Great food and everyone there is super friendly. My go to spot for pizza in west Philly.

Basic food with little flavor or umpf. They have plenty of locals eating but when the potato chip bags have dust on them and the shop is dark and dirty looking, you pray over your food and hope to live the next day. It always gets me when the cooks nails are dirty. Small shop and they do lottery so that may be why they keep open. Not returning. They will be just fine. read more

Royal Pizza is a small corner shop in the West Philly neighborhood. I usually come here to drop off my UPS packages bc they are also a UPS package pick-up point. They also serve food and I made a request for a Philly cheesesteak with the meat and bread separately because I wanted to take it on a plane for my brother back at home. A lot of spots in the city refuse this request, so I was happy that Royal Pizza agreed. The chef and the workers here are awesome! Very friendly and accommodating. My brother loved the Philly cheesesteak! He said the bread was extremely soft and they gave a good portion of meat for a very fair price. read more

For cheap hangover food with a average portion sizes and really tasty mega fries, this is your place. I've never tried the pizza, but the sandwiches, hoagies, steaks, and appetizers are all wonderful. The place itself is walk in and pick up only, and the wait times are a bit long, but just schedule to try it when you aren't immediately super hungry or need food quickly. Sometimes they're on top of the orders, but only one cook is in the back at once usually, so high volume nights may be longer. Milk shakes are better than most pizza joints in the area, and I really can't stress enough how good of a deal the mega fries are! If you look at the prices around the area compared to the amount you actually get, these are always bigger and have more cheese and toppings. Split a corned beef sandwich and some fries with a friend and was happy. read more

Royal Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Friendly service and low prices make up for the humble appearance. It may not look like much from the outside (or inside), but I'm always greeted with a smile or a deadpan joke from the owners when picking up food or packages. The food is nothing special, really, but it consistently satisfies, which is more than can be said about many local eateries. read more

My first time here so honesty is a must for me to provide. Ordered two things which was a Cheesesteak Stromboli and Royal mega curly fries. Both looked and smelled delicious and the appearance was very appealing so my expectations were that I will definitely enjoy. The Stromboli was seasoned just right, the way it was made traditionally also drawed my attention, and for a small was a decent size. Those three things made me enjoy majority of my stromboli but I got full off a few big bites. The only thing I would have to point out is the extra sauce I asked for I didn't get imo. The fries too they were really good but could be a little warmer. The cheese's was plentiful, bacon just enough but the ranch I kept trying to look for. Needed more. Don't get me wrong if your in the area and you want a good pizza or cheesesteak, this would be one place to look into. Just for me tho I think unless I'm craving a good stromboli and have no other options, I'll come but it's not that close for my effort to. read more

The family oriented business is so friendly and welcoming. Their meat lover pizza always cheers me up on a bad day.

A great place to go for cheap and fast food. It has existed for many years The location is pretty good and easily accessible. Not the nicest looking joint, but will give you decent fried foods. There is a package service and place to buy lotto tickets here, so it has multiple functions. If you are looking for greasy cheap food, this is tour spot. After parties or a quick bite to eat. This place is consistent and pretty good. Mega fries are always good, but you can also order wings, pizza, and a number of other good options. Very affordable and a go to for food if you live in the area. read more

Always a classic place for uscience students to get some cheap Italian food. It's a little hole in the wall but don't shy away, the food is good for how much you pay, the portions are large and the food is good! It's family run and they're super friendly! The only thing to be wary of is that it's very oily so if you can't stomach it, this place may not be for you. It's also great because it's open late read more

Loved this place when I was a broke grad student living across the street 20 years ago, love it today when I come back to visit friends. No frills for sure, but gives you what you need. Have brought these steaks to friends living elsewhere in Philly and they love them too, not knowing where they come from. I will keep going back. read more

This place is amazing and convenient for all your late night cravings. The best part it's nearby and open late. Although Sunday's they don't open until like 4pm. There is no seating so it's the kinda thing you have delivered or you pick up and save yourself the judgement. The wings and Pizza are so good. Yumm I love their special pizza. They have good specials so sometimes that drives the order. I've also have tried yummy tasty and cheese steak hoagies and they are huge! My boyfriend and I usually have to split one. Above all the best part of this place is their staff. Always good to support small family businesses. The couple is usually hilarious despite how busy they must be. I always pick up my order and come home with a great story about some conversation going on there. read more

Im a first time customer much as i saw this place growing up, i never been there, today i wanted some pizza and i decided to try this place out, And i most say the prices are good and the staff are super friendly.

I love supporting local businesses. The owners/cooks are very kind. A the food is fresh and delicious. This is my go to spot. Fast and reasonably priced. read more

It's cheap, It's fine. Besides the pizza, it's the type of shit you wanna order for delivery - it hits all the sweet spots. Pros: Holy shit is it inexpensive. Might be the best deal in West Philly that won't kill you. The menu is massive in a good way. They have a variety of pizzas, hoagies, platters, sandwiches, burgers, fries and apps. Everything you want. I found them very friendly. My wife ordered the honey-dipped chicken and a short call later, they said they were out and offered the fingers instead. All the food, except the pizza, is exactly what you expect/hope for. They're solid if unspectacular, but hit the spot. The prices for the quantity are a great deal. Cons: I could do without the experience in store. Weird way to run a pizza shop, but normal for a corner store. At 42nd and Baltimore, in 2019, I'm a little surprised, but whatever. Without a doubt are some items not the best. For example, I found the burger to be a formerly frozen patty or a regular kaiser roll. Services with fries and cole slaw for 5 bucks made it a good deal though. On some level, it's a get what you pay for deal. But great drunk/hungover food! Other Notes: As others have noted, the pizza is, uh, different. Breadier with a garlic and butter crust. Think a breadier Dominoes in style. If you're expecting pizza similar to a number of joints nearby, be prepared to be disappointed. But if you're in the mood for some fastfood pizza, this is honestly the spot. Super cheap as well! But, it's not "the pizza" you are expecting. Conclusion: We might have found our new "OMG, I'm really lazy today" spot with Royal Pizza. I think we'll order again or maybe take a quick walk down! read more

Great neighborhood place to get your typical Philly neighborhood eats; pizza, cheesesteaks, hoagies, etc. They are the only place I know of in West Philly that does upside-down pizza, which is a treat if you haven't had that before. The owners (Gus & Maria) are legit Greek and know what they are doing with pizza! read more

First time visit Friendly, warm greeting Limited street parking Sells PA lottery too read more

I love these guys so much! They're so kind, the pizza is delicious, and they always deliver much faster than their estimate. Also, every time I order I ask for a drawing on the box for my 3 year old son and they always do it! I think I end up being even more delighted by it than my son haha They're so awesome. This is definitely my family's go to pizzeria. Thank you for being so wonderful!! read more

I ordered the large pizza I hate to see what a small one looks like I know things are tough right now but come on really!!!

Not a huge fan of the pizza, but the cheesesteak is solid, probably better than abner's and cheaper. I kind of dig the dingy vibe--it's the type of atmosphere that produces a strong cheesesteak. Meat and bread tasted fresh and the onions and meat were chopped nice and fine. Classic family run spot. read more

Really solid cheesesteak. Honestly, better than a lot of the more famous places but I think the random corner stores you find in west and south philly have the best cheesesteaks so definitely give this place a shot! Very filling and inexpensive as well. read more

This is a very solid old school pizza joint where you can get good greasy and deep fried food. The pizza is a sort of heavier deeper-style pizza, but very good. Excellent stromboli. There hoagies and sandwiches are solid. Their motha F'in cheesesteaks compete with any of the top cheesesteak places. I've never been disapointed with an order here besides the regret of getting something so blatantly unhealthy HA! The staff are nice and have character, clearly they are a long time local family establishment. Happy to have this a block away. read more

Really enjoyed the pizza, wings, and cheesesteak! Great price as well - will order from here many more times! Delivery does not take credit card - so make sure you have cash on hand! read more

It was better than I thought it was going to be. It was late on a Sunday and they came in a fast 25 minutes. The mozzarella sticks were still hot and my large Cobb salad was great. I would definitely order again ! read more

Best cheesesteak in all of Philadelphia? No, but in West Philly, hands down! Everything on the menu is pretty solid, with the exception of their fries. They are kind of crappy. Before the days of man vs food, I accepted a friend's challenge which was worthy of Richman gluttony. An 18 inch cheesteak with a side of mozzarella sticks. Why? Because when it comes to greasy comfort food, this is probably the best they have to offer. Just good a, greasy cheesesteak with all the important items checked - fresh rolls, tasty meat, cheese and sauce. The mozzarella sticks are made just right too. Not over cooked and the cheese just oozes out. The chicken cheesesteaks are on par with tops in the city. The hoagies are alright, though I would head for Wawa for a better one. For a heartier meal, do the chicken parm. read more

I went to this restaurant to pick up a package from UPS because it is a UPS access point. The first time I went, the restaurant was not open at it's listed hours, so the second time I returned, I asked why this was the case. The older male employee then proceeded to yell at me that I can't tell him when to open his business (which I clearly did not). When I then informed him, that after speaking with UPS, I was informed by their representatives that Royal Pizza was at fault, he proceeded to yell at me more. This was terrible customer service and then to add to it, they consistently spoke negatively about UPS, which is a partner they choose to do business with. Do not go here if you have any level of customer service standards because I'm sure they treat their food customers in a similar manner. read more

great food and great service! definitely recommend this place! worth the price! run by the sweetest people

I just finished a great take out meal of pizza and cheesesteaks. I called their number. 215-222-1900. The large cheesesteak is really large and tasty. I order w fried onion, provolone and mushrooms. Gus and Maria have been there for about 30 years. Maybe more. His sauce is amazing. I love it on my steak and a little extra to dip my crust in. Call then and it will be ready in 15 for pick up. They also have delivery. University City has some new pizzerias but this one is my favorite. read more

2 of my cousins have gotten the pizza before and threw up. And I got the steak pizza the other day and threw up. We also ordered got a burger the other day and when we got the burger and small steak pizza the food took 1 hour. They said it would take like 15-20 min. Terrible service read more

Delicious! This was my go to place for years! West philly classic Mega Fries, kills it! (fries with mozzarella, provolone, ranch, and bacon.) I get mine with hotsauce. Turkey clubs is great, and the Greek salads are fresh, with a lot of toppings, and Greek grape leaves stuffed with rice. Service is always quick and Gus and Maria are awesome. There are 2 specialties though that truly set royals apart. The first is the chesesteak. I believe that the Royals cheese steak is one of the best in the city. It's pretty much the compendium of all the major cheese steak places, but with fresher rolls, and more meat and cheese. Gus makes his chesesteak just right! Royals also has some of the best wings around. Crispy and available at all levels of heat, I truly could eat them every day. The hots are, in my opinion, the perfect blend of savory wing goodness and heat. They also do a good job if you need a large amount of pizza and wings for a party, and have great pricing for catering orders, I have used them many times. Their pizza seems to be polarizing. Some people love it, and some people hate it. Definately worth venturing in and getting a pizza and wings to check it out, but judge them by their steaks and wings, not by their pizza. read more

Great cheesesteak! I've been craving one and after ordering from Pete's on Woodland ave I was just about to give up and not get one. I looked at the reviews and all the reviews were good. I can honestly see why! Awesome service, great delivery guy, and very good food. Will be ordering from again. read more

Threw half my roasted veggie hoagie and chef salad away. The egg that was included was rotten. Literally had a grey color yolk of boiled egg on top Of the salad. My own fault I guess for ordering a hoagie and a salad from a pizza joint. But NEVER again. read more

I came in to pick up a package (they serve as a drop off location for UPS) and while I was waiting for them to help me, I witnessed an employee prepare what looked like mega fries with NO GLOVES, BARE HANDS!!! Then I saw a different employee handle what looked like a grinder/cheesesteak with NO GLOVES, BARE HANDS!!! Neither of them washed their hands. The first employee came from behind the counter, handles money and serviced me and then went back to handling food WITHOUT WASHING HIS HANDS AND WITH NO GLOVES!!! Disgusting!!!!! read more

I love this place. We live around the corner and it's our go-to. Their pizza isn't your typical philly style, but it's wonderful! And their wings, oh man. Always friendly faces when we go to pick up as well. read more

I ordered a chicken gyro platter and a side of jalapeño poppers. It was my first time ordering anything from this joint. I ordered online from Yelp. The order confirmation said it would take 45-60 minutes for delivery even though I live 6 blocks down the road. Thirty minutes after placing my order the restaurant called and told me they had messed up and just received my order. They were not polite or apologetic. I still agreed to get it. Another 45 minutes later the food arrives. The gyro was nothing special, especially because there was no real chicken chunks in there just strips of frozen I don't even know what. The fries had burnt into the styrofoam container and were unsalted and cold. The poppers were average at best. Probably going to try this place one more time, different items and if it doesn't improve then it will surely lose my business. read more

Great pizza and wings! We live close and love being able to walk and pick up our orders (which is pretty often). I like my pizza a little crispy so I order it well done- still soft but the cheesy gets a nice golden hue. Not your typical New York style, slices are a little bit smaller but it's way less greasy. The wings are fried not battered and there's plenty of sauce. Got their curly fries a couple times too and they were great. Workers are always fast and friendly. read more

I just moved into the area a little over two weeks ago. My first experience with Royal Pizza was picking up a package dropped off by UPS- very easy process, just remember to bring your ID and tracking number. While I was picking up I grabbed a menu for my fridge. Today I decided to order lunch from here. I got a "small" mushroom steak, fries and wings. Let's start with the steak. My lord. For a "small" steak, it was nearly two feet long. I watched the woman behind the counter put it into my bag and I considered telling her it must be wrong. I don't know whose rolls they use but the bread on these steaks is phenomenal. The best part is it only cost 6 dollars. The fries. I got em curly. No complaints, well seasoned and crunchy. Wings. A little soggy, but I got em buffalo style, which is a wet sauce, so understandable. Also, it was 5 full (2 joints) wings for only 7 dollars. They had a lot of meat on them too. I have already recommended this place to my friends. The prices are amazing and the portions are out of control, I have enough leftover to eat for tomorrow too. I will be here again and again if my waistline can forgive me. read more

I ordered a large cheese pizza and it looked like a medium to me. It was fresh and hot, and the cheese was delicious the sauce was alright the the dough was soft overall the pizza was alright. Not the taste I was looking for though It reminded me of a pizza you can find at a Chinese buffet. read more

Extremely good cheesesteaks, likely the best one I have had in West Philly. It might not have the flashiest exterior decor but I recommend trying it out (for years I was curios why I would always see so many cops and UCD security guys buying food here...there is a reason). The owners are nice hardworking people and provide a valuable service to the local community with their UPS pick up and drop off. I am a bit disappointed to see such a negative review from Harrison B...who is giving a PIZZA place a 1 star review on Yelp for UPS services. I'd make a strong wager this guy didn't even buy or try any of the food. Maybe a local pizza joint won't have the same 100% operating times as a chain UPS store or 7-11? I think that's common sense... Not only are the cheesesteaks excellent (they made me try one with Mayo...at first I resisted...but its amazing!) but as someone who has lived in the Clark Park neighborhood for many years, it is extremely convenient for me to be able to drop off UPS packages and not have to schlep over to 38th and Spruce (I am extremely grateful). Thanks Royal read more
