Germantown Pizza

This place has saved me when I was overcome by:
a) The Munchies
b) Overpriced ‘brick-​oven’ style gentifying pizza hostpots
c) Long, tiring days at work.
They deliver, they’re yummy, and their cheesesteak rivals that of Jim’s.

The price is great, and everyone is really friendly. Best neighborhood pizza around!

Worst eggplant parm ever. Has anyone had this dish with no cheese on it. disgusting. Waste of money. Learned my lesson

You know what, I had expected worse. I gazed at the first slice, unremarkable with a champagne tinged crust. Took a bite and the pizza fought back! What I mean by this is the way well-​formed dough stretches and refuses to be pulled apart. Good pizza dough, with its high gluten content, is formed by constantly stretching its protein matrix so that it gives you that satisfying chew. I was pleasantly surprised by this, and Germantown shall land on my call-​back list for pizza.
However, they don’t open until 2pm on Sunday. Football starts at 1pm, guys.

This pizza is gross. El Greco is better if, like me, you prefer a New York style slice. This place uses low quality ingredients and the outcome is lackluster. The first time my husband and I have actually thrown away leftover pizza.

I’ve recently moved to the Olde Kensington neighborhood, and G.P. (aka Germantown Pizza) has always been solid. Fast, delivers, cheap, and delicious — perfect back up plan when you’re not feeling in the mood to cook. Also, the guys here are extremely nice!
The only drawback is that they close at 10p on a sunday. Otherwise, they’re usually open until 11p!

Germantown is just fantastic. I’ve been ordering from them pretty consistently for the past three years, and sometimes my friends will find some new biddy to get their cheeses off, but those passions will fade. And fade they should. Because Germantown is the Marge to your Homer. The Lois to your Hal. Or the Lois to your Peter. The Peggy to your Hank. It will always be there, and it will always be what you need.
So please, do your soul a favor and order from this reliable pizzeria. It’s not the best in the world, but it’s consistent. And isn’t that worth something?

Germantown Pizza is great if you just want a cheap slice. It is greasy and the ingredients are nothing special, but for a slice of pizza for a buck fifty you can’t expect anything out of this world.
Also I ordered a whole pie here once and would never do it again… If I remember correctly they make the dough for their slices differently from their whole pies. I don’t understand this, and it has been awhile, but this is how i remember it.

this is where i get pizza when i’m drunk. never order anything but a plain cheese pizza, even extra cheese is really bad idea.

great!!!

I figured I should write an updated review. The last couple times I’ve ordered from here, the pizza hasn’t been so great. Also, anything other than pizza seems to be rather pricey for what you get. I ordered a garden salad and it was mostly iceburg lettuce (which is bland and tasteless), a ton of onions (which i’m not a fan of in large quantities) a few black olives, a couple slices of green pepper and a chuck of a tomato. The dressing average. I think the large pizza and a salad was around $ 25. If i wanted to spend that much I would have gotten something from Rustica or 2^nd Street. I haven’t ordered from Germantown Pizza since and probably won’t for awhile.

You really cant go wrong with Germantown Pizza.
Pretty much ALL of their Pizza is great, any topping, any size, you can’t lose.
Burgers are great too and they have pretty good fries.
They do, however, have average wings. Personally, I order my wings from only 1 place in the whole city (Key Pizza). But yeah, their wings are definitely okay, but not great.
Friendly service, pretty quick delivery times (except for those Friday & Saturday nights, but hey, everyone takes a little longer on those nights), GREAT pizza, yeah I order from this place about twice a week.
Eat there

The best cost effective pizza place in my area by far, can never go wrong with the special, 2 pies and a 2-​liter for $ 17! They also have all kinds of assorted food stuffs for every taste… i’m from NY so I am a bit picky about my pizza, but over the last 6 years in Philly it has grown on me! Rustica is also good but a bit pricey to eat on a regular basis…
(Autumn E. is out of her mind!)

Germantown pizza wins the award for the worse pizza in Philadelphia.
I’ve tried the place several times, each time hoping maybe it’ll be better. It never is.
I think everything I’ve ever ordered off this menu is gross, and they take forever to deliver.

I like Germantown pizza. It’s probably my favorite regional pizza place in the city. It easily beats out El Greco (four blocks away, here
) and maintains a lead over Kristina’s (a block or two further, here
). It doesn’t really compare with Rustica (seven blocks away), but that’s Northern Liberties — a vastly different landscape than the three competitors I’m considering here.
So anyway, it’s the neighborhood best — the neighborhood, here, being the American Ave Industrial area. A fine feat, no doubt.
One of Germantown’s best features is its location. Germantown makes a great corner with 4^th St., and Germantown Pizza occupies its acutest corner. They use their narrow lot well — a small shop with a long, slender parking lot in front. The parking lot was the first thing that I noticed about Germantown Pizza. They’ve painted the lot with a palm tree and some funny lettering, and it’s a sign of the kind of attitude I have whenever I eat there.
The pizza is good. It has a fluffy but crispy crust, a balanced sauce, and good not-​too-​gooey cheese. It’s thinner, more flavorful and less stratified than El Greco, and has a crust that isn’t as crackery as Kristina’s. It’s flavorful, fulfilling and inexpensive. Fantastic.
Plus the crowd — the neighborhood — is great. The employees are friendly and quick, and the clientèle is diverse and interesting. The block is cool. At Germantown and Jefferson is an Islamic primary school which is clean and well detailed, with an active yard. At Germantown and Oxford is the beautiful (and badly neglected) Gretz brewery. And 4^th St. is a block that is sunny and alive. The whole scene is a pleasure to experience.
As I said, I like Germantown Pizza. Going there is a treat.
