Colonial Pizza

Colonial is quite a nice pizza place. I’ve had the vegetarian pizza here and it tastes pretty good! My wife and I went to the place and ordered and it took them less than 15 minutes to whip up the pizza, so the service is pretty quick too!

I don’t usually write reviews for restaurants. But, this place is just to good not to rave about. I live in the Leigh Valley and there any many good pizza places. This is by far the best pizza I’ve have in the Valley! I highly recommend, not only the pizza but everything on that menu is awesome!

In the words of Soundgarden, «Ultramega OK.» Not much else to say about it. Definitely not bad, but nothing special either. OK crust, OK sauce, OK cheese.

I got the chicken Parmesan pasta platter (with ziti but I’m not sure if that’s a good idea, too much food for me). It was extremely delicious and the counter man was nice!!! #lovedit

Good neighborhood pizza place! Nothing fancy, but a good place to get a pizza to go.

The pizza is pretty good, it has a nice crust. Usually go there for a couple of slices and service is always very quick and the pizza always tastes reasonably fresh. Have ordered one of their more elaborate toppings and it was also very good. It’s not awesome pizza, but it’s a good neighborhood place.

I was excited to order my tuna sandwich since I usually order from here. Mostly everything is just right… The flavorful tuna, crisp vegetables, the warm wrap. Unfortunately, while biting into my delicious sandwich this time, I look and there is a bug crawling out of the tuna. Nothing is too good to be true. This permanently left a bad taste in mouth.

We tried a couple slices of pepperoni pizza to go. This is amongst my favorite pizza places so far in West Philly. The crust is thin and crunchy, the sauce is tasty, and there’s just enough cheese to bring it all together into a delicious slice of pizza. I’ll be coming here again when I’m craving pizza.

Great hoagies, quick delivery, typical corner pizza place.
I typically order tuna hoagie, or a cheesesteak.

The following are what you should come here for:
— A plain cheese slice
— Buffalo chicken wings
— Mozzarella sticks
I am completely addicted to their mozzarella sticks (I have not tasted better ones in Philly), and I usually order them with a side salad, which is fresh and filling on its own.
Their fries also look good, but I haven’t tried them yet. Saving those for a future trip after maybe spending a month at the gym.
The service has always been friendly in my experience, and they work pretty efficiently.
As long as you stay away from the burger and don’t expect artisan coal oven pizza (seriously, their cheese slice is simple and delicious), I am sure you will be content with this place.

In my opinion, the best pizza in U city hands down. Delivery is always before schedule, and drivers are always friendly. Try the backwards pizza.

Whoah, the reviews on here are pretty misleading! This pizza is NOT good! There is no freaking excuse for bad pizza in Philadelphia and I shouldn’t have to explain why.
My pizza was 1 hour and 50 minutes late and I had to telephone them to find that they «never received the order». The guy in charge gave me 15% off my order… woohoo, thanks? C’mon dude, that’s almost two hours for delivery! Order placed at 7:30 PM, no rain or snow on a Thursday!
On to the veggie pizza I ordered. If I pretended for a second that none of this happened, I would say that the pizza gets two stars for edibility, but just barely. All the veggies on the pizza were really quite raw. I assume this is because they rushed the order.
Aside of THAT, there was absolutely nothing special about this pizza. Tasteless, chewy crust, weird cheese, boring sauce. The veggies seemed fresh but, again, they were raw.
It got the job done because I was starving, but I would not, under any circumstances, ever order from Colonial Pizza again. Crappy pizza, crappy service.

Best place for hoagies and pizzas! I have ordered their chicken parm, turkey, and cheese steak hoagies many times and have always been satisfied by their food and service.

I’ve eaten here a lot over the past year, as my partner lives but a block away.
Their pizza is awesome, like really awesome. Especially when it’s piping hot when you live a block away. Our go to-​s are definitely their Hawaiian and Supreme.
I got their Colonial Gourmet burger before too, but without the thousand island dressing and it was really good too — great for your standard corner food store.
Sandwich wise my go to is their Colonial special chicken cheesesteak — hard to go wrong with tomatos, cheese, green peppers, pepperoni and mushrooms on a cheesesteak!
Last week was the first time they messed up my order — but we were in a rush so we couldn’t call them to correct it. We ordered 2 Colonial chicken cheesesteaks, and received 2 colonial BEEFsteaks which was a super bummer since we recently stopped eating pork and beef.
I feel pretty confident that they would have corrected it since we’re regulars. I really hope so anyway!
Honestly, one of the best pizzas in University of Sciences area. Great neighborhood joint

I only do delivery from here, and it’s always the same thing. Extra-​large pepperoni+pineapple pizza. I ask them to cook it well-​done, and they usually do.
Once, they forgot the pineapple. I called and asked for a credit, and they agreed to give me one on my next order. I always forget to ask for it, but whatever. It’s good pizza when you want it.
I always feel like 3-​stars looks bad. It’s not. The place is good and you should order from it.

My husband and I love Colonial pizza. The plain pizza and veggie pizza, and the calzones in particular. Other food is your typical takeout stuff.
The delivery to us (we live half a mile away) is always within 30 mins; pizza is always piping hot; customer service on phone or in the store is sweet and friendly.

UPDATE: third time is always the charm. pizza and wings arrived perfectly! delivery within an hour and super friendly driver! woohoo! :)
OLD: my friend and i drove from ca to pa in 3 ½ days!!! by the time we got to my new apt it was late, we were exhausted and starving. these guys were open so decided to give them a try. we ordered the colonial pizza and some wings. i thought both were pretty good… maybe because i was beyond delirious and hungry. i decided to give them another try a few weeks later. the delivery guy was friendly and nice and the pizza arrived pretty quickly. the pizza was ok but super oily! yah yah yah… i know it’s pizza but this was really oily! they also don’t give packets of parmesan cheese or red chili flakes :/​if i’m hungry again late at night and there’s nothing else open, MAYBE i’ll give them another try

We chose to grab some food here the other night at 11pm. The place is nearby where I live, and I was having that dreaded late-​night craving for pizza. We ordered 6 chicken fingers and a large (which is technically their medium size) pizza. The total came to about $ 17.
The chicken fingers were nothing special, but were pretty good. Not too greasy, but not spectacular. I feel like a weirdo saying this, but the honey mustard dipping sauce that came with it was amazing. A lot of honey mustard sauces I have are kinda watery messes that don’t add much to the *chicken finger experience.* This sauce was thick, creamy, and tangy. I wanted to hoard it and spread it on sandwiches, but I foolishly threw it out, instead. (RIP. honey mustard sauce, never 4getU.)
The pizza was okay. Don’t take this the wrong way, but it reminded me exactly of a «gourmet» Chuck E. Cheese’s pizza. The cheese topping was a blend of a few cheeses, predominantly mozzarella, I think. The sauce was tasty, a little spicy, not too sweet. The crust was crispy and the right thickness. The one drawback, other than getting gymboree PTSD symptoms, was that it was incredibly oily.
Overall, not bad. Not sure if I would order their pizzas on the regular, but wouldn’t object from ordering from them again.

I will go all in and claim this to be the best pizza I have had in Philly.
Everything else on the menu is pretty solid too.
Good selection of beers.
They have a frequent fat boy punch card for free pies …
That’s awesome.
Try it.

Well, this review is long over due. Just some background info about myself, I like to think I’m a wing-​aficionado. And I can absolutely say with confidence that Colonial has the TOP WINGS in the city. I’ve eaten wings from pretty much all over, and nothing beats Colonial’s bbq wings. They are meaty, nice size, and most importantly, the bbq sauce is directly on point.
Also, Telly (the owner) is a stand up guy. We have a good rapport. Get this, he even recognizes my phone number when I call in.
BEWARE– dont order online. The website charges extra for menu items plus an additional online order fee. I wasn’t aware of this until it was brought to my attention by someone at the restaurant. Telly confirmed that the prices were higher and that he didn’t understand why ppl wouldn’t call and place the orders to save themselves a few bucks.
Cheese Steak: Colonial takes the lead over Greek Lady (another fav place of mine to get a classic Philly Cheese Steak (PCS). My order is fairly normal for a guy who was raised here: Chicken CK, black pepper, ketchup, mayo, mustard, fried onion, and toasted roll (emphasis added). The toasted roll just sets it all off. I always get an order of onion rings-​or cheese onion rings when I’ve run a few extra miles at the gym that day.
Simply put, there’s nothing more I can say other than I’m glad to have found my default restaurant for those days/​nights after work and I’m in the mood for something flavorful and a wonderful staff.
Disclaimer: I’ve lived in the surrounding neighborhood almost all of my life. I have been through numerous owner/​management changes. Telly is definitely the best owner I’ve experienced and he genuinely cares about his brand and reputation.
