Stopped here during my lunch break from work one day and was pleased with how quickly my food was ready after I ordered it. Even though I wasn't eating in, the environment wasn't extremely busy, the place itself was clean, and my burger combo left me full and satisfied. They have a pretty wide range of selections, so if you're not in the mood for a burger, they offer pizza, pasta dishes, all kinds of sandwiches (including deli sandwiches, clubs, cheesesteaks, paninis, wraps, and pita pockets)...even quesadillas! And to top it off, they offer a small selection of desserts. Definitely a great place to have in the neighborhood for a quick bite.

We were staying nearby and had several meals here. We tried several meals and the cheesesteaks were very good and never greasy. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Great fresh ingredients, nice friendly staff. Got to taste the steak Philly cheesesteak w American cheese, peppers and onions as well as he chicken cheesesteak with pepperoni, Peppers, onions and American cheese. Big were the best we've had in town. Thanks for making our great meal!

Got it for delivery over the weekend - called with less than an hour before closing - no problem delivering. How long did an order for Foogie fries (all the fixings - cheese, bacon, etc), Wing Dings, Buffalo chicken tenders, and a cheesesteak take? Probably close to 20 minutes. Ridiculously fast! Everything was great as always. This review is more for the cheesesteak. On my quest for a decent Philly cheesesteak - this one isn't too satisfying. The meat is chopped too finely. The cheese isn't dispersed all around (ate half of it the next day with some asiago melted within). The search continues ... But besides the cheesesteak - Pandora's is the bomb.

I'm new to Philly, and admittedly, this was my first actual Philly Cheesesteak in Philly, but I thought it was great. - I tried the chickensteak today, which was not nearly as good, but they still get 4 stars for being inexpensive and having a good cheesesteak.

This is my boyfriend & I's favorite "secret spot" we come here often and always are glad with our choices. They have a great pesto chicken dish, chicken tenders, teriyaki chicken wrap & our fav..the teriyaki chicken wings. Sometimes they can fry them a little hard but u can mention how crispy u want them. Overall great food not greasy and filling.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I used to work here as my first job when I was younger and always loved their food and almost ten years later nothing has changed. Everything is so flavorful and always made to perfection, definitely check this place out if youre looking for somewhere to eat!

Was in town for a seminar and decided to eat here. The special was cheesesteak fries and a soda. Have to say one of the best cheesesteaks I have had

I've been eating lunch at Pandora's for a while now, and I'm surprised I never reviewed this place. This is one of my favorite lunch spots in Center City. I hate going to the typical chain restaurants all of the time, so it's nice to go to a "mom and pop" kind of restaurant. The grilled chicken wrap with sauteed spinach and provolone is definitely a good choice for wrap eaters. The buffalo chicken wrap is spicy, but not that uncomfortable to the point where you're popping Tums or Rolaids like candy after eating it. Lately, my favorite has been the medi chicken panini, which is a panini with roasted red pepper spread, chargrilled chicken, provolone and spinach on a ciabatta bread. I'm writing this review right before my lunch break and I think I know where I'm headed. Maybe I'll try one of their gyros this time. I'll keep you posted.

I usually love this place, but they love to close the "kitchen" early. Don't be surprised if when you call 15-20 minutes before closing if they are no longer cooking.

Very good for what it is. Prices are very inexpensive and I opted for the small 10"pizza and can of soda special which is $6.29 before tax. I added pepperoni and spent a total of $8 on my meal. Pizza was good, not great, and similar to the Greek style pizza that abounds in Philly. Overall, I was more than happy with my meal for the amount I spent.

My boyfriend and I end up getting take-out from Pandora every weekend. Their gyro's are delish, they make a Monterey chicken salad that has become a staple in my diet, the stuffed tomatoes are good, their deli sandwiches have fresh rye bread, and their Italian food is legit (from what my bf says, and he is Italian, so he knows). I ordered the "Cranburger" once and that was totally gross, but hey, ya can't win 'em all! They give you large portions of food, so an entree can easily be split between two people if you're not super hungry (including salads). I'm also borderline celiac, so from time to time I need to request that certain ingredients be removed or substituted, and they always hook up it up without complaint. Oh, and they have a pretty good selection of canned soda, (I get super excited when I find soda in cans vs. the 20oz plastic bottles)! Good job guys!

Chicken salad sandwich was good. Roll the the sandwich came on was above average but not great. Pizza was trash.

Awesome place! The owner was so attentive and even gifted my table a basket of fries, which were absolutely delicious. I has the Veggie Maxx salad: the fig marmalade was exquisite and the whole salad was fantastic and filling. All of my friends loved their dishes. One had a cheese pizza that looked so cheesy and yummy. Two others had pasta and were so happy with their choices. Next time I come to Philly, I'm definitely stopping by!

I just went here for lunch this afternoon. It's a nice little venue with some dine-in seating. The place was clean and neat (which is a big deal to me) I ordered the beef gyro. I'm not expert on gyros, but I enjoyed theirs very much. It was very tasty and the lettuce and tomatoes were very fresh. __________________________________________________Â____ Second visit: I was craving some plain old chicken fingers and french fries, so I decided to give Pandora's another shot. I got the Chicken fingers platter with french fries and cole slaw. The portion was HUGE! I was very pleased with the meal.

Great service and very friendly. The few items I've tried have just been "ok" though. But a friend absolutely loves their caesar salad with chicken and bacon

These guys have a huge menu. I tried the beef gyro and fries for a fast working lunch back in my hotel room. The girl at the register was a bit on the snippy side and cut me off before I was done ordering. The gyro meat is frozen that comes in a box. I know that because I saw them pull a cardboard box called "Gyro Meat". That said, it was still okay. Very hot, maybe a bit too much lettuce. The fries were good. They place seemed busy. If I lived in the area, I'd come here again.

I actually had a good experience here. When I cam - about 7 PM on a Wednesday night - the place was nearly empty and I had a great cooked to order chicken cutlet sandwich. The food was great and the side salad I also ordered had fresh (iceberg) lettuce and lots of nice tomatoes and cucmber slices. I would definitely pick up another quick meal here. Npot sure about the pizza - the slices didn't appeal. Maybe a whole pie - freshly baked would be a better option.

I've had better microwaveable pizza. Don't let the $6.50 deal fool you. Maybe it is because I am from New York that I have such high standards when it comes to pizza, but the mere fact this establishment is categorized as "Pizza" sorrows the seas of my heart. I urge you to never go here.

Reading some the more negative reviews, it seems that most people dislike the prices here. When I first came in and saw the prices, I would have agreed with this sentiment, however after eating my meal I have to disagree! First of all, let me start out by saying Pandora's offers just about EVERYTHING you could want for a meal! In the mood for a small pizza pie? Check. Maybe a reuben sandwich? Check. Or how about a quesadilla? Check. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. Anyhow, when I saw that they offered a buffalo chicken stromboli, I was sold. The thing cost like $8, but the effective cost was actually more like $4 since I got 2 whole meals out of it! This thing was huge, my only criticism is there is no point calling this a stromboli when clearly it was a calzone stuffed with chicken, buffalo sauce, and bleu cheese. Now I will admit I've had tastier buffalo chicken concoctions elsewhere, but in now way did this item taste bad. I mean look, if you are coming here expecting a 5 star, gourmet meal then your standards are clearly off. Pandora's is what it is, a place where you come and get just about anything you want for lunch/dinner at reasonable to slightly above reasonable prices. As added bonuses, the staff here seem pretty friendly, they offer free delivery (although I do not know what their delivery radius is), and you can even order online (if you register, you even get 10% off all online orders!) So, the next time you're having one of those days where you just don't know what to get for dinner, drop by Pandora's and I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Ordered turkey sandwich on wheat. Lots of turkey. The mass amount didn't ruin my night though by making me tired. I think the french fries I ordered gave me the energy to pound through the night.

Decent portions on the pasta, reduced prices after 4pm. Otherwise it's overpriced. In terms of tastes, it's okay. Two stars because some of the workers are douchey mcdouches.

Tina D.
I am not going to lie to you. This food is not necessarily amazing. But when all you're looking for is a fast meal full of fried food and pizza...this is your place. I love being able to order online, the 10% discount you receive doing so is also nice. The staff is always really friendly and so are the delivery guys. The food is consistent and pretty good. It is my go to restaurant for lunch. I do find it to be a little on the expensive side but for food that is consistent, convenient online ordering, delivery that is fast and staff that is friendly...I am more than willing to pay the price.

This place is a pretty great little restaurant. I ate here on a lunch break from work. I had the chicken cheese steak sandwich and it was one of the best ones I've had (haha, and one of the only ones!). My co-worker got a cheese steak sandwich and she loved it. The service was kind of slow for 1 PM, but I could tell they get alot of take-out/delivery orders. It took about 20 minutes for us to get 2 sandwiches and french fries, but if you have the time to spend, it's certainly worth it. The staff is pretty friendly and they know how to cook! I would definitely recommend this place and

This is my first time here and so far so good. Walked in everything was clean and the guy at the register was very nice and attentive. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and my girlfriend ordered garlic chicken wings. Both were delicious! And for both meals and two drinks only $20. Will definitely be coming here more often.

I ran into this place when I was literally wandering around suffering from some hella low blood sugar. I saw their specials board and decided a personal cheese pizza with a can of coke was exactly what I needed. The counter guy was extremely friendly and welcomed me in. He made conversation with me and the dynamic between the other two employees was hilarious. My pizza was ready within 10 minutes and was piping hot and fresh. The joint was extremely clean and the employees seemed like they took pride in it.

Some specific food reviews (menu items I am reviewing specifically are all caps for easy scanning) below: This is a great place to have in the neighborhood. It's quality comfort food for everyone. My boyfriend always gets the CHEESESTEAK meal, and while it's not Jim's, it's really a very solid reliably great steak. FRIES are very good too - always hot, never soggy, lots of catsup in the bag. Based on the reviews, I actually recently tried the CHICKEN CHEESESTEAK, and was blown away. I was expecting big chunks of chicken, but this was finely ground chicken with a very tasty seasoning. I will definitely order it again. I ordered it with American cheese, and put hot sauce on the side - this was a flavor win. Ordered the large CHICKEN TENDERS, and they were piping hot, flavorful, moist on the inside tenders. The large was very large, and my boyfriend and I split them. Would also order these again, and for the size, the price is very reasonable. Since I'm a steryotypical girl that cares about my waistline (despite my love for steaks and tenders), I also frequently order the GREEK SALAD. This is a very large and filling salad, even if you don't get Chicken added (I often don't). The feta chunks are generous enough. It's not Effie's or Kanella (fancier nearby Greek restaurants), but for $8 filling takeout this hits the spot for me on many days. Protip: order on their website for a fast pick-up. They also have lots of options available to customize your order online. UPDATE: This place delivers so incredibly fast!! I just had a delivery of a steak (so freshly prepared), and it arrived at my front door 13 minutes after I submitted my order. How is this even possible???? Amazing... extra star earned.

Pandora's Lunchbox is a pizza place on 12th and Walnut. There is seating to dine in and they have a tv in there which usually has ESPN on. The decor is simple and modern and it seemed to be a pretty tidy place. I tried to order pizza, but they did not have pizza by slices and you can only order a whole pie. They did have a decent sandwich and panini menu. I ordered a chicken cutlet sandwich with lettuce, tomato and onion that was pretty good. The server had suggested the chicken parm sandwich, but I stuck with my order. The sandwich was pretty good, but I have to admit the way the chicken was made, it would have been better as a chicken parm and I should have taken her suggestion. Overall Pandora's was a decent lunch spot and would go back to try some of their other items.

My friends and I kind of came across this place by accident. When we walked in, we were the only ones in there. The owner (I'm assuming because I always catch him giving orders to other people) was very friendly, and told us to look through the menus and decide what we like. The menu has a few blatant typos, which makes me cringe every time I see them, but this isn't about my anal retentiveness. We asked him what was good, and he looked at us like we were idiots and said, "everything." On my first visit, I got an Italian stromboli. The thing was bigger than my face (that's what she said). No, but seriously it was huge (that's what she said), and very delicious, and incredibly filling (that's what she... ok, I'll stop). I've also tried quite a few different sandwiches there, which are also really good. Even simple things like chicken salad sandwiches have been pretty yummy. Their salads are also very... salad-like. What is absolutely delicious though are some of their paninis. The Smokehouse with pesto mayo panini rocked my socks. Well, actually my girlfriend got that one and I kept stealing bits off of it, but those bits rocked my socks. There is also a large home-made brownie that's $1.95, and it's pretty decent although I think with something that heavy on chocolate, you should be required to have milk on the menu. The aforementioned owner is possibly suffering from borderline personality disorder (I dunno if he actually is, I'm just saying) because his mood changes dramatically, often within the same conversation.

Very homely and has very nice staff. The food is a little on the greasy side, but what else is expected when ordering a cheesesteak? Overall, it's a very nice choice if you are hungry. It is filling at a great price. PS, the cheesesteak and pasta is grrrrrreat!

My first review on here. I wouldn't normally do it but I had to. So first, I'll start by saying- I'm a very finicky eater. It takes me a while to choose what I really wanna eat, every day. And on top of that, sometimes, when I'm considering where to go, I consider if the portion of food that the restaurant will give me will (1) Satisfy my voracious appetite, and (2) if it is worth the amount being charged for it. In a nutshell, I went into Pandora because I really couldn't make up my mind and I wanted to try something different. First, they had a wide range of food from sandwiches to spaghetti and meatballs to cheesesteak and a lot of stuff in between. I chose spaghetti because I needed something hearty. It was about 9 dollars. I figured they wouldn't give me a big portion so I might need something else to supplement my lunch. So I bought a slice of carrot cake. Well, I paid at the register and went to take a seat at the back of the restaurant. In 7 minutes (or maybe it was 6), one of the sweet ladies up front was bringing back this monster of a dish- and it was the good type of monster, the one that makes your mouth water a little. Chile- when I say that plate was huge! The spaghetti was freaking delicious. The cheese was super gooey... The sauce was thick and hearty... The meatballs were large and the spaghetti was seasoned wonderfully. I couldn't even finish my plate. All in all, the people are SUPER friendly. The food is GREAT and you get a lot of it... and the setting is pretty chill as well. I'm going to take a nap now as my food digests, but I'll definitely be back.

We put in a fairly large order. We read all the reviews and thought we would give it a try. The pizza was so awesome! You can tell that only top quality ingredients were used. Not only that, but everything was very fresh. If you are looking for pizza in Philly this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed. The spaghetti was some of the best that I have had from a restaurant. The pasta sauce was spot on and the meatballs were just as awesome. Can taste the quality of them. Very good meat was used. Even the garlic bread was awesome. That really surprised me. I never really expect such quality from Spaghetti and Meatballs and then they top it off with the garlic bread. It is like an extra thank you. The antipasto salad was amazing as well. You can not make up such a review. They came and went full on with this order. If all their food is this amazing I'm going to make sure that we mainly do business here. For the money they give you generous portions and then they make quality food. That pizza is something that I'm really going to miss when I am home. If you are visiting or even if you live in Philly you have to stop in here and at least try a pie. You'll be glad that you did. I wish I had found this place last few times I was in Philly. One thing is for sure that I will be coming back.

Came here only once while in Philly for the SIOP conference. First impression was that it was very clean. Second impression was that the guys behind the counter were all kind of tough looking. But they're damn good cooks so who cares. I loved my chicken cheesesteak. I took a bite of my friend's regular cheesesteak and I thought it was really good! My other friend got a hummus gyro and she said it was good. Saw the guys making a sexy looking salad behind the counter and felt food envy. I would love to come back here if I'm ever in the area. Definitely underrated as far as cheesesteaks go.

The pizza has a thicker, crispy crust to it. On point, with plenty of toppings and sauce. Seems to be a solid choice for a number of greasy fast food type things

I have a new work lunch crush- Pandora's Lunchbox! Close enough to Broad Street that I can stop by for lunch and they deliver! Let me tell you the menu is vast and at first that always concerns me because how can one place do it all so well? Today was the test for Pandora's as my entire office ordered from there for lunch. From Greek to junk food, everyone was pleased with their lunch. I tried the House Special Chicken Cheesesteak which was a bargain for $9 (American cheese, peppers, onions, mushrooms, and pepperoni- although the menu said bacon). It was huge and let me tell you I was quite relieved not to be charged for every single topping, before I've spent $12 on lackluster cheesesteaks with a few toppings. My co-workers had the Chicken Gyro Salad, Gyro Platter (HUGE with French fries and a Greek Salad), Foogie Fries (with cheddar cheese, mozzarella, bacon, and ranch dressing), Chicken Fingers, and Pan Asian Salad. I am happy to say that both the healthy and unhealthy options at Pandora's seemed to satisfy. With reasonable prices and a variety of food (there's also pasta and pizza!) I would gladly make this my #1 go to spot for lunch/delivery.

I came here to get a cheesesteak since I was right in the area and didn't feel like going to my usual place on South St. The cheesesteak was okay not the best or the worst I ever had. I just wished the had put more cheese since the cheese was almost non existent. The place did look clean and the service was fast and they were very nice.

Got in to Philly early for a meeting and stopped by. Actually one of the street cops recommended it and I'm glad I went. Opened up my laptop and cracked out some work and of course enjoyed an awesome cheesesteak. It was not too heavy so that's a plus and the service was fantastic!!! Definitely coming back next time I'm here.

I had a craving for wings and when I searched for them on grub hub this place popped up. The wings were a "trending item", so I got an order of them and a Caesar salad. I got a lot more wings then I expected and they are big and juicy and spicy. I am patting myself on the back for this lunch decision. Will be giving them more business. Good go-to wing spot.

We got delivery: Cheesesteak with Fries and Diet Coke (a "box" special) and Pesto Primavera (no Peppers). It was... average. Cheesesteak: I asked for Whiz as the cheese online in special request (when you select a Box, it does not ask you what kind of cheese you want like it does if you order the Cheesesteak alone) and I got what I can only guess is White American? It was not Provolone, and their three options on normal cheesesteaks is American, Provolone, or Whiz. They apparently misunderstood, and I'll touch on that in a minute. That being said, the meat was good, the bread was good, the cheese was too infrequent, to the point that when I reheated my second half, I put my own Whiz on. Fries: Remember that misunderstanding? They put the Whiz on the fries. Now, the awesome part is that they didn't charge us more (unless the later mistake was intentional). The bad part is, the already soggy fries were rendered into "potato mush" that I later heated in a cast iron skillet with the whiz still on it to let the whiz get a little browned and add some much needed crunch to the sad fries. Next time, I'd just order the steak and specifically be able to select Whiz on the online thing, because the fries were sad and... Diet Coke: Did not make the order... not sure if that's because they put whiz on the fries or if they just forgot. Pesto Primavera (No Peppers): Oh man, the portions on this were HUGE! They did leave off the peppers (mostly, a couple slipped in, so if you're having stuff left off due to allergy, don't go here. If it's just a matter of preference, get ready to pick stuff out) but all in all it was a LOT of food! The spaghetti noodles seemed like they were thin spaghetti, which is awesome because we would have preferred angel hair. That all being said, the pesto was dry. We ended adding a bunch of storebought alfredo to make a creamy pesto sauce and adding a whole bunch of parmesan (which they didn't give any of). So much food for the price, it fed my girlfriend for 4 meals and myself for another 2 (she is a light eater, but I am not). The garlic bread that came with was average at best. It's worth another shot, but we'd definitely order differently. The delivery was prompt, the driver was excellent, but the food needed some help. I wouldn't say stay away quite yet, but so far it's not the must go that people say it is.

While I don't expect much from this place, at the very least they should seriously consider improving their sanitation / food handling practices. Twice I've been in there recently, and both times the cashiers have handled my food after handling cash. I don't mean handling the container or the wrapper...I mean going into the food prep area, and physically touching the actual sandwich / fries / etc. to either put it in the container or close the container (the person who is making the food can't do that?). Once the cashier was clearly recovering from a cold or flu, wiping her nose before handling my food. The other time the cashiers were chatting away about penecillin. "Take one, you'll feel better. Here you go." Huh? Really? As for the actual food? Why on earth would you put a yellow stem of a tomato in a club sandwich? Obviously you wouldn't eat it, so why the heck would I? The bar is set very low.

This place used to be my favorite. It was 4 stars in my book. Any time I came home to Philly, I HAD TO STOP for a chicken gyro. Something has changed in the past year. First it seemed as though the seasoning was different. I'm not sure if it changed owners or what....it was horrible. It breaks my heart. Then the worst part came. Again, it pains me to even write this because I used to love this place. Anyway, after several hours on the toilet and laying on the sofa for a bit, I started feeling better. Sometimes change isn't a good thing. I took away two stars. It would have been down to a one star review but I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were having a bad day and maybe my "troubles" weren't directly related to the food. I'll give them one more shot the next time I'm back.

The staff seemed a bit confused about what I was trying to order. Like, the guy gave me a weird look when I asked for a glass of water. That being said, I was eventually unceremoniously served a turkey burger. They put the fixin's on for you, so you can't designate the amount of ketchup. The burger was reasonably tasty, but wasn't that filling.

Le S.
I go back frequently and haven't been disappointed yet. The food is very affordable, especially after 4PM. They give generous portions. The staff is incredibly nice!! First time I went, I wasn't expecting delicious food for what I was paying but it's actually very good. The baked spaghetti is my favorite.

Pandora's Lunchbox solves the fact that they have nothing going for them by making food salty. It's sort of a fries, onion rings, hoagies place. It's where you go when you have munchies or are hung over. One great thing though, they deliver! So you don't need to leave home for the heart attack!

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Stopped here during my lunch break from work one day and was pleased with how quickly my food was ready after I ordered it. Even though I wasn't eating in, the environment wasn't extremely busy, the place itself was clean, and my burger combo left me full and satisfied. They have a pretty wide range of selections, so if you're not in the mood for a burger, they offer pizza, pasta dishes, all kinds of sandwiches (including deli sandwiches, clubs, cheesesteaks, paninis, wraps, and pita pockets)...even quesadillas! And to top it off, they offer a small selection of desserts. Definitely a great place to have in the neighborhood for a quick bite.

We were staying nearby and had several meals here. We tried several meals and the cheesesteaks were very good and never greasy. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
(4)J W.
Great fresh ingredients, nice friendly staff. Got to taste the steak Philly cheesesteak w American cheese, peppers and onions as well as he chicken cheesesteak with pepperoni, Peppers, onions and American cheese. Big were the best we've had in town. Thanks for making our great meal!

Got it for delivery over the weekend - called with less than an hour before closing - no problem delivering. How long did an order for Foogie fries (all the fixings - cheese, bacon, etc), Wing Dings, Buffalo chicken tenders, and a cheesesteak take? Probably close to 20 minutes. Ridiculously fast! Everything was great as always. This review is more for the cheesesteak. On my quest for a decent Philly cheesesteak - this one isn't too satisfying. The meat is chopped too finely. The cheese isn't dispersed all around (ate half of it the next day with some asiago melted within). The search continues ... But besides the cheesesteak - Pandora's is the bomb.
(4)David C.
I'm new to Philly, and admittedly, this was my first actual Philly Cheesesteak in Philly, but I thought it was great. - I tried the chickensteak today, which was not nearly as good, but they still get 4 stars for being inexpensive and having a good cheesesteak.
(4)Kaela S.
This is my boyfriend & I's favorite "secret spot" we come here often and always are glad with our choices. They have a great pesto chicken dish, chicken tenders, teriyaki chicken wrap & our fav..the teriyaki chicken wings. Sometimes they can fry them a little hard but u can mention how crispy u want them. Overall great food not greasy and filling.
(4)Vikki D.
LOVE LOVE LOVE! I used to work here as my first job when I was younger and always loved their food and almost ten years later nothing has changed. Everything is so flavorful and always made to perfection, definitely check this place out if youre looking for somewhere to eat!
(5)Tim W.
Was in town for a seminar and decided to eat here. The special was cheesesteak fries and a soda. Have to say one of the best cheesesteaks I have had
(5)Reem C.
I've been eating lunch at Pandora's for a while now, and I'm surprised I never reviewed this place. This is one of my favorite lunch spots in Center City. I hate going to the typical chain restaurants all of the time, so it's nice to go to a "mom and pop" kind of restaurant. The grilled chicken wrap with sauteed spinach and provolone is definitely a good choice for wrap eaters. The buffalo chicken wrap is spicy, but not that uncomfortable to the point where you're popping Tums or Rolaids like candy after eating it. Lately, my favorite has been the medi chicken panini, which is a panini with roasted red pepper spread, chargrilled chicken, provolone and spinach on a ciabatta bread. I'm writing this review right before my lunch break and I think I know where I'm headed. Maybe I'll try one of their gyros this time. I'll keep you posted.
(4)Cosmo A.
all i have to say is ...chicken cheesesteak with hots. Great hangover food
(4)Dominique L.
My first time here and the Buffalo Chicken Wrap is the bomb! Will definitely by stopping by again before I leave town.
(5)Justin M.
I usually love this place, but they love to close the "kitchen" early. Don't be surprised if when you call 15-20 minutes before closing if they are no longer cooking.
(3)Brittany P.
AWESOME! Just got a turkey sub from there, but the bread and meat were super good, happy I didn't end up with a soggy meatless sub. No wait to get my stuff to go &Alex was super nice !
(5)Z B.
Best chicken cheese steak in town. I visit philly often and try to eat here at least once per visit.
(5)Fred G.
Very good for what it is. Prices are very inexpensive and I opted for the small 10"pizza and can of soda special which is $6.29 before tax. I added pepperoni and spent a total of $8 on my meal. Pizza was good, not great, and similar to the Greek style pizza that abounds in Philly. Overall, I was more than happy with my meal for the amount I spent.
(4)Beth M.
My boyfriend and I end up getting take-out from Pandora every weekend. Their gyro's are delish, they make a Monterey chicken salad that has become a staple in my diet, the stuffed tomatoes are good, their deli sandwiches have fresh rye bread, and their Italian food is legit (from what my bf says, and he is Italian, so he knows). I ordered the "Cranburger" once and that was totally gross, but hey, ya can't win 'em all! They give you large portions of food, so an entree can easily be split between two people if you're not super hungry (including salads). I'm also borderline celiac, so from time to time I need to request that certain ingredients be removed or substituted, and they always hook up it up without complaint. Oh, and they have a pretty good selection of canned soda, (I get super excited when I find soda in cans vs. the 20oz plastic bottles)! Good job guys!
(5)Noah R.
Chicken salad sandwich was good. Roll the the sandwich came on was above average but not great. Pizza was trash.
(3)Ana G.
Awesome place! The owner was so attentive and even gifted my table a basket of fries, which were absolutely delicious. I has the Veggie Maxx salad: the fig marmalade was exquisite and the whole salad was fantastic and filling. All of my friends loved their dishes. One had a cheese pizza that looked so cheesy and yummy. Two others had pasta and were so happy with their choices. Next time I come to Philly, I'm definitely stopping by!
(5)Hazel A.
I just went here for lunch this afternoon. It's a nice little venue with some dine-in seating. The place was clean and neat (which is a big deal to me) I ordered the beef gyro. I'm not expert on gyros, but I enjoyed theirs very much. It was very tasty and the lettuce and tomatoes were very fresh. __________________________________________________Â____ Second visit: I was craving some plain old chicken fingers and french fries, so I decided to give Pandora's another shot. I got the Chicken fingers platter with french fries and cole slaw. The portion was HUGE! I was very pleased with the meal.
(3)Rachel S.
Great service and very friendly. The few items I've tried have just been "ok" though. But a friend absolutely loves their caesar salad with chicken and bacon
(3)Mark R.
These guys have a huge menu. I tried the beef gyro and fries for a fast working lunch back in my hotel room. The girl at the register was a bit on the snippy side and cut me off before I was done ordering. The gyro meat is frozen that comes in a box. I know that because I saw them pull a cardboard box called "Gyro Meat". That said, it was still okay. Very hot, maybe a bit too much lettuce. The fries were good. They place seemed busy. If I lived in the area, I'd come here again.
(3)Karen F.
I actually had a good experience here. When I cam - about 7 PM on a Wednesday night - the place was nearly empty and I had a great cooked to order chicken cutlet sandwich. The food was great and the side salad I also ordered had fresh (iceberg) lettuce and lots of nice tomatoes and cucmber slices. I would definitely pick up another quick meal here. Npot sure about the pizza - the slices didn't appeal. Maybe a whole pie - freshly baked would be a better option.
(3)Richard P.
Try the Lasagna. It's two meals and what a deal. Fast and a very nice staff. I love it.
(5)Michael B.
I've had better microwaveable pizza. Don't let the $6.50 deal fool you. Maybe it is because I am from New York that I have such high standards when it comes to pizza, but the mere fact this establishment is categorized as "Pizza" sorrows the seas of my heart. I urge you to never go here.
(1)Niyant S.
Reading some the more negative reviews, it seems that most people dislike the prices here. When I first came in and saw the prices, I would have agreed with this sentiment, however after eating my meal I have to disagree! First of all, let me start out by saying Pandora's offers just about EVERYTHING you could want for a meal! In the mood for a small pizza pie? Check. Maybe a reuben sandwich? Check. Or how about a quesadilla? Check. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. Anyhow, when I saw that they offered a buffalo chicken stromboli, I was sold. The thing cost like $8, but the effective cost was actually more like $4 since I got 2 whole meals out of it! This thing was huge, my only criticism is there is no point calling this a stromboli when clearly it was a calzone stuffed with chicken, buffalo sauce, and bleu cheese. Now I will admit I've had tastier buffalo chicken concoctions elsewhere, but in now way did this item taste bad. I mean look, if you are coming here expecting a 5 star, gourmet meal then your standards are clearly off. Pandora's is what it is, a place where you come and get just about anything you want for lunch/dinner at reasonable to slightly above reasonable prices. As added bonuses, the staff here seem pretty friendly, they offer free delivery (although I do not know what their delivery radius is), and you can even order online (if you register, you even get 10% off all online orders!) So, the next time you're having one of those days where you just don't know what to get for dinner, drop by Pandora's and I'm sure you'll figure it out.
(4)Brian L.
Ordered turkey sandwich on wheat. Lots of turkey. The mass amount didn't ruin my night though by making me tired. I think the french fries I ordered gave me the energy to pound through the night.
(4)Eric B.
Decent portions on the pasta, reduced prices after 4pm. Otherwise it's overpriced. In terms of tastes, it's okay. Two stars because some of the workers are douchey mcdouches.
(2)Tina D.
I am not going to lie to you. This food is not necessarily amazing. But when all you're looking for is a fast meal full of fried food and pizza...this is your place. I love being able to order online, the 10% discount you receive doing so is also nice. The staff is always really friendly and so are the delivery guys. The food is consistent and pretty good. It is my go to restaurant for lunch. I do find it to be a little on the expensive side but for food that is consistent, convenient online ordering, delivery that is fast and staff that is friendly...I am more than willing to pay the price.
(4)amy b.
This place is a pretty great little restaurant. I ate here on a lunch break from work. I had the chicken cheese steak sandwich and it was one of the best ones I've had (haha, and one of the only ones!). My co-worker got a cheese steak sandwich and she loved it. The service was kind of slow for 1 PM, but I could tell they get alot of take-out/delivery orders. It took about 20 minutes for us to get 2 sandwiches and french fries, but if you have the time to spend, it's certainly worth it. The staff is pretty friendly and they know how to cook! I would definitely recommend this place and
(4)Heather M.
This is my first time here and so far so good. Walked in everything was clean and the guy at the register was very nice and attentive. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and my girlfriend ordered garlic chicken wings. Both were delicious! And for both meals and two drinks only $20. Will definitely be coming here more often.
(4)Jamie D.
I ran into this place when I was literally wandering around suffering from some hella low blood sugar. I saw their specials board and decided a personal cheese pizza with a can of coke was exactly what I needed. The counter guy was extremely friendly and welcomed me in. He made conversation with me and the dynamic between the other two employees was hilarious. My pizza was ready within 10 minutes and was piping hot and fresh. The joint was extremely clean and the employees seemed like they took pride in it.
(4)Sally L.
Some specific food reviews (menu items I am reviewing specifically are all caps for easy scanning) below: This is a great place to have in the neighborhood. It's quality comfort food for everyone. My boyfriend always gets the CHEESESTEAK meal, and while it's not Jim's, it's really a very solid reliably great steak. FRIES are very good too - always hot, never soggy, lots of catsup in the bag. Based on the reviews, I actually recently tried the CHICKEN CHEESESTEAK, and was blown away. I was expecting big chunks of chicken, but this was finely ground chicken with a very tasty seasoning. I will definitely order it again. I ordered it with American cheese, and put hot sauce on the side - this was a flavor win. Ordered the large CHICKEN TENDERS, and they were piping hot, flavorful, moist on the inside tenders. The large was very large, and my boyfriend and I split them. Would also order these again, and for the size, the price is very reasonable. Since I'm a steryotypical girl that cares about my waistline (despite my love for steaks and tenders), I also frequently order the GREEK SALAD. This is a very large and filling salad, even if you don't get Chicken added (I often don't). The feta chunks are generous enough. It's not Effie's or Kanella (fancier nearby Greek restaurants), but for $8 filling takeout this hits the spot for me on many days. Protip: order on their website for a fast pick-up. They also have lots of options available to customize your order online. UPDATE: This place delivers so incredibly fast!! I just had a delivery of a steak (so freshly prepared), and it arrived at my front door 13 minutes after I submitted my order. How is this even possible???? Amazing... extra star earned.
(5)Mini M.
Great take-out place! Comfort food and priced reasonably. Friendly staff. Their tzaziki is the best I've ever tasted. Onion rings are awesome here too.
(4)mitch d.
I had the Philly Cheesesteak and fries. Quite ordinary, not very tasty but not bad. Certainly nothing special. Certainly better choices around, but you won't leave with a stomachache.
(2)Alick W.
Pandora's Lunchbox is a pizza place on 12th and Walnut. There is seating to dine in and they have a tv in there which usually has ESPN on. The decor is simple and modern and it seemed to be a pretty tidy place. I tried to order pizza, but they did not have pizza by slices and you can only order a whole pie. They did have a decent sandwich and panini menu. I ordered a chicken cutlet sandwich with lettuce, tomato and onion that was pretty good. The server had suggested the chicken parm sandwich, but I stuck with my order. The sandwich was pretty good, but I have to admit the way the chicken was made, it would have been better as a chicken parm and I should have taken her suggestion. Overall Pandora's was a decent lunch spot and would go back to try some of their other items.
(3)Gar L.
Sandwich was average but the sweet potato fries I got were the worst fries I've ever tasted.
(2)Jeff M.
My friends and I kind of came across this place by accident. When we walked in, we were the only ones in there. The owner (I'm assuming because I always catch him giving orders to other people) was very friendly, and told us to look through the menus and decide what we like. The menu has a few blatant typos, which makes me cringe every time I see them, but this isn't about my anal retentiveness. We asked him what was good, and he looked at us like we were idiots and said, "everything." On my first visit, I got an Italian stromboli. The thing was bigger than my face (that's what she said). No, but seriously it was huge (that's what she said), and very delicious, and incredibly filling (that's what she... ok, I'll stop). I've also tried quite a few different sandwiches there, which are also really good. Even simple things like chicken salad sandwiches have been pretty yummy. Their salads are also very... salad-like. What is absolutely delicious though are some of their paninis. The Smokehouse with pesto mayo panini rocked my socks. Well, actually my girlfriend got that one and I kept stealing bits off of it, but those bits rocked my socks. There is also a large home-made brownie that's $1.95, and it's pretty decent although I think with something that heavy on chocolate, you should be required to have milk on the menu. The aforementioned owner is possibly suffering from borderline personality disorder (I dunno if he actually is, I'm just saying) because his mood changes dramatically, often within the same conversation.
(4)W S.
first time ive been in , in probably 15years and the have upped their game.. every thing was super fresh and the best fries in the gayborhood and ive had them all. had the Gyro platter and the side salad started the suprise of what was a great meal. they Gryro did not let me down an perfectly done fries. clean and friendly.
(5)Alex L.
Very homely and has very nice staff. The food is a little on the greasy side, but what else is expected when ordering a cheesesteak? Overall, it's a very nice choice if you are hungry. It is filling at a great price. PS, the cheesesteak and pasta is grrrrrreat!
(4)Jayceon C.
My first review on here. I wouldn't normally do it but I had to. So first, I'll start by saying- I'm a very finicky eater. It takes me a while to choose what I really wanna eat, every day. And on top of that, sometimes, when I'm considering where to go, I consider if the portion of food that the restaurant will give me will (1) Satisfy my voracious appetite, and (2) if it is worth the amount being charged for it. In a nutshell, I went into Pandora because I really couldn't make up my mind and I wanted to try something different. First, they had a wide range of food from sandwiches to spaghetti and meatballs to cheesesteak and a lot of stuff in between. I chose spaghetti because I needed something hearty. It was about 9 dollars. I figured they wouldn't give me a big portion so I might need something else to supplement my lunch. So I bought a slice of carrot cake. Well, I paid at the register and went to take a seat at the back of the restaurant. In 7 minutes (or maybe it was 6), one of the sweet ladies up front was bringing back this monster of a dish- and it was the good type of monster, the one that makes your mouth water a little. Chile- when I say that plate was huge! The spaghetti was freaking delicious. The cheese was super gooey... The sauce was thick and hearty... The meatballs were large and the spaghetti was seasoned wonderfully. I couldn't even finish my plate. All in all, the people are SUPER friendly. The food is GREAT and you get a lot of it... and the setting is pretty chill as well. I'm going to take a nap now as my food digests, but I'll definitely be back.
(5)Dayna W.
We put in a fairly large order. We read all the reviews and thought we would give it a try. The pizza was so awesome! You can tell that only top quality ingredients were used. Not only that, but everything was very fresh. If you are looking for pizza in Philly this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed. The spaghetti was some of the best that I have had from a restaurant. The pasta sauce was spot on and the meatballs were just as awesome. Can taste the quality of them. Very good meat was used. Even the garlic bread was awesome. That really surprised me. I never really expect such quality from Spaghetti and Meatballs and then they top it off with the garlic bread. It is like an extra thank you. The antipasto salad was amazing as well. You can not make up such a review. They came and went full on with this order. If all their food is this amazing I'm going to make sure that we mainly do business here. For the money they give you generous portions and then they make quality food. That pizza is something that I'm really going to miss when I am home. If you are visiting or even if you live in Philly you have to stop in here and at least try a pie. You'll be glad that you did. I wish I had found this place last few times I was in Philly. One thing is for sure that I will be coming back.
(5)Kristina S.
Came here only once while in Philly for the SIOP conference. First impression was that it was very clean. Second impression was that the guys behind the counter were all kind of tough looking. But they're damn good cooks so who cares. I loved my chicken cheesesteak. I took a bite of my friend's regular cheesesteak and I thought it was really good! My other friend got a hummus gyro and she said it was good. Saw the guys making a sexy looking salad behind the counter and felt food envy. I would love to come back here if I'm ever in the area. Definitely underrated as far as cheesesteaks go.
(4)Kunj A.
The pizza has a thicker, crispy crust to it. On point, with plenty of toppings and sauce. Seems to be a solid choice for a number of greasy fast food type things
(4)Lea T.
I have a new work lunch crush- Pandora's Lunchbox! Close enough to Broad Street that I can stop by for lunch and they deliver! Let me tell you the menu is vast and at first that always concerns me because how can one place do it all so well? Today was the test for Pandora's as my entire office ordered from there for lunch. From Greek to junk food, everyone was pleased with their lunch. I tried the House Special Chicken Cheesesteak which was a bargain for $9 (American cheese, peppers, onions, mushrooms, and pepperoni- although the menu said bacon). It was huge and let me tell you I was quite relieved not to be charged for every single topping, before I've spent $12 on lackluster cheesesteaks with a few toppings. My co-workers had the Chicken Gyro Salad, Gyro Platter (HUGE with French fries and a Greek Salad), Foogie Fries (with cheddar cheese, mozzarella, bacon, and ranch dressing), Chicken Fingers, and Pan Asian Salad. I am happy to say that both the healthy and unhealthy options at Pandora's seemed to satisfy. With reasonable prices and a variety of food (there's also pasta and pizza!) I would gladly make this my #1 go to spot for lunch/delivery.
(4)Isabel J.
I came here to get a cheesesteak since I was right in the area and didn't feel like going to my usual place on South St. The cheesesteak was okay not the best or the worst I ever had. I just wished the had put more cheese since the cheese was almost non existent. The place did look clean and the service was fast and they were very nice.
(3)Aaron B.
Awesome place! People are friendly and made great recommendations. The place has a fun, relaxed atmosphere and smells amazing! Had the cheesesteak - one of the best sandwiches I've had!
(5)Melly M.
Got in to Philly early for a meeting and stopped by. Actually one of the street cops recommended it and I'm glad I went. Opened up my laptop and cracked out some work and of course enjoyed an awesome cheesesteak. It was not too heavy so that's a plus and the service was fantastic!!! Definitely coming back next time I'm here.
(5)Jim L.
I had a craving for wings and when I searched for them on grub hub this place popped up. The wings were a "trending item", so I got an order of them and a Caesar salad. I got a lot more wings then I expected and they are big and juicy and spicy. I am patting myself on the back for this lunch decision. Will be giving them more business. Good go-to wing spot.
(5)Paul M.
We got delivery: Cheesesteak with Fries and Diet Coke (a "box" special) and Pesto Primavera (no Peppers). It was... average. Cheesesteak: I asked for Whiz as the cheese online in special request (when you select a Box, it does not ask you what kind of cheese you want like it does if you order the Cheesesteak alone) and I got what I can only guess is White American? It was not Provolone, and their three options on normal cheesesteaks is American, Provolone, or Whiz. They apparently misunderstood, and I'll touch on that in a minute. That being said, the meat was good, the bread was good, the cheese was too infrequent, to the point that when I reheated my second half, I put my own Whiz on. Fries: Remember that misunderstanding? They put the Whiz on the fries. Now, the awesome part is that they didn't charge us more (unless the later mistake was intentional). The bad part is, the already soggy fries were rendered into "potato mush" that I later heated in a cast iron skillet with the whiz still on it to let the whiz get a little browned and add some much needed crunch to the sad fries. Next time, I'd just order the steak and specifically be able to select Whiz on the online thing, because the fries were sad and... Diet Coke: Did not make the order... not sure if that's because they put whiz on the fries or if they just forgot. Pesto Primavera (No Peppers): Oh man, the portions on this were HUGE! They did leave off the peppers (mostly, a couple slipped in, so if you're having stuff left off due to allergy, don't go here. If it's just a matter of preference, get ready to pick stuff out) but all in all it was a LOT of food! The spaghetti noodles seemed like they were thin spaghetti, which is awesome because we would have preferred angel hair. That all being said, the pesto was dry. We ended adding a bunch of storebought alfredo to make a creamy pesto sauce and adding a whole bunch of parmesan (which they didn't give any of). So much food for the price, it fed my girlfriend for 4 meals and myself for another 2 (she is a light eater, but I am not). The garlic bread that came with was average at best. It's worth another shot, but we'd definitely order differently. The delivery was prompt, the driver was excellent, but the food needed some help. I wouldn't say stay away quite yet, but so far it's not the must go that people say it is.
(3)Leah Y.
OMG AND UMM UMM is all i could say when ordered a veggie pannini sandwich omg full of flavor and it was delicious I will definitely be back it was so worth it and then some I have to tell all of my friends about this place. Satisfied
(5)Tai B.
I've been ordering from Pandora's for years. Great food. Always on time and never one complaint. Thanks Guys, keep up the great service
(5)A K.
While I don't expect much from this place, at the very least they should seriously consider improving their sanitation / food handling practices. Twice I've been in there recently, and both times the cashiers have handled my food after handling cash. I don't mean handling the container or the wrapper...I mean going into the food prep area, and physically touching the actual sandwich / fries / etc. to either put it in the container or close the container (the person who is making the food can't do that?). Once the cashier was clearly recovering from a cold or flu, wiping her nose before handling my food. The other time the cashiers were chatting away about penecillin. "Take one, you'll feel better. Here you go." Huh? Really? As for the actual food? Why on earth would you put a yellow stem of a tomato in a club sandwich? Obviously you wouldn't eat it, so why the heck would I? The bar is set very low.
(1)J P.
It's fast take out. greasy, fast take-out. they have a decent gyro, but it prolly comes ina box from the frozen food section. I cant say I hate it. I just dont think its real food. make sense? *sharts*
(2)William D.
Good food. Good portions. Good price. I've been about 5 times and the food has been very consistent. Will come back for more.
(4)Ron T.
This place used to be my favorite. It was 4 stars in my book. Any time I came home to Philly, I HAD TO STOP for a chicken gyro. Something has changed in the past year. First it seemed as though the seasoning was different. I'm not sure if it changed owners or what....it was horrible. It breaks my heart. Then the worst part came. Again, it pains me to even write this because I used to love this place. Anyway, after several hours on the toilet and laying on the sofa for a bit, I started feeling better. Sometimes change isn't a good thing. I took away two stars. It would have been down to a one star review but I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were having a bad day and maybe my "troubles" weren't directly related to the food. I'll give them one more shot the next time I'm back.
(2)Adam P.
The staff seemed a bit confused about what I was trying to order. Like, the guy gave me a weird look when I asked for a glass of water. That being said, I was eventually unceremoniously served a turkey burger. They put the fixin's on for you, so you can't designate the amount of ketchup. The burger was reasonably tasty, but wasn't that filling.
(3)Le S.
I go back frequently and haven't been disappointed yet. The food is very affordable, especially after 4PM. They give generous portions. The staff is incredibly nice!! First time I went, I wasn't expecting delicious food for what I was paying but it's actually very good. The baked spaghetti is my favorite.
(4)Daniel D.
Pandora's Lunchbox solves the fact that they have nothing going for them by making food salty. It's sort of a fries, onion rings, hoagies place. It's where you go when you have munchies or are hung over. One great thing though, they deliver! So you don't need to leave home for the heart attack!
(3)
