Pizzata is our top choice in Center City for artisanal, neighborhood pizza. While we occasionally order from chains, this is easily our favorite local takeout option. Their plain pies strike a great balance between thin crust and traditional hand-tossed pizza. My wife prefers thinner pizza, while I lean toward something with a bit more structure, and somehow this lands perfectly in the middle. The large plain pie is also very fairly priced for Center City these days, especially considering the quality. A large plain pie with no toppings generally feeds about three people, depending on appetite size, maybe four if people are eating lightly. The garlic knots are excellent, pickup times are reliable, and the place always feels lively. They've clearly built a loyal neighborhood following. I look forward to trying more specialty pies, especially the Brooklyn Upside Down. What I appreciate most is that it feels like a real neighborhood pizza spot, not overly polished or trendy, just consistently very good. The pizza also feels a bit different from a classic New York-style pie in a way that's hard to describe but really works. We've ordered it in for friends and family visiting from out of town, and people are always impressed. Pizzata sets up tables in good weather for casual dinners with kids. It's also convenient that they're on the Slice app for digital orders. Highly recommend if you want excellent Center City pizza for takeout or a casual sit-down experience. Thank you! read more

Pizzata, your round pie crust shines (cracker thin, crispy, crawnchy, no flop) but the rest.... Definitely room for improvement. While I can't speak for a bulk of their menu, I can say that I was left wishing I had ordered their pizza al' tagglio instead of the classic, "Queen Margherita." We arrived around 8:30 on a Saturday night, not realizing they close at 9, and were among the last customers to order. So, a little PSA!!! Get there earlier if you're out and about on the weekend. The cashier's energy made it pretty clear the staff was ready to wrap up for the night, and unfortunately, that seemed to carry over into the overall experience. Our order took about 20 minutes to come out, and while the crust was addictive, the pizza as a whole felt lackluster. The sauce was your rather basic crushed whole peeled tomatoes that seemed hand crushed and spread thinly over the perfectly crisp crust. And I do mean perfect folks. The blobs of half melted mozzarella were randomly scattered atop like a Dalmatian's spots and despite the menu stating parmesan was supposed to be there, I saw no trace. Same goes for the EVOO. Once fresh basil leaves were scattered atop but lost their vibrancy since the had obviously been added to the pie before putting it in the oven. Rating: 7/10 (the crust is the savior here) All in all, I would absolutely give Pizzata another go. The Roman-style pizza gets a lot of love, and after seeing photos of some of their other pies, they've still got me salivating so I am not writing them off just yet. The Margherita may not have wowed me, but that crust alone is definitely something worth coming back for. read more

Pizzata Pizzeria - Queen Margherita - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Placed a take out order on a Wednesday night and we headed to pick up this pizza in around 20 minutes after ordering. We heard this was a popular place as they won some best roman style pizza and we were really curious about their unique way of slowly fermenting their dough for easier digestion. Margherita - The crust was thin but it held up really nicely and was easy to bite. The classic flavors definitely shown through with the balance of the tomato base, melted mozzarella and fresh basil. What stood out was despite how large the portion was, we were able to eat a good amount of it without feeling overly full. Overall from the quality to the overall experience even after getting it as take out, I would come back to try some of the different pizza options they have to offer. read more

Pizzata Pizzeria in Filter Square, Philadelphia, is a true gem that lives up to its well-deserved positive reputation. Their Salsiccia slice is spectacular--a perfect blend of savory sausage, rich tomato sauce, and gooey (and beautiful) mozzarella atop a crisp but airy crust that is found to be beautiful as well as delicious. I usually prefer thick crust, but this thin crust was authentic and savory. They also offer sandwiches and salads. I went at noon on a weekday and found the service to be quick and attentive While the store itself is on the smaller side, its charm and character add to the experience. The quality of the food more than compensates for the cozy setting, making it clear why this spot has received such glowing reviews. There are only 2 tables in the store, but I still enjoyed the take out experience. I will need to come back to split a full pie with friends. read more

This is where I go to get my pizza fix. I'm a red pie gal and there are plenty of choices. Tonight I ordered a Capricciosa (Red sauce, mozzarella, Italian ham, mushrooms, artichokes, Kalamata olives) which was delicious. Plus,Arugula Salad (Artichokes, toasted almonds, parmesan, lemon and extra virgin olive oil) which made a very satisfying meal. We're happy with the service and never have to wait a long time. 4 tomatoes! read more

Got a regular cheese which was basically a Margarita pizza, and it was good! The dough had a sourdough kind of flavor (not sure what they use exactly) which I enjoyed but might not be everyone's favorite. They have slices during the daytime, but by the time we went they were sold out of slices. Overall good pizza spot. read more

Finally decided to try this neighborhood pizza place for a simple mid-week dinner at home. We had heard good things about the food so tonight was the night. We went through the menu online and chose a (relatively) basic pie for our first attempt. I made the short walk and found the hole-in-the-wall spot easily and got in line. The half-storefront was skinny and there was storage filling in the spots where the two small tables at the front were not occupying. This is not a place to eat in, unless you like the ambiance of a small table on the sidewalk on busy 22nd street or a cramped spot inside. There were three people in front of me, but the woman at the register was confounded by some element of the order, so it took some time. I spent the wait time reading the rave reviews framed on the walls from Thrillist, Eater, Best of Philly, and others. It sure smelled good while I was waiting. The burrata pizza was ready quickly - in fact, it was waiting when I arrived, so it was not hot when I walked home but we wamed it up before serving. Delicious. Crust was thin and sooooo good. Sauce was a little sweet, and the burrata and fresh basil were a great addition. I'll have to try again with a different combination. read more

It's worth the visit just for the dough and the sandwich bread. Really really good pizza in an unassuming place. read more

Since pizzata is in my neighborhood, I decided to give this place a try given they sell some of their pizzas per slice. The space to eat inside was limited but luckily there was enough outdoor seating (and it was a great day to eat outside). The pizza slice came out quickly. The whole slice looked like it had freshly came out of the oven with its char all over the pepperoni. The bottom of the pizza also had charred points all over. The pepperoni tasted delicious on the pizza and I loved how crispy the slice was. The crust was definitely very much thin sliced. There is a trashcan and place to put up your tray outside which was nice since I didn't have to go back inside after I was done. read more

A great NY style pizza joint to serve one of the better slices I've had in the city. Place has a good, low key but tasteful decor indoors that I liked as well as outdoor seating. Service was also good and friendly though it was a hot day and I did wish they had some ice water available. Grabbed two slices, one of cheese and the other of a sausage/pepperoni/ricotta specialty pizza with some hot honey. Both were great. Cheesy, good dough, flavorful, not too big or hard to handle. Just really good solid pizza that we all know and love. With a diet coke and some chili flakes, what more could ya want. 5/5 do attend read more

Pizzata Pizzeria - Slice of cheese pizza and salisiccia (I think? I can't bother to keep checking the name but it's good) - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The worst! After enjoying Pizzata for many years, we stuck with it during the past year or so as it's gotten progressively worse. Did ownership or pizza chefs change? Our orders just this week were so bad that we're writing off Pizzata and writing this rare review. We had two simple large pizzas - one regular and one white. Neither had noticeable cheese and the plain had very little sauce. The crusts were dry and stiff. Are they getting stingy? Incompetent? Their pizza isn't cheap. With so many great pizzerias in the area, why suffer Pizzata? read more

We tried multiple pizzas from Pizzata today and they were all so good! We had the cheese, pepperoni, and arugula with prosciutto. The flavor of the sauce was extremely tasty and all of the toppings were extremely fresh! The crust was also perfectly crunchy and held all of the toppings well. The pizzas were picked up, so cannot comment on the inside of the restaurant. We will definitely get more pizza from here again soon! read more

I ordered a sopressa pizza from Pizzata on national pizza day. It's described as having "Red sauce, EVOO, soppressata, mozzarella, parmesan cheese, arugula". It was delivered to me still hot. It was delicious. The crust is crisp, with little flop. I devoured half of it quickly and saved the other half for tomorrow. But a pizza should not have arugula on it. A different ingredient would have taken it over the top. I'll definitely try more pizza from Pizzata. I was happy with my choice for national pizza day. read more

Super stellar calabrese pizza and tomato pie. I things the owners are Italian and the inspiration might not be NY-style (I'm not sure whether this is their take on Italian or NY or other pizza), but boy, it's the closest thing to NY-style I've had in Philly. Perfect crust, really outstanding and flavorful sauce (I actually was jealous of my husband's tomato pie and tried to sneak a few slices for myself), and quality ingredients. Not sure there's anything really to be improved upon. 5/5 would 100% come back again and again. They also sell a few options by the slice at $4-5. A great deal. read more

Very high quality sourdough pizzas here. The thing that stood out to me were the thoughtful, well crafted specialty pizzas. Highly suggest trying out the sausage/pepperoni/hot honey pizza. Pizarra is a great option for the $20/25 take out price point. Inside is a cute little dining room with a few tables, but most people do takeout here from what I've seen. Super friendly staff. Word to the wise-call in your order and they will have it ready in 15/20 min. Using external apps can be more expensive and takes longer. Give them a try! And try something fun on their very well thought out menu! Highly recommend. read more

We were walking in the Rittenhouse neighborhood and wanted a slice......look no further. I lived in the area for a year and somehow never heard of Pizzata - it's been open for a few years and appears to already have a following. I believe they recently began selling slices. I got a plain cheese slice - it was delicious. Thin, tasty, crispy crust....and a very good red sauce. If you live in the neighborhood....or not, it's worth a visit. read more

Another high quality top tier pizza spot, I'd say Pizzata is a lower tier 5 star compared to the others but is still delicious for sure! Nice crust and cooked nicely. The sauce was very tomato-ey, maybe a bit more herbs and spices needed but high quality nonetheless. Cheese blend matches the pizza well. Staff inside are nice, and there are a few standing tables to eat at inside if you want. Overall really good and worth it, thanks read more

For $26 for a 16" pizza, I really hoped there would be more toppings and flavor to it. However, I want to highlight that the pizza is freshly made and hot when you order/pickup. The service was efficient and the restaurant overall is very cute. But the pizza just wasn't for us. read more

Wow, I am so impressed with this place. The inside is small, but there were two tables to sit at. There were also about 4 tables outside on the sidewalk. No umbrellas, but most were under tree shade. We decided to try two different pizzas, the burrata and the Margherita. Both were absolutely delicious! They were perfectly crispy and all of the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh. The paninis sounded great, so definitely will try one of those next time too. The service was timely and I will definitely be returning soon! read more

Pizzata Pizzeria - The Regina Margherita Pie - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Pizza is pretty good, crust has a nice crunch/char. Quality cheese is used. But- it's wayyy too greasy for my liking and pretty expensive for some reason. For anyone wondering why their toppings are skimped it's because there is a spanish dude churning out pies as fast as humanly possibly in the back. He can't take the time to gingerly lay toppings on each pie when he's making 100's a night. I agree for the price it shouldn't be rushed but it obviously is if you observe the process on Friday night. I won't be going back but also wasn't disappointed in my $5 pepperoni slice. It took 15 minutes. All their awards displayed are from 3 years ago maybe they are resting on their laurels. read more

First, I ordered through the " Slice" app, which we all know really inflates the total cost. Anyway, I was anxious to try the "Brooklyn Sicilian" for a hefty $34.00. It arrived cold, congealed, while looking and tasting like it was left over from the previous day. Very disappointed. Never again... read more

After all the hype, I admit to being pretty underwhelmed. Nothing about this pizza really stands out. On the Salsiccia, the sauce doesn't have a lot of flavor and there isn't much on the pie. The crust is too doughy. The cheese was just there. Pepperoni was OK but not great. Stingy with the sausage and it was just so-so. The Mr. Potato was really a disappointment. Thin, dried out chewy slices of potato and not much else except about 2 inches of undercooked dough. That's not how you make a potato pizza at all. Won't be going back, particularly since two pies was $60. read more

My first visit for a cheese Pizza. The shop was clean and cute. But the person taking orders was not a happy camper, not a smile, hello or can I help you. We were the only ones in pizza shop, so we waited and waited . I then said , hello can we order menu was tossed at us. I watch our box sit on the counter for 10 minutes!! At this point we waited to see if she would tell us it was ready . When she was done texting, I pointed to box and she slowing walk over then handed the pizza to us. wow So now for the pizza, I couldn't taste anything but olive oil, hardly any sauce or cheese. But one thing that was good was the very thin crust. So I went home patted off as much oil as I could put cheese on so, I could eat it. Sadly I wouldn't go back. read more

10 10 10 10! This pizza is some of the best I've had and I'm a lover of pizza. Great crust, great flavor, not too greasy - perfectly balanced with ingredients. Amazing! read more

tl;dr Rittenhouse residents rejoice -- Pizzata is slinging delicious pies for the Schuylkill riverbank neighborhood I've always found the West Rittenhouse sorely lacking in go-to takeout pizza pie options. Enter Pizzata, a spot that prides itself on quality ingredients and naturally leavened dough. The pies at this newly opened pizza joint are flying off the shelves -- Pizzata is only open each night until they run out of ingredients. I ordered my pie at 3:30PM on a Sunday to beat the Eagles game day rush and had no trouble. The pickup was a piece of cake (slice of pie?). A short line had formed outside the door, but with a five-minute wait, I signed the receipt in return for my hefty takeout box. I opted for a Plain red pie with double pepperoni. The pie was a little wonky, and the toppings were somewhat unevenly distributed. Moreover, the "double" pepperoni felt closer to 1.5x (which obviously still trumps 1x pepperoni, but was nonetheless mildly upsetting), but the depth of flavor in each heavenly ring almost made up for that. Yet, just opening the box, my nose was hit with a delicious aroma. Each slice was mouth-wateringly rich, without being overwhelming greasy. The sauce was mildly tangy, complemented by the pleasantly thin, sourdough-esque crust. The crust, while thin, remained crispy without ever feeling flimsy. The basil is a knockout punch, bringing together a solid list of ingredients. The pizzas will run you about $20 -- a tad expensive for a 16" pie, even with the intention to split. While this isn't my absolute favorite pizza in Philly, it's pretty darn good for reasonable walking distance within Rittenhouse. This will certainly be my go-to pickup spot in the future. read more

Pizzata Pizzeria - Plain Pie with Double Pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is a super friendly local pizza place and Pizzata's crust-loving chefs do not disappoint! We tried Pizzata for take out on a Sunday because they had sold out by 5pm on their soft opening the day prior! They are open for pick up and currently have 2 indoor tables and a small interior. We tried the plain pie - delicious and flavorful - as well as the burrata (on which of course the burrata was the star!). The "naturally leavened dough" creates a crust on this pizza is fabulous. It's crispy with great integrity as well as chewy and soft. All pizzas are finished with EVOO and parmesan (which i honestly could have done without). The service was great and we will be back soon. Looking forward to supporting a local pizza joint that opened during the pandemic! read more

The crust is thin and crunchy, the texture is similar to the crust of sourdough bread. So if you are expecting a stretchy kind of dough this isn't for you. Because it's thin, the pizza is very light. I ordered margarita pizza. I was expecting more ratio of the tomato sauce and more basil topping. In my opinion what I got is cheese pizza with some basil on top. Super friendly staff, there are some menu outside. I was disappointed for not getting a tiramisu because it's not available although it's on the menu read more

In a quest to try all of the great pizzas in Philly (probably not possible--there's a LOT of good pizza in this area), we ordered delivery from Pizzata. I'd heard great things and learned that their pizzaiolo had won competitions. The tomato pie was good. Crust is thin but crispy. Sauce was good. Against my recommendation, my husband got a toast. It doesn't travel well and is probably best enjoyed on-site. I really enjoyed the tomato pie, but we need to return and eat some pizza on site to truly appreciate their pizza hot out of the pizza oven. read more

A good experience for a non-pizza-ligious person like me. I got a 16'' Salsiccia Pizza. Crust was burned a bit but still thin and delicious. Tomato sauce wasn't too sour. You can tell that the basil leaves are very fresh. The drizzled honey added a bit of sweetness into the slide; it went well with all other flavors. Just a slightly inconvenience is that they don't offer single slide. I ended up order the 16'' and had to finish the pizze by myself... Pretty full but it was worth the stomach stretch. read more
