Review: 13th Street Pizza - The Best Pizza in Philadelphia

Slice of Heaven

Tell me if this story sounds familiar: Late night of drinking and dancing, a few hours of flirting and skirt chasing, then the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania says it is time to go home. You need a nosh, and you need a nosh right now! So where do you go? 13th Street Pizza.

13th Street could offer crappy pizza at exorbitant prices, resting on their ideal location wedged in-between Pure and Woodys. But this late night pizzeria actually offers fantastic slices affordable to any tightwads. If you only have a few bucks left over from a night of boozing, 13th Street can still cut you a plentiful piece of pie without any pleading.

Beyond the classic concoctions, 13th Street also offers several unique pizza options. The innovative loaded baked potato pizza tastes, well...just like it sounds! Cheese and bacon bits, already loyal pizza toppings, are accompanied by several circular potato slices. If you like loaded baked potatoes, give it a try.
13th Street has made-to-order pizzas at all hours of the day and night. We normally stomp thru there at 1AM (okay...okay...sometimes 2) and it's always a pleasant sight to see fresh pizzas steaming behind the sneeze quard. Plain cheese, pepperoni, meat lovers, combo, and the always-odd Hawaiian can all usually be found and gobbled up. If they don't have it, the staff at 13th is always prepared to whip up a pie for you as well. Don't be shy, ask them. Having sampled all the basic slices, I can agree with 13th's statement that they serve "New York pizza with a Philadelphia attitude." The pizza always good, not too greasy, and most definitely hot and quick.
