Margherita Pizzeria

I really enjoyed the guys behind the counter jacking up the prices after quoting me a lower price at the counter. Pizza was mediocre at best. Maybe I’ll resort to dominos next time?

Very nice place to grab a bite to eat. If you’re dining in they actually bring your food to you which adds a nice touch of class to the dining experience. I do however think $ 9 for two slices of pizza and a soda is a bit much it’s still a decent place to stop by and visit while on lunch.

Superb!
So happy the police officer we saw told us about this place! Thank you sir!!!

Thin crust pizza. It’s bomb. Cheesesteak is also great. Best in the city for pizza.

I work near here and grab lunch all the time. Seriously they are my favorite quick and easy lunch place in the area. Cheese steaks are awesome, great food in general I have never had anything less than good. The people working are always pleasant and they genuinely care about their business. It’s really cute inside and clean.

Pizza isn’t awful but tasteless. Cheap, $ 2.75 for a cheese slice. They don’t use gloves, which is unnerving, since they touch your slice going into and coming out of oven. I saw one staff member smoking outside and am unsure if he washed hands before going back to work.

Just okay slices. Ask for it well-​done since the slices tend to be a little ‘wet’ for a better word. It’s an okay price and there is a large selection of toppings but it’s just okay.

Wanted a quick bite before leaving Philadelphia and sitting still on a bus for four hours, so I came here for a slice. The prices were reasonable, as was the pizza, but it wasn’t anything to write home about.
This is good if you’re looking for a small meal or maybe if you are coming through with smaller children who aren’t a fan of cheesesteaks.

We just moved to this area and naturally are trying to find our go-​to pizza joint. We’ve tried a few and so far, this Margherita pizza is really delicious! The crust
Is delicious (if you like pizza crust), the cheese on top is great, just have to try a plain slice to see if the sauce is acceptable. We’ve tried the veggie pizza which was dynamite and also the spinach ricotta tomato pizza which was PERFECTION! Can’t wait to try more pies here!

There’s no way I’d have given them four stars if I chose to eat here the night before I actually did. All the pizzas looked like they’d been sitting around for hours and didn’t look at all appetizing. Luckily I decided to stop back during lunch when the pies were fresh and delicious. Tip; don’t stop by during slow times.

Pizza by the slice is the best simple quick food on this earth. When you are looking for something that will take little time, little money, and tastes good, you have pizza.
After a trip to a museum with my 3 year old rug rat, aka my beautiful daughter, we decided to grab something to eat for dinner. I know a few things about my daughter. She likes pizza and get very impatient when she’s hungry. And for me, well I like pizza and quick, and cheap is nice for good measure.
So, we hit up Margheritta, because quick only works if it’s convenient. Going out of your way for pizza, makes it not so quick. This is fine if I do not have my 3 year old in tow, but with her I am not dragging around.
Well, this pizza place did the trick. it was quick, cheap and convenient. But on the taste level, well it was okay. Certainly, don’t drag across town for it.

My new favorite place! A family owned restaurant where they take great care of customers. They are very clean and friendly. The food is fresh and delicious and the prices are very reasonable.

Went here on a weeknight after attempting to go to the waterfront after the Indep. Hall area closed and being greeted by rain. It was pretty empty and we weren’t in a hurry so we decided to skip eating slices that might have been waiting awhile. Ordered a couple of cheesesteak sandwiches and a burger and they were good size and brought out to us.
Forgot to ask what the banner that looks like a person with three legs was.

If you’re in the neighborhood and are hungry, I guess it’s o.k. Not very flavorful, really. They don’t even carry any quality beverages. I would have been much happier grabbing a slice at Rustica or Pizza Brain.

Late night? I say grab a slice! You wont get judged by the other late nighters! The pepperoni pizza is an excellent choice. The broccoli pie was too dried out, probably tastes better fresh out of the oven!

Coming from northern NJ, I like to think I have a pretty good idea of what qualifies as «good» pizza. I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised with their slices. While there’s nothing fancy or different about this place to make it stand out, it does a basic pizza extremely well. If you’re just looking for a quick slice, you’re at the right place.

I used to work in a nearby Chestnut St. office and I tried every pizza place around to find the best lunch option. Margherita Pizzeria ended up being the clear choice, thanks to a number of factors.
For one, the cheese always seemed just a little more flavorful and fresh. It oozed off the slices and melted in your mouth, which is rare in Philly by-​the-​slice pizza joints. The sauce also felt just a bit more like real tomato pasta sauce, and had that almost grainy old world texture most of the time. The crust was pretty standard, but not bad in any way, and unlike other pizza places around it they seemed to have fresh offerings during lunch and dinner times every time I went.
Atmosphere is nicer than other local pizza places, if you plan to sit. The employees when I went were mostly real Italian immigrants and the place is designed with a Tuscan feel. You can quickly add some Parmesan and peppercorn to your slice if you like, using shakers provided on the counter.
It’s not some amazing gourmet pizza, and being a southerner I tend to dislike most Philly pizza for being too thin in general, but if you’re on Chestnut St. looking for a good slice of pizza I think Margherita Pizzeria fits the bill more than the others found in the same area.

I can hardly believe I was cognizant enough to check-​in to this location… from what I hazily remember the buffalo wing pizza was awesome.

Great place for a slice after a night of drinking. Their toppings never taste under cooked like some other slice heavy pizzerias. If your on 2^nd St. bar hoping I suggest you stop in for a slice.

This is my go-​to place to get pizza in Olde City when I’m overly intoxicated– (courtesy of lucy’s, drinkers, khyber and the croc).
The slices here are huuuuuuge and pretty damn good– and I’m not just saying that because I usually happen to be plastered when I get here, I’ve stopped in with a clear mind once or twice!
I think the slices range from 2.50 to 3.50 or somewhere around that ball park. I think it’s pretty fantastic for what it’s worth.
Definitely stop in here if you’ve been partying all night and find yourself craving cheese, sauce and bread.
