My family and I had ordered pizza from here the other night and it was absolutely amazing!!! We ordered the following:
Cheese
Vodka Margherita
Special: Pickle Bacon Ranch
Every single slice was absolutely delicious. The pizza is extremely flavorful and the toppings really compliment the pizza. We loved the speciality pizza with the pickles!! Even the pizza crust was delicious!
We highly recommend this pizza place!

Nothing special. I am tourist. Had the regular tomato slice, just bread with cool tomato sauce on it and oregano. Meh!
Had the buffalo chicken, it was salty
Had a vehi slice okay.
The dough is good. But average tasting.

I've been wanting to come here for years, but I'm always getting food elsewhere in the area. Today I changed that. I went with the everything bagel pizza slice special, and a plain to see how their base is.
Ordering is solely through a side window, with limited street seating. This is a place to get a slice and go. The special slice was creative, and the food came out pretty quickly. Approximately 5 minutes from ordering of two slices to receiving the food.
Both slices were cooked nicely, and tasted pretty good. Neither stood out to me as memorable, but every bite was crunchy and flavorful. I like the little cheese pieces on top, and I finished the crusts of both.
I'd probably stop here in the future if I was coming home from a bar, or wanted a quick slice when in the area. I don't drink anymore, and I usually am in the area with intent to eat somewhere already, so I won't likely be back any time soon.
It's well worth your time and money, you may love it!

Best pizza in Philly hands down. Slightly better pizza than Beddia without the pretentiousness and you can bring your own drink or take the pizza to go. The weekly specials are must try. I get it anytime I see they have a vegetarian one ☺️ LOVE Pizza Shackamaxon! More

One of my favorite, if not the favorite, pizza place in Philly. Philly has some incredible spots, so that’s saying something. I typically go pepperoni with hot honey (get the hot honey if they have it), and a slice of that fluffy and … More

Pizza Shackamaxon is some of the best pizza in Philly, hands down. It's thin, crispy slices are reminiscent of my favorite New Haven Style Pizza, but not quite the same. We tried pepperoni and plain slices and one thing was clear, this … More

Best pizza in the city. Super consistent, they always use the best ingredients and it shows with their traditional pizzas and their regularly rotating specialty pizzas. Tomato pie is also a must if you gotta avoid the cheese. Always a … More

We got the plain cheese pizza slice. The crust was crispy and light. The pizza itself was really good. Definitely worth a stop to grab a slice or two. … More
