Rustica

This is the only place worth getting pizza in fishtown or no libs.

Awesome pizza in nolibs… so much variety and wasn’t that long of a wait. Not many places to sit, it is small. Better to order to go

Great pizza. My brother in law owns a great pizza shop in jersey and this is the first pizza I’ve had that I put on the same level. Quality!

I love this place for pizza. 4Gusti is my choice most times. Yumm! Not cheap though.

Rustica is a cool lil pizza joint in Philly! My very well informed foodie friends suggested this place when I learned it was National Cheese Pizza Day! I can never get enough NY Style pizza, as it is possibly my favorite food of all time, so when we saw this was walking distance, we said, sign us up!
We chose to get a slice or two and they have a lot to choose from. I went traditional and really enjoyed my slice. Perfect oil to cheese ratio.
Definitely try it out… great pizza!

With several places to get pizza in the area I felt like I was in the fairy tail of Goldie Locks and the Three Bears. Decided on Rusitca because I thought they would be «just right». Ordered 3 slices of pepperoni pizza for $ 9 which I wasn’t complaining about because the slices were big. The cheese, meat and crust were all hearty except I noticed that every bite I took there was little to no sauce. With each slice I thought there would be more sauce, but no such luck. The little sauce that I tasted, tasted like Ragu spaghetti sauce. And the search for that «just right» slice continues…

Delicious! I don’t know a single person who doesn’t LOVE their pizza… even my father in law who is the pickiest eater. We usually get take out or delivery, but there are a few small seats in the place. We live close by to the place, but delivery is super fast! Even if they say the pizza is coming in 40 minutes, we’ve had it arrive in 20. Also, fries are amazing! Just like McDonalds!

Absolutely the best pizza in the area but very pricey! We get it on special occasions. Cooked to perfection each time & top quality ingredients. Buffalo chicken pizza to die for!

I had a pizza delivered from here recently and have to reiterate that this is still a solid pizza shop — the quality is consistent and you always get your pizza hot — this is not my favorite pizza but it is getting more difficult to get a decent pizza delivered for a reasonable price — Rustica remains a go to delivery joint.

The food is quite good, and since there is no comparable pizza place that has as good of food for a decent price I keep coming back despite the fact that it is really on the pricey side.
Don’t believe the one $ sign. Its going to cost you 50 bucks to get a large pizza and wings. To me that makes it a $$$ dollar ranking.

I love this place but the sauce is a bit acidic for me. Top notch pizza if you aren’t prone to acid reflux. (Talking obviously about the red pies)

I ordered pizza from here. And I got a large steak pizza. I got wings and a bottle of water and some soda. 40 something dollars.
I have never eaten a pizza with meat that I really couldn’t eat. The taste was bland.
The wings were grey like they just came off the chicken, got slathered with some sauce then cooked just enough to make them warm. Maybe I should try again because I got a bad day or pie but probably I wont.

Best Pizza In Philadelphia — and resultant from that + great location, you pay a premium.
Haven’t ventured out of the pie realm, but apparently rest of the menu is primo as well.

I have to say, the pizza here is pretty delicious. I’ve come on a few different occasions; twice to get whole pies, and the other time to get slices. The pizza itself is not cheap. 2 slices (one cheese and one specialty) cost $ 6.50. A large whole cheese pizza costs $ 16. The great thing is when I order a whole pizza, it’s done in about 10 minutes.
Living about a 30 second walk away means this place is definitely my local pizza joint that I will likely be going to when I don’t feel like cooking and I want some pizza. No complaints about it at all. Their cheese pizza is really good, so I’ll take it any day.

Pizza in my hand in less than 5 mins
Got pulled pork with I kid you not… Coleslaw on the slice. It tasted like fucking perfection. Open until 1am on the weekends this place is the perfect spot to get some kick ass pizza made with love and attention to detail!

The pizza is fabulous. Pricey but I get it — it’s gourmet pizza. I wish they had the slices labeled. I didn’t want to ask what each pizza was so I chose randomly two that looked good. I really enjoyed what I had but unfortunately I don’t know what they were called.

Totally forgot to check in last night but HAD to write a review.
BEST PIZZA IN THE AREA!!!
Don’t delay, go today!

This pizza shop is quite small, but it doesn’t need to be big to be good. Very limited seating as well, but who needs to sit to eat a slice? They have tons of specialty pizzas here, but also tons of regular ones too, so you are bound to find something you like. I’ve been adventerous plenty of times here, but the last time I went, I just opted for bbq chicken slice.
All pizzas come on top of a nice and crispy crust… my absolute must in a crust (haha, that rhymed!) No soft chewy and mushy crust for me, please! (whoa, I’m on a roll). It is also very flavorful. For the bbq chicken, it had a great bbq taste that didn’t overpower the pizza feel and the chicken was not dried out.
As for price — pretty decent. I didn’t think it was outrageous, especially being in the Philly area.
Overall: If you are hankering for a specialty slice, while your friend wants something simple, this is your go to place. You will always find something delicious

Nothing special. Save your money.
We ordered the plain red whole pie and were very disappointed.
Tastes like a $ 5 rusty pie.
Dough was tough to chew, sauce and cheese were flavorless, VERY salty/​sour.

Oh yea I love a great pie, especially when it is Rustica with their specialty pies. I first experienced these guy at a Unilocal event over the summer. I was hooked from then on like braces to teeth. laces to shoes… an Italian to funnel cake.
I went in one night where we (Jason K. and I) were going around doing a bar hopping tour for the evening. Nothing better than a couple slices to waken up the taste buds after an evening of mass consumption of alcohol. No need to worry, we were not driving, what we were doing was saying «Nom, Nom oh man, so good Nom Nom»
I love pizza, I mean I really love a great tasting pizza, an enthusiast you might say. Nothing better than seeing a FULL display case of specialty pies waiting for you to dive into. Yes this did bring a tear to my eyes, knowing the outcome.
The aroma dancing around as you enter Rustica will make you grow impatient as you wait your turn. I didn’t mind the line they had, gave me more time to salivate over the options I was going to go with.
The cheesesteak with onions was simply delicious, right down to the crust. Not a dry piece of steak was laying on my slice, along with that crust it again was delicious. My second slice was a hot sausage, and no it wasn’t the shredded kind. Nice cuts of the good stuff was on this, another great not over powering flavorful rush to the buds. Its not easy to perfect a pie, but these guys nailed it.
I plan on making this a must stop whenever I’m in Northern Liberties, book it. Clearly Rustica is in the top 5 in my rankings in the pizza realm.
Get in there and enjoy immediately. do it now.
