Celebre's Pizzeria

Some of the Best “Pie” (Pizza) I have had! From Texas and this is so good I want one shipped home for my wife!

A few people told me this place is a south philly staple. I was very excited about trying it out. I ordered a Sicilian pizza an Italian hoagie and a cheesesteak. The pizza looked really good but then I tasted it and was overwhelmed by how salty it tasted. I would rank it lower then a little Caesars pizza it was terrible. The cheesesteak was a little better than the pizza but not by much and the hoagie was average. I was completely disappointed I was hoping I had found a new spot for pizza but this was an epic fail.

This place is awesome. Homey feel, great staff, and the pizza was bomb. You have to get the pizzazz!

Great customer service. I was quickly attended to. I informed them that it was my first time there and they provided me with a menu immediately. I ordered a veggie pie and it was done in 20 minutes. This is not a sweet pizza. It is a hearty pizza. Made like mama home cooking

We just stopped by and LOVED it! The young man that helped us was so sweet and did a great job. This was out first family trip to Philly and we wanted to try cheesesteak and pizza. We couldn't decide which to get until I found this place right off the highway, and they had both! So we got both and then took a whole pizza to go for dinner later, after our 2.5hr drive to our hotel. I loved it all and I hope everyone gives them a chance!

this is such a cozy pizzeria! the lady who served us was very helpful and friendly, and the food ended up being delicious. no complaints!

We ordered a large sum of pizzas for our son’s birthday party today and all of our guests kept raving about how delicious the pizza was! The staff who helped us with organizing and delivery were kind, patient, and helpful! 10/10 would recommend!

Celebre's did a great job on our Pizzaz. I decided to put steak on mine, they called me to confirm my order. Can't ask for better experience. Thank you

Came here after visiting FDR Park, our food was awesome and Nicole was great. We got cheesesteaks and a chicken parm sandwich but everything we saw come out looked good! My friend and I (both wheelchair users) were able to roll right up to a table once we got over the small lip to get inside and it wound up being the perfect height for both of our chairs.

Came here on a weekday to grab pizza for dinner which took about 25 mins. The restaurant itself is a decent seat down place with plenty of tables. The positive thing is that their staff is friendly and the place is clean. I ordered a large pizza with mushrooms. To my disappointment, the pizza was way too salty, from the crust to the sauce, it was too much. In addition, they charge $4 for 1 topping for the whole pizza and they didn't put enough as mushrooms as there were some slices with only 2-3 pieces of mushroom. Overall, there are better options if you're looking for good pizza.

They have pretty decent pizza. Occasionally I order delivery for dinner. It takes about 45mins to an hour during the evening time. Pizzaz specialty pizza was surprisingly really good (although the bottom crust I would've like to be cooked more). The cheese was great. The wings are usually solid. Would def try the other pizzas.

Pizza was pretty good, not great. Sauce was good, but a little heavy on it. Quality cheese, but also too much of it. Crust was a little strange...kind of buttery and flaky. Very good sausage, and good amount of onions though. Overall not bad, but not really my style. Excellent real hand cut fries. Everyone that worked there from the waitress to the cook seemed just miserable...at least fake a smile for some goodwill guys.

Always order when I'm in the area. Service is great, chicken parm sandwich is amazing and the boardwalk fries are a 10!

This is by far the best place for pizza in the South Philly and for getting together. My wife and I have been coming here off and on for more than 55 years. My family from (3) states meets every year around Christmas here to enjoy the pizza and the good company of those serving it..Again we hope to be at Celebre's Pizzeria next year For my wife and I no place in SC can match a good South Philly Pizza found here. Thanks Michael Spina for taking the time to take this year's picture of our outing.

I don't even want to let the cat out of the bag on this one, but this place deserves a much higher rating! The pizza is ALWAYS hot and fresh and truly delicious. Pizazz has changed my life and the Spamato is also so yum. The servers leave you alone unless you need something, which exactly what i want at a place like this. The game is usually on, and they have multiple table/banquette seating options. She ain't fancy, but it is a whole vibe.

As I am a Chef of STARR RESTAURANTS and my reviews have over 650k views. From the people that read my reviews to those that have never read them and proceed to indulge for culinary etiquette. Avoid this place at all costs.Terrible etiquette from the moment I walked in the door.Extremely unpleasant small man that barked at me "what do you want". I immediately made a Uturn. as I am from Harlem.NY. Your pizza is basic at its borderline best ,and you have lost a reputable customer. Word of advice.You never know who crosses your threshold entering you "business". Always be polite.In the event that you do not recall who I am I am the man of color that came in your doors at 5:30 on Thursday 25,2024. Good day.

Nice neighborhood type pizza place. Very friendly staff. Great to go before an event at the Wells Fargo Center. Plenty of parking in the lot. Pizazz is delicious. We added steak to half. Excellent. We'll be back to try the stromboli. Also ordered pick up before with no issues.

I used to work for the Phillies in their front office and this was a favorite place to order from many times over the years for quality and taste. Several years ago I also recommended this place to a landscaper friend of mine in New Jersey and they tried it on the way back from a day of setting up at the Philadelphia Flower Show in Center City and they too loved it making it an annual regular stop since then. Despite a change in employment from working at the ballpark since then and further driving distance for me, I still make a special trip now and then just to have a slice of there pizza. I highly recommend them. They are one of the best places around. If you find yourself in South Philly, Go There! They are located in the same shopping center as Chickee's and Pete's so they are easy to find and there's plenty of parking. You can't go wrong there for a pizza!

This is the best pizza spot in Philly bar none, the staff here treats you like family, been a 42 year customer and I'll die eating a slice here

Great pizza. Nice customer service. Pizza always fresh and delicious when ordered. One of the best pizza joints around.

They are very close to the Linc and I think they were still upset about the Eagles losing and they had a lot of rules about where to order depending on whether you were eating in or taking out. Other than that this was a very good pizza shop cheesesteak. The grill man knows what he's doing. Everything spent time on the grill together, got to know each other and share their flavors. Termini Bakery is next door. The roll was very good. It had a good crust but was light and airy. Looking at Termini Bakery while biting the roll may have help. Good Cheesesteak experience.

Not sure why anyone would come here when there is so much good pizza in Philly. No frills atmosphere is usually fine, but don't combine that with no frills pizza and surly service and soggy, greasy pizza.

Best cheese steak Stromboli I've ever had pizza is amazing I've literally ate it all my life (46) and never had a bad pie ever!

Ordered a white pizza, the flavor was like I was a deer licking a salt lick in every bite. First maybe I thought was the way they made there white pizza but after just biting the the crust! I realized that the who ever made the dough added to much salt to the pizza dough! Will never order from there again!!!! Being a Chef in the business this would be a waste of my money to order any pizza, especially for the first time. My corner pizza store, pizza . Com had better pizza!!!!; And I didn't like them that much!!

There are hundreds of pizza places in Philadelphia but Celebre's in South Philly is one of my favorites. It's conveniently located in a shopping center with its own parking lot which is nice when you want to run there for lunch during the workday. The staff is friendly and if you call ahead they'll have your pizza ready right when you get there which is also great for workday lunches. We only go there a few times a year since I try not to eat too many carbs, but the waitress always remembers us and if we don't call ahead, she remembers what we usually order as soon as we walk in. Yes, the reason she remembers our order is that we're hooked on the same thing every time. I'm a sucker for white pizza, and theirs is great. We get it with onions. It's not something I would've thought to order, but a friend suggested it one of the first times we went there and it's been our usual ever since. I've even driven into the city, and past about 1000 other pizza places, during the pandemic to grab one for takeout.

Directions for a perfect day. Park your car on Packer Ave for free. Enter the Linc. Watch the Eagles WIN!! Exit the Linc, run to your car in attempt to beat traffic on 76 while giving high fives to anyone and everyone in green. Stop into Celebre's and pick up a slice or 4 to go! I love how this place hasn't changed through the years. Everyone is super friendly, and while I've only had their pizza, I love it every time. Thank you Celebre's! You always make sitting in traffic much more tolerable.

Have not been here since routinely visiting this spot with my grandmother 10+ years ago as a child, which was always followed by a trip to Termini Bros next door. Pizza is the exact same (same as in excellent), hospitality was amazing and I'd especially like to compliment the young gentleman who took over our table after we started eating, and I'd recommend this small, family-owned, family-friendly pizza joint to absolutely everyone. I will make it a point to take the half hour drive with my girls for the same food and nostalgic experience I had as a child. Celebre's is amazing! Much love.

Best pizza growing up, best pizza place still. Ask for the old way or a pizzaz with hots. Love them! Everything on their menu is wonderful. Clean, polite family owned

Yes no words can explain how great this little spot is... Maybe the BEST pizzeria in South Philly, or all of Philly. I used to come down here atleast once a month and it was even better when my father and i used to work in the city ... Their Sicilian is Amazing ...(go with the half and half). Their crust is great, and yes i mentioned crust. You go in there and you will not see any crust on their pans from the people who have ordered it. The smell alone when you start to walk up to the place is just inviting.. the smell of the pizza in the oven, makes one impatient . I brought my wife for the first time and at first she thought pizza was pizza.. What a shock she was in when she tried a slice. the sauce they use is delicious.. i love pizza... it is not like the greasy "Greek" style. You can tell the difference between Italian style and Greek style..... the oil.. their pizza crust is not covered in it. plus enjoy a slice of how you want it with a cold beer.. good bottle selections too Its small and if you decide to go in before a sporting event .. good luck, and even after the games the place gets packed. Best time is before (1-2 hrs) or during the game if you don't have a ticket. If you don't want pizza( you should be slapped back to reality) they have other great sandwiches... I personally like their Sausage special , or their Italian hoagie.. Go with the sausage special .. its just that good.. the rolls they put it on is fresh and its not that store brand rolls.... zero complaints

Round robin flavors terrific I love it 2 days later in toaster oven broiled then baked DELICIOUS

Great pizza (Their pizzazz is fabulous), great sandwiches, fresh salads, quick delivery. Never had a bad experience here - very consistent.

Great local pizza shop. The Cruton and pizzaz pizzas are the best. The place has the old school family run sort of feel. Very nice people.

Fantastic pizza and buffalo chicken cheesesteak. Go for the Old Way if you like sauce / upside-down style. Flames. Thanks Celebre!

My go to spot! I've been living in S.Philly for 30 years now. I hate to admit that it's next to impossible to find a great pie unless you order from here! Try their white with spinach. The best you'll ever have! The steaks and Stromboli is awesome also! Orders are always correct too. The actually listen to every special request. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Delivery is fast. You can never go wrong with Celebres!

I like to consider myself a NY style pizza foodie. I love the how the cheese, pepperoni, sauce, and homemade crust mingle on my taste buds (not to mention the drippings). This was my first visit to Celebre Pizzeria and they did not disappoint. My cheese and pepperoni pizza was ready early and tasted awesome. Celebre ranks in my top 5 NY style pizza experiences. I will definitely be back!

Was HORRIBLE HAD pepperoni n no cheese WAS ON SOME OF my square slices N very little cheese ON THE REST OF Pie.....Very disappointing cause I WAS THERE and ATE IN my hubby n I, back in Sept 2019 n even place Deliveries afterwards! We did a pickup TODAY N I WAS VERY unsatisfied when I got Home THE PERSON cooking THE PIES LOOK LIKE he 12yrs OLD BUT hopefully older....Not THE STAFF WHEN MY hubby n I were IN THERE n Deliveryman IS EVEN Different....It WAS TRULY A WASTE of MONEY

I would love to give this place 5 starts but I have a real problem. Even when you order to eat in they give you paper plates and styrofoam cups (with lids for water). That is not only a terrible environmental practice, but it can't make economical sense. If they bought a few cups and plates and washed them it would be better for everyone. The pizza is excellent and the people working are very nice. I hope they take this advice and make a change so we can come back again.

Absolutely the best pizza in the city. It's old school and classic. The service is outstanding and food is always fresh. The location is perfect right near all the sporting events. Must try the pizzaz pizza there is no one that makes it better.

Last time I was here it was in 2015. Pizza was great. Was in town and did a little tour of the old neighborhood. Since it was 4th of July the other 2 pizza places were closed. Was really excited that celebre's was open. My step brother from out of town was with me and I wanted to give him good pizza! Well I was very disappointed. My husband got 4 slices. 2 for him and 1 each for my brother and I. It looked really soft and not crispy or like pizza used to be. It was worse than Elio's! It was like white bread with gravy and cheese. My husband eats everything and anything and he even threw the 2 1/2 slices away after eating his one slice. I are the cheese off of mine. I can't believe it was so terrible. What's going on celebre's ?

Celebre Pizzeria you are simply outstanding, I had an incredible experience here yesterday. The menu is amazing and the atmosphere is perfect. OMG, their Pizzaz was absolutely yummy, such a splendid dish with outstanding flavors. The service was also amazing and every one was friendly. I would definitely come back to Celebre Pizzeria if I am in the area.

Used to stop here before ball games and grab a slice back in the day. The pizza was good. Haven't been here in about 15 years. Was working in the area, so I decided to grab a couple slices for lunch. Oh man, terrible. So, so garlicky! I felt like I was chewing on a garlic clove. So overpowering that you couldn't taste the sauce or cheese. I got home from work and my wife says, what did you eat? She couldn't come near me the rest of the night. Their pizza- Never again. It will be Hoagies and sandwiches if I dare go back. The service was good and very friendly.

There's a reason Whitey Ashburn used to mention this place on the radio during Phillies games. It's just good thin crust pizza. It's not fancy. It's not pretty. But it's the type of pizza where the sauce really stands out. That's how you know pizza is good. And the best part is that you can just order a couple of slices and a beer if you want to. That means you can get a great South Philly dining experience under 10 bucks. Well, the even better part is that the place looks like it hasn't changed in over 40 years, and neither has the waitress. That's atmosphere!

There's a pizza style found only in Philly called Pizzazz. After reading about it on the internet, I knew I had to try it. No one knows where it began and why but I was recommended to try it at Celebre's Pizzeria in deep South Philly near the stadiums. Basically it is a pizza topped with American cheese, tomatoes, and hot cherry peppers. There is no sauce. Well surprisingly it is very tasty...even with American cheese as their topping base. Celebre's makes a good pizza to begin with and their Pizzazz Philly-style right out of the oven is very easy to eat. Just go with a friend because they don't sell it by the slice!

The pizza and cheesesteaks are very good. Staff was friendly. Nice bakery next door for deserts!

Celebre is by far one of the best pies In Philly. Great balance of sauce and cheese. I finally got there in between the chaos of the stadiums. Don't get me wrong, I am social but off hours is a damn Great pie and friendly service for this divey Old school pizza joint. They make a passable chesesteak and a great Stromboli but they are all about the pizza!!!

Two Kentuckians went to Philly excited about the cheesesteaks, and left craving Celebre Pizza. My boyfriend and I stopped here after a Phillies game last summer. We were starving and needed food ASAP. It's been almost a year since we ate here, and we still talk about how amazing the pizza was. It might even be the best pizza we've ever had. Definitely recommend! If we ever get back to Philly, this will be our first stop.

The pizza is pretty good. It's not the best I've had but it is a solid place. The staff is very friendly as well and the service was pretty quick. The inside is small but cozy. We would definitely come here again. Our waitress was so nice to my two year old niece as well.

Love the mom and pop shop feel. The appetizer was great and the white pizza was AMAZING. I highly recommend this family restaurant.

This place was always my favorite when it came to pizza. Fast delivery and pizza is always nice at hot but one of my favorites is the pepperoni stromboli

My go to before events in South Philly. I have been coming to Celebre's for decades. It is my go-to place for a meal before events in South Philly. They have very good pizza, good cheesesteaks, and good Hoagies. Service is always efficient and friendly. The place is No Frills. Just tables and food. If you go before a game, the place will be packed with people wearing the team's jerseys. Parking can be a little difficult at times. Get desserts next door at Termini's.

The picture does ALL the talking! I only wish that someone near me, in the suburbs of Philadelphia, knew how to satisfy someone with a good pizza like Celebre's. I've been coming here for years...never enough...and it's like an old vintage wine! What more can someone say...

Always ate here since I was in South Philly High School & later took my college buddies from St Joseph's . As a writer, have eaten pizzas all over (The over hyped NY Pizza & other places ) A high quality pizza-(In my opinion most "Under rated" Pizza in Philly ) Just LUV the classic Celebre pizza ! The crust in crunchy & not greasy (Never gives me "Agita" or heartburn ) & the gravy (sauce) is awesome ! They will adjust how much cheese you want ) I like light cheese ! Try the "Pizzaz" pizza for something different ! Very nice, prompt service- Give it a try before or after a game- Richie in Philly

Extremely rude workers. They didn't want any more customers so they literally locked the doors and no one from the inside could get out. When we politely told them this was a fire hazard they were very rude back and told us otherwise, meanwhile they struggled with the key and the door for 10 minutes the next time a customer attempted to leave.... clearly a fire hazard. It was crowded because an Eagles game was going on, and there was some cheers and chants however no one was being rowdy. A worker starts yelling at the entire restaurant telling us he was going to turn off all the TVs and to be quiet. Absolutely ridiculous to do to paying customers. Shouldn't you be happy your restaurant is crowded probably for the first time? Also the pizza tasted like trash so there's that.

Took a jaunt down the Schuylkill tonight. Nothing to write home about I'm afraid. I really wanted to like the place due to the glowing reviews found here and other sites, but I'm not impressed. Edible, but none of the ingredients shine and it has this wierd (not a good wierd) undertone of a taste that I can't put my finger on (almost metallic?). Can't pay with credit under $25 which was a pain in the ass but has no bearing in my rating. Atmosphere was nice and unassuming as mentioned before, and the staff were pleasant. Every pizzeria has an off day; maybe that's the case, but pizza costs too much and there are too many alternatives to try for me to go back. Maybe if you're in the neighborhood.

As they say in New York- hey they make a nice pie here! Nothing too special just good old fashion pizza, great crust, fresh toppings and a very relaxed atmosphere. The service is good and friendly. Near the stadiums so they get some sports fan traffic. Tuesday nights might not be the best, but it was beyond our expectations. If you are down by the Navy Yard give it a try, you'll like it.

When I started working in Philadelphia in 2005, the group of people that I used to have lunch with would order from Shitty Pizza (City Pizza). Obviously not thrilled with what I was consuming I set out for options. Celebre's was up the street so I decided to give them a try. Again, I was not impressed with the quality of pizza. Coming to grips with the fact that this was going to be a challenge, I decided to try sandwiches from Celebre's. On both occasions, I was extremely disappointed. The Chicken-Parm sandwich was a disaster, and to be a Philly establishment, the bread sucked. In 2006 I officially wrote this place off and didn't set foot in the place again. Last week was the first time, since my self-imposed ban, I walked into Celebre's. Two of my friends decided to have lunch here. I walked into Celebre's extremely concerned about this lunch. Expecting to be disappointed, I started complaining the moment we left the office through the entire car ride. "Oh they don't take debit cards, now I have to get cash out of the ATM and pay a fee" I cried. When we walked into the Celebre's my friend picked a table along the far wall from the entrance. They could afford to remove some of the tables along the far wall. I know I am a chubby dude, but my friend is in the gym 5 days a week and he was bumping into tables trying to get into the booth. I guess you can say my defenses were so far up I was looking for anything to complain about. We ordered a large pepperoni pie for the table, and we each had a chicken caesar salads. Now the salad process was a little interesting. Our waitress took travel containers out of the fridge that was filled with lettuce. She ran them under the water from the fountain machine and gave them to girl behind the counter, where the rest of the salad was prepared. Like I said the process was interesting but overall the salad was not bad. The chicken was fresh as it was cut and placed on the salad right off the grill. I was also pleased that they did not serve it with the creamy Caesar dressing. I think the croutons were made from pizza dough. I am not quite sure but it was interesting. As for the pizza...well eh. It will never be the best in my opinion but either they've slightly improved, or I've just had worst since that I can't tell. One thing for sure they are much better than Shitty Pizza (City Pizza). I still won't be the one to suggest eating here but, I am probably not going to avoid it like the plague.

One of the very best things about Phillies season for me is that I get to visit Celebre's regularly without making a special trip. I gotta admit, it just isn't a game unless we stop there first... (even when you're grilling in the jetro lot, you need some hoagies to tide you over 'til the burgers are done) Celebre's Pizza is one of my top 3 in the city-- deliciously garlicky, salty sauce; thick, quality cheese; thin crispy crusts with freshly doughy ends... almost perfection. Celebre's hoagies are a million times better than Primo's. And weigh about 5 pounds. Literally. Celebre's fries are out of this galaxy. Celebre's has beer. $4 Stella's (yay!); $5 Yuenglings(boo!). Can't explain the logic, but hey-- it's pizza and beer, what more could you want? Some caveats: -Game times and weekends they are very very very busy. If you're picking up, order well ahead of time and be prepared to wait a minute before you can let them know you're there. If you're eating in, be prepared to wait, be prepared for a slightly hustled feeling, and be prepared for noise (games-- raucous fans; weekends-- bored teens) -If you want split checks, tell them the very moment they come over to speak with you. Son't wait until the order is in. I promise, you'll have a much better, faster time. -It's South Philly. The waitresses are representative. You'll have the most pleasant experience possible if you just accept that, stop judging, and don't try to change them. - The waitresses ARE waitresses and they do a damn fine job-- make sure you actually tip them.
