Reviews of Lorenzo & Sons Pizza

Excellent pizza! So far , this is the best pizza I've had in Philly. Dave portnoy should have given them a much higher score. Got the xl pizza to go. I coildnt believe how every single bite of every slice was consistently perfect. Each bite had the perfect amount of cheese and sauce all the way to the crust, plus the pizza was actually cooked to perfection, bravo! 🤌🤌🤌 10 out of 10 stars here!!! To top it off, from the time we parked to the time we left with pizza in hand was only about 20 minutes on a Saturday!! Excellent!!! This is my new pizza spot in Philly!

$6 for a slice of only cheese which kinda sucked cause I'm a 🍕 girl but it was def worth it. The slice is huge and they stay open till 3 am super perfect for late night drunkenness if you can make it to 3rd and South! There was a line but the shop is little and they move fast so don't worry if you do see a long line!

Really a fantastic place! I kind of like that it's one thing and they do it really well. Absolutely huge slices, tasty, but almost too big! Sometimes that wad of cheese in your mouth doesn't really want to go anywhere. Still, I'd do it again. Cash only and prices have gone up - think around $6/slice. And cheese only for single slices. There are also drinks but no seating.

10 / 10 would do again. Lorenzo's Pizza sports a casual, no-frills atmosphere, perfect for a quick bite or a late-night pizza pilgrimage. The décor is unassuming, but the intoxicating scent of freshly baked pizza wafts through the air, setting the stage for a memorable culinary experience. If you're looking for an upscale dining experience, this may not be your spot. However, if you're after an authentic Philly slice, you're in the right place. FAST SERVICE Upon entering, I was greeted by friendly staff who were quick to take my order. The efficiency of the service was commendable. The employees, while busy, remained courteous and efficient. Lorenzo's takes pride in serving its patrons with a smile, which enhances the overall experience. PIZZA TASTES AMAZING The star of the show here is, of course, the pizza. Lorenzo's offers enormous, mouthwatering slices that are generously topped with a perfect blend of cheese and sauce. The sheer size of their slices is enough to impress, but it's the incredible flavor that truly shines. The crust is crisp on the outside and wonderfully soft on the inside. The tomato sauce has a tangy kick, and the cheese is perfectly melted, creating a harmonious marriage of flavors. The sheer size of each slice is an adventure in itself, making it the ideal spot for those who appreciate a hearty, no-nonsense meal. GIANT SIZED SLICES TO GO What truly sets Lorenzo's apart is the size of their slices. Each slice is a true testament to the "go big or go home" mantra, making it ideal for sharing or taking home leftovers. These massive slices are not only a treat for your taste buds but also a conversation starter - the sheer size of your slice is guaranteed to turn heads. REASONABLE PRICES Lorenzo's is known for serving gigantic slices, but this can lead to a slightly higher price tag than your average pizza joint. However, the portion size more than justifies the cost. It's well worth the occasional splurge, especially considering the quality and taste of their pizza. WHAT LUCK TO LIVE CLOSE TO IT In conclusion, Lorenzo's Pizza on South Street in Philadelphia offers a slice of pizza heaven like no other. Their massive slices, friendly service, and unbeatable flavors make it a must-visit for any pizza lover. While it may lack the upscale ambiance of fine dining, Lorenzo's delivers where it matters most: the taste. I highly recommend a visit to Lorenzo's, just be prepared to be amazed by the sheer size and flavor of their slices. It's a slice of Philly's culinary heritage that you won't soon forget.

Here's a Philly favorite that has stood the test of time. Lorenzo and Sons has been around as long as I can remember. After a hard night of partying at the local South Street bars this is a go to. Their claim to fame in Philly is their 42" diameter pizza. Buying one will win your several standard size pizza boxes because no one makes a 42" box. More likely is you'll but a slice. The slices are mammoth. Since the pizza pie is 42" the slices are about 21". That's a lot of pizza in one slice! At $6.00 a slice it a bargain. The pizza is just not huge it is also delicious with a thin crispy crust and just the right amount of cheese and sauce. What says Philly nights better than that?

My son told me about this place on South Street where you could get a huge slice of pizza for $6. The big thing to remember about this place is that they only take cash. It's very important that you remember this if you feel iffy about using strange ATM machines. They have an ATM machine on the premises but it's one of those strange ones. If you're ordering slices, they only have cheese. A whole pizza will cost you $42, but it's a 28-in pizza. Toppens are extra. Okay so now to the pizza. The pizza is excellent. If you like a slightly sweet gravy, you will really enjoy this. I bought four slices paid $26 because we got boxes as well. I included a picture of the slice I got. It's the biggest slice I've ever had in my life. For me, it was a two meal slice. I've never not been able to finish a slice of pizza. It's even better when you heat it up in the air fryer. If you're looking for a cheap meal on a Wednesday night, and you're just bumming around South Street. This place is cool. 5 out of five.

We came in out of town and a friend brought us here, I am glad he did, very good hot slice of pizza, the sauce was a little sweet but not overwhelming with a good soft dough, the owner was there and had great customer service and very accommodating for us that had questions. I would recommend you give this place a try.

I’ve been coming here for about 20 years and thankfully not much has changed, sure the place was gutted after a fire and rebuilt, sure the prices have gone up, no you still can’t get toppings unless you order a whole pie, yes the slices are still massive and yes you can still get slices in the wee hours of the night! Order a whole pie....you won’t be disappointed

Grease paper sold by thieves. Greasy pizza sold by thieves. Early this year I went to Lorenzo's, a grimy little hole in the wall supposedly representative of Philly charm. Yeah... the kind of Philly where you get knifed in the back for your pocket change. You'd have better luck fending off the sewer rats on Washington Street as you suck on a used Big Mac wrapper. But I digress.<br/><br/>First, the pizza is nothing but a grease-on-bread assembly line. If you like all 4 chambers of your heart, you'll skip this place and go with something a little less greasy. Like the Exxon Valdez. But again I digress.<br/><br/>The cashier was a spooky thug with an attitude. I thought it was a joke at first, sort of like you might find at an old diner, but when the cashier shortchanged me $10, I figured it was no joke. I immediately complained to the management who said they would review the videotape. Three months later, nothing. And by the way, three months later the disgusting grease-paper they mockingly call "pizza" is still glued to the insides of my gut like a murderous tapeworm.<br/><br/>If you value your life, stay away from this place and warn your friends to stay away as well. Send your enemies, rapists and paedophiles to Lorenzo's. We do need to get rid of them.

Jeezus. Pizza is a lot like sex, when it's good it's REALLY FRIGGIN good. When it's bad ...it's still pretty good...unless you've been to Lorenzo and Son's. Wow! That was the worst damn pizza I've EVER had, and I had a few drinks in me? Huge triangles of flimsy, flavorless wet paper towels is how I could best describe it. Cynical attitudes toward patrons didn't help either, as if they realize how crappy their fare is and want to thumb their nose at society like most apathetic, hipster "ne'er do wells".

Great pizza. Grab and go. Not the best but by far not the worst either. HUGE slices...can't beat the price! Lots of gooey cheese and sweet sauce. Greasy, which is how pizza should be. I can't go to South Street without stopping in. My fiancée and I each grab a slice and a soda, put our seasonings on it and eat it at the corner. If you want it cooked a little bit more, just ask. I've seen reviews of people complaining about the service and not being able to get toppings - ever see how busy it is in there? What kind of service do you want? It's a pizza slice store - go in, get in line, order your slice and they give it to you. Are you expecting 5 star service from a slice store? I've never had a problem with the service, the employees have always been friendly every time I've ever been there! Now I feel like hopping on the subway just to go get a slice!

While living in Philly for a year, I tried desparately to find a proper pizza place. Lorenzo and Sons was the only place that fit the bill. When it came to flavour, size, and price it's a no-brainer. The restaurant's ambiance gives the feel that it's a no frills, down to business pizza joint that does what it does and has made its name because it does it well. Cheers!

Good LARGE slices at decent prices. I used to visit south street alot when I was in college. Lorenzo & Sons quickly became one of my favorite places to eat on South Street. And now that I have moved away from the area...I make it a point to return at least once a year for a slice!! The slices are HUGE and the prices are decent. The taste is amazing with the perfect blend of seasonings. The crust is slightly crispy, but soft enough to still fold in half. There is not any seating on location, so plan on eating standing up OR getting it to go. Would definately recommend. This is one of...if not the best slice in philly!
