Tonite my friend (Caucasian) took my 16 year old sweet quiet African American family member to the store to get a free slice of pizza. My friend gave the slice to my sweet family member (braids and all). The owner got angry at my friend -- asked to speak to my friend in the back and said. "I thought the slice was for you, not that black girl!" I called tonite to talk to the owner or his son to see what is going on with the owner with this displaced anger. This is crazy! Hopefully an apology will be in order, or perhaps I can be of assistance and provide a few hours of counseling (my profession) to get to the root of this issue. FREE OF CHARGE. This is definately not a way to run a business. Even though it is hard for me to do -- I know God wants me to do the right thing. Thank you God for being in my life and sending me people like this to remind me, I will ALWAYS need you! I will also pray for the owner/and for this restaurant to receive blessings. I left my number, please give me a call.

Pizza is average. While my son and I were treated well, I was very disturbed at how a local Latino gentleman was treated when he stopped inside to chat with a patron he knew. He was chased out by the owner for not buying anything! While he is well within his rights technically, that behavior is unkind.

This place has okay pizza. It's a good place to go if you're just trying to get the job done. You get a huge slice of for not that much money. But your pizza won't be totally awesome. The pizza usually sits out all day getting kind of crusty. There are flies in this place, so who knows if they've touched the pizza. But then they put it in the oven when you order and it comes out warm. Still not fresh, though. I've been here a few times and just never get excited about returning.

One of the worst establishments on south side. Mediocre food, similar prices to anything else, offensively bad service and checkout manners. You would be better off getting a sandwich at Pantry One convenience store next door than this place

If you want a slice of pizza or two because you are hungry, this will suffice. If you want anything more, go elsewhere.

Yick - one step above Lehigh Pizza - which is about Zero stars and below Pizza House. A neccessary evil for Lehigh Students. YUCK! Skip it and get a sandwhich from the Goose.

Yea their delivery pizza isn't great, its always too soft and gets a little soggy sitting in the box. Ask for extra crispy and it won't be a problem. I don't think they always cook it long enough because that would take longer and they wanna crank pizza out as fast as they can to the Lehigh students. When you buy a slice in there they put it back in the oven but make sure they leave it for a few minutes if you like a crispy good slice of pizza. They use imported cheese and tomato sauce and many of the main ingredients are all natural toppings made in Italy, aside from their dough, which is a top quality organic wheat dough. The ingredients are far less processed than Soto Santi or Lehigh pizza. This could make it taste different to someone who normally eats processed pizza; the vast majority of even local pizza places used processed ingredients. If you're pizza from campus is made the right way, it can be fantastic. I'd like to think the all natural part makes it healthier but their Italian pepperoni (a cured meat, not sure if that's considered natural) is great but their normal pizza is greasy and with the pepperoni there's even more grease. This makes the pizza fattier but it makes it taste better and isn't noticeable if it is made properly and you eat it while its still hot or warm. However, the grease will eventually settle and is what soaks into the dough making it soggy and seem old. Just get extra crispy and ear there or don't let it sit too long. The rest of the food on the menu is all pretty good and they sell beer in 40's, 6 packs, 18 packs or bottles you can drink in the restaurant. I like the $8 for a six pack of Yuengling. Who ever said that the cashier was an ass better not be talking about Kelmer. he works the register and never doesn't have a smile on. Hes the youngish one with dark hair and accent. If it was the heavy set guy or the older man with white hair, I could understand. He can come off as rude to people because he is curt with some customers and doesn't understand English perfectly. That combined with his Italian accent and loud way of speaking makes him seem rude, but hes a good guy whose just been running that business for years. Overall a great convenient restaurant with high quality food. I prolly wouldn't normally give it a 5 but its gotten a bad rap here.

Ehhh. I used to get pizza here a lot because of the convenient location, but I've totally been converted to Lehigh Pizza, which is just so much better. The pizza here is VERY greasy and the crust tastes like cardboard. I've had some pretty gross experiences. Once we ordered a pizza and there was literally a puddle of grease sitting on to of the pizza that we had to drain before the pizza was edible. The staff are very creepy and usually unfriendly, unless you're a regular, in which case they'll chat to you at the register for 10 minutes, thereby holding up the rest of the line and pissing everyone off. They act like you're doing them the worst disfavor in the world by coming in there and making them perform the horrible strenuous task of placing your order. And if you dare place a large order on the phone, expect many exasperated sighs and moans. All in all, not reccommended. Try Lehigh Pizza instead for superior food and service.

Despite the fact that I became sick from a couple of slices, I'm in a generous mood. Can the $6 student pie deal be beaten? The short answer: Yes. It's still a very good deal, but you can get a far superior pie at Sotto Santi one block down for the exact same price. At Sotto Santi, the pizza doesn't taste like it was made from cardboard cooked with low-grade cheese and tomato sauce. (these are 2007 prices;everything might cost more now) The other items on the menu are not bad at all, and better than their excuse for pizza.

I'm a native NYer and this pizza is pretty bad. The staff is rude and have terrible English. They only accept Visa and Mastercard. The catering is pretty good though.

Had a mediocore chicken cheesesteak here one time, the guy behind the counter was pretty rude and didn't serve me water until I asked for it a second time.

A bit overpriced for average pizza. Ordered 2 pies- one Hawaiian and one white broccoli. Both were not fantastic but was hot and fresh out of the over. Nothing was entirely too special about the pies but I guess that just goes for any old pie shop in this area. Overall, I would say for the pricing of $14/pie, that's a bit too expensive for average pies.

Glad I won't have to be going back here after finding Sotto Santi's nearby, which is both better pizza and cheaper. We used to get pizza from Campus all the time, mostly because it's $6 for a large cheese if you're a Lehigh Student. The quality of the pizza isn't bad, but I've never been a big fan of the guy that usually runs the cash register. He's always pretty rude, and I've never had a good experience with him. One time he refused to give us the $6 deal without any reason than "we're not doing that today," even though it was a weekday during the semester (when they've always had the deal). If you want to eat at Campus, it's kind of strange: there are 3-4 booths right by the counter, and then there's a large room next to it, but the lights are always turned off, so they don't really encourage people to sit there. If you have a choice, either go to Lehigh Pizza or Sotto Santi. Avoid Campus.

For what it's worth, if you order a fresh pie the pizza is just fine. If you buy by the slice and have them heat it up, then the pizza is kind of gross. Yes there are better pizza places. But there's nothing in the Southside that's much better for pizza in this price range. I do agree that the plain pies are better at other Southside pizza places but their specialty pizzas aren't too bad. Try Bianca's behind the Dunkin Donuts on Stefko Blvd for cheap but excellent pies.

I went in here not too long ago to grab lunch after getting a haircut up the street. What a mistake that was. It was not worth the less than $5 I spent on the two slices I got. As DC said in his review, the pizza tastes like it was made with poor quality ingredients. The location is alright, and there is ample amounts of seating ... mostly because there's nobody there. Next time I'm in the area, I'll probably go out of my way to get better food, lord knows there's better food and beverage shops within spitting distance.

Ehh...not very satisfying. Unfortunately as a Lehigh student, there aren't many close options for pizza and this is probably the closest. Campus Pizza offers a good deal on a plain pie during the week which is a plus, but the pizza just doesn't taste very good. I think Lehigh Pizza is better, but still not great. If you have a car, do yourself a favor and get pizza on north side, it'll be worth it I promise.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types.

Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
