Absolute best pizza I have ever eaten. I’ve heard a lot about Penny’s but when you’re hungry, usually you stick to what you know. Well I am more than happy I didn’t do that tonight. I ordered just a cheese pizza. Really, you are officially now my favorite pizza go to!!!

I wouldn’t say it’s the best pizza, but it’s pretty darn good. It tastes different which I liked, not your typical pizza. Sauce is definitely sweeter and on top. The cheese even tasted different but maybe it was the sauce and the different layering of toppings. Only odd thing was we asked for half pepperoni and there were exactly and only 3 pepperonis. Not sure what that was about. The price is also right! We also ordered a chicken steak calzone that was very good. I’m sure their other calzones and Strombolis are delish. Very limited menu but that’s okay, they picked a few things to specialize in and do just that. It’s pretty much just pizza, stromboli, calzones, and a few simple apps. Expect a long wait because they are busy. When going inside, you can see it’s obviously busy, the staff running around and not very happy. The girl on the phone(and in front when you get there) seemed pretty miserable. No smile and spoke in monotone. It is takeout or delivery only, no eating in, the place inside is very small and outdated. Otherwise, good food!

This is Must-Try Pizza. Honestly — I’ve had Pizza in NYC, and even in Italy, and I’d take Penny’s Pizza over all of them. It is THAT amazing.

I don’t like Penny’s Pizza. My wife grew up with Penny’s as a family favorite, they would drive from Berks County to get the stuff. I grew up in Pottstown and never had Penny’s until they reopened in the last few years. My wife was beyond excited but I was not highly impressed. The claim to fame is corn meal. It’s dusted onto their crust and underneath in the oven. It’s good but I’ve had it other places and it’s not a huge selling point. The pizza was lackluster as I recall. SOHERE’S THERECENTREVIEW: As I said, my wife loves the place, but it’s a little outside of our area so we only get it once or twice a year. Last night she absolutely had to have Penny’s strombolis. She’d had them for years and loves them. She got steak and italian. They’re a nice size, they’re crusty in all the right places and the corn meal dusting is a nice touch. The meats in the italian stromboli are good. Very flavorful, and good peppers. What the hell is this?! It’s greasy af. As soon as you cut into it, the box is hit with a frickin’ waterfall of grease. Within a minute or two, it’s through the cardboard box. Time to get a roll of paper towels. Same story with the steak. Just waves upon waves of grease flowing out of it. The steak is slightly pink and gristly. It’s like the stuff you’ve had in the worst cheesesteak ever. Pretty flavorless too. Maybe it was boiled like at Wawa, and they just slopped steak and water alike into the dough. Worst of all, both strombolis used ONLY american cheese. Maybe there’s an option for different cheese, but on the two occasions I ordered stroms they did not offer me a choice. Who the hell puts AMERICAN cheese in a stromboli. I could see maybe some of it in a steak strom but ffs a stromboli needs mozzarella. I realize Penny’s doesn’t try to be an «Italian» joint, but cripes this is a major blunder. I can’t wait until we order next. I’m getting my dinner elsewhere that night.

I don’t consider myself to be a fan of red top pizza, but I was surprised how much I enjoyed Penny’s Pizza. Sadly, I’m not a fan of their white pizza, which is my normal go-to pizza. So when we’re in the mood for red top, we’ll head to Penny’s.

I’m sorry, but for all the hype about this being the most amazing pizza in the area, this to me is not even real pizza. Maybe I’m missing something? I’m originally from New York and pizza is hot, filled with toppings, crispy crust, not too much sauce, and good cheese. Penny’s sauce is way too sweet, there is much too much sauce on e pie, and the pie is soggy and cold. On top of that, it’s usually not hot unless you pick it up as it comes out and eat it in the parking lot. I had tried it years ago, hated it. But in fairness and to support Limerick businesses, I thought I’d give it another chance when it reopened. Don’t waste you money. Sorry Penny’s, won’t be coming back… ever!

Very solid Pizza. They do the sauce on top and the crust with cornmeal. It is not a traditional pizza so if your kids like the crap they make at Pizza Hut, then stick to fried pizza.

First, many years ago I had ordered a pizza… did not like it at all then. But like everything else last week I decided to give them another try, so in November, 2014, was my second adventure there. In short, my son and I did not like it again, however, it was slightly better than the first attempt. The pepperoni pizza was nothing to write home about. It was in general less than the run of the mill you find anywhere. The crust was thin and tasteless. The pepperoni was underneath the cheese so you can’t tell how much they put on it nor get the full taste of it. And the overly sweet sauce with is the consistency of catsup and sort of tasted like it too was layered on top of the pizza cheese and pepperoni in stripes like the USA flag. The location is kind of funky too… it is in the back of a converted house sort of thing, but has plenty of parking. The bottom line is, I will not be going back. Especially as there are some much better places close by up or down the Pike not to mention names. So if you like a pizza with tasteless crust, overly sweet tomato sauce on top of the cheese and toppings underneath, this place could be for you.

I went with delivery. They charge extra, then take took 55 minutes and it was ice cold. The pizza might be better hot, because I found it too sweet and it had very little cheese. The crust is very thin and not crispy in any way. Over all the service was bad and the pizza was not worth the price.

This pizza is very unique. Its kind of like Mack & Mancos but with a sweeter sauce. They also use corn meal with the crust which sound weird but is very tasty. This is by far the best Pizza East of Chicago(except for Mack & Mancos). Give it a try!

Update: Reopened and just as good as it always was. I hit this place at least once EVERY time I’m visiting family in P-town.

This is a different type of pizza. It’s sweat and covered with a lot of corn meal. Truthfully — my family only had a few bites before it hit the can. You might want to give it a try just to see if you like this type of pizza.

HORRIBLESTROMBOLI! Crust was like a limp cracker(bland and undercooked), insides were warm at best and where the heck is the cheese?! TERRIBLE!

Lots of people talk about how great Pennys Pizza is, so we thought we would give it a try. I liked the pizza but my wife did not. They use a corn meal crust and the pizza sauce(which sits on top of the cheese), is on the sweet side. When you initially open the pizza box, you think they forgot the cheese, but it’s there under all the sauce. We ordered just a plain cheese for the kids and a bacon and onion for ourselves. The bacon wasn’t cooked real well, which is why I think my wife ultimately didn’t like it. We do prefer the bacon on our pizza to be on the more crunchy side. At the end of the day, we were left somewhat disappointed, given the hype that seems to surround this place. It’s not bad pizza, but it’s not pizza that we would necessarily crave.

Not your typical pizza. Be prepared for a change! When I first laid eyes on Penny’s Pizza I became disoriented… THIS? This is not like the others. This looks like it has no cheese. This is soggy. This sauce is different… too sweet. Then I started having flashbacks to my childhood. I remembered eating homemade pizza sitting in front of the tv watching Bonanza. Then I realized I LOVED this pie! It is fabulously different and it’s own. The sauce is on top of the cheese. The sauce is overpowering and distinct. The cheese is not bland like most pizza’s offer. The crust quickly becomes soggy from all the sauce, so forget about waltzing around holding a folded piece. Sit down and eat it. It is like no other. Penny’s Pizza is run out of a home that sits on Ridge Pike in Collegeville. No delivery. No seating. NOTHINGBUTPIZZA comes out of that joint. It is a serious pizza place! Love it.

Penny’s is okay, but could be far better, even stellar with just a little effort to taste. The great news, this is a pizza only shop. Very small menu, which if you read my reviews, really should work. Pizza, Stromboli and calzone. That’s it. I ordered a plain original pie and a white pizza with broccoli and spinach. For starters, the sauce is on top. I’ve never really liked this, but for only one reason; it gets cold fast. Anyone who knows corn meal crusts, it does not re-heat well. So your left eating slightly warm or cold amounts of red sauce. Not appealing. It is a sweet red sauce and the sweetness can overpower your taste buds. Less sauce would present a better balance of sweet and savory. But if sweet is your thing, you’ll probably like this pizza. The crust was thin and made with corn meal. It is flavorful, but again, over-powered by not only the sweet sauce, but the weight of the sauce itself. The inner part of the pizza falls apart when you lift the slice. Go with slightly less sauce. Overall, a good pizza. The white pizza was good as well. You pick up the garlic and salt and it all blends well with the crust. The broccoli did not taste fresh, rather tasted as if it were frozen, or over cooked. I can’t be certain. Having read rave reviews about Penny’s, I was a little disappointed. I do think they have solid pies but I have had far better. Penny’s does not deliver and there is no dining area, take-out only. They do have soda’s available. The hours are very limited, Thursday — Sunday from 3−9pm. The prices are more than reasonable. You would think a pizza only shop, so focused on a few items would be a stand-out. It is tasteful but not really unique. Although I can understand the higher ratings based on limited selection in this area. Put Penny’s in downtown Philly or anywhere in NYC, and well, it just wouldn’t fare well. I think the Pottstown/Limerick area has fairly low standards so it’s not hard to impress people. I agree with the first reviewer, Penny’s has a legacy following but I question their taste buds. When I was picking up my order, I was the only person out of 5 that was under 60. I’m just saying… The best pizza I have had is Giovanni’s, then Rossi’s. But they are a different, more traditional Italian than this style. So the comparison may not be fair. One last thing. I’ve said this before as well. If you are going to have a website and a Facebook page, update it or at least remove the old dated info. IFYOUFOUNDTHISREVIEWHELPFUL, PLEASERATEITANDSENDME A COMMENT.
