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.

The chicken parm sandwich was tasty at a reasonable price, and the owner was very nice. I will definitely return--most likely many many times--to try other items available on the menu (I haven't even tried their pizza yet) and just to enjoy good food. I gave four stars because I'm stingy and don't give out five stars easily... may update rating depending on future experiences. =) Update: pizza is decent. I understand the appeal for pizza from places like Zio and NYPD, but I like the pizza here just as much. Wings are good too. As a person who has traveled to many places of the world and within the US, I have to honestly say that Key Pizza's food don't give me the "wow" effect. However, they have consistency in good quality and quantity---for a good price. This is now my go-to place for a good meal when I am too tired to cook after work.

Best customer service ever! During the blizzards a couple of years ago, we called every pizza place we knew of and no one was delivering. We then googled local pizza joints and Key Pizza came up so we decided to give them a try - and they were the only ones in S. Philly delivering. Then, during the next blizzard, THEY actually called US to say that they're still open and delivering! The pizza is good, too. Haven't had any of the other food, but definitely had a good experience.

1. Prices are sometimes different that advertised. 2. Order is usually wrong. 3. They don't actually have the credit/debit fee recorded on the receipt, but the extra amount is applied to the total bill. 4. They don't tell you about the fee until AFTER the transaction is made. 5. Staff is not very friendly. Stay away! There is much better food not that far away..........

Key is a pretty solid choice for delivery in South Philly. I've tried a lot of their menu over the past, oh, seven years or so, and it's all been at least okay (except the wings, see below). The primavera pizza is a favorite choice of the vegetarian set, loaded with real veggies. The various stromboli options are all pretty solid -- calzones are better at Not Just Pizza, though. Cheesesteaks are good. They have a wide variety of fried stuff, if you're into the appetizers. The mild wings are a favorite of mine. ...Do not ever, ever order the HOT wings, however. For some bizarre and disgusting reason, the difference between mild and hot is not the addition of hot sauce, it is the addition of black pepper. Like, a cup of it. I didn't even know what to say when I tasted it, except "ew" and "my lord, why?". So yeah. Only the mild wings are edible. Beware. On a non-food note, I found 22 typos in their takeout menu, thereby earning them the award for Most Typos In One Menu from this obsessive copyeditor. Good job, guys. I'd totally edit your menu for an order of Mega Fries, just FYI. :)

Initially I went there because I enjoyed the friendly service. after tonight I will never go there! The delivery driver was parked on the corner out far.okay, fine.. However, as I was crossing with my dogs to get pizza he started to drive forward almost hitting us. When I started yelling stop, he did....however he preceded to scream at me and then started to tell in another language. Needless to say, I didn't get my food and I never will eat there Again!

Just received our food after an hour of waiting and it wasn't worth it. I ordered the chicken cheesesteak which is not only dry, but the chicken was cooked on an obviously dirty grill. This is the worst hoagie I've had since I've lived in Philly. My husband order a mixed cheese hoagie, and is pretty insistent that mixed cheese doesn't mean "provolone, and more provolone." Ordered raw onion; got fried onion. The rolls are obviously stale, the vinegar (while I LOVE balsamic vinegar) is the main ingredient, and I'm not sure if the hot peppers are actually hot peppers, or sweet peppers because there are so many sticks and seeds in them I just pulled them off and didn't bother. All this after the guy arrived, claimed my phone wasn't working (which it is), and yelled outside the window KEY PIZZA! As a side note (pun completely intended) When pickles are ordered and specified as "on the side" they should be on the side. I shouldn't be trying to squash half inch thick hamburger pickles into my hoagie. When peppers are ordered on the side, they too, should come on the side. The only reason I'm eating this right now is because I hate wasting money.

Best pizza ever. We fight over the crust in my household. Friendly staff and quick delivery if you live in the neighborhood. Take out or delivery only.

I would love to tell you about the pizza at this place, but I never had the chance to try it. Walked in last night between 12:30-12:40 and asked for some slices. The "owner" told us they don't do slices, but we could have a small pizza and it could be ready in 7 minutes. He then suggested we go across the street to the corner bar while we wait. We came back approx 15 minutes later and our pizza was nowhere to be found. We were then told it would be just a minute for our pizza. After waiting an additional 10 minutes we decided to give up on our pizza dreams. Then what happened next was the reason for this review. The "owner" then took offense to my comment of it being pretty poor business of offering us a pizza that takes 7 minutes and still not having it done over 30 minutes later. He came outside with a big metal stick (used to pull down his window covers) and screamed at us telling us he was doing us a favor by making a pizza after he was closed. He then said he closed at 1:00 so I am not sure how this favor was being done. He was very threatening wielding his big metal stick and yelling this is his neighborhood. I don't understand how this guy could think he was right in any way and I will never consider giving him my business ever again.

The food at this place isn't good enough for me to want to pay a $2.75 surcharge just to use my credit or debit card. The people behind the counter weren't very friendly, either. There are so many pizza places in the vicinity with better food, service AND no surcharge... I'll head to one of those next time.
(1)Phil B.
Pizza isn't bad, however they charge whatever they feel like, not honoring the prices posted on the menu on a large display at the counter. This practice has continued for some time now.I have filed a complaint with the state Attorney General. For that reason, I would avoid this establishment. Do not support eateries with unfair trade practices!
(1)Phil R.
My favorite Pizza in South Philly! The crust is delicious. My personal fav is the Primavera Pizza (tomatoes, garlic and spinach) and the Mega Fries are a guilty pleasure (what's better than Fries? How about fries with melted cheese and BACON!). The staff is friendly and delivery is usually pretty quick - the pizza is usually still warm, even though we're over 10 blocks away.
(4)Nicole R.
A corner pizza store that does it right. There is no seating of any type in this establishment, it's a strictly to-go joint. Their prices are unbelievably cheap. You can get a medium pizza for five bucks. I got a huge grilled chicken salad for the same price and it was really good. The chicken was tender and marinated perfectly and there was plenty of it. Enough for two meals (that's $2.50 per meal!) The chicken kabob came in a tortilla rather than a pita which I'm not sure about but it was pretty tasty. TK liked their steak stromboli.
(3)Daniel M.
Key Pizza is fast, convenient, friendly, and serves up some decent pizza. I usually do the 2 Medium pizzas for $10 deal with a friend (toppings extra) and have leftovers for lunch the next day. They have plenty of options for salads and hoagies on the menu, too. All of the times I've been here, the service is consistently really good and the food is tasty. I have seen some pretty poor reviews on Yelp for Key - and it seems the management must have, too. I am guessing they've really tried to turn this place around in the past couple years... and so far, so good.
(4)DC B.
I had been going here for years and stopped once I went vegan, but now there are some great vegan options including a vegetarian steak sandwich which can be made vegan without cheese and there are plenty of vegetable options to add as well as other vegetarian options.
(5)Kate F.
Ordered for the first time tonight. Definitely great pizza and I will be ordering again.
(4)Julie P.
Food is alright. Cheese fries are great here though. I had to speak to unhappy worker to place a delivery who hates his life for some unknown reason even though at least you got a pair of legs and a pair of arms so just be grateful you have a job but what do I know?..
(2)Kevin C.
The pizza is full of flavor. When it comes out of the oven it is hot and has a very great smell. It is among the very best pizza I have ever eaten. The crust is crispy while the cheese has that great pizza pull. If you are ever in philly this is the place to go. The Key Pizza orange cream soda is the best way to wash down the pizza.
(5)Michael B.
This place is a dump to the hundredth degree and the owner is a jerk. After having to wait 45 minutes, he got my family's order wrong and put the blame on us plus he tried to basically rob us! If you pay $30 for 2 Strom bolis and ask for sauce it should be in the stromboli and I was told not to come back because he is knuckle head that doesn't listen. This is the worst place ever if you want your food made right. The last time I checked calzones com with sauce on the side. He needs to be the janitor and sweep the floors if he can handle that! If it was up to me this place would get negative 2 stars, but the place don't deserve that either.
(1)Amy E.
This place is awesome!! I'm a sucker for pizza, I could literally eat it everyday. But, it's so hard to find pizza that is good quality and taste. This is the best philly pizza I've had! All food is made to order, it's not sitting in a window pre made waiting to be ordered and heated up. They even make their own sodas, super cool! I highly recommend this place. I'm lucky enough to live a few blocks away!
(5)Michele D.
I love Keys Pizza! Not only because the owner is a great guy who will make you pretty much whatever you want but also because the Pizza is awesome! I love the Old Fashioned Pizza which has the cheese on the bottom and the sauce on top! I actually get cravings for it! The sauce (which is definitely highlighted in this type of pizza) is perfect; not too sweet like a lot of sauces around here; it has the perfect amount of spices! I also love the fried zucchini sticks and the hot wings! The Keys fries with cheese wiz, bacon and other yummy stuff are great, too! And my kids love Keys chicken nuggets and chicken tenders as much as they love another fast food chain's nuggets (you know the one that starts with a Mc and that every kid loves:) They won't even eat the ones I make at home because "they're not as good as Keys"! Too much other good stuff to mention! I highly recommend Keys!
(5)Dylan M.
Key Pizza is awesome. Their deals are amazing and the delivery is quick. The Pizza is delicious. I highly recommend this!
(5)Cortney K.
my husband and I were in town for a Phillies game and the front desk recommended Key Pizza. we ordered a pepperoni stromboli and chicken tender platter and were not disappointed. the stromboli was huge, super cheesy and very flavorful and the chicken fingers were crispy and delicious. the whole meal was $20 delivered.. very affordable!

I've gotten delivery from here a few times and each time has been a hassle. The first two times I ordered (using Grubhub) I didn't have any cash so I put the tip on my credit card when I ordered. I got chastised both times by the driver to always tip in cash because he doesn't get that money, etc etc. I didn't think the pizza was bland at all, the crust was crispy, perfect amount of red sauce and cheese and cooked to perfection. The pizza was actually so delicious, that I decided to brush off my experience with the delivery driver. I decided to order again this week because my mom is in town and she can't get decent pizza in North Carolina (for some reason there's no pizzerias down there except for the chains). Remembering my past experiences, I decided to tip in cash and clicked the appropriate buttons in Grubhub to do so. I received a call about 10 minutes later from Grubhub stating that the owner of the business called them (Grubhub) and asked if I could put the tip on my card because they're having an issue with their drivers. The woman from Grubhub even remarked how unusual of a request this was. I agreed to putting the tip on the card but made sure I told her about my past issues with the drivers complaining which is why I tipped in cash. To make the situation even worse, the pizza was completely different from my previous ones. It was completely tasteless and WAY WAY overcooked. I apologized to my mom because I knew it wasn't the "pizzeria" pizza she was craving. The only SLIGHTLY redeeming thing about the whole meal was the mozzarella sticks, which were probably just frozen ones that they tossed into a fryer. My mom even remarked how the dipping sauce was bland. I think there is definitely some shady business practices going on here and I don't think I will ever order from here again.

Key Pizza is a pretty standard corner pizza shop for South Philly, but they're really bringing things up to par these days. I saw the 2-star average this place had, but noted that they're mostly from 2010 and 2011. I think the owner is trying to spruce up the business and keep customers more happier now! You can't beat the price. Two medium pizzas for $10 (toppings extra) is the daily deal. This is about $2.50 per person for dinner if you split it 4 ways! My reason that it's not a 5 - the pizza is super greasy. Be prepared to blot with some napkins or let it drip off the slice before you take a bite. Yes, delicious, but a bit artery-clogging, too. There are a ton of pizza toppings to choose from, but the options don't stop at pizza! There are hoagies, wings, salads, and other side items which are tasty (and greasily lovely), too. The counter attendants have been friendly and welcoming when I've visited, and it's definitely a family-run shop. No chain conformity here! If you're looking for a late-nite grease-laden snack to hit the spot, Key Pizza is the place.

OK, I don't know what the problem is here, but I'm writing this review in defense of my FAVORITE pizza place, Key Food Pizza! Key Food Pizza is a typical South Philly Pizza shop, and I've been going there for ten years. I have NEVER had a problem; I've placed orders both in person and by phone, and my food was EXACTLY how I wanted it. The pizza was hot, the crust was crispy, but not burnt, and DEFINITELY NOT GREASY! My hoagies have always been neatly made; the ingredients tasted fresh, and NEVER soggy. As far as the staff, I've always been treated with respect. They are friendly, and never too busy to say "hello." I stopped in at Key Food Pizza a couple of days ago to order lunch, and Domenic, the owner, mentioned that he would like to have a tasting party. Anyone interested should contact him for details.

I'm so pleased, I was too lazy to cook today and craving New Years pizza. I called my normal place and they clearly weren't open I actually tried a few places. Not only was Key Pizza open but they were soo sweet and patient on the phone. I got the veggie pizza- its pretty good. I can't complain it comes with all the standard toppings a veggie pizza should have olives, green peppers etc and it has seasoning as well, Mmmm. A little soggy but veggie and thin crust pizza, eh. Poor delivery guy I think my crappy delayed math skills made him think i was going to stiff him but he didn't get upset or grumpy- just looked heart broken- don't worry he was tipped.
(4)Jennifer L.
There was definitely something in my mouth. It was supposed to be pizza. But it was so tasteless that I could have been eating the pizza box. I was a little hesitant to order from here. I live literally a half block away, but I usually order from Francoluigi's at 13th and Tasker instead. The poor reviews of Key were a turnoff, both regarding the food and the people who work there. I expected to be treated like crap, but the counter guy was SO nice. He gave me a Key Pizza calendar (they have motivational and scenes from Pennsylvania. I chose motivational) as well as a refrigerator magnet. But when I got my two medium pizzas ($10) home, I was disappointed. One, the cheese was overcooked so there were lots of little brown spots. That's fine, but I'd rather have the cheese a little less cooked. The crust was so hard and had no taste, the sauce had no taste, nor did the overcooked cheese. My boyfriend puts hot sauce and other junk on his pizza, and even with all that, he was still let down by how bland it was. Maybe they use really cheap ingredients? It's quite a feat to produce a food product that has no flavor whatsoever. I have no idea what they did to it, or didn't do to it. We each ate two pieces (they're small pieces) and left the rest of it sit in the kitchen, bound for the trash. I feel bad, because the guy was so nice, but people should know what to expect from this place. Back to Francoluigi's next time for us.

Key Pizza has great cheese pizzas. They accommodate large orders well. I recommend that you order direct or pick up for your best experience.
(3)Stu J.
Key Pizza is your classic corner pizza shop. It's Philly style pizza, just crispy enough with a good sauce. My favorite is the Godfather pizza. I used to frequent Key when I lived in the East Passyunk neighborhood, and got to know the owner Stephanos. He's a great guy who gets to know his customers and has a lot of appreciation for them and the neighborhood. I still pop in for a slice time to time when passing by. It's not fancy gourmet pizza or anything. But they make a great pie at a great price.
(4)Liz W.
This was my first time ordering from Key pizza and both the food and service was superb. Great neighborhood joint. I will definitely be back to try out more things on their menu.
(5)Mike S.
With so many good food options in the neighborhood, you may overlook this tiny pizza shop, tucked away on a quiet corner off Passyunk Ave. But it serves quality food at low prices. There may be more delicious pizza in the neighborhood, but this is a CORNER PIZZA STORE for cheap pizza, crispy wings, and stuffed cheesesteaks. For an Eagles game or quiet night inside with a good movie, Key Pizza is my go-to delivery option. The food is hot with solid quality when compared to similar corner pizza jawns in the area. On top of that, the owner/general manager is a super friendly guy. One day he threw in a free soda after chatting a little. Thanks man!
(5)Eric W.
I can't get enough of this place. Love, love, love. They are awesome on the phone. Quick delivery. Delicious. Once I was disappointed to get red peppers instead of green peppers, but we cleared up that disagreement and moved on. Every other time, it has been a match made in heaven.
(5)Nanci S.
I can't for the life of me understand the negative reviews, except that they are probably coming from Center City transplants. I discovered Key Food Pizza about five years ago when a friend of mine ordered a pizza for dinner. The crust was crunchy-chewy, the gravy had just the right amount of spices, and the cheese was bubbly hot and stringy. I was hooked!!! I won't order pizza from anywhere else. I especially love their veggie pizza; it's LOADED! I love their Italian hoagies. If you want to be comfortably full, order one with "the works." As for the personnel, you couldn't ask for nicer people. Whether you call in your order for delivery or pick-up, or walk in on the spur of the moment, they're courteous, and treat you like they've known you all your life. AND, THEY GET THE ORDER RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! As for having to wait, it's worth it! As for the prices, you get what you pay for, and you DEFINITELY get your money's worth at Key Food Pizza. So, if you think you can find something better, knock yourself out. But show a business who has been here longer than most of the complainers some respect, OK? For the newcomer to South Philly, give Key Food Pizza a try and enjoy; you won't be disappointed!
(5)AJ S.
I'm pretty puzzled by the negative reviews... The customer service was wonderful. I had the best anchovy pizza here. I was a walk in; they were very busy; but I didn't have to wait very long. Only do pizza once in a blue moon, but I will definitely come back here when the craving hits again.
(4)Casino M.
I spoke to somebody on the phone and they were very f****** rude. They have s***** customer service and s***** pizza. Don't be fooled by their deals. I would not recommend that you order from them. honestly you're better off with a frozen pizza from Rite Aid.

Key Pizza is a solid corner store pizza place that serves good food from good dudes. While I was waiting for my food the manager gave me a complimentary slice and we enjoyed a pleasant conversation. The food was ready in no time and was absolutely delicious and the portions where wayyyyyyyyy bigger then I would have imagined (a great surprise). Overall I gave Key Pizza a 5 star review because the food came out quick and was delicious and the people working make it a wonderful experience. I will definitely be a returning customer and highly recommend it to others.
(5)Lisa H.
I really like Key Pizza, I think the pizza and strombolis are great. And, I am a vegetarian so I love that they also have seitan cheesesteaks as well as their Key Fires that they will do without bacon and are really good. The owner is so nice, and sometimes they get busy so will put you on hold but never too long and I found all the people that work there to be very customer oriented. I am a big fan, and order regularly and will continue to do so.
(5)Shakera G.
This place has online ordering, which would be pretty convenient if the site didn't log close your order before you are able to enter the credit card information. So, I had to call to finish my order and give them all of the credit card info necessary to pay. About an hour later, once the delivery guy arrives, I noticed that the receipt slip didn't have a signature line, once I asked him, "Do you want me to sign it anyway?" He yelled at me, "WHATEVER!" At this point he notices cash in my hand (which was intended to be his tip). "Is that my tip?" he asked. I told him not anymore. At that point I noticed that even though my online order said $22 including delivery, and that was confirmed over the phone. They charged me $25. Oh....and the food didn't even taste that great. Needless to say, I won't be ordering from here ever again.

I'm from Arizona, here for the lacrosse tourney, and Philly has been awesome. With that being said, idk if this is just how Philly food is, but my friend and I ordered a large pizza and wings last night. We paid two extra dollars for pepperoni, and there was probably 10 pepperoni's on the whole pizza. Both the wings and pizza were pretty nasty. The ranch was disgusting too and I love ranch. Anyway, I wouldn't go here.
(1)Tom Y.
Wanted to order a dozen wings.. Owner refused to sell me less than 25 (?). Got a cheesesteak which was nothing to write home about. Haven't been back since.

I vote no stars, I was with Philly B. the other night when trying to order just a few slices. The rebuttal of "the owner" is a lie. First of all you didn't do us any favors by keeping us waiting. If you don't take orders after 12:30 all you had to do was tell us that. We were never informed of our pizza being given away. We would have left if that were the case, rather than being strung along over a 6.00 pizza. I am a vegetarian so, after a half an hour wait for a small plain pizza and you offer a chicken fajita pizza, for who knows how long it's been sitting there, of course I don't want it. On top of being a vegetarian, if we wanted a chicken fajita pizza that is what we would have ordered. Second of all, I never snarl, I am a lady... that is until you threaten us with a metal rod. Above all, you weren't able to do even your normal job right, which was to make and give us the pizza we ordered within a reasonable amount of time from the estimated time but, then you went and acted like a lunatic, swearing at us while waving your metal rod in the air, and acting as if you were a male dog marking your territory, speaking of, "this being my neighborhood." You were unprofessional, irresponsible and frankly, crazed. Also, After behaving this way, you suggested we post an account of this on facebook. Close, facebook, yelp and twitter.

Ordered a burger through them and it came raw inside. I called grub hub and told them about the problem. Grubhub called Key pizza and Key pizza REFUSED to refund me for the burger. SO long story short I will never order from them again because it obvious they don't give a crap about their customers.
