La Scala’s Pronto

The best salads around this area which is fast and convenient. I enjoyed my first time here very much and the portions are huge.

If nothing is screwed, food is not bad. I am scared to think tho how the kitchen looks in there.
I have ordered about 6 – 7 times, and three were bad experiences. First one, hair in the food. I mean this might happen sometime, but in this case just adds up… The second issue I had was a metallic fish hook found in my chicken parmigiana. If it was tuna salad, I wosuld kind of understand it, but chicken… Last time I ordered, I found a fried fly, fried together with the chicken wings. Come on guys, clean the damn kitchen because the food aint bad.

Nicely surprised considering a delivery order is almost Always a nightmare in the city. Order was on time and food was very good.

I turn to Pronto when I’m craving takeout pasta and they do not disappoint. You wouldn’t think such good Italian food could come from a corner shop in Fairmount, but it does! The penne vodka rigatoni is full of creamy sauce and full of pancetta. I’ve also had the tortellini with Parmesan cheese sauce and it was so delicious too. Every time I order from there the pasta is cooked to perfection and the sauce is so rich and creamy. The portions are very generous and it is usually enough to feed me for two meals. Highly recommended.

On my ongoing search to try out all the local pizza joints, I decided to order from La Scala’s. My roommate was craving an italian hoagie and I wanted to try out a new pizza place so we decided to try this place out and I must say, it’s one of the best pizza joints I’ve ever ordered from
Delivery was quick and the food was delicious. The pizza was cooked perfectly; sauce is sweet but a little tangy, and the cheese is a little chewy. My roommate said his craving was fulfilled so I guess they make a pretty good hoagie as well.
Really recommend this place for the pizza but I assume whatever else they make is just as good.

Best BEST best delivery in the city. I have been ordering from La Scala’s pronto for over two years and the reason being is because of the consistency. I am too often disappointed with deliver in Philadelphia nor would I order fried calamari to be delivered let alone in a restaurant and I literally crave it. It comes crispy to my door in less than an hour, always, quickest delivery, best cheesesteaks, long hots, calamari, bbq chic pizza, buffalo chick pizza, roasted beet salad, mista with extra shrimp, veal saltimbuca (out of control good), rigatoni vodka and LASAGNA (lasted me literally 5 meals). Bottom line, its the only place to order if you want quality, quick food in the city!!!

I recently visited La Scala’s Pronto. While ordering pizza, I noticed there was a hair in my food. I pointed it out to the cashier and she just looked at it and threw it away. She then heated up a new slice of pizza for me. When the pizza was done she put it in the box and continued to work. She wasn’t rude but I would have expected an apology or at least acknowledgement of the situation. She sort of just ignored anything had happened. It turned me off. I order delivery from this place quite often and I don’t know if I would continue due to the way I was treated. I read other comments where customers felt profiled and I don’t know if that was the situation in my case. However, as a professional that works and lives in the area, I was not impressed with the professionalism.

Had some late night chicken parm cravings that La Scala’s took care of quickly and deliciously.
Delivery took under an hour, with no component requiring re-​heating (huge win).
The mussels app was a gamble considering I had delivery, but was nearly perfect. The steaming in the container opened all the mussels up so eating it was a breeze. The simple white wine, garlic, and crushed tomato sauce was a light and flavorful way to enjoy the very meaty mussels. As for the chicken parm, the chicken was still very crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I opted for alfredo on the pasta that was indulgent per usual, better than local pizza places, but not quite as good as made from scratch at home or in a fancier place.
For $ 13, the chicken parm its a meal sufficient for two. The combo of price, prompt delivery, and quality make this a solid local choice.

I live nearby, and you can’t go wrong with the pizza here. It’s generally my go-​to when I’m in the mood for some pizza, and don’t want to pay for delivery (since I just walk over and pick it up).

Came here for dinner — ordered sandwich as the pizza looked pretty old. Sandwich was tasteless and the fries were too salty.
Not returning here.

This is my neighborhood go-​to. Good for a slice and the salads are great. Arugula is my favorite. They stay busy at lunch and everyone is friendly. Good lunch specials to get you in and out.

There are few times in my life that I’ve ever felt so disrespected. When I went to this eating establishment, I believe that I was racially profiled by a cashier named Taylor. When my friends and I arrived at Pronto, we were seated in a near empty place. We sat down with a menu to decide what we wanted. After five minutes and after the fact that I had already gotten up to order, the waitress especially came from behind the counter to come over to our table and rudely ask my party, «Are you ordering something anytime soon?». I was appalled by her lack of manner in a place where she is trusted to serve customers kindly. After she took my order, I went back to the table and my party said they wanted to leave. So I went back to the counter and asked politely if I could have the pizza in a to-​go box. When she pulled out the to-​go box, she asked me in the most rude and impolite tone «are you just going to sit there and eat the pizza straight out of the box?». I replied «no, I ordered take out». Then the waitress said «chill out ma’am» when in no shape or form had I raised my voice with her. As my party and I were about to leave, disgusted with the attitude we received at this eating establishment, I asked one of the employees what that waitress’ name was, she exclaimed, «no, because she yelled at me!». It was clear that the waitress knew she had done something wrong and that she had acted immaturely.
I came back a day later to speak to the manager and the issue was not resolved. The manager seemed to agree that the waitress’ behavior was appropriate and nothing was done to fix the issue. It was clear that the manager was told previously about the issue and was on the side of the waitress. All in all, I had a horrible experience at this establishment and was not satisfied at all with how to manager handled the situation nor did she take me seriously because of my age or race. I will not be coming here again and I hope this review shows just how terribly I was treated at LaScala’s Pronto.

Well, well, well, what can I say. This is a pizza joint that serves a variety of dishes, and you get them quickly. Just like the name implies, Pronto!
The pizza is good, and so is the salmon. But my absolute favorite thing to order is the $ 9 sirloin bruschetta. You can have them remove the sirloin, for the vegetarians. Its a starter item, an appetizer, oh but does it eat like a meal and you can share. You get 4 sesame crusted crustini on which the add a perfectly cooked, thinly sliced sirloin, a dollop of sauteed spinach w garlic butter, roasted red peppers — if that’s not enough, they add a crumbly coat of Gorgonzola and put it in the broiler, and finally, the drizzle it with a balsamic vinaigrette and add a spring mix salad in the center. !!! Hello!!! That’s $ 9 and solo worth it… if you are in the area, and feel like trying it… you won’t regret it…

Very good pizza. Have yet to try other dishes but from the looks of them, they definitely look good.
A great way to get a tasty pizza without the heavy feel of a deep dish nightmare. Nice and tasty but not too heavy. :}
Great looking selection too for other dishes, but again, have yet to try those.
Very nice staff too.

My friend Jonny and I got lunch here, last Thursday. I’ve been once before that, as well, for a work lunch (I work across the street in 1500 Spring Garden), so I think I’m adequately equipped to talk about Pronto.
Anyway, Jonny and I were talking. He’s a huge Unilocal-​er, so he asked me how I’d review the place. «Good, not great,» is the first thing that sprung to my mind. My Chicken Parm sandwich combo was alright, but a bit overpriced at $ 10 — $ 7.50 would have been more appropriate. Frozen fries, not hand-​cut.
The place was really bustling at lunch, and there’s not really adequate room for the amount of tables they’ve got stuffed in there. People were constantly bumping into the back of my chair, or trying to slide by in the aisle, it felt a lot like flying coach in an aeroplane.
I’m definitely not going to say no and turn up my nose if my company decides to come here on a business lunch, but I don’t think I’ll be picking it again for a personal lunch. In this case, the two stars isn’t really meant as a damning condemnation — just a «you could do better, if you tried.»

Jeremy thought I’d give this over-​trafficked place two stars. It was good enough, but probably too expensive for its own good. It was also way too loud. I couldn’t hear my name being called out (probably because I wasn’t listening for the name listed on my card, since they never asked me for mine or offered a number).
$ 10 got me fries, a refillable soft drink, and a chicken cutlet sandwich. The fries were frozen, hand cut would be better. The chicken was also just a bit dry too. Since the lean breast meat is hard to prepare for mass consumption, my suggestion would be another source of fat in the sandwich.
But I left quite full, at the very least.

Long day at the office and the team was tired, critical, and hungry.
Via
, we ordered
The Classic Pizza
The Sicilian Pizza
The Philly Cheesesteak Pizza
French Fries
Grilled Hanger Steak with caramelized onions, mushrooms, and potatoes,
The order was promised by 6:15 PM. The order arrived at 6:15 PM.
Everyone praised every dish. Garlic fans will not be disappointed.
My steak was was tender and perfectly prepared. The side of potatoes a little overcooked, but tasty none the less.0
The total including tip was 75.44 and worth it. I will order from La Scala’s Pronto again!

I was staying at a hotel and completely unfamiliar with the local restaurants. I opened my GrubHub app and blindly selected the first place I saw. Surprisingly, the Fettucine alla Romano (shrimp, crab and peas in a cream sauce). I wasn’t expecting anything spectacular. But boy was I pleasantly surprised. It was amazing! Highly recommended.

La Scala’s Pronto has take out that goes beyond take out. I’ve ordered from here a few times now and quality is the first word that comes to mind. So they might be a little more expensive than the other area pizza joints but it is totally worth it.
My most recent order included an eggplant parm sandwich, a small arugula pizza and a meatball parm sandwich. The eggplant sandwich was mine and the arugula pizza was split with my husband. As we ordered take out, we were able to go back and forth between our sandwiches and pizza. Both were so incredibly enjoyable. The eggplant was fresh and had a nice seasoning to it. It was perfectly cooked too– not too mushy but not raw. It came on a fresh, large sesame seed roll. The pizza included arugula, prosciutto, mozzarella, garlic, olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar. They call it a gourmet pizza and that it was! Every bite was more enjoyable than the last. So my husband thinks a large would be overall kill, but I was longing for more after it was gone.
While the price inhibits La Scala’s from being the go-​to take out place, it tops the list of special occasion takeout pizza.

This time around, The GF and I decided to check out La Scala’s Pronto, a quick and easy outpost of the original La Scala’s restaurant. I think it’s fair to say that the restaurant focuses on its Italian fare (pun intended!), while the Pronto location, which also serves pastas and sandwiches, may be focused more on pizza delivery options. They also have a location in the Comcast Center, La Scala’s To Go. Taking over Philly — one hand-​tossed pizza at a time.
The Grilled Vegetable Sandwich ($ 8.95)
Portabella, roasted pepper, spinach, zucchini, squash & fresh mozzarella
This was served on a flour-​dusted artisanal roll that could have been crispier, especially on the bottom, which was soggy from all of the veggie juice. The veggies were delicious however with meaty portabella and olive-​oil drenched roasted peppers. The spinach wasn’t seasoned much, but was perfectly cooked. The squash was tender and the mozzarella was indeed fresh. This was a good sandwich, though I wish it was a bit bigger. But quality over quantity I’ve been told .
Eggplant Pizza ($ 16)
16″ hand-​tossed pizza with eggplant, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, & pizza sauce
The first thing I noticed was the fresh taste of the dough. This is what I constantly crave when I get pizza delivered. Clearly the dough is not frozen at La Scala’s. The mozzarella was abundant and the sauce had a nice tang. The eggplant was fresh and meaty, not breaded, though it could have been a bit more plentiful. The ricotta added a nice creamy element to the pizza as well.
Overall, La Scala’s Pronto hits the spot. They have high quality sandwiches and use great ingredients on their pizza, which is made from great dough. Prices may be slightly above average and that can understandably be a concern, but at La Scala’s, freshness is clearly evident and sometimes … you just need to pay the price.
