We stumbled upon this restaurant while pressed for time, and were very pleasantly surprised. I had looked for nearby soup online and this wasn't on the radar. The vegetable soup was fantastic and my buddy was pleased with his turkey wrap! Yay! Another option for healthier choices. read more

I got the pizza because "why not!" I took the first bite, and it was lacking flavor. Lucky for me there was salt near by. By adding a pinch of salt, the flavor of the sauce, cheese, pepperoni bloomed! Nice thin crispy slices. The vibe is chill inside. Friendly service. Discount on coffee if you bring your own cup. read more

Worse than hospital food because you have to PAY for it. I guess they know they have captive customers so they can get away with charging obscene prices for garbage. Came here for a medical appointment and was ravenous so came in and bought a slice of spinach ricotta pizza an a bubbly seltzer for $7. The pizza was thin as paper and a drippy soggy mess that tasted like garlic powder and salt and nothing else. There were two tiny bits of cheese and some sloppy soggy spinach falling off of it. It was worse than doggy chow. read more

If you are waiting for your doctor appointment, or just along for the ride with your family member, Gia Pronto's kiosk in the expansive lobby of Perelman Pavilion of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania is a place to take advantage of. While I waited for my wonderwife to complete a comprehensive diagnostic exam which was going to take over an hour, GP provided sustenance in java and bagel to hold my hunger and boredom in check. The line was long, but moved quickly. The cashier/order taker was efficient while offering basic barista services with decent beans. The cream cheese was self serve and the medium roast house blend more than adequate. I was able to take care of business without dropping anything, nor leaving anything streaked on my pants. The wait seemed to drag on and on, but I know my love was in great hands, and we would out on Civic Center Boulevard soon enough to enjoy the waning heat of late August. read more

Gia Pronto - Roast by La Colombe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The pizza was good, but the Maryland crab soup was really good and reasonably priced for the location. Hospitals and surrounding areas normally have outrageous pricing, like $2.25 for a can soda. So if your are waiting around the area and don't wanna travel outside of the building, this spot isn't too bad of a choice. The service was fast and they were pretty crowded at the time. Order at the kiosk or cashier for cash payments and next thing you know, they're calling your name for your order! I'll stop in anytime I'm in this building waiting and hungry. I think I'll go an another slice right now! read more

I went here because I was gifted a gift card during the holidays. I would have never came unless I had an opportunity to go, being that I worked close to the area. When coming into the establishment, the place seems chill, reminds me of a coffee shop but with pizza and had nice r&b playing in the background. It was very busy with customers waiting in line and with workers at each section, however in most of the sections they were just standing around. The rules are chalked onto a wall where they say you can go to any of the sections and place your order, however that was not the case. I was waiting to order pizza but overheard the workers telling the other customers that they have to place an order either through the kiosk or go to the main coffee line to place their whole order for anything in the shop. So I tried the kiosk, which was very straightforward. However, it did not have an option to pay with my gift card so I ended up having to get into line anyways. After waiting in a line with several other people who also seemed confused about the service of this restaurant, I was asked for my order. The attendant at the register was not very pleasant. I had place an order for some pizza however there was no actual menu in front of me because the line that we had to place an order at is the coffee line and only shows the coffee options. So when ordering my pizza I was confronted that I didn't know what pizzas they had available. I heard the frustration in the workers voice and I just agreed to take what he offered. I expressed that the kiosk didn't have an option to pay with the gift card and the attendant didn't care. He just shrugged and continued on. I eventually order 2 slices of mushroom pizza and 2 slices of white pizza with spinach ricotta. Each slice is about 3.40. The pizzas were already made and sitting on the counter. However once the order was place they would put it into the oven to reheat and crisp up again. I waited for about 7 mins or so for my order because there were a lot of other customers waiting. I eventually got my order, served on paper plates which makes sense if you are going to take lunch to go. They place wax paper over the pizza so it doesn't stick to the paper bag if you put it in there. The counter with the Parmesan cheese and red pepper flake shakers was messy and untidy. The mushroom pizza was good however most of the cheese and mushrooms got stuck on the wax paper. Pulling it off was unpleasant. The spinach ricotta pizza was good, but the ricotta cheese was very heavy and thick, leaving an overwhelming aftertaste. Overall, I would not go again. The atmosphere was not very friendly and a bit unorganized. Options were slim and overpriced. I originally wanted to try the curry chicken salad panini but for 12.00 I felt pizza was a better option. I had asked about the container of curry chicken salad and they pointed out that it was a small soup container which cost about 8.00. If you do go, just go for the pizza. But probably just order from the kiosk because you actually have a menu you can see and not have to go back and forth to see what you want from each section. read more

This $12 panini is cold, and consists of some mozzarella and tomatoes. COLD panini with two stingy ingredients. Thank you for confirming this will be my last visit. It should be a crime to rip people off this badly. Certain staff are super rude and condescending. read more

Coffee was delicious. However, the new card machine that they had charged me $58.00 for a 3$ cup of coffee. Valerie found the error upon returning and assured me my refund would be seen the next day..She said the machine accidentally read it as a tip and that it happens all the time..Still awaiting my refund.. read more

The Philadelphia Gia Pronto on Civic Center Blvd in the University of Pennsylvania hospital complex is not good. Really unpleasant manager, several customer were complaining in line, and the staff are stressed.. This place gave me a bad feeling. read more

Had an online issue with Caviar. Called the Perelman Center location for help. The staff there was nothing but professional and courteous. They solved my issue, got my food re-delivered and saved my order being forfeited on Caviar. Can not thank them enough for all their help. Food is excellent. read more

High quality lunch food at a fair price if you are at U penn Hospital or CHOP. Plenty of seating here inside and outside and they keep it clean for how busy it can get around noon. Staff was very friendly and efficient as well. I just ordered a slice of white pizza with spinach and ricotta. I was pleasantly surprised with how tasty it was. Great crunchy crust with plenty of s read more

Not the healthiest but I have to admit, the food tastes good. My diet has changed and I get lunch there every time I have to go for a hospital visit at U Penn read more

Coffee is very tasty and a good option if you are in the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine and would like coffee/tea! Mocha is good. The staff is very condescending. Today, when I asked a simple question to the man at the counter, he skipped me in line. When I pointed out that I felt he was being rude, he smiled sarcastically at me and said "I wasn't trying to be mean to you". He seemed to think it was acceptable to infantilize me because I am a short female. I hope management better trains their staff on how to treat customers. read more

I ordered lunch online. I picked it up off the shelf at the time they said it would be ready, great. When I got back to the office the slices of sausage pizza was cooked just right, however, the peperoni slices were over cooked and burnt. Literally, some of the crust was black and burnt. You knew this before you served it but still put 3 slices of hard, burnt peperoni slices in my bag. This is what happens when people don't take pride in their work. Now I am not a fan of their pizza but burnt, for what they charge- won't be going back, I'd rather just pay grub hub the extra money for delivery- Shame on you Gia Pronto. read more

For the third time the salad I ordered was not available because they didn't have the lettuce I ordered. So once again I missed lunch because of you all. read more

Cool place to stop in for tea, coffee, snacks or lunch. Especially for folks that work nearby or people that have appointments at the adjoining hospitals. Gets pretty busy, but the crew keeps the line moving fast. read more

Nice little cafe attached to the hospital. Go here once or twice a year when there for appointments. Foods good, nice selection of options. So often little places like this attached to hospitals are just snacks and drinks. Here they've got soups, hot food options like pizza, some sandwiches. Usually busy but not crowded; lots of thru traffic of people grabbing and going. So there's somewhere to sit. read more

Soups are delicious and made from scratch. Pizza and sandwiches are very good. If you choose a panini sandwich--they will toast it to order. Breakfast pastries are also excellent. This place is one of the few places to eat when you're at this location-so fortunately the food is good and the staff is friendly and helpful. read more

The service behind counter is rude. Try calling out the order number louder on both sides of restaurant instead of just the one side. It's a big restaurant and there is music and people talking which drowns out anyone calling numbers. Then when I ask if my number was called don't give me a snippy comment about how it's been sitting on the counter for awhile. Also sandwich wasn't that good. Not sure how a red pepper made its way into a ham sandwich. Won't be back here ever again. read more
