    Slice of plain, the staple of a pizza place.

    This pizza place suffers from what many do, gauging prices for pizza that sits out waiting to be bought. It seems busy enough as to where you wouldn't have old pizza, yet it still tastes like yesterday's pie. The crust is hard, and poor texture. The sauce is lacking flavor and slightly on the sweeter side. The seating area is normally well kept and clean. Service/Staff are always very polite and friendly. A slice is almost $5 which is egregious for this quality. Neighboring competition in center city ranges from $2.50 - $4.00 Randazzo's or Zio's would be better options, and far more affordable. Garlic knots are merely bread with a bit of finished Parmesan cheese. Would 'knot' suggest, barely any garlic flavor, or any flavor at all.

    simple classic pizza place that's perfect for grabbing a quick slice! i got a bbq chicken slice and my friend had a sausage slice. my slice was rather dry, but my friend enjoyed his sausage slice. he said it reminded him a little of nyc's dollar slices (but it was more expensive than a dollar...) staff was friendly, the seating reminded me of diner style. we opted to eat in the dining area, but it was quite dirty and smelled like a restroom. i will most likely not be back unless it is to grab a quick bite out of convenience.

    Was able to try a hoagie after recommended to try this place. It was above average for sure but not super memorable. The roll was fresh as were all the ingredients, but it was a bit bland. Maybe no or little condiments or seasonings. Not spectacular but a decent place to order from. Price was a little high but it is decent quality food. Good size hoagie as well. Will try the pizza next and adjust if needed. Thanks

    Joe's Pizza is what I needed for a late night. One of the places you can get late night pizza in the city. They sell pizza by the slice and it comes out piping hot and fteature several different toppings of pizza. Service was great and has an old school style feel to the restaurant.

    Been walking past Joe's bright and early at 10:30AM after I finish hot yoga for a little longer than 2 years now. I finally caved in and grabbed a slice while I was waiting for my ride. 10/10 crust, toppings and size was on point. Was so fresh as they just had opened. Would reccomend to a friend, will be back again. Great pies my friends.

    Joe's pizza is conveniently in center city. I love how they sell per slice. The pizza crust was crunchy. I got the veggie pizza which had a ton of toppings. They put my slice in an oven and it came out super warm and gooey. Joe's pizza is so old school with their cash register from the 60s to their pizza coupons!

    The crust is excellent and crispy and the slices aren't too small.

    As far as casual pizza goes in the Rittenhouse area I would say this is the best. We don't have many options here with the few being Joe's, Tower Pizza (avoid at all costs), and Alice Pizza (which I gave a 1-star review to on Yelp that you can find). Others are gourmet style like Pizzaria Vetri. At Joe's the ambiance is more than a counter service, casual, run of the mill shop. The walls are decorated with Italian fixtures, an Italian desert menu, and a seating area slightly disconnected from the cashier making for an experience that can transport you away from the busy Center City streets literally outside their door. During the current World Cup they constantly have soccer playing. As for the pizza, it's $4 a slice which runs average, there's a good selection, and it actually tastes quite delicious. I always get a free cup of water and unlike most places they give a very large cup filled with ice. Ask for a loyalty card where you buy a certain number of items and get a free pizza. Extra pros: ~Very friendly staff ~Ricotta and Spinach and Pineapple and Pepperoni slices. ~I've never really seen it crowded which adds to the ability to escape the city ~The crowd that comes here isn't obnoxious. Cons: ~Everything is done on a 4 star level and they have room for improvement in all aspects.

I really wish they would put garlic bread in their menu because I would be here more often! Maybe something for Paulie to consider? Anyway, if you haven't grabbed a slice from here, you're missing out. Do it grab a slice! The moots is very cheesy and garlic not greasy at all. The Freddy pepperoni is a must with the hot honey. I went different today and got the regular pep. It was good but go for the squared Pep with hot honey, the Mootz or sausage ! (Came here to say Hellboy² is my fav. )

I had the Mootz pizza, it was so immaculate that I had a dream about it today... a whopping 449 days after I had that pizza. I searched through a dozen pizza shops on Yelp and looked through pics of their interiors before I was able to figure out that it was Paulie Gee's that I ate at so I could write this review. I'm not a cheese pizza guy, but I can appreciate a really good one. If you enjoy a quality cheese pull (IYKYK) and garlicky goodness then get the Mootz... in fact get 2 bc that one slice is going to be gone way too fast. If I'm EVER in Philly again I'm bee-lining (or is it v-lining?) straight to Paulie Gee's to get 2 slices of the Mootz.

    Pizzeria Beddia is my top recommendation for a pizza dine-in experience in Philadelphia, and my…read morego-to spot for a memorable night out in Fishtown. While I might choose another place for takeout, when the goal is a night of pizza, wine, great atmosphere, and authentic neighborhood vibes, this is usually where we end up. The space is bright, industrial, airy, and thoughtfully designed but unforced. White walls, warm wood, considered lighting, and a floor plan with real breathing room. The vibe recalls Bucktown, Wicker Park, Williamsburg, and Greenpoint: design-forward but genuinely local. There's a great bar, and booths near the kitchen with glass windows that let you watch the staff. Our three-year-old was mesmerized, and the staff was warm and playful, smiling and waving while they cooked. A small detail, but memorable. The crowd feels local. Good music, friendly people, hip but never pretentious. It's just a fun place to be with great service, too. The food is outstanding. We usually order the chicories caesar with grana padano and breadcrumbs, and the lettuce salad with shaved vegetables and creamy oregano dressing. For pizza, we love the arrabbiata (the Angry pie) and tomato pie with sausage and pickled chilies. My wife enjoys the ice cream. A note on bringing kids: I don't think this is a family restaurant, but if your kids are curious and well-behaved, it's absolutely worth bringing them earlier in the evening. We've gone around 4:30 or 5:00 on weekends and always felt comfortable. One time, our daughter had a full meltdown, and we were mortified, but the staff couldn't have been cooler. They packed everything to go, kindly and without any judgment. That kind of grace is hard to fake, and it genuinely stuck with us. Pricing is fair for the quality of the food and the experience. Places like this can seem overrated or overpriced, but this one doesn't. It offers real value for a memorable night out. The whole restaurant feels like a microcosm of Philadelphia's progressive, creative side. There's real ambition behind it, but it still feels human and grounded, nothing sterile, nothing corporate, nothing over-engineered. Just smart people building a cool neighborhood place that others actually want to spend time in. Oh, and make a reservation. Great spot, Joe. We'll be back soon. Thank you!

We walked in…read morewithout a reservation on a Tuesday night with hopes of being seated (Philly is still covered in snow, so our hopes were high) and got a nice little table in the corner right away. The hostess took our coats (a nice touch!) and then a rotation of two servers explained the specials and we ordered. I love that the menu is on the shorter side and they rotate the pizza offerings, so even if you're visiting on a regular basis, you'll always be able to try something new. Additionally, when a menu is only about 2 pages, you know everything on those two pages is top notch, as was the case at Pizzeria Beddia. This evening we got the meatballs (didn't take a photo, was too excited, but they were HUGE and excellent) and the beef, pork and veal balls with a rich red sauce was outstanding. Came in an order of 2 but one was plenty for each of us. The Pizza we got had potatoes on it, and we added sausage per the servers recommendation, and it was cooked perfectly and all of the flavors blended so well together. We are so lucky to have an amazing (and nationally recognized!) pizza spot in the neighborhood and it's always nice when you can walk in without a reservation from time to time.

We ordered two of the famous spicy caesar salads (must order!!), a ricotta toast, a White Claw pizza, and a finished off our meal sharing two chocolate budinos. The White Claw is a pretty classic white pizza, mozzarella and swirls of basil pesto; the crust is amazing! It pairs perfectly with the salad. The ricotta toast is decadent and addicting, but a little bit goes a long way. The chocolate budino was outstanding - sweet, with hints of espresso. We won't talk about how I ended up with some of it on my white turtleneck... Service was friendly and QUICK! We ordered, and I swear we had our first dishes in less than 10 minutes. The server was a doll, though I can't recall his name. Downside of Prunella, like anywhere in Center City, is there is no parking. Upside, is you're just a short walk from the 13th St. Septa Station, and you're literally equidistant from Broad and Market streets. Pro-tip: Killer happy hour specials, but only at the bar. Good selection of beverages, if you're into that type of thing. Come hungry, leave happy, and maybe don't wear white.

    EXCELLENT LATE-NIGHT STOP! MUST TRY!…read more We walked in about an hour before closing on a Thursday night--never an ideal entrance. You know the look. The polite smile that says "it's fine" while the eyes say "it is absolutely not." Totally understandable. No one loves a near-close order. I even acknowledged it out loud--apologized, explained we weren't from the area, and that we were just trying to grab a quick bite because it was one of the few places still open. She said it was okay. Her face said otherwise. Fair enough. Here's where it turned around. The pizza came out hot, fresh, and legitimately impressive. Not "good for late night" good--just plain good. Every bite was fresh, the ingredients tasted clean, and the pizza clearly hadn't been rushed or phoned in despite the timing. Hunger probably helped, but even factoring that out, this was a standout. Honestly, I was kicking myself for not ordering an extra one to go before leaving the city. That's how good it was. We did try to get drinks, but were told the soda machine was down. The nozzles were off, so I'm guessing it was a cleaning/end-of-night thing. I won't ding them for it--though let's be real, tossing nozzles in sanitizer isn't exactly a marathon. Still, not a deal-breaker. Restaurant was clean, but of course, they were near closing. I tipped her a few bucks for staying late, and left genuinely satisfied. Bottom line: the food carried this experience completely. If you're visiting Philadelphia and need a reliable, fresh, late-night bite, &Pizza is absolutely worth the stop. Sometimes the places you expect the least end up delivering the most. I plan to 100000% return (and it'll probably be near closing time again, too)

I was immediately seated upon arriving to Pizzeria Vetri. I was asked if I wanted to sit at the bar, at a table, or at the pizza counter. I chose the pizza counter so that I could watch staff making pizzas. As I was there on my own, the serving staff continued to stop by and check on me.

They also sell pizza kits so that you can make your own pizza at home. Pizzeria Vetri was created to celebrate the art of authentic pizza making.
