never had this type of experience at a pizza place and really wasn't expecting this. The side of fries was pretty normal, nothing special about them. So basically I spent $40 to learn to never order from there again. I was really looking forward to trying this place after seeing the reviews and recommendations and I was especially looking forward to trying the pizza. Hopefully you all have a better experience if you decide to try it!!! read more

My daughter enjoys the "square pizza" slices here (She refers to Sicilian as "square pizza") but even she at the astute age of 8 commented, "It's good - but not as good as Brooklyn". Sums it up perfectly. Smart kid. Like her Momma. read more

While I prefer the Pinnochio pizza in Media, Apollo Pizza has been a long staple of mine when I require something different. They have Sicilian style pizza which I think is just phenomenal. Perfect crust, dough, and the gravy is just gooooooood. However, I feel their most under appreciated item is their wings. This is totally my go to place for good wings on the go for a sports event, or something quick to eat. read more

My mom and I went to Apollo for a quick bite last Saturday. We wanted to split a tomato pie. We asked to split a small (10 inches) and the girl behind the counter asked "what's that?" I spoke louder since I assumed she simply didn't hear me. She asked again what it was. I told her it was a pizza without the cheese. She was dumbfounded and says "oh, how do we make that?"...She WORKS at a pizza place....really!? Being vegan, (and now afraid to challenge her mentally) I first told her what the term vegan means and said that "I am vegan." I then asked if the sauce was vegan. I said I assumed the bread was. She said "well, we put butter in the bread." I asked her to make sure because most pizza crust is a simple mix of flour and water. She says "well, it's baked, not fried so they have to put butter in." WHAT. I kid you not...I was like "Ummmm, ok, can you ask someone who knows the answer to this-and while you're at it, please ask if the sauce is vegan ?" She came back and said the pizza dough was only flour and water. The sauce is in fact vegan. WHERE did they find this girl!? She also had the nerve to give us attitude when my mom and I gave each other wide eyed looks. This girl was beyond the point if idiocy. read more

Apollo Pizza - Yuck - Pizza Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

A-Okay pizza in the heart of Media. Just a counter inside so you cant check out what the food looks like or see if anything else sparks your interest when you're picking up your stuff. Good selection of toppings and fast service, even delivery. Kind of greasy but it seems like people here ( Philadelphia area) like that. Thin crispy/crunchy crust. Tough to find parking so tag-team it and have one person sit in the car at the curb and one team member hop out and collect the goods. read more

I have been a fan of this place for the past 20 years! Their crust has just the right thickness, could it be a bit thicker for Greek style? Maybe, but then after the third slice your happy it's not because you can polish off 3-4 more slices with ease. Their sauce is always fresh and I believe they use a high quality cheese! They make a great white pizza Sometimes I think they could put more sauce on their pies. All in all, one of the best pizzas in the Philly area... read more

If you want Greek style pizza Apollo is the stuff for you. If you remember Paul Revere or Drexel Hill Style you will love Apollo. Their pizza would make BP blush with the amount oil that slakes off a piece of pie, however that said you wouldn't be getting Greek style if you weren't expecting this. Miss them as there is nothing like it down here in Virginia, a virtual wasteland when it comes to pizza. read more

Pizza is such a personal preference. I happen to love Apollos pizza and find the quality to be consistent. I had the bad luck of buying an italian hoagie and a cheesteak there last monday night. Both were lousy. No tomato, no seasoning, no taste. I'll try them again for pizza but if I GET ONE MORE LOUSY ATTITUDE FROM THEM WHEN I CALL IN MY ORDER, I'M THROUGH! WAKE UP APOLLO...THIS IS THE TYPE OF THING THAT CLOSES DOWN A SMALL BUSINESS! read more

If you need heart clogging this is a good place to start. Love their chicken cheese steak, very meaty. Onion rings are delicious. Pizza is greasy greek style and it is good. If you order their pizza I would order a medium or personal. The pizza seems to come out better tasting when it is cooked more due to its smaller size. Additionally, I love getting fresh onions and green peppers on their pie. Service levels vary depending who assists you. read more
