Reviews For J & J Pizza

I've been eating here since I was a youngster the 90's. Good food. Chicken cheesesteak is good

The best pizza I've had in Philadelphia to date. Been here 3 years and other than West Point Pizza, I can't even remember the names of the other places, which says a lot. Awesome sauce, thin crust that tastes so good, and just greasy enough to be unhealthy aka good, but not too greasy that it's dripping with oil... Perfect balance. I'll be ordering here a lot more in the future.

Genos and pats are tourist traps. You want a good cheese steak go-to this place it's right up the street and miles better

I guess when you are a block away from Pat's and Geno's Pizza should be your thing. The pizzas did looking amazing. It was very hard not to get the cheesesteak Pizza. I had the Royal cheesesteak which came with plenty of extras. The extras were good but I'm sure they are much better on a pizza. 9.50, plenty of tables and a bathroom, I am not going to complain. Well maybe I'll complain in private. Good cheesesteak. Very good overall experience.

This Place is Incredible. Truly a Gem not just South Philly but the whole City. Me and about 11 guys had Cheese Steaks, Pizza and one of our Guys had Spaghetti and Meatballs. All of it 1st Rate and Emily behind the Counter couldn’t be nicer and she top shelf at our Job. If I told you would it cost you would think I was lying. This was my 2 nd time here with the Crew. I’m coming back again. Graves End is across the street. We got there about 8:30 PM and it was very Cold so no annoying Foodies. If I could give 10 I would

This place is absolutely amazing. I come from out of town and I always come here. You get really good Italian food, but they’re my favorite cheesesteaks in all of Philadelphia.
