philly delivery | Her Philly

Today, I heard the news about the first local Philly spot closing its doors due to financial strain from the current Covid quarantine. I have been so, so, so thankful for each local restaurant figuring out how to run a business right now, opening up to offer delicious food, contactless Philly delivery, and well, some sanity. Because yes, we’re all cooking a whole lot more, but some nights, you really just can’t do another dish, am I right?

Jim & I have ordered out a bit, usually getting several dishes to last us over the next few days. While pretty much everything has been good, a few spots have really stood out to us as some of the best delivery food in Philadelphia.

I am sharing tons of the food we’ve been chomping on (both cooking & from restaurants!) over on Instagram if you’re interested in following along there. And now, on to our absolute favorite Philadelphia delivery spots!

When I was younger and had to answer a questionnaire in my latest fill-in-the-blank diary or complete my profile on Xanga, I could never decide on what my favorite food was. Fast forward to answering that same question now, and I literally can’t think of any thing but this answer: PIZZA. I love it, and living in Philadelphia has only elevated my obsession. Some days I drive home from work and find myself day dreaming about where I will order pizza from that night. It’s a sickness. A cheesy, crispy, saucy sickness.

So, anybody else ready for a slice? To fuel your cravings, here are some of my favorite Philadelphia pizza places I’d love to chomp on right about now . . .

Lazaro’s (1743 South St.)

The sweetest, yummiest sauce and pretty much the biggest slices I’ve ever seen. Plus, they’re open literally every snow storm/hurricane and have awesome quick delivery.

Serafina (130 S. 18th St.)

Since this pizza (the ALL’ UOVO, aka mozzarella, prosciutto, sliced tomato & egg) is quite a rare treat for me at $18+ a pie, it haunts my dreams. Crispy, flavorful perfection.

SliCE (1740 Sansom St. & 1180 S. 10th St.)

SliCE is one of my favorite delivery pizza spots, but lately I’ve been loving stopping by their storefront for a quick bite while I’m shopping in the area. They have great salads too, but let’s be real, we’re all here for the pizza. {PS: LivingSocial is running a deal for all of SliCE’s locations today: $10 for $20}

Gianfranco Pizza Rustica (248 S. 11th St., 6 N. 3rd St. & 2124 S. Broad St.)

Gianfranco was another one of my favorite delivery options. But after one too many times waiting almost 2 hours for pizza delivery, I’ve stopped ordering from there. Nonetheless, they make a great pie.

Pietro’s (1714 Walnut St. & 121-123 South St.)

Before I moved to the city, Pietro’s was my go-to spot when shopping on Walnut St. But, similarly to Gianfranco, after many visits with pretty lackluster service, I haven’t been in months. I wish this wasn’t the case, because their Barese pie (roasted sausage, hot pesto, tomato, basil, & mozzarella) is to die for.

I hope you enjoyed taking a peek into this love affair. What are some of your favorite pizza options in Philly? I obviously need to know… 🙂
