The opposite of good is South St. Lorenzo's – first off, you can't trust any pizza place that the owners don't actually work in, but who can blame them, being that the place is clearly a converted public restroom, which is fitting, since eating the half-assed pizza is something like munching on a sopping handful of used toilet paper. Weak sauce, and too little of it, gobs of cheap, flavorless cheese, and a thick, gummy, barely-done crust make it tedious going after the first few bites. It seems like a laundromat for mob cash... read more
Best pizza in the world -- for sure!!!!! – My husband took me to his favorite spot (Lorenzo's) while he is working near South Street sometimes and it was incredible!!!! We took our five year old son who is a pizza phanatic too and he loved it as well. Anyone who is from Philly can vouch for this place and knows that the ingredients are fresh and not cheap as some of the other reviews may be claiming. I love the way the pizza just melts in your mouth. Excellent all the way around. There are no need for toppings because you wo... read more
Drunkin' Pizza – So, Lorenzos is not, "I'm just walking around South Street and I'm hungary" kind of pizza. Lorenzos is a "I just had a long night of drinking and I've never been so hungary in my entire life" kind of pizza. I agree, Lorenzos is average pizza for those that are casually hanging out. But if you're drunk, or even better, hammered, and the bars have closed, and you need a snack, Lorenzos is the absolute BEST THING EVER!!!! It cures your hangover for the next day too!
did i miss something? why the hype... – i'm not sure how this 'restaurant' got in philly's top 10 pizza places. it sure seemed popular by the long line and crowd out front, but the pizza tasted average at-best. your only option was cheese pizza (unless you bought a whole pie), and there was no place to sit down (only a strange back room with mirrored walls and paper-plate-width counter). definitely not worth a trip unless you're already on south street.
you cannot beat it for the price – I think the rude service and crappy "standing dining area" only add to the charm of this cheap pizza place. We still go there every time we are on south street.
Great on late nights – You can't get toppings. There is no seating. You just walk up and say how many slices you want and if you want a soda. Their huge slices have a slightly sweet sauce which is typical of Philadelphia pizza. Pay if you want it in a box to go, which I almost always do when I stop for pizza before heading to a concert at Electric Factory. Much better than the other pizza I've found in this city. Not quite like New York style pizza, but pretty good. The pizzas are huge so I've never gotten a full one to brin... read more
There's a better Lorenzo's 6 blocks away – The pizza here is only OK. Nothing special about it. It's cheaply made with cheap products, yet when people drink everything tastes better. Go to Lorenzo's on 8th and christian if you want real pizza with real fresh ingrediants. This Lorenzo's suffices my midnight craving not my mid day lunch.
Hands down, best pizza in the city! – They might not have parmesan or slices with toppings, but their plain old cheese pizza is out of this world. After being in California for 8 months I truly have a deeper appreciation for Lorenzo's. If anyone is visiting from out of town, we will definitely make it a point to stop here at least once. Yeah...so you have to stand in a single file line and choose between eating out on the street or back in their closet of a "dining room", but the pizza is so good, it's worth the aggravation.
OVERRATED – I've had better pizza in Germany. Lorenzo's was good back in the 80's but has since fallen off by using cheap ingredients. I think the reason people rave about it because 1. Philly lacks a real good Pizza parlor and they have nothing to compare it against. 2. Lorenzos is open late and there is a lack of late nite eateries in Philly. When you're drunk and hungry almost anything will taste good.
