Katerina's uses stale, old, cheap ingredients. I am a former chef, so I should know. Our family has been disappointed with their food every time. It even made us sick once! To add insult to taste bud injury, Katerina's prices are very high for the minuscule amount of food received. Katerina's pizza tastes like cardboard, salt, styrofoam, and ketchup. And three of their extra large pizzas weigh less than half of one Sicilian pizza from Aldo's (we actually weighed them). Katerina's cheesesteaks should be called cheesegristles. They have cheap, imported beef that has so much gristle that it needs to be chopped into thousands of pieces just to be made edible. And the low-end rolls are almost flavorless, definitely not the amazing South Philly Italian rolls that I usually get with local cheesesteaks. Katerina's hoagies have those same low-end rolls and very little meat and cheese, which is a good thing because it is the awful $3 per pound supermarket kind. Katerina's salads have hairs in them. Their chicken products always have rancid, microwaved, frozen chicken that expired weeks ago, at least that is how it tastes. Their seafood is even worse! The staff is friendly but that fact does not come close to offsetting the horrible food. The good reviews must have been posted by relatives and/or foreigners who believe that boiled rat is a delicacy. If you still want to try Katerina's, first read their Food Safety Inspection Reports at the website of Philadelphia's Office Of Food Protection. I counted a staggering 58 disgusting violations within the last 18 months. Ew and yuck! Save yourself the disappointment and possible trip to the hospital emergency room. Eat anywhere else, even a garbage dump. read more

Katerina's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I've been living in this area for some time now and have yet to try this pizza shop until on this day. I was over my brothers with my daughter having a play date and they wanted pizza. So I used the Slice app to order some pizza and cheesesteak special that came with fries and a 2liter soda- it totaled around 26 bucks which wasn't too bad. Delivery on Slice is the worse! I could've drove there twice or even three times compared to how long it took my order to come. When the delivery person finally arrived the kids were so happy! It's pretty bad when the kids are constantly looking out the door and window looking for the pizza man! So the food case and the cheese steak was delicious- lacked with meat and tasted really good. The pizza was so/so and I wish it tasted better- we had a large pizza shared with the 3 1/2 of us- and my nephew who usually eat about 3 slices ate only one cause he didn't like the sauce on the pizza. The sauce tasted too sweet which was odd. The fries and steak was good though- I'd give this place another try and just order the cheese steak and fries alone next time. read more

Went to Katerina's Sat. to pick up an order for a birthday party. The gentleman who was celebrating his birthday found a large bone in his French fries and a large piece of metal in his pizza. Pictures were taken and calls and texts were sent to this place and a man got on the phone and was so nasty, didn't offer any apology, didn't offer any reimbursement, nothing. Stay away from this place. Shame on Katerina's, and Shame on Jay, who I talked to on the phone. He's telling me to contact the Board Of Health. Is he serious? I told him you're serving bones and metal in food, and you're not taking any responsibility. I said the right way to handle this would be to return my money, which he should have offered to do immediately. He said that would mean I'm bribing him. He made it like this is my fault. read more

I am a long time customer of Katerina's and have ordered from them regularly (approx 3x. Week or more for more than 20 years. In all my years of being extremely satisfied with not only their food but their service, my terrible experience today was one for the record books! I ordered a sandwich platter and asked specifically that my bread me extra toasted (keep in mind the sandwich was supposed to come hot) not only do i live down the street (literally 4 blocks) from the pizzeria, the delivery comes...sandwich is cold, bread not toasted...and the bread doesn't even resemble the bread i was told the sandwich is made on. I call the pizza place to discuss my order. The original man who took my order answered the phone (he had an accent but clearly understandable) and proceeded to explain to me that he asked the person who prepped the sandwich not to toast the bread too much because it makes the sandwich look smaller. As i proceeded to explain to him that this isn't what i asked for, not toasted bread and a cold sandwich and how we could rectify the situation, he just sat there and replied "i don't know what to tell you..." I proceeded to explain to him that I'm a long term customer who orders from them regularly, this has never happened to me before and I would like a resolution to my order and that i would hate to never order from them again, he proceeded to tell me "i don't know what you want me to tell you, don't order from us again.." and hung up on me. Surely this can't be the owner...or was it?. In this day and age when we have so many options for food in the area, you would think that a business such as this would want to consider hearing the complaint of not only a long standing customer but someone who orders from them regularly multiple times a week. Let's just say, don't waste your time or money. There are a TON of great pizza places in the area. I will move my business across the street to Wacky Zackys before i EVER order from Katerina's again after this... read more

Every thing about Katerina's is good. Their menu is extensive and everyone can find something they like. I love the white pizza with spinach. It's the best white pizza I have ever had. The delivery is quick and the pizza is hot when you get it. Awesome restaurant. Try it, you will like it. read more

First time we tried it and now it's 10/10 in our personal pizza place rating!!! Pizza isn't greasy, the dough taste amazing! Chicken has very good taste(not as some other pizza places, that put disgusting salty prepared chicken meat) and broccoli was soft, well cooked. I will defiantly order again and try their cheesecakes and salads. If you still debating order from them or not, I'd say " give it a try" read more

Katerina's Pizza has changed. They offer the same foods but the foods are not the same. I ordered Pizza - with Garlic, Onions, and Pepperoni. I called Katerina's Pizza, the boss told me there is "nothing we can do" for you. Nasty and rude. Response from Katerina's Pizza: Hi Prish, we're bummed to hear the pizza wasn't as you expected. Please know this is unusual for us. We spoke to our staff and are making sure this doesn't happen again. Response from Stan Prish: You stated "Please know this is unusual for us." That's a 100% lie statement. You have 42 Reviews with a 1-star rating. You stated: "We spoke to our staff and are making sure this doesn't happen again." That's a 100% lie statement. I have not received a refund yet. Katerina's Pizza Boss stated on the phone - nothing we can do to fix it! read more

I want to say that the food was ready when I arrived at the restaurant that was the only good thing about my experience. We ordered 2 salads a pizza and fries. the pizza had no flavor. the salads were horrible. both salads were supposed to have grilled chicken the chicken they use was a pre sliced processed chicken that was warmed and put in the salads then they poured Italian dressing over the chicken to we guess give it flavor. so now we have that dressing in a creaser and a garden salad and neither of like that dressing so the chicken is inedible and the dressing ruined the rest of the salad. Hence both ended up in the trash. we will not ever return to this place . read more

Undercooked food, and when I called to ask for a fix the owner yelled at me and told me he'd just refry it in the "dirty oil". He literally admitted they use dirty oil to cook their food. Do not order from them! read more

Since the new owner took over this place, I noticed many changes. First was the size. It seems like what used to be large pizza by the sizing of previous owner, now is extra large. For the last couple of times I noticed an aftertaste that lingers awhile. Perhaps they use cheap oil or ingredients. Yesterday, the crust was so thin that the topping soaked through the pizza. I am just wondering what kind of philosophy new owner has in place to run his business like that, but if he means to stay in business, he should reconsider his game-plan. read more

I must admit I like the pizza steaks only because they hae jalapeno peppers lol but otherwixe they are lousy with poor service and greedy . I reside in a hellhole nursing home and refuses to take cash , and when they send the wrong item the refuse to replace it in exchange for the botched item they sent . they are greedy low life thieves. read more

Food is so bland and always leaves me wishing I'd gone somewhere else. It's cheap, but that's the nicest thing I can say about it.

Been ordering for years and they must of switched owners. Lost all their quality and care in the food. Just ordered today for the last time. 2 cheesesteaks hard almost stale bread (obviously not fresh), square cheese just thrown on roll not cooked in to be melted with meat and only 20% of the cheesesteak is meat the rest is the stale bread. I recommend anyone looking at their yelp to go across the street to wacky zackys. Cooks tonight thought they were slick but anyone could taste these steaks were trash read more

Katerina's Pizza - Meat Lovers - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Katerina's on Verree makes a delicious hoagie!! The roll is always freshly baked. Even when taking out my hoagie the next morning, it had a superior freshness to it. Portion size is more than adequate... the take out box is what my friend Michael aptly calls a bakery box. I would return to this establishment next time I am in the 19116 vicinity. I want to try their pizza next time and see if that makes the grade. One reviewer went on google and listed three negative reviews in a 2 day period for receiving cold food and a wrong order. Surely everyone makes mistakes once in awhile, and this establishment, in my opinion, has redeemed itself by me. read more

Katerina's has somehow become my go to pizza joint, and I think it's a direct result of their aggressive marketing campaign, and to a lesser extent, their hot wings. I feel like I always have a Katerina's menu lying around and it's on my mind when I think "pizza". Their pizza is pretty good, albeit a bit inconsistent. It ranges from very good to ok. Never bad and never excellent. I've thought about how they could improve their pizza, but have yet to put my finger on it. Also, it depends on the day. Somedays it's the sauce, other times it's the dough. The cheese is always pretty good, sometimes they could use more of it though. The hotwings, though, are outstanding. They're the perfect size, and always cooked well and they use a delicious buffalo sauce. I am not a huge wings fan, but they are excellent. I've had some other things too, but the only other thing that stands out are the french fries - they are thick and crispy, and they made pretty good cheesesteaks too. Delivery is always quick and they seem to always thrown in a 2 liter soda, which I appreciate, as well as the plates, napkins, and plasticware on request. read more

Order 2 Stromboli's. They wanted a literal $42.16 for two Stromboli's. I'm serious. I just hung up the phone.

Katrina's x excellent for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Very friendly very clean very fast and especially very good. I look forward to going there! read more

Good specialty pizzas -buffalo chicken my favorite regular pizza is ok. Quick easy ordering. They don't have real cheez whiz be warned.

We ordered a medium pizza and fries. The order totaled just over $16. My daughter (14 years old) inadvertently gave the driver all the money on the table ($60). The driver took it. You'd think a grown man would realize a $46 tip was an accident. He did not. He took all of it. I called the place and said something and was told they understood and would figure it out and call me back. I'm yet to get a return call. I called more on principal than the desire to have my money back. Dishonest driver that took advantage of a young girl. I hope he bought himself something nice with his tip. I'll never order from this place ever again. read more

Ordered for the 1st time a few weeks ago, everything was perfect, from the timing to the delivery, food was delicious too!! Highly recommend! read more

Katarinas has always been our neighborhood go to place. We have now ordered twice during this stay at home order and the food has been terrible. The fries we ordered well done were practically raw. Seriously they were not even the light cooked color when not well done. The steak stromboli that we order all of the time was missing steak. A few chips of steak were in it. The fries with cheese had a tangy putrid taste that left a bad taste in my mouth and the kids spit them out. This is now the 3rd place where the quality of food has diminished in the last 6 weeks. It is quite sad since they have always been our 1st choice for delivery read more

We've been customers of Katerina's for years today I went and was treated so rudely I asked for two slices and the white lady working the cashier was so rude she grabbed the slices with her bare hands and asked another woman to put pepperoni on the slices that woman Grabbed my slices and threw them onto the counter and then she grabbed the pizza with her bare hands and put them in the oven at this point I was grossed out but then I saw the same woman get a customers to go order and she threw his food on the counter as well they are very unclean and the manner in which they handle food is disgusting. After being a customer for several years and seeing what I saw today I will never go back there again read more

I placed an order through Ez Cater on Monday and today tried to call and confirm my order today (Wednesday) and ez cater let me know that Katerina's Pizza had "overlooked" my order and would not be fulfilling it for noon delivery ...I called at 11:15am...I had to scramble to find another caterer and in turn lunch was delivered late and I lost my chance to speak to provider and in turn lost their business. DO NOT order catering from here unless you want your order forgotten and unfulfilled. Very disappointing! read more

Katerina's is that last minute buy a quick cheap pizza, a lot of the times I had pizza from there I loved it especially the buffalo chicken pizza and the veggie pizza, those are my favorite.

We've been eating at Katerina's before it was Katerina's and was actually Nicholas Pizza. The owners are extrmely nice and their food is even better. Everything they make tastes better than the local pizzerias have to offer. My family will continue eating here until either WE move or THEY decide to close up shop. read more

Absolutely love this place! They always deliver quickly and the food is fresh & delicious. If you live in Northeast Philly this is definitely worth a try. read more

Tonight was the first time we ordered from here .. the food was delivered HOT and fast which makes me extremely happy and it was delicious!! I got wings a plain pizza and fries read more

Just wanted to put a good word in for Katerina's, they've been our go to place for pizza and wraps for a few years now. The white veggie pizza is quite yummy and their cheesesteak wraps are really good, less bread than a standard cheesesteak on a roll and just packed full of steak. And with the less bread that leaves more room in the tummy for their excellent French fries, don't know what they do to their fries but their a nice thick cut with a thin crunchy outside, wife and I love them. Oh and delivery is fast and the delivery guys are quite friendly also. Unless something changes for the worst Katerina's will continue to be our go-to place for the foreseeable future. read more

This is a nice place. I regularly come to catherinas. Their cheese steak and pizza my favourites. Best option to have dinner after late work. More over service and price very competitive. read more

Just moved to the neighborhood and we were looking for a pizza place..decided to try here and wish we didn't ordered a stromboli for delivery and it arrived fast however it was cold and still raw almost all the way through.

LMAO at the obviously fake bad review, which was probably written by a crooked, jealous competitor. I have been eating at Katerina's for many years but have never "found a hair in my salad". Some of Katerina's offerings are downright fabulous tasting, while others are at least as good as the local competition's. Like people are saying at other websites, there is a reason that Katerina's is almost always busy but many competitors are not: Katerina's food tastes great! They did raise their prices about a year ago to the levels of nearby restaurants, but everyone is in business to make a profit, after all. However, Katerina's still gives you a better deal because their food often tastes the best. This a real review from a real consumer. read more
