Really nice staff who were extra careful about my food allergy! Appreciate that they’re open late night. The pizza itself was really good, nice sauce and cheese, slightly chewy dough/crust (which I like).

Solid pizza and cheesesteaks that hit every time especially for a late night spot. The pizza is perfectly cheesy with a crispy crust, and the cheesesteaks are packed with flavor and tender meat. Great portion sizes, friendly service, and a casual, laid-back vibe make it perfect for lunch or dinner.

What a way to return to my google eats reviews. It's good to see late night eats back in center city philly. It feels like since Covid, late night eats have been a thing of the past, but this was refreshing to see in the heart of Center city. This place is fairly new, seen it on social media and thought to give it a try. Inside was clean, not very busy (I walked in around 10pm on a Thursday night). I was greeted immediately by the friendly cashier. Whenever I try a new place, I always order the basic style. I ordered a cheesesteak, fried onions and mushrooms, fries, and 1 plain cheese slice . Order was hot and ready within 10 minutes, perfect ticket time. The pizza was solid. Hand tossed dough, good cheese to sauce ratio. Sauce was flavorful, not acid, well balanced. The cheesesteak was meaty, well seasoned beef, rich flavored. The seeded rule was good, nice snap of the outer crust, soft interior roll. The fries were crispy and hot. Now on my own Shenanigator Eats 1 to 5 scale, I give this place a 4/5. Meaning, this is an excellent place that's worth the detour. Perfect for late night after leaving the local bars (open till 3am). I will definitely try again.

Looking for a late night steak or pizza that’s open into the middle of the night, this is quick option. Had it twice since it’s opened, both after midnight. Both times the consistency was completely different on the cheesesteak. Can’t complain to much as it’s the middle of the night, and not many options around. It tasted good both times, however just not the same each time. Staff were friendly, service was very fast. In a pinch in the middle of the night, at least there is a guaranteed spot open real late.

Beef cheesesteak, cooper sharp cheese, fried onions . I used to get provolone, but this combo is my new go-to. The portions are great, I usually can eat half and half later, and the seeded rolls are the best part and so fresh every time. The baked wings are also really good, my favorite flavors being garlic parm and honey garlic. Paying by the slice for the pizza is also very convenient when you’re on the go, and the service is quick and friendly. My new spot when I’m gonna show visitors a good Philly cheesesteak!

This was delicious. It's big slices, good sauce(not sweet), crunchy crust. It's floppy but that only matters to Dave portnoy. The girl at the front was ultra sweet and friendly. The place is immaculate and the windows are finally clean after years of daily graffiti. Very glad that your place is here.
