A great neighborhood place for sandwiches and pizza. Try the cheesesteak and chicken cheesesteak wraps. They are phenomenal. So many other places get orders wrong or take forever to deliver. Pete’s is consistently getting this part right. Orders are always right and that food is there fast and still pretty hot. It’s easy to take things like that for granted, but so few places get it right like Pete’s.

First time ordering from this place and was amazed. Elise was super friendly, helpful and welcoming over the phone. She asked me if it was my first time ordering from them and was extremely patient. This meant a lot to me because I had no idea what to order. She made some recommendations. The food tasted amazing. The quality was great and the service was fast. Truly, an amazing experience. I highly recommend this location. Elise can teach a college course on customer service.

I’ve been living in Philadelphia for over 30 years, and I’ve tried cheesesteaks from just about every spot in the city. Nothing compares to Pete’s Famous Pizza. The steak is perfectly seasoned, the bread is always fresh, and the cheese melts just right. It’s the kind of sandwich that reminds you why Philly is known for cheesesteaks. After three decades here, I can honestly say—Pete’s makes the best I’ve ever had.

When I moved to Philly I was so sad I left my old pizza shop in Ohio. I tried so many pizza places in Philly trying to replace it and I just couldn’t get it right, that’s until I saw Pete’s. I thought you know what hell yeah let’s get some Pete’s and I must say it was the exact same as my old pizza shop and i immediately felt like I was back home! The sauce is so good and the pizza crust is perfectly soft and chewy and crispy all at once!!!! I also tried their cheesesteak since those were also new to me since moving to Philly and I was blown away! I haven’t tried any other cheesesteaks since because theres are just so damn good! Thankyou for taking care of me and being the best pizza shop in Philly!!!

I ordered the cheesesteak from Pete’s Famous Pizza, and it was delicious! The bread was soft and fresh, the meat was juicy and flavorful, and the melted cheese tied everything together perfectly. The portion was generous, and it came out hot and satisfying. The staff were friendly, and the service was quick. Definitely one of the best spots around for a good Philly cheesesteak.
