Because he was raised with the standards of New York pizza, my Fiancé is a definite pizza snob. I grew up making my own pizza every friday night, and so I hate it when pizzas don't taste fresh and are made with canned ingredients and fall under the snob category as well. We've tried nearly every single pizza joint within a 10-mile radius and Drexel Hill Pizza is the only one that we can both agree on as being good.
Their crust is just a little bit springy but not too dense, the bottom and edges are usually just slightly caramelized and crispy, their cheese is tasty without being bland or overly-greasy, and their vegetables are actually fresh! DEATH TO ALL CANNED MUSHROOMS! We love Drexel Hill. Love them.
Even though they trashed up the place by putting those tacky beer signs up, going into the restaurant is actually a really good experience! Don't be taken aback by how horrendous it looks from the outside. The inside is casual enough that you don't have to worry if you're just there to share a pie and head home for the night, but intimate enough that we frequently go there for date nights.
In-person, their pasta meals are AMAZING. Seriously. The eggplant parm is perfectly crispy and they top it with fresh basil and plate it in a way that isn't fancy-schmancy, but doesn't look gross and thrown down haphazardly.
When they deliver pasta, they seem to take significantly less care, with the pasta itself often being either completely un-sauced or entirely over-sauced. They also ALWAYS melt the lids on their plastic containers. Seriously, we order from them at least once a week and have never gotten a container that wasn't melted.
Even though the taste is above and beyond when you dine in, they NEVER disappoint when they deliver.
The delivery guys are awesome, and their food always gets to us in a surprisingly short amount of time. I've also had extremely pleasant interactions over the phone when I've called in to order something absolutely ridiculous, like the time I just wanted a sub roll full of sautéed mushroom, fresh tomatoes, and melted provolone cheese.
Go to Drexel Hill, order from them... Whatever. Just give them your money!
And Drexel Hill Pizza Grill, we gotta talk. You've got to update your website. Your menu is completely incorrect on there. Also, get on Grub Hub! Online ordering is where it's at! And lastly.... Please include some more vegetarian options. Veggie burgers are pretty standard nowadays. Does your potato corn chowder really need to be made with chicken stock? 'Cuz it sounds amazing and I flippin' love soup. I'm just sayin'. read more
