I grew up with parents who would ONLY get Apollo pizza. To give you an idea, my mother actually used to diet all week so she could have Apollo pizza both Friday night, and then again cold for lunch on Sat. The pizza is very good, though greasy. It is definitely a signature pizza that I have yet to experience anywhere else, and it is always high quality and filling for sure. It is a very consistent product, and I grew up on it for years. The cheesesteaks became more my thing as I got older. Those can be hit or miss for some reason. When they're good, they are some of the best cheesesteaks in the area in my opinion (better than downtown), but when they're having an off day the cheesesteaks aren't so hot. Fries are hit or miss too. Apollo changed owners years back, around the time I met my husband, and he was not super impressed with the pizza. I think quality consistency changed and it's not as it was, but all in all, I still recommend Apollo as a solid choice if Greek style pizza is your thing and grease is not an issue for you. read more

So I was sitting at John's Bar around the corner right after I moved to Media and I asked the bar where the place to get pizza in Media was and they said Apollo's. I tried it and agree! I have had the cheese pizza, buffalo chicken pizza and barbecue chicken pizza and they have all been great! My one complaint is that the chicken pizzas are considered gourmet and the upcharge on them is a little more than I would normally expect. Other than that I think it's some pretty great pizza. read more

Apollo's pizza is not like every other pizza spot in Media. Their pizza consistently tastes great. I hope they never change the ingredients they use to make their pizza taste the way it tastes. My family and friends in the area changed to Apollo as their take-out pizza place once they tasted it. It also is great that for a large plain pizza the cost is $11.40... When compared to Pinnochios or Little Anthony's, you save a few bucks. Apollo's buffalo wings are amazing.. I am not the biggest fan of wings, because most the places I've eaten them at, the wings had a soggy texture or the sauce was not to my liking. My friends love Apollo's wings too, so it's not just me. Their gyro's are very good. I don't think their is any place in Media where you can take-out/delivery pizza and gyros. Sometimes it does take longer than other places for your food to be ready. I think the wait is worth it... And 95% of the time they have given me the accurate time of how long until my order will be ready. Once or twice it was just an extra 5 minute wait, which wasn't a big deal to me on a Friday night when I wasn't rushing around to do things. It's take-out or delivery only, which is fine with me because I would prefer to eat pizza and wings while watching a movie or spending time with a bunch of friends. A few months ago their was a person working at the counter who wasn't the friendliest. I haven't seen her there for a while And the staff seems friendly now. To summarize my 15 years of getting take-out food from Apollo, is that their pizza has stayed the same. I haven't eaten anything from Apollo I have not liked. Once in a while they get a little busy and may take a little longer to fill an order. My family and friends in the area changed to getting take-out or delivery from Apollo because their pizza is that good. read more

I'm a fan of the Greek pizza here. We have been eating it forever. Plain or pepperoni pizza best. Crispy crust, tasty cheese. Can be greasy because they use real cheese. They have been doing it the same way for years - always consistently good. When we want Greek style pizza, this is where we go (ever since the original Morton Pizza closed). Pick up only. The few meter spaces out front are always taken, park on corner and run in. read more

Reviewing a pizza shop is like reviewing your mothers cooking, we all have our favorites and we think they are the best. That said... Apollo Pizza is pan pizza, cooked on a conveyor belt oven (no judgment here just the facts). As with most pan pizzas it tends to be a bit greasy, but very tasty. As with many Greek pizza places they offer Gyros, which they call "year-o's" in the American vernacular. These are not the "real" Gyros, done on a spit and shaved off per order but the frozen "steak-um" style. That said, they are not bad if you are in the mood for that type of thing. Sort of like a McDonalds hamburger compared to one you would make at home. There is a place for both. read more

Super fast delivery, food is always great!! Have never been disappointed. I think they have another location in NJ too, I was there years ago and they were just as good read more

I ordered for a big group at my work place. They messed up the WHOLE ORDER!!!! Then we called back politely and the man argued with me saying I need to come back and look at the camera to prove he put everything in my bag. Our order was well over a hundred dollars and they did not want to refund us!!!! I will NEVER order from them EVER again!!! I asked for all the wings all flat and they gave me 2 flats!!! I asked for cheese fries and NO CHEESE!!! The Stromboli was not cooked at all, still raw on the inside!!! This was the worst food and worst order and customer service I've ever received!!! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY ARGUE WITH THE CUSTOMERS!!! read more

Apollo used to be my answer whenever we were trying to decide on take-out or pizza. Sadly, they've really fallen down over the last year, and much of it seems to be the result of staffing or lack of supervision. Let's start with telephone etiquette. If you call an hour before the posted closing time, there's little chance they will actually answer the phone. This is a problem, especially when you are calling from State St. on your cell phone and can look in and see employees lingering around, blatantly ignoring the ringing phone. If you call during the day on the weekend, there is one girl in particular who chews gum loudly in your ear and seems to know nothing about the menu. She doesn't hold the phone away from her mouth at all when she yells back questions to other staffers. It is beyond rude. But mostly, it is the food. The pizza used to be great, but now it is too greasy and undercooked most of the time. Picking up a slice of pie should not result in you holding the crust and the rest of the slice hanging straight down. They skimp on the meat content (and now quality) of the cheesesteaks. Their chicken cheesesteak is the worst. If you get a warm wrap, they put it in a plastic container with your chips and guess what the steam does to the chips? The burgers are terrible. I ordered a BLT once and the bacon was very undercooked - how do you not notice that when assembling a sandwich with three ingredients? Lastly, a pet peeve. They put on their menu "we use real whiz." They don't. Real whiz will get solid pretty quickly as it cools down, it has a cheddar bite to it, and it is easily identifiable to the real whiz lover. You can always tell imitation by the fact it has little taste and the texture is completely smooth. It's one thing to use the imitation and quite another to advertise the use of real whiz and then use imitation. read more

*********************************************** *********************************************** YELP HIDES NEGATIVE REVIEWS SO, I'M GIVING APOLLO PIZZA 5-STARS!!!!! *********************************************** *********************************************** DATE: Thursday, 01/15/2015 TIME: 1:43 PM WHAT I ORDERED: Greek Salad I walk into Apollo Pizza. Two men standing at counter. One appeared to be a friend/vendor, the other was an employee. I asked the employee if they served pizza by the slice. He said, "NO." They only serve whole pies. I ask for a menu. I look at the menu and then I ordered a Greek Salad. The employee walked over the the vegetables and HE STUCK HIS RIGHT HAND INTO THE LETTUCE AND PLACED IT INTO A CONTAINER. The employee DID NOT WASH HIS HANDS. The employee DID NOT PUT ON DISPOSABLE GLOVES. I was shocked, but not surprised. I said in a calm, but assertive voice, "YOU DIDN'T WASH YOUR HANDS. YOU DID NOT WASH YOUR HANDS." The employee was pissed off. He replied, "I WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE." His comment meant nothing to me. I was simply trying to patronize his establishment, not go home with a stomach virus -OR- a bacterial infection. I don't know what this man was doing FIVE MINUTES BEFORE I WALKED INTO APOLLO PIZZA. He could have scratched his a$$, picked at a zit, coughed, sneezed, etc... This is cold and flu season. I DIDN'T WANT HIS GERMS. The employee took the container of tainted lettuce and he threw it into the trash. He proceeded to walk towards the kitchen to wash his hands. I thought it was ODD that there wasn't a small sink in close proximity to the food prep area. When his back was turned, I said to the guy, "NEVERMIND. I DON'T WANT THE SALAD." As I was leaving, the employee said to the other man, "I HATE THAT SH%T." I turned and yelled, "I HATE THAT SH%T TOO. NO ONE WANTS TO EAT YOUR DIRTY A$$ FOOD." read more

This is my favorite pizza place and I am a pizza commander. The sausage is the way to go. It's worth a try and I promise you will never go back to cheap tasting pizza again. A+ ingredients. read more

Stopped in at Apollo Pizza with my daughter after the Media Theater because she wanted pizza. As we were walking in, a customer was walking out saying "it's the best pizza!" I ordered a medium, half cheese, half sausage, onions, and green peppers. I don't eat pizza on a regular basis, but my daughter says it's really delicious! She had two slices for breakfast also. She's only 7, but she highly recommends Apollo Pizza! read more

They changed hands. I recently discovered the old Apollo's of Media is now one in the same as the one in Havertown. Will not be eating here again. I made a special trip to Media from Havertown thinking I was going to the same old Apollo's I loved while growing up in Media but this was not the case. I used to love their salads so was going there for one of them. I was so looking forward to the creamy Italian dressing they used to have. Well what a disappointment. The lunch meats are different too, not as fresh as they used to be. Yuck! Why would they not just keep the same suppliers after buying the place from the old owners so they could make the same great food? I would've given it one star but the girl at the counter was so nice I wanted to give her a star. read more

Food has been tasting a lot better within the last year! I used to go a lot and now I don't recognize any of the cooks there, so maybe it's the new employees? There is a distinct taste that comes with apollo that I would guess it right while blindfolded. So when I crave apollo, nothing else will do. read more

so this is my favorite pizza. seriously...my favorite pizza EVER. why only 4 stars? well, sometimes the people who work there are so insanely unpleasant that it almost makes me want to order from another place...but like i said....the pizza is my favorite. plus, it hasn't given me food poisoning TWICE like little anthony's has....so i guess 4 stars it is. just...a smile please? read more

they used to be really good but it's been going down hill lately. they are very unorganized & will leave food off your order but charge for it! they left my pizza out, i had to back for it....lucky i noticed before i left. this will likely be my LAST visit....i ordered buffalo wings & they gave me warm curdled bleu cheese! they tried to tell me it was ok but it would have surely landed me in the ER had i eaten it.....they did nothing to make it right.....NO thanks Apollo, you lost a longtime customer..... read more

See all

Tasty but very greasy pizza. Pretty good buffalo fingers. I prefer Pinnochio's for delivery and Peace of My Heart for carry out.

Best pizza always consistent! Been going to this restaurant for 30+ years spanning multiple owners. The formula hasn't changed. I've tried others and we've decided it's better to drive 20 minutes than be disappointed read more

I am not sure what happened to their quality. The last three times I ordered it was far less then par. The first time I noticed it, was when I ordered two cheesestakes, they had a dusting of blackened meat. Everyone has a bad day, Then the same thing happened about a month later. So last night I ordered a pizza. It was completely tasteless. WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!! This used to be the best place to order from. read more

Love their Hawaiian and cheese steak pizzas. Their Mega fries with cheese whiz, mozzarella cheese, and bacon are also really good. I've ordered pizza with pepperoni, onions, and mushrooms, and they really load the toppings on there. Parking is difficult. read more

The food is decent pending your tastes but the customer service is the worst. I ordered a stromboli for delivery. After about an hour of waiting patiently I called and asked when I should expect them and was told the driver just left. That's not so much of a problem I get that happens from time to time, but when I got my food it was the wrong order so I called back and explained and was told they would send a new one out which also took over an hour. I was told I could get something on the house next time I ordered. I tried to get my bill cancelled but that didn't happen and they said they'd save my number for when I called next time to give me something to compensate but that was a lie. Just bad business practice overall and ever since that incident we made Media Pizza our local pizza place until we moved. read more

Great pizza is you like Greek-style, but not much selection on menu. When I moved to Media that was our go-to place for pizza but the customer service is horrible and the delivery service is the WORST I have ever experienced! On my last experience with delivery, a Monday night, it took 1 hour and 15 minutes to get the pizza to my house (5 mintues away) at 9:30PM! When called about this service, the restaurant had an "Oh well" attitude. Save your money if you're thinking delivery------ go with pickup!!!! read more

Really good stuffed shells, salad, pizza and cheese steaks. That's what we've ordered so far and each time have been really happy. The delivery people are great, the phone people are too and the sauce tastes homemade! Reason for four stars-- it can be a lengthy wait. Don't wait till you're hungry to order delivery because it will be an hour before you see food. read more

Apollo always has been and always will be the best pizza in Media. Greasy Greek-style deliciousness. The cheesesteaks, fries, and salads are all really good too. read more

This is a great bet for pizza, steaks, and even salads. The only small complaint I have is that they aren't known for there happy welcoming staff, but the food is too good for me to care. Plus, it IS takeout primarily, so it's not a big problem. read more

Next to La Forno, I do think that this is the best place for pizza in town. Everything is reasonably priced, and the pizza is fantastic! The parking for this place for pickup, however, is a bit dicey being in a crowded town. read more

I've been ordering from Apollo since middle school, 30 years now. The magic is in the small pepperoni pizza. Hands down the best I've ever had time after time. I recently moved out of Media but routinely take a ride back for it. The sauce, crust, cheese and good quality pepperoni make for an amazing pizza. The crust is to die for!!! read more

Get a pizza steak, steak and cheese were good, sauce was bland, and the roll sucked. You would think everyone around here would use good rolls, not them. read more

This is THE best pizza in town! I live in Delaware but when I come to visit my mom in media I always get their pizza and wings - it's amazing!!! read more

Apollo Pizza has EXCELLENT food! The cheese used is superior and generous. Great service and abundant choices--our family had been patronizing this home town legend for over 30 years! read more

Me and my coworkers love Apollo. The delivery driver is a real treat. I had the chicken parm this time and hot damn it was wonderful.

Apollo's Pizza has always been my favorite in Media. It is usually them or Pinocchios. If we're in a hurry I choose Pinocchios since Apollo's can take some time. Otherwise, Apollo's is the place. Great flavors and always hot. Nice menu so you can get almost anything you want. Parking can be a nuisance but still love this place and have for many years. read more

Whenever I come home from college, I always ask my Dad to order Apollo's because I missed it so much. It has now become a tradition! I have lived in Media since I was eight, and now being twenty, my family has probably ordered here over those years about twenty to thirty times, and each time there is never any mess up and the pizza is always fresh, hot and crispy. It can be a little greasy, but besides that, I love it! The workers there are nice and always gets our orders right! read more

A group of girls at school ordered from here, once we got the order back we started to notice how messed up the order was. They called and told us they forgot to give us mozz sticks okay we than told them about all the other issues missing fries missing cheese for our fries, we had asked and were charged extra for all flats on our wings and didn't get all flats Stromboli wasn't even cooked all the way through, we got a tuna sandwich on WHEAT the receipt said WHEAT n they put it on white! The man on the phone was rude argued and said we were lying about not getting our items. He also said we were lying about ordering white bread. Not sure what type of business practices you teach your employees but you definitely lost customers. Don't Argue with a customer and if you make a mistake that's fine but fix the mistake don't tell the person they are lying. Not only that but we asked for them to drop the food they forgot to give us off and they said it would be TWO HOURS. You should really think about how you treat customers. read more

I grew up here, and this is still definitive pizza to me. Mushrooms, black olives and bell peppers, that's all you want on a pizza, and Apollo's is the best there is. It's good hot, and it's still good cold two days later. The crust, which is so often a tasteless waste on pizzas, is worth eating for it's own sake. I don't know what the deal is about people knocking the guys who work there for being short or rude; I never picked up on that, either when I called in the order (LO-5-3883, I still recall the number from 20 years ago) or when I went in to get it. Maybe I just wasn't picking up on it because all I was thinking about was how good the pizza was going to be... read more

I LOVE this pizza! Pizza is my favorite food. I think Pizza hut was a very good pizza but hardly any around anymore. I love Bertucci pizza, so light. I just discovered Chicago Uno deep dish pizza, it is the bomb, out of this world too. However for just a plain everyday excellent pizza I love Apollo. I love the cheese and the crust. Better than any other pizza in the area. I had a birthday party and I had all my guest bring me a pizza from their favorite pizza place. I had like 20 pizza's that night all from around the Delaware Valley. But Apollo still ended up my favorite. I love just plain or with extra cheese. I am a cheese lover. However, if you get everything put on a pizza at Apollo it is soooo gooooood......the Best! Media Apollo is better than Havertown Apollo, must be made a little differently. read more

This is probably still the best pizza I've had in my life(I don't live in the area any more but when I'm visiting it's not uncommon for me to place an order for pick up before doing anything else!) Amazing, small place with a big taste. Defiantly get a small pizza, something about the larger pies looses the excellence of the crust(I can't explain it,) but I would go with multiple small pizzas as opposed to one big. They have a perfect amount of sauce and are kind people. Drop in anytime you want some of the best in the Philly area! Cheesesteaks are also solid, not the best, but completely solid read more

if greasy, sauce-less, not-so-large large pies is what you look for in pizza, this is your place. but for those of you, like me, who want a quality slice...head elsewhere. i recently ordered a [plain cheese] pie at work rather than getting from my usual place because i was busy and they delivered (i suppose that's a plus?)...but after eating my 2 tiny slices, i tossed the menu so i'd be sure to never make this mistake again. read more

another acquired pizza place, this is about as cheap and greasy as it comes. Still, I love it.

the food is just whatever, a 2 star AT THE MOST. i've ordered different things and their ingredients don't seem to be top quality. what makes it a 1 star is their crappy staff. i went in once to ask them a question about the on-street parking in front of the place and the one guy (out of two who weren't doing ANYTHING) deliberately told me i could park in a space where i would actually be towed. i had no idea he was lying but as i was walking out the door i could hear another staff member comment about how mean that was and them laughing together about it. if you want some food, there are TONS of other delicious places within a 4 block radius of this crap hole. spend your money where the staff at least have manners or even want to make the customer happy. read more

I've heard it from many others, "oh, but the pizza is good," as if to prepare me delicately for the harsh "cold shoulder" attitude that I would be forced to deal with as if guaranteed upon my arrival to pick up my pies. Well, I had been warned. Like I am bothering the guy for coming to pick up my pizza. Like he couldn't see me standing there will he chats with his girl about what to make for dinner. Pizza is not that good. read more
