When I tell people I go to Philly a lot, they ask me "Gino's or Pat's?" I say, "Neither, Lorenzo's!" The cheesesteaks are great, and it has a great South Philly / Italian Market vibe to it.

I really thought the pizza was pretty bad. The crust was too thick...it just didn't taste that good either...maybe because it was the end of the day but I won't be going back there anytime soon.

The special is two slices and soda for 4 bux. What a deal. could be the best in the city. dollar fifty slices on the menu. the crust is fluffy and the pizza isn't too crispy. It nearly melts in your mouth. The slices aren't huge. And the sauce is a little too sweet for my tastes. otherwise pretty good and i will go back.

Their cheesesteak stromboli was heavenly. I hadn't had one since I was a kid and it was just like I remembered. Props to the owner for being cool with my husband going in there in Mets gear. ;]

They make pizza the way I like it! Crispy crust. Less sauce than most in the city. Good cheese. Good spices! Cheap!

eek. for a place i've heard good things about i was sorely disappointed! first, i pull up on my bike and was going to lock it to a gate (totally out of the way). an old man sitting at one of the three tables screams out "don't lock it there!! don't lock it there!!" hrm, how about "hello there, would you mind finding another spot to lock your bike" if it's REALLY all that big a deal to him!! i almost left right then and there, because i feel that just cause you're old and YOU don't feel like you need to mince words anymore, doesn't mean you shouldn't. if the world consisted of a bunch of old farts without the pleasantries, imagine what a miserable place it would be. anyway. i ended up just locking my tire to the frame, leaning it against the building and getting in line. the pizza was just OK - the crust was good, but the sauce was disgustingly sweet. i hate sweet sauces. meh - there's plenty of good pizzerias i'll stick with.

I tried this place based on good reviews from other yelpers. Those who gave their pizza a good review are right on! The crust is just the right thickness, not so thin that it flops over when you pick up a slice. The crust is perfectly crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. It has a nice chewiness and flavor to it. The sauce is slightly sweet, but has a hint of authentic Italian spices. They don't skimp on the cheese. It tastes like quality mozzarella, maybe a bit of Romano or asiago in there too. Even though I had to walk a long ways to pick up my pie, I would be happy to make the trip again. Good pie for a good price.

For a neighborhood pizza restaurant where you just want to get a slice, this is the place to go. They'll throw on any topping you want, instead of limiting you to the topping selection of the pre-cooked pizza you find at most restaurants selling slices. And the friendly service is always a plus.

I'm from New York. Mistakenly chose this place as my 1st to try Philidelphia's cheesesteak. My local deli makes a better cheesesteak than these guys. After taking a bite I wasn't sure if I ordered a Philly onion sandwich or a cheesesteak... it's loaded with chopped onions! I was not impressed at all. (not to mention the 15 mins I spent waiting for the sandwich). I also figured I'd get a slicejust to see what the big fuss was about, it was just average at best. I liked Philly and it's rich culture, and proud people, but if you want real pizza, NYC is where it's at.

Lorenzo's is located at the beginning of the Italian Market, and it looks like it. This dingy corner pizza shop looks like nothing special on the outside or the inside. The staff were friendly but rung me up for a large mozzarella sticks, though I plainly ordered a small. The pizza was good and the mozzarella was just ok; it was obviously the frozen kind. Lorenzo's is hit or miss for me.

Great pizza. A bit expensive, but the slices are more than generous (where can you even find bigger ones?!) and always delicious. The only downside is the staff, who are less than approachable, but I guess that's part of the ambience.
(4)
Brian M.

Good pizza and good cheese steaks (Better than Pats AND Geno's). The only fault with the cheese steak is all the cheese was at the very bottom so it wasnt in every bite!? I got it with peppers and it was good. You will wait awhile for the food cuz of the area though but its worth it.

This place is as good as it gets for Philly pizza. I'm not talking about the wood-fired places and the ones where you can get smoked brussel sprouts on your slice. I mean Philly pizza- the good, cheesy, greasy, filling thing you're truly craving. Don't fight it: it's less than two bucks a slice, it's the cheapest addiction of your life. They have one of the rarest things in Philly, a good, doughy, chewy-enough crust that still remains relatively thin and easy to fold. It's a perfect balance between the thin and thick crust argument. Their sauce is sweet but still rich and flavorful, and they're the only people in a three-mile radius who seem to be able to put enough cheese on a slice for me. Delish. If pizza's not your thing... well, you should make pizza your thing. But if it's not, they have plenty of other stuff like cheesesteaks (better than any of the tourist traps, better rolls and better meat), chicken fingers and fries, and even a chicken parm sandwich that is quite tasty, with a scoop of the good red sauce over top. Their burger is my personal favorite, and it deserves its own paragraph. It's under four bucks for an enormous patty smothered in bacon, cheese, and fried onions. It's filling and has that wonderful griddle taste, considering that it's cooked on the same surface as the onions, bacons and peppers- yum. It's a classic diner-style burger on a sesame-seed roll. It's a no-brainer: get filled up for under eight bucks, enjoy the sports memorabilia and the friendly chat of the guys on the grill, and walk away happy. There's one more thing I always tell people when I'm talking about this place, and that's the collection of signs in many languages hung over the grill, all saying "please order and pay at the register." Ha. They've been written by lots of different people from different places, all just there for a sandwich or a slice. Food bringing people together, now that's a South Philly attitude I can get behind.

My favorite place for pizza right now. $10 for a large plain pie and it's ready in 15 minutes. My only complaints 1. they only accept cash. but I can get over it if it keeps the prices low 2. They are only open until 7pm. Come on, stay open until at least 8 or 9 so those of us who come home late can still have your delicious pizza for dinner. The pros are many, but the highlights are how inexpensive they are, the fact that they offer pizza by the slice as well as whole pies, and they have a nice variety of other things on the menu. I have to say I'm not a huge fan of their cheesesteak, but my boyfriend thinks it's one of the best in the city, so definitely a preference thing. You have to try it yourself to know. Thanks Lorenzos! Please stay open later!

Pips C.

_Loved_ the rough-and-tumble atmosphere--hand-written signs in multiple languages commanding you to order and pay at the register--but only _liked_ the pizza. Sauce a little sweet for my tastes--nice, chewy crust (but also a hint of sweetness). Even though our slices were re-heated, still tasted fresh. Definitely a cut above the typical slice. More than that....?

The pizza at lorenzo's is tasty and at great price. The sauce is tasty. Quick and convenient for take-out!

The term "greasy spoon" adequately describes this place. Do don't go in expecting anything else and you will not be disappointed. That being said, the food was well priced, tasty and way better than expected. IMO, the pizza was huge and very good. As was the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. At a pizza place? Yep. It was actually better than at other places we tried! Now, I don't regard myself as a connoisseur or expert on either pizza and/ or PCS, but I do know what I like. And I liked it enough to overlook the greasy spoon aspect. And there aren't many places that I'm willing to overlook that part!

BEST LATE NIGHT PIZZA EVER. Hands down. I can't believe I haven't written a review of Lorenzo's until now. This place has the largest slices of pizza in the city and they are heavenly. They have the right balance of sauce and cheese and their dough is amazing. Their pizza is definitely not gourmet but rather what my brother's friends like to call "Friday Night Pizza"...in other words, it's semi-greasy and NYC style pizza. An entire pie is $25 but they package it in two regular size pizza boxes because they are so large. An entire pie can feed 6 hungry adults. I love going here late at night for a post-bar snack. They are open super late and the slices at 3am taste just as good as the ones you get at 8pm. They are consistently fast, courteous, and sometimes even friendly. Sadly they don't deliver but I kind of enjoy the experience of actually walking there and getting super excited for one of the best slices of Pizza in the city.

Cleanliness not exactly a strong suit and don't be surprised if they go straight from putting money in register to handling your pizza but it must all add to the flavor .... Very good large sized pizza slices with very reasonable prices ....

Pepperoni pizza was pretty good but not great... Good for the price I guess.. I'd recommend the mushroom though.

Suzie L.

This is my local pizza joint! They offer the best go-to neighborhood pizza (spoiled) since I can get a large pie for $12 with toppings. Can't beat that! Don't be fooled by the looks as it is your down and dirty pizza place. You come here for specific things, not to linger around and figure out what you want. The staff is friendly and food is always ready in 10-15 minutes. I normally get the sausage (which is ground sausage not chunks) and mushroom. The pizza is always fresh and still good the next morning. Obviously I'm a repeat customer here. FYI - They close early so when you have a late night craving you're out of luck.

Amy B.

Either the yelpers over sold this one, or maybe you just get used to your local pizza, or maybe it was a bad day but the pizza was just OK. A-OK as Yelp says. The pizza is neither thin nor thick. Sauce was plentiful. Cheese, no so much. Mushrooms were canned. Since they are in the Italian village I was hoping for something more autnentic; either authentic Italian or authentic Philly would have done.

As good as it get! Best cheese steaks in Philly and always the best pizza you can get. Love, love, love Lorenzo's!

One of the best places to eat in Philly. The doors is great and the service is very friendly. Sausage and Perra is awesome. Also... One of the only RR on 9th street, for customers only n

Everytime i went to the Italian Market with parents, they would get roast pork from George's, i would get Sicilian (CENTER SLICE IF POSSIBLE!) from Lorenzo. Now, I just get both. The absolute best Sicilian slice in existence. This is the real Lorenzo's, not the South Street one. The decor reminds me of a classic pizza place, great service, tv always on with sports, pizza chefs and sandwich makers yelling at eachother over the TV. It's great.

Michael K.

I love this place. I was back in the old neighborhood yesterday and had lunch there with a friend. Well all I can say is that i forgot how god their pizza is. The taste of the sauce is perfection and blends so well with the cheese. And they use real mozzarella! So many other places use fake cheeses and processed foods; but not here. They make their sauce from scratch and they even make their own dough. The decor and staff are authentic old school Italian market and you will never find a friendlier group of people. SO if you are looking for an inexpensive delicious meal this is the place for you.

Delicious pizza and steaks fast and affordable right off of the Italian market. Grab a slice and a drink and enjoy a table outside for a great bite in south Philly

This is probably one of the top 3 WORST pizza slices I have ever eaten. Philly, you do a great cheesesteak...but don't hold this up as great pizza, because it sucks!!!! So much grease, raw dough.....BLECH. Don't eat this!!!

Very good cheese steaks and pizza. I've tried 9 pizza joints since moving back to Philly and have been fairly unimpressed. This may be my top pick so far for pizza.

Sometimes in life, a person just needs a slice of pizza. Other times, a person needs some fries. When a person wants those food stuffs, they want them good, fresh and hot. Lorenzo Pizza in the Italian market delivers that. I suspect, they're geared towards the tourists who like to visit the market offering Philly staples like the cheesesteak, hoagie, and assorted items with broccoli on them. However, the service was good and fast, while the pizza hit the spot. Some of the best since my last trip to Little Italy in Manhattan. And crinkle cut fries... you got it! Also, it's cash only. Otherwise you have to go across the street to the ATM and get a little south Philly stink eye from the otherwise nice old lady working the grocery market where the ATM sits.

I had heard good things, not sure if it was just bad timing( tuesday at 1pm) or if this is the set quality standard. Pizza wasn't freshly cooked, and the place was a bit dirty, staff was friendly.

Stopped at Lorenzo's this past week for some post exam lunch/dinner. We each had a slice and split and Italian hoagie. Pizza - the pizza was pretty good. Not the best I've ever had, but definjtely good. The sauce was perfect and the crust was fluffy with just a little crisp. Hoagie - the Italian sub really wasnt that good. The bread was sub par and the deli meats were bland. I found myself looking for flavor. I wouldn't recommend ordering subs from these guys; just stick to the pizza.

Jamie S.

Lorenzo's makes a cheap ass halfway decent pizza pie. A small is $6 and comes with 8 smallish slices. The crust is crisp, and the cheese level is spot on, the sauce has a good flavor but is a tad sweet and is missing that coagulation with the cheese that in my opinion can only be found in New York... but really though, very worth picking up. I have had far more abysmal slices in this city; this pizza was fully enjoyable. They serve battered broccoli, which I would be interested in trying on a later date. They also have the ever so important instructions on where to order in many languages and a pizza making version of Tickle me Elmo

My second favorite pizza place in Philly behind SOHO, Lorenzo's has great slices, and good cheesesteaks. Their crusts are great, they don't go crazy with the toppings, but between the pepperoni and the sausage, i'm always happy. They also sell dough, one of the hardest parts of making pizza at home is a good dough recipe, and they can make it easy. they ask that you order a day in advance, but if you're just looking for one, and you're nice, you might get lucky. Good pizza, good steaks, good fries, good people, don't miss Lorenzo Pizza in the market, just be sure to go early, they close at 7 most days, and i think 3 on sundays.

This place offered the best compromise between me and my boyfriend. I wanted pizza. He wanted cheesesteak. Stumbled upon Lorenzos while wandering around South Philly. The smell of their pizza lured me in. Boyfriend fell in love with their cheesesteaks. Being from NY I have to say their pizza was pretty darn good. 2 cheesesteaks and 2 slices of pizza later...we were stuffed. Lorenzos will be on our "must have" list every time we are in town.

Maggie M.

Lorenzo's i hands-down my absolute favorite place for Sicilian pizza in the entire metropolitan region. The only caveat is that they stop making it around 2:00 pm, so sometimes if you got there after that (actually often) they have none left. Their regular pizza is ok, their tomato pie (when they randomly make it) is just cheeseless pizza (but their sauce is delicious), and the regular fast food (burgers, steaks, chicken fingers, etc.) are alright. Everything is affordable. As i said, however, the Sicilian is to DIE for. $2.25 a slice, thick and chewy dough, deliciously garlicky sauce (my only bone of contention is that it's oftena little too sweet for me), and at least a half pound of gooey, stretchy, melty mozzarella on every piece! The best thing about Lorenzo's is that they have a service window on 9th street, so you can a) avoid the heat and lines inside and b) scope out whether or not they even have any sicilian left... p.s. i almost forgot that they have a tv by the register and they show just about every sporting event there is (all phillies games, olympics, even goofy local college team sports when nothing else is on)...

Lorenzos Pizza is the perfect grab-n-go place to get a slice of pizza near the italian market. Their pizza is pretty underrated - I don't hear people talk about this place much - but it's thin, crispy around the crust but more gooey at the bottom, not too greasy, and has the right ratio of cheese to sauce. They also make a pretty banging tomato pie, with lots of chunks of tomato and garlic. Their prices are also great - less than $2 a slice - which is a rare find in Philly. They have a few tables outside and also a few tables inside, but most people that come here are stopping to get a slice and be on their way. I wouldn't say the guys working are the friendliest bunch. I almost feel like I'm talking to Tony Soprano or Don Corleone when I step up to the window to order my slice, but that adds something cool to the whole atmosphere. One drawback is their hours - they always seem to be closed unless it's early afternoon saturday or sunday. I wish they would stay open later during the week because sometimes you just want to grab a slice, whereas places that are open later you usually have to order a whole pie. So if you're walking near the Italian Market and need a quick bite, def check our Lorenzos!

This place is not affiliated with the Lorenzo & Sons place on South Street with the giant slices - I don't know that for a fact, but I'll claim it and base it on Lorenzo's at 9th and Christian having other items besides pizza on their menu, having fairly friendly service, and of course, having regular-sized slices. Hopeful as I was upon arriving that I might enjoy a slice of giant pizza on that day, it wasn't a big deal. Our two cheesesteaks, side of onion rings, that single slice of plain, and a large drink came to a cool $17, which is one of the lowest prices for such a meal that I've seen anywhere around here. And sure enough, it was pretty good food. Not the best around, but perfectly acceptable, and easily one of the cheapest. Sometimes that matters more.

Solid pizza and cheesesteak. If your looking for something easy to grub on for two bucks, the plain slice of pizza is delicious. A must have when your cruising the italian market. Never disappointed when ordering food from the window. The people there are respectful and don't treat you like a tourist, like some others.

Solid cheesesteak. I got a mushroom cheesesteak and it was 100 times better than what I got at Pat's the previous day. My friend got a chicken cheesesteak hoagie and that was really good as well. The food was freshly prepared and was steaming hot when we got it. One star off for the approximately 25 minute wait, but it's worth a little wait to get a better quality steak.

I went to Lorenzo Pizza with my boyfriend and a group of friends at around 5-6? The pizzeria wasn't busy which was actually really nice because we didn't feel rushed. We considered going to Pizza Brain, but we all preferred the traditional style of pizza/atmosphere here.

Been here twice now. This will probably be my go-to spot for slices of pizza as they are pretty good and rather inexpensive. I am not a big fan of their cheesesteak but I know a lot of people in the neighborhood prefer these to Pat's and Geno's. I would agree with that, but you gotta head over to Cosmi's a little further down 8th for a pretty quality steak. Again, that's totally relative though. They got some nice people working behind the counter and the service is pretty quick. It's a nice to place to eat inside as well with all the ways of how to order your food in what seems like twenty or so different languages. Props to Lorenzo. I'll keep on patronizing.

I just had an amazing pizza cheese steak here. No cheeze whiz. Some hot peppers. Real tasty beef. Almost like some sort of marinade seasoning on the beef. Excellent. Tight for seating. More of a eat it on the go type place. Highly recommended

Danan R.

It's decent, greasy, and cheap pizza in the Italian Market. Not a lot of seating inside and the outside only has a few small tables/chairs outside, but the service is fast and friendly, and the pizza is authetically South Philly-ish: greasy with plenty of cheese on a not-too-thin-yet-still-crispy crust with a sweetish sauce (not as sweet as Franzone's). It's not a gourmet pie place and they don't pretend to be. It is a fast-food pizza stand that serves a very satisfying and artery-clogging slice that is perfect for eating while you stroll through the market. The slices are big, too, so one is more than enough for a meal. My sausage slice was only about $2.25, which made for a very inexpensive lunch. While the pizza itself is nothing extraordinary, it serves its purpose well and the friendly staff certainly doesn't hurt. Cash only!

Kate G.

A solid slice, a great place to stop while messing around the market, overall very good. My cheese was a bit too oily, but that wasn't a major issue for me. Good chewy, thin dough to a nice cheese ratio.

Wifey says..."The pizza here is OK...nothing too special. I probably wouldn't stop here again. It is however located in the "Italian market", so if you are shopping around its a good place to get a quick bite to eat. There was a line out the door, and not much room to sit inside and eat." Hubs says..."This place is your typical old school pizza place, no AC with fans running in the kitchen. Had a Philly cheese steak, and it wasn't as good as Pat's but was better than your run of the mill cheese steak. It's definitely a place you just stop in and eat if you are in the area, not a place to make a trip for.

Brendan O.

When it comes to a good "street slice", Lorenzo's is the best I've found so far in Philly... the closest thing to Brooklyn-authentic. NOTE: This place is unrelated to the overhyped, overpriced, and not nearly as good "Lorenzo & Son's" on South Street. Don't get them confused!
(4)
Colleen S.

The pizza is ok. We have ordered from here just because it is close, convenient and fast. My boyfriend and i shared a cheesesteak and a chicken cheesesteak the other day and i could not have been more disappointed. Definitely one of the least flavorful cheesesteaks I have had in Philly or anywhere else. Would try their pizza again, but never a cheesesteak.

Riley W.

I love these guys. The staff is always responsive and fast. The food is great and won't break the bank. Also, they aren't stingy on the cheese. Oh! And they make bangin' hoagies too.

Maya H.

VERY YUMMY unbelievable pizza! I'm from Jersey and know the difference between authentic pizza and the fast food kind. I was pleasantly surprised to get that authentic taste, and to show my two sons what real pizza tastes like after eating tons of pizza hut and little ceaser's on fridays in maryland, where it's almost impossible to find decent pizza. I loved the neighborhood, down-to-earth atmosphere - strictly no frills, strictly good Italian eatin'! You gotta love this place!

Coco D.

Now THIS is the pizza that is the shizza. Yes, go new word! This is the first pizza that I think I've had in Philly that has all the elements come together to give me that special....pizza majic? I'm not sure what it is, but I'm guessing it has to do with well seasoned sauce, a good cheese blend, just the right amount of grease, and delicious crunch on the bottom crust with soft fluffiness at the end. Within a few bites of my first slice, I knew I was in dangerous territory. This is the kind of shit where I could put down a whole large pizza by myself. Trust. It is wayyyyyyyy hard for me to keep it to one slice here. I wonder what the rest of the food is like...I so want to find out.
(4)
Gracie N.

Best pizza hands down so far for the price!!! I mean this placed was accidentally discovered after venturing down to Pat's for a cheese steak that left me rather unfulfilled. So the next time anyone is in the mood for pizza, this has to be the number one spot! I couldn't even describe how the pizza taste, but a slice of sausage pizza and large coke came to $3.50!
(5)
Jordan C.

Very Good Pizza! The dough has a discrete sweet taste to it. It is just legit old school NY style pizza. Also, the cheesesteaks look better than the ones from Geno's... more meat, better bread, and chopped meat unlike Geno's huge slabs. I'm definitely going back!
(4)
Isaac H.

Best pizza for the price. $1.50 slices and about $10 for a large 1 topping pizza. It's very good pizza, tastes better than you'd expect from what your paying for it. They have an outside window where you can order and a few seats outside for those summer pizza quests when you eat outside.

Jordan F.

A South Philly classic my family has been coming here for generations literally. This place will always have a special place in my heart. There pizza still Taste the same as it does when I was a kid I have to say best pizza I've ever had. I know people from New York and Chicago will disagree don't listen they are crazy.

With prices that will take you right back to 1995 and delicious pizza reminiscent of the kind I grew up on, it's no wonder that I love Lorenzo's. Located in the heart of the Italian Market (and not to be confused with Lorenzo's on South St.), Lorenzo's has my favorite pizza in the whole city. With pizza priced at $1.75 a slice, it is probably the cheapest dinner around. The pizza is pretty much perfect by my standards...not too greasy, not too saucy, not too cheesy, not too doughy, not too crispy. I haven't tried their other food yet, but you can watch the cooks make the cheesesteaks and burgers on the flattop grill and they always look and smell amazing. I also love that you can order at the window for a quick slice to go or have a seat inside. Although there's nothing visually fancy inside, I enjoy looking at the paper signs written in several different languages that are hanging above the grill. Since I've moved to Philly, I've been fortunate enough to have always lived within a half mile radius of this place. It's super convenient for quick Saturday or Sunday lunches when you spent way too much the night before and are feeling hungover and lazy. I just wish they were open late (or at least later).

Jeff H.

Food isn't bad, reasonably priced. Lunch for two with drinks and fries came to about $15. Bacon cheeseburger was okay. The bacon picked up the other flavors mingling on the grill and it was pretty delicious. They use frozen beef patties though, fresh would make a decent burger great. What was amazing was that with orders coming from about three different places at once they keep good track of things.
(3)
Jake B.

I had a slice of the plain pizza. $2 for a huge, tasty slice of pizza with chewy crust, fresh sauce, and not too greasy. Best pizza I've had since I left California. (This is the second time I went to Lorenzo's. It's not too far from my girlfriend's family's house, and she took me there for a cheese steak. Cheese steaks were good too, despite the fact that I'm not a huge fan of cheese steaks in general.)
(5)
Michael K.

Ok this is simple. This place won't blow you away but it's a solid pizza joint. the slices are tasty and exactly what you expect. A little greasy but good balance of cheese/sauce and a solid, relatively thin crust. The sicilian pizza is equally good. everything else is pretty much pizza shop standard. The guys here are actually pretty friendly and if you bring up a sports topic, they'll chat away with you.

Lorenzo's Pizza is a not uncommon Italian Market location. Small, friendly place that has a very neighborhood-y feel. We grabbed a slice of the regular Cheese pizza. It came out hot from the oven, a nice freshly baked pie. The pizza had a ratio that favored cheese over sauce. The cheese was delicious, a little gooey and hot coming off the steaming hot pie. This was definitely the type of slice that calls for some folding as the crust was not too thick. A very delicious slice of pizza. And at $1.50 a slice the price is definitely right!

Simon B.

I was at the festival at the Italian Market, so just picked up a couple of slices rather than eating in. I got a slice of pepperoni and a slice of white with broccoli. Both were really tasty, doughy, with a relatively thin base. I ate both within the space of a couple of minutes but didn't feel gross afterwards (a true measure of culinary quality)!

DestenÃ© S.

A great place to grab a slice while doing your Italian Market shopping. Certainly some of the better pizza in the city. My boyfriend loves the cheesesteaks and when feeling like a real fatty gets cheese fries also.

one of the top two pizza places in philadelphia. the lorenzo at the italian market has never let me down. it's always fresh, hot, and cheap. the best snack in south philly.

Lissete D.

The term "greasy spoon" adequately describes this place. Do don't go in expecting anything else and you will not be disappointed. That being said, the food was well priced, tasty and way better than expected. IMO, the pizza was huge and very good. As was the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. At a pizza place? Yep. It was actually better than at other places we tried! Now, I don't regard myself as a connoisseur or expert on either pizza and/ or PCS, but I do know what I like. And I liked it enough to overlook the greasy spoon aspect. And there aren't many places that I'm willing to overlook that part!

BEST LATE NIGHT PIZZA EVER. Hands down. I can't believe I haven't written a review of Lorenzo's until now. This place has the largest slices of pizza in the city and they are heavenly. They have the right balance of sauce and cheese and their dough is amazing. Their pizza is definitely not gourmet but rather what my brother's friends like to call "Friday Night Pizza"...in other words, it's semi-greasy and NYC style pizza. An entire pie is $25 but they package it in two regular size pizza boxes because they are so large. An entire pie can feed 6 hungry adults. I love going here late at night for a post-bar snack. They are open super late and the slices at 3am taste just as good as the ones you get at 8pm. They are consistently fast, courteous, and sometimes even friendly. Sadly they don't deliver but I kind of enjoy the experience of actually walking there and getting super excited for one of the best slices of Pizza in the city.

Cleanliness not exactly a strong suit and don't be surprised if they go straight from putting money in register to handling your pizza but it must all add to the flavor .... Very good large sized pizza slices with very reasonable prices ....

Pepperoni pizza was pretty good but not great... Good for the price I guess.. I'd recommend the mushroom though.

Suzie L.

This is my local pizza joint! They offer the best go-to neighborhood pizza (spoiled) since I can get a large pie for $12 with toppings. Can't beat that! Don't be fooled by the looks as it is your down and dirty pizza place. You come here for specific things, not to linger around and figure out what you want. The staff is friendly and food is always ready in 10-15 minutes. I normally get the sausage (which is ground sausage not chunks) and mushroom. The pizza is always fresh and still good the next morning. Obviously I'm a repeat customer here. FYI - They close early so when you have a late night craving you're out of luck.
(4)
Amy B.

Either the yelpers over sold this one, or maybe you just get used to your local pizza, or maybe it was a bad day but the pizza was just OK. A-OK as Yelp says. The pizza is neither thin nor thick. Sauce was plentiful. Cheese, no so much. Mushrooms were canned. Since they are in the Italian village I was hoping for something more autnentic; either authentic Italian or authentic Philly would have done.

Leslie S.

As good as it get! Best cheese steaks in Philly and always the best pizza you can get. Love, love, love Lorenzo's!

Dave R.

Everytime i went to the Italian Market with parents, they would get roast pork from George's, i would get Sicilian (CENTER SLICE IF POSSIBLE!) from Lorenzo. Now, I just get both. The absolute best Sicilian slice in existence. This is the real Lorenzo's, not the South Street one. The decor reminds me of a classic pizza place, great service, tv always on with sports, pizza chefs and sandwich makers yelling at eachother over the TV. It's great.
(5)
Michael K.

I love this place. I was back in the old neighborhood yesterday and had lunch there with a friend. Well all I can say is that i forgot how god their pizza is. The taste of the sauce is perfection and blends so well with the cheese. And they use real mozzarella! So many other places use fake cheeses and processed foods; but not here. They make their sauce from scratch and they even make their own dough. The decor and staff are authentic old school Italian market and you will never find a friendlier group of people. SO if you are looking for an inexpensive delicious meal this is the place for you.

This is probably one of the top 3 WORST pizza slices I have ever eaten. Philly, you do a great cheesesteak...but don't hold this up as great pizza, because it sucks!!!! So much grease, raw dough.....BLECH. Don't eat this!!!

Sometimes in life, a person just needs a slice of pizza. Other times, a person needs some fries. When a person wants those food stuffs, they want them good, fresh and hot. Lorenzo Pizza in the Italian market delivers that. I suspect, they're geared towards the tourists who like to visit the market offering Philly staples like the cheesesteak, hoagie, and assorted items with broccoli on them. However, the service was good and fast, while the pizza hit the spot. Some of the best since my last trip to Little Italy in Manhattan. And crinkle cut fries... you got it! Also, it's cash only. Otherwise you have to go across the street to the ATM and get a little south Philly stink eye from the otherwise nice old lady working the grocery market where the ATM sits.

Stopped at Lorenzo's this past week for some post exam lunch/dinner. We each had a slice and split and Italian hoagie. Pizza - the pizza was pretty good. Not the best I've ever had, but definjtely good. The sauce was perfect and the crust was fluffy with just a little crisp. Hoagie - the Italian sub really wasnt that good. The bread was sub par and the deli meats were bland. I found myself looking for flavor. I wouldn't recommend ordering subs from these guys; just stick to the pizza.
(3)
Jamie S.

Lorenzo's makes a cheap ass halfway decent pizza pie. A small is $6 and comes with 8 smallish slices. The crust is crisp, and the cheese level is spot on, the sauce has a good flavor but is a tad sweet and is missing that coagulation with the cheese that in my opinion can only be found in New York... but really though, very worth picking up. I have had far more abysmal slices in this city; this pizza was fully enjoyable. They serve battered broccoli, which I would be interested in trying on a later date. They also have the ever so important instructions on where to order in many languages and a pizza making version of Tickle me Elmo
(3)
Greg A.

My second favorite pizza place in Philly behind SOHO, Lorenzo's has great slices, and good cheesesteaks. Their crusts are great, they don't go crazy with the toppings, but between the pepperoni and the sausage, i'm always happy. They also sell dough, one of the hardest parts of making pizza at home is a good dough recipe, and they can make it easy. they ask that you order a day in advance, but if you're just looking for one, and you're nice, you might get lucky. Good pizza, good steaks, good fries, good people, don't miss Lorenzo Pizza in the market, just be sure to go early, they close at 7 most days, and i think 3 on sundays.

Raven P.

This place offered the best compromise between me and my boyfriend. I wanted pizza. He wanted cheesesteak. Stumbled upon Lorenzos while wandering around South Philly. The smell of their pizza lured me in. Boyfriend fell in love with their cheesesteaks. Being from NY I have to say their pizza was pretty darn good. 2 cheesesteaks and 2 slices of pizza later...we were stuffed. Lorenzos will be on our "must have" list every time we are in town.

Good pizza and good cheese steaks (Better than Pats AND Geno's). The only fault with the cheese steak is all the cheese was at the very bottom so it wasnt in every bite!? I got it with peppers and it was good. You will wait awhile for the food cuz of the area though but its worth it.

This place is as good as it gets for Philly pizza. I'm not talking about the wood-fired places and the ones where you can get smoked brussel sprouts on your slice. I mean Philly pizza- the good, cheesy, greasy, filling thing you're truly craving. Don't fight it: it's less than two bucks a slice, it's the cheapest addiction of your life. They have one of the rarest things in Philly, a good, doughy, chewy-enough crust that still remains relatively thin and easy to fold. It's a perfect balance between the thin and thick crust argument. Their sauce is sweet but still rich and flavorful, and they're the only people in a three-mile radius who seem to be able to put enough cheese on a slice for me. Delish. If pizza's not your thing... well, you should make pizza your thing. But if it's not, they have plenty of other stuff like cheesesteaks (better than any of the tourist traps, better rolls and better meat), chicken fingers and fries, and even a chicken parm sandwich that is quite tasty, with a scoop of the good red sauce over top. Their burger is my personal favorite, and it deserves its own paragraph. It's under four bucks for an enormous patty smothered in bacon, cheese, and fried onions. It's filling and has that wonderful griddle taste, considering that it's cooked on the same surface as the onions, bacons and peppers- yum. It's a classic diner-style burger on a sesame-seed roll. It's a no-brainer: get filled up for under eight bucks, enjoy the sports memorabilia and the friendly chat of the guys on the grill, and walk away happy. There's one more thing I always tell people when I'm talking about this place, and that's the collection of signs in many languages hung over the grill, all saying "please order and pay at the register." Ha. They've been written by lots of different people from different places, all just there for a sandwich or a slice. Food bringing people together, now that's a South Philly attitude I can get behind.

My favorite place for pizza right now. $10 for a large plain pie and it's ready in 15 minutes. My only complaints 1. they only accept cash. but I can get over it if it keeps the prices low 2. They are only open until 7pm. Come on, stay open until at least 8 or 9 so those of us who come home late can still have your delicious pizza for dinner. The pros are many, but the highlights are how inexpensive they are, the fact that they offer pizza by the slice as well as whole pies, and they have a nice variety of other things on the menu. I have to say I'm not a huge fan of their cheesesteak, but my boyfriend thinks it's one of the best in the city, so definitely a preference thing. You have to try it yourself to know. Thanks Lorenzos! Please stay open later!

Pips C.

_Loved_ the rough-and-tumble atmosphere--hand-written signs in multiple languages commanding you to order and pay at the register--but only _liked_ the pizza. Sauce a little sweet for my tastes--nice, chewy crust (but also a hint of sweetness). Even though our slices were re-heated, still tasted fresh. Definitely a cut above the typical slice. More than that....?

Best pizza for the price. $1.50 slices and about $10 for a large 1 topping pizza. It's very good pizza, tastes better than you'd expect from what your paying for it. They have an outside window where you can order and a few seats outside for those summer pizza quests when you eat outside.

A local told me this was one of their favorite cheesesteak spots, it a ok, nothing special. I should've tried the pizza

Lorenzo's Pizza is a not uncommon Italian Market location. Small, friendly place that has a very neighborhood-y feel. We grabbed a slice of the regular Cheese pizza. It came out hot from the oven, a nice freshly baked pie. The pizza had a ratio that favored cheese over sauce. The cheese was delicious, a little gooey and hot coming off the steaming hot pie. This was definitely the type of slice that calls for some folding as the crust was not too thick. A very delicious slice of pizza. And at $1.50 a slice the price is definitely right!

I love these guys. The staff is always responsive and fast. The food is great and won't break the bank. Also, they aren't stingy on the cheese. Oh! And they make bangin' hoagies too.

VERY YUMMY unbelievable pizza! I'm from Jersey and know the difference between authentic pizza and the fast food kind. I was pleasantly surprised to get that authentic taste, and to show my two sons what real pizza tastes like after eating tons of pizza hut and little ceaser's on fridays in maryland, where it's almost impossible to find decent pizza. I loved the neighborhood, down-to-earth atmosphere - strictly no frills, strictly good Italian eatin'! You gotta love this place!

Now THIS is the pizza that is the shizza. Yes, go new word! This is the first pizza that I think I've had in Philly that has all the elements come together to give me that special....pizza majic? I'm not sure what it is, but I'm guessing it has to do with well seasoned sauce, a good cheese blend, just the right amount of grease, and delicious crunch on the bottom crust with soft fluffiness at the end. Within a few bites of my first slice, I knew I was in dangerous territory. This is the kind of shit where I could put down a whole large pizza by myself. Trust. It is wayyyyyyyy hard for me to keep it to one slice here. I wonder what the rest of the food is like...I so want to find out.

A South Philly classic my family has been coming here for generations literally. This place will always have a special place in my heart. There pizza still Taste the same as it does when I was a kid I have to say best pizza I've ever had. I know people from New York and Chicago will disagree don't listen they are crazy.

With prices that will take you right back to 1995 and delicious pizza reminiscent of the kind I grew up on, it's no wonder that I love Lorenzo's. Located in the heart of the Italian Market (and not to be confused with Lorenzo's on South St.), Lorenzo's has my favorite pizza in the whole city. With pizza priced at $1.75 a slice, it is probably the cheapest dinner around. The pizza is pretty much perfect by my standards...not too greasy, not too saucy, not too cheesy, not too doughy, not too crispy. I haven't tried their other food yet, but you can watch the cooks make the cheesesteaks and burgers on the flattop grill and they always look and smell amazing. I also love that you can order at the window for a quick slice to go or have a seat inside. Although there's nothing visually fancy inside, I enjoy looking at the paper signs written in several different languages that are hanging above the grill. Since I've moved to Philly, I've been fortunate enough to have always lived within a half mile radius of this place. It's super convenient for quick Saturday or Sunday lunches when you spent way too much the night before and are feeling hungover and lazy. I just wish they were open late (or at least later).

Food isn't bad, reasonably priced. Lunch for two with drinks and fries came to about $15. Bacon cheeseburger was okay. The bacon picked up the other flavors mingling on the grill and it was pretty delicious. They use frozen beef patties though, fresh would make a decent burger great. What was amazing was that with orders coming from about three different places at once they keep good track of things.

Jake B.

I had a slice of the plain pizza. $2 for a huge, tasty slice of pizza with chewy crust, fresh sauce, and not too greasy. Best pizza I've had since I left California. (This is the second time I went to Lorenzo's. It's not too far from my girlfriend's family's house, and she took me there for a cheese steak. Cheese steaks were good too, despite the fact that I'm not a huge fan of cheese steaks in general.)
(5)
Michael K.

Ok this is simple. This place won't blow you away but it's a solid pizza joint. the slices are tasty and exactly what you expect. A little greasy but good balance of cheese/sauce and a solid, relatively thin crust. The sicilian pizza is equally good. everything else is pretty much pizza shop standard. The guys here are actually pretty friendly and if you bring up a sports topic, they'll chat away with you.

Simon B.

I was at the festival at the Italian Market, so just picked up a couple of slices rather than eating in. I got a slice of pepperoni and a slice of white with broccoli. Both were really tasty, doughy, with a relatively thin base. I ate both within the space of a couple of minutes but didn't feel gross afterwards (a true measure of culinary quality)!

Nick P.

When I tell people I go to Philly a lot, they ask me "Gino's or Pat's?" I say, "Neither, Lorenzo's!" The cheesesteaks are great, and it has a great South Philly / Italian Market vibe to it.

Tim O.

The special is two slices and soda for 4 bux. What a deal. could be the best in the city. dollar fifty slices on the menu. the crust is fluffy and the pizza isn't too crispy. It nearly melts in your mouth. The slices aren't huge. And the sauce is a little too sweet for my tastes. otherwise pretty good and i will go back.

I really thought the pizza was pretty bad. The crust was too thick...it just didn't taste that good either...maybe because it was the end of the day but I won't be going back there anytime soon.

Brynn D.

eek. for a place i've heard good things about i was sorely disappointed! first, i pull up on my bike and was going to lock it to a gate (totally out of the way). an old man sitting at one of the three tables screams out "don't lock it there!! don't lock it there!!" hrm, how about "hello there, would you mind finding another spot to lock your bike" if it's REALLY all that big a deal to him!! i almost left right then and there, because i feel that just cause you're old and YOU don't feel like you need to mince words anymore, doesn't mean you shouldn't. if the world consisted of a bunch of old farts without the pleasantries, imagine what a miserable place it would be. anyway. i ended up just locking my tire to the frame, leaning it against the building and getting in line. the pizza was just OK - the crust was good, but the sauce was disgustingly sweet. i hate sweet sauces. meh - there's plenty of good pizzerias i'll stick with.
(2)
Elizabeth P.

I tried this place based on good reviews from other yelpers. Those who gave their pizza a good review are right on! The crust is just the right thickness, not so thin that it flops over when you pick up a slice. The crust is perfectly crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. It has a nice chewiness and flavor to it. The sauce is slightly sweet, but has a hint of authentic Italian spices. They don't skimp on the cheese. It tastes like quality mozzarella, maybe a bit of Romano or asiago in there too. Even though I had to walk a long ways to pick up my pie, I would be happy to make the trip again. Good pie for a good price.
(5)
Garrett W.

For a neighborhood pizza restaurant where you just want to get a slice, this is the place to go. They'll throw on any topping you want, instead of limiting you to the topping selection of the pre-cooked pizza you find at most restaurants selling slices. And the friendly service is always a plus.

Juan F.

I'm from New York. Mistakenly chose this place as my 1st to try Philidelphia's cheesesteak. My local deli makes a better cheesesteak than these guys. After taking a bite I wasn't sure if I ordered a Philly onion sandwich or a cheesesteak... it's loaded with chopped onions! I was not impressed at all. (not to mention the 15 mins I spent waiting for the sandwich). I also figured I'd get a slicejust to see what the big fuss was about, it was just average at best. I liked Philly and it's rich culture, and proud people, but if you want real pizza, NYC is where it's at.

Kimberly P.

Lorenzo's is located at the beginning of the Italian Market, and it looks like it. This dingy corner pizza shop looks like nothing special on the outside or the inside. The staff were friendly but rung me up for a large mozzarella sticks, though I plainly ordered a small. The pizza was good and the mozzarella was just ok; it was obviously the frozen kind. Lorenzo's is hit or miss for me.

A great place to grab a slice while doing your Italian Market shopping. Certainly some of the better pizza in the city. My boyfriend loves the cheesesteaks and when feeling like a real fatty gets cheese fries also.

one of the top two pizza places in philadelphia. the lorenzo at the italian market has never let me down. it's always fresh, hot, and cheap. the best snack in south philly.

Maggie M.

Lorenzo's i hands-down my absolute favorite place for Sicilian pizza in the entire metropolitan region. The only caveat is that they stop making it around 2:00 pm, so sometimes if you got there after that (actually often) they have none left. Their regular pizza is ok, their tomato pie (when they randomly make it) is just cheeseless pizza (but their sauce is delicious), and the regular fast food (burgers, steaks, chicken fingers, etc.) are alright. Everything is affordable. As i said, however, the Sicilian is to DIE for. $2.25 a slice, thick and chewy dough, deliciously garlicky sauce (my only bone of contention is that it's oftena little too sweet for me), and at least a half pound of gooey, stretchy, melty mozzarella on every piece! The best thing about Lorenzo's is that they have a service window on 9th street, so you can a) avoid the heat and lines inside and b) scope out whether or not they even have any sicilian left... p.s. i almost forgot that they have a tv by the register and they show just about every sporting event there is (all phillies games, olympics, even goofy local college team sports when nothing else is on)...

Danan R.

It's decent, greasy, and cheap pizza in the Italian Market. Not a lot of seating inside and the outside only has a few small tables/chairs outside, but the service is fast and friendly, and the pizza is authetically South Philly-ish: greasy with plenty of cheese on a not-too-thin-yet-still-crispy crust with a sweetish sauce (not as sweet as Franzone's). It's not a gourmet pie place and they don't pretend to be. It is a fast-food pizza stand that serves a very satisfying and artery-clogging slice that is perfect for eating while you stroll through the market. The slices are big, too, so one is more than enough for a meal. My sausage slice was only about $2.25, which made for a very inexpensive lunch. While the pizza itself is nothing extraordinary, it serves its purpose well and the friendly staff certainly doesn't hurt. Cash only!

Michael S.

Stopped at Lorenzo's this past week for some post exam lunch/dinner. We each had a slice and split and Italian hoagie. Pizza - the pizza was pretty good. Not the best I've ever had, but definjtely good. The sauce was perfect and the crust was fluffy with just a little crisp. Hoagie - the Italian sub really wasnt that good. The bread was sub par and the deli meats were bland. I found myself looking for flavor. I wouldn't recommend ordering subs from these guys; just stick to the pizza.
(3)
Jamie S.

Lorenzo's makes a cheap ass halfway decent pizza pie. A small is $6 and comes with 8 smallish slices. The crust is crisp, and the cheese level is spot on, the sauce has a good flavor but is a tad sweet and is missing that coagulation with the cheese that in my opinion can only be found in New York... but really though, very worth picking up. I have had far more abysmal slices in this city; this pizza was fully enjoyable. They serve battered broccoli, which I would be interested in trying on a later date. They also have the ever so important instructions on where to order in many languages and a pizza making version of Tickle me Elmo

Greg A.

My second favorite pizza place in Philly behind SOHO, Lorenzo's has great slices, and good cheesesteaks. Their crusts are great, they don't go crazy with the toppings, but between the pepperoni and the sausage, i'm always happy. They also sell dough, one of the hardest parts of making pizza at home is a good dough recipe, and they can make it easy. they ask that you order a day in advance, but if you're just looking for one, and you're nice, you might get lucky. Good pizza, good steaks, good fries, good people, don't miss Lorenzo Pizza in the market, just be sure to go early, they close at 7 most days, and i think 3 on sundays.

Raven P.

This place offered the best compromise between me and my boyfriend. I wanted pizza. He wanted cheesesteak. Stumbled upon Lorenzos while wandering around South Philly. The smell of their pizza lured me in. Boyfriend fell in love with their cheesesteaks. Being from NY I have to say their pizza was pretty darn good. 2 cheesesteaks and 2 slices of pizza later...we were stuffed. Lorenzos will be on our "must have" list every time we are in town.
(5)
Peter D.

Been here twice now. This will probably be my go-to spot for slices of pizza as they are pretty good and rather inexpensive. I am not a big fan of their cheesesteak but I know a lot of people in the neighborhood prefer these to Pat's and Geno's. I would agree with that, but you gotta head over to Cosmi's a little further down 8th for a pretty quality steak. Again, that's totally relative though. They got some nice people working behind the counter and the service is pretty quick. It's a nice to place to eat inside as well with all the ways of how to order your food in what seems like twenty or so different languages. Props to Lorenzo. I'll keep on patronizing.

Tom S.

This place is not affiliated with the Lorenzo & Sons place on South Street with the giant slices - I don't know that for a fact, but I'll claim it and base it on Lorenzo's at 9th and Christian having other items besides pizza on their menu, having fairly friendly service, and of course, having regular-sized slices. Hopeful as I was upon arriving that I might enjoy a slice of giant pizza on that day, it wasn't a big deal. Our two cheesesteaks, side of onion rings, that single slice of plain, and a large drink came to a cool $17, which is one of the lowest prices for such a meal that I've seen anywhere around here. And sure enough, it was pretty good food. Not the best around, but perfectly acceptable, and easily one of the cheapest. Sometimes that matters more.

Ken D.

Solid pizza and cheesesteak. If your looking for something easy to grub on for two bucks, the plain slice of pizza is delicious. A must have when your cruising the italian market. Never disappointed when ordering food from the window. The people there are respectful and don't treat you like a tourist, like some others.

I just had an amazing pizza cheese steak here. No cheeze whiz. Some hot peppers. Real tasty beef. Almost like some sort of marinade seasoning on the beef. Excellent. Tight for seating. More of a eat it on the go type place. Highly recommended

I went to Lorenzo Pizza with my boyfriend and a group of friends at around 5-6? The pizzeria wasn't busy which was actually really nice because we didn't feel rushed. We considered going to Pizza Brain, but we all preferred the traditional style of pizza/atmosphere here.

Molly E.

Solid cheesesteak. I got a mushroom cheesesteak and it was 100 times better than what I got at Pat's the previous day. My friend got a chicken cheesesteak hoagie and that was really good as well. The food was freshly prepared and was steaming hot when we got it. One star off for the approximately 25 minute wait, but it's worth a little wait to get a better quality steak.

Kate G.

A solid slice, a great place to stop while messing around the market, overall very good. My cheese was a bit too oily, but that wasn't a major issue for me. Good chewy, thin dough to a nice cheese ratio.

Chuck L.

Sometimes in life, a person just needs a slice of pizza. Other times, a person needs some fries. When a person wants those food stuffs, they want them good, fresh and hot. Lorenzo Pizza in the Italian market delivers that. I suspect, they're geared towards the tourists who like to visit the market offering Philly staples like the cheesesteak, hoagie, and assorted items with broccoli on them. However, the service was good and fast, while the pizza hit the spot. Some of the best since my last trip to Little Italy in Manhattan. And crinkle cut fries... you got it! Also, it's cash only. Otherwise you have to go across the street to the ATM and get a little south Philly stink eye from the otherwise nice old lady working the grocery market where the ATM sits.

Lorenzos Pizza is the perfect grab-n-go place to get a slice of pizza near the italian market. Their pizza is pretty underrated - I don't hear people talk about this place much - but it's thin, crispy around the crust but more gooey at the bottom, not too greasy, and has the right ratio of cheese to sauce. They also make a pretty banging tomato pie, with lots of chunks of tomato and garlic. Their prices are also great - less than $2 a slice - which is a rare find in Philly. They have a few tables outside and also a few tables inside, but most people that come here are stopping to get a slice and be on their way. I wouldn't say the guys working are the friendliest bunch. I almost feel like I'm talking to Tony Soprano or Don Corleone when I step up to the window to order my slice, but that adds something cool to the whole atmosphere. One drawback is their hours - they always seem to be closed unless it's early afternoon saturday or sunday. I wish they would stay open later during the week because sometimes you just want to grab a slice, whereas places that are open later you usually have to order a whole pie. So if you're walking near the Italian Market and need a quick bite, def check our Lorenzos!

Brendan O.

When it comes to a good "street slice", Lorenzo's is the best I've found so far in Philly... the closest thing to Brooklyn-authentic. NOTE: This place is unrelated to the overhyped, overpriced, and not nearly as good "Lorenzo & Son's" on South Street. Don't get them confused!

Orlangela A.

Wifey says..."The pizza here is OK...nothing too special. I probably wouldn't stop here again. It is however located in the "Italian market", so if you are shopping around its a good place to get a quick bite to eat. There was a line out the door, and not much room to sit inside and eat." Hubs says..."This place is your typical old school pizza place, no AC with fans running in the kitchen. Had a Philly cheese steak, and it wasn't as good as Pat's but was better than your run of the mill cheese steak. It's definitely a place you just stop in and eat if you are in the area, not a place to make a trip for.

Ben M.

Great pizza. A bit expensive, but the slices are more than generous (where can you even find bigger ones?!) and always delicious. The only downside is the staff, who are less than approachable, but I guess that's part of the ambience.
(4)
Brian M.

Good pizza and good cheese steaks (Better than Pats AND Geno's). The only fault with the cheese steak is all the cheese was at the very bottom so it wasnt in every bite!? I got it with peppers and it was good. You will wait awhile for the food cuz of the area though but its worth it.

Pips C.

_Loved_ the rough-and-tumble atmosphere--hand-written signs in multiple languages commanding you to order and pay at the register--but only _liked_ the pizza. Sauce a little sweet for my tastes--nice, chewy crust (but also a hint of sweetness). Even though our slices were re-heated, still tasted fresh. Definitely a cut above the typical slice. More than that....?

The pizza is ok. We have ordered from here just because it is close, convenient and fast. My boyfriend and i shared a cheesesteak and a chicken cheesesteak the other day and i could not have been more disappointed. Definitely one of the least flavorful cheesesteaks I have had in Philly or anywhere else. Would try their pizza again, but never a cheesesteak.

Lisa D.

This place is as good as it gets for Philly pizza. I'm not talking about the wood-fired places and the ones where you can get smoked brussel sprouts on your slice. I mean Philly pizza- the good, cheesy, greasy, filling thing you're truly craving. Don't fight it: it's less than two bucks a slice, it's the cheapest addiction of your life. They have one of the rarest things in Philly, a good, doughy, chewy-enough crust that still remains relatively thin and easy to fold. It's a perfect balance between the thin and thick crust argument. Their sauce is sweet but still rich and flavorful, and they're the only people in a three-mile radius who seem to be able to put enough cheese on a slice for me. Delish. If pizza's not your thing... well, you should make pizza your thing. But if it's not, they have plenty of other stuff like cheesesteaks (better than any of the tourist traps, better rolls and better meat), chicken fingers and fries, and even a chicken parm sandwich that is quite tasty, with a scoop of the good red sauce over top. Their burger is my personal favorite, and it deserves its own paragraph. It's under four bucks for an enormous patty smothered in bacon, cheese, and fried onions. It's filling and has that wonderful griddle taste, considering that it's cooked on the same surface as the onions, bacons and peppers- yum. It's a classic diner-style burger on a sesame-seed roll. It's a no-brainer: get filled up for under eight bucks, enjoy the sports memorabilia and the friendly chat of the guys on the grill, and walk away happy. There's one more thing I always tell people when I'm talking about this place, and that's the collection of signs in many languages hung over the grill, all saying "please order and pay at the register." Ha. They've been written by lots of different people from different places, all just there for a sandwich or a slice. Food bringing people together, now that's a South Philly attitude I can get behind.

Emily M.

My favorite place for pizza right now. $10 for a large plain pie and it's ready in 15 minutes. My only complaints 1. they only accept cash. but I can get over it if it keeps the prices low 2. They are only open until 7pm. Come on, stay open until at least 8 or 9 so those of us who come home late can still have your delicious pizza for dinner. The pros are many, but the highlights are how inexpensive they are, the fact that they offer pizza by the slice as well as whole pies, and they have a nice variety of other things on the menu. I have to say I'm not a huge fan of their cheesesteak, but my boyfriend thinks it's one of the best in the city, so definitely a preference thing. You have to try it yourself to know. Thanks Lorenzos! Please stay open later!

Best pizza hands down so far for the price!!! I mean this placed was accidentally discovered after venturing down to Pat's for a cheese steak that left me rather unfulfilled. So the next time anyone is in the mood for pizza, this has to be the number one spot! I couldn't even describe how the pizza taste, but a slice of sausage pizza and large coke came to $3.50!
(5)
Jordan C.

Very Good Pizza! The dough has a discrete sweet taste to it. It is just legit old school NY style pizza. Also, the cheesesteaks look better than the ones from Geno's... more meat, better bread, and chopped meat unlike Geno's huge slabs. I'm definitely going back!
(4)
Isaac H.

Best pizza for the price. $1.50 slices and about $10 for a large 1 topping pizza. It's very good pizza, tastes better than you'd expect from what your paying for it. They have an outside window where you can order and a few seats outside for those summer pizza quests when you eat outside.

The term "greasy spoon" adequately describes this place. Do don't go in expecting anything else and you will not be disappointed. That being said, the food was well priced, tasty and way better than expected. IMO, the pizza was huge and very good. As was the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. At a pizza place? Yep. It was actually better than at other places we tried! Now, I don't regard myself as a connoisseur or expert on either pizza and/ or PCS, but I do know what I like. And I liked it enough to overlook the greasy spoon aspect. And there aren't many places that I'm willing to overlook that part!

BEST LATE NIGHT PIZZA EVER. Hands down. I can't believe I haven't written a review of Lorenzo's until now. This place has the largest slices of pizza in the city and they are heavenly. They have the right balance of sauce and cheese and their dough is amazing. Their pizza is definitely not gourmet but rather what my brother's friends like to call "Friday Night Pizza"...in other words, it's semi-greasy and NYC style pizza. An entire pie is $25 but they package it in two regular size pizza boxes because they are so large. An entire pie can feed 6 hungry adults. I love going here late at night for a post-bar snack. They are open super late and the slices at 3am taste just as good as the ones you get at 8pm. They are consistently fast, courteous, and sometimes even friendly. Sadly they don't deliver but I kind of enjoy the experience of actually walking there and getting super excited for one of the best slices of Pizza in the city.

This is my local pizza joint! They offer the best go-to neighborhood pizza (spoiled) since I can get a large pie for $12 with toppings. Can't beat that! Don't be fooled by the looks as it is your down and dirty pizza place. You come here for specific things, not to linger around and figure out what you want. The staff is friendly and food is always ready in 10-15 minutes. I normally get the sausage (which is ground sausage not chunks) and mushroom. The pizza is always fresh and still good the next morning. Obviously I'm a repeat customer here. FYI - They close early so when you have a late night craving you're out of luck.

Either the yelpers over sold this one, or maybe you just get used to your local pizza, or maybe it was a bad day but the pizza was just OK. A-OK as Yelp says. The pizza is neither thin nor thick. Sauce was plentiful. Cheese, no so much. Mushrooms were canned. Since they are in the Italian village I was hoping for something more autnentic; either authentic Italian or authentic Philly would have done.

As good as it get! Best cheese steaks in Philly and always the best pizza you can get. Love, love, love Lorenzo's!

One of the best places to eat in Philly. The doors is great and the service is very friendly. Sausage and Perra is awesome. Also... One of the only RR on 9th street, for customers only n

Everytime i went to the Italian Market with parents, they would get roast pork from George's, i would get Sicilian (CENTER SLICE IF POSSIBLE!) from Lorenzo. Now, I just get both. The absolute best Sicilian slice in existence. This is the real Lorenzo's, not the South Street one. The decor reminds me of a classic pizza place, great service, tv always on with sports, pizza chefs and sandwich makers yelling at eachother over the TV. It's great.

I love this place. I was back in the old neighborhood yesterday and had lunch there with a friend. Well all I can say is that i forgot how god their pizza is. The taste of the sauce is perfection and blends so well with the cheese. And they use real mozzarella! So many other places use fake cheeses and processed foods; but not here. They make their sauce from scratch and they even make their own dough. The decor and staff are authentic old school Italian market and you will never find a friendlier group of people. SO if you are looking for an inexpensive delicious meal this is the place for you.

Delicious pizza and steaks fast and affordable right off of the Italian market. Grab a slice and a drink and enjoy a table outside for a great bite in south Philly

This is probably one of the top 3 WORST pizza slices I have ever eaten. Philly, you do a great cheesesteak...but don't hold this up as great pizza, because it sucks!!!! So much grease, raw dough.....BLECH. Don't eat this!!!

Great pizza! I wish the didn't close at dinner time. I would also recommend the bacon cheesesteak.

Very good cheese steaks and pizza. I've tried 9 pizza joints since moving back to Philly and have been fairly unimpressed. This may be my top pick so far for pizza.

Lorenzo's Pizza is a not uncommon Italian Market location. Small, friendly place that has a very neighborhood-y feel. We grabbed a slice of the regular Cheese pizza. It came out hot from the oven, a nice freshly baked pie. The pizza had a ratio that favored cheese over sauce. The cheese was delicious, a little gooey and hot coming off the steaming hot pie. This was definitely the type of slice that calls for some folding as the crust was not too thick. A very delicious slice of pizza. And at $1.50 a slice the price is definitely right!

I love these guys. The staff is always responsive and fast. The food is great and won't break the bank. Also, they aren't stingy on the cheese. Oh! And they make bangin' hoagies too.

With prices that will take you right back to 1995 and delicious pizza reminiscent of the kind I grew up on, it's no wonder that I love Lorenzo's. Located in the heart of the Italian Market (and not to be confused with Lorenzo's on South St.), Lorenzo's has my favorite pizza in the whole city. With pizza priced at $1.75 a slice, it is probably the cheapest dinner around. The pizza is pretty much perfect by my standards...not too greasy, not too saucy, not too cheesy, not too doughy, not too crispy. I haven't tried their other food yet, but you can watch the cooks make the cheesesteaks and burgers on the flattop grill and they always look and smell amazing. I also love that you can order at the window for a quick slice to go or have a seat inside. Although there's nothing visually fancy inside, I enjoy looking at the paper signs written in several different languages that are hanging above the grill. Since I've moved to Philly, I've been fortunate enough to have always lived within a half mile radius of this place. It's super convenient for quick Saturday or Sunday lunches when you spent way too much the night before and are feeling hungover and lazy. I just wish they were open late (or at least later).

Food isn't bad, reasonably priced. Lunch for two with drinks and fries came to about $15. Bacon cheeseburger was okay. The bacon picked up the other flavors mingling on the grill and it was pretty delicious. They use frozen beef patties though, fresh would make a decent burger great. What was amazing was that with orders coming from about three different places at once they keep good track of things.

I had a slice of the plain pizza. $2 for a huge, tasty slice of pizza with chewy crust, fresh sauce, and not too greasy. Best pizza I've had since I left California. (This is the second time I went to Lorenzo's. It's not too far from my girlfriend's family's house, and she took me there for a cheese steak. Cheese steaks were good too, despite the fact that I'm not a huge fan of cheese steaks in general.)

Michael K.

Ok this is simple. This place won't blow you away but it's a solid pizza joint. the slices are tasty and exactly what you expect. A little greasy but good balance of cheese/sauce and a solid, relatively thin crust. The sicilian pizza is equally good. everything else is pretty much pizza shop standard. The guys here are actually pretty friendly and if you bring up a sports topic, they'll chat away with you.

The best food around in S.Philly

I was at the festival at the Italian Market, so just picked up a couple of slices rather than eating in. I got a slice of pepperoni and a slice of white with broccoli. Both were really tasty, doughy, with a relatively thin base. I ate both within the space of a couple of minutes but didn't feel gross afterwards (a true measure of culinary quality)!

Nick P.

When I tell people I go to Philly a lot, they ask me "Gino's or Pat's?" I say, "Neither, Lorenzo's!" The cheesesteaks are great, and it has a great South Philly / Italian Market vibe to it.

Tim O.

The special is two slices and soda for 4 bux. What a deal. could be the best in the city. dollar fifty slices on the menu. the crust is fluffy and the pizza isn't too crispy. It nearly melts in your mouth. The slices aren't huge. And the sauce is a little too sweet for my tastes. otherwise pretty good and i will go back.

Their cheesesteak stromboli was heavenly. I hadn't had one since I was a kid and it was just like I remembered. Props to the owner for being cool with my husband going in there in Mets gear. ;]

They make pizza the way I like it! Crispy crust. Less sauce than most in the city. Good cheese. Good spices! Cheap!

Kim R.

I really thought the pizza was pretty bad. The crust was too thick...it just didn't taste that good either...maybe because it was the end of the day but I won't be going back there anytime soon.

eek. for a place i've heard good things about i was sorely disappointed! first, i pull up on my bike and was going to lock it to a gate (totally out of the way). an old man sitting at one of the three tables screams out "don't lock it there!! don't lock it there!!" hrm, how about "hello there, would you mind finding another spot to lock your bike" if it's REALLY all that big a deal to him!! i almost left right then and there, because i feel that just cause you're old and YOU don't feel like you need to mince words anymore, doesn't mean you shouldn't. if the world consisted of a bunch of old farts without the pleasantries, imagine what a miserable place it would be. anyway. i ended up just locking my tire to the frame, leaning it against the building and getting in line. the pizza was just OK - the crust was good, but the sauce was disgustingly sweet. i hate sweet sauces. meh - there's plenty of good pizzerias i'll stick with.

I tried this place based on good reviews from other yelpers. Those who gave their pizza a good review are right on! The crust is just the right thickness, not so thin that it flops over when you pick up a slice. The crust is perfectly crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside. It has a nice chewiness and flavor to it. The sauce is slightly sweet, but has a hint of authentic Italian spices. They don't skimp on the cheese. It tastes like quality mozzarella, maybe a bit of Romano or asiago in there too. Even though I had to walk a long ways to pick up my pie, I would be happy to make the trip again. Good pie for a good price.

For a neighborhood pizza restaurant where you just want to get a slice, this is the place to go. They'll throw on any topping you want, instead of limiting you to the topping selection of the pre-cooked pizza you find at most restaurants selling slices. And the friendly service is always a plus.

Kimberly P.

Lorenzo's is located at the beginning of the Italian Market, and it looks like it. This dingy corner pizza shop looks like nothing special on the outside or the inside. The staff were friendly but rung me up for a large mozzarella sticks, though I plainly ordered a small. The pizza was good and the mozzarella was just ok; it was obviously the frozen kind. Lorenzo's is hit or miss for me.

I'm from New York. Mistakenly chose this place as my 1st to try Philidelphia's cheesesteak. My local deli makes a better cheesesteak than these guys. After taking a bite I wasn't sure if I ordered a Philly onion sandwich or a cheesesteak... it's loaded with chopped onions! I was not impressed at all. (not to mention the 15 mins I spent waiting for the sandwich). I also figured I'd get a slicejust to see what the big fuss was about, it was just average at best. I liked Philly and it's rich culture, and proud people, but if you want real pizza, NYC is where it's at.

A great place to grab a slice while doing your Italian Market shopping. Certainly some of the better pizza in the city. My boyfriend loves the cheesesteaks and when feeling like a real fatty gets cheese fries also.
