Pizza
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 is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. 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.
Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Top Tomato is a place where I can order and never be disappointed. Personally, I like the San Marzano Sicilian Pie. If you are fan of a classic tomato pie - then this is your best bet. In addition, I order with Pepperoni. All of my order from here are for delivery. The delivery personnel are both friendly and prompt.

Like Marcello said, Top Tomato is the closest thing we've got to fancy-pants pizza alongside Pietro's. After having gone to NYC, Pietro's, and Zio's, I must give Top Tomato this rating. Meh on the pizza. Top Tomato also offers some burgers and pasta. The last pasta dish I had was pretty good and came in a huge portion, so I didn't mind taking it home. I think my friends and I raved about the personal pizzas because a lot of us didn't have them in a while. It's more of the novelty that we found a place that's not Subway that does personal pans. Have a Jefferson ID? You get a discount! Also, I think it's closed on Sundays.

I just got back from lunch and I got a piece of Sicilian pizza and a salad for under 8 bucks. I would have paid 20 for the pizza itself. By far the best Sicilian pizza I have had in a long time.
(4)Isaac H.
Best cheesesteak in my 16 years of life. Pizza is mediocre, fries are average. But the cheesesteak compensates, and it's only about $6.50 for the best I've had compared to less tasty ones for $7+.
(4)Brant O.
Excellent white pizza. The giant slices of mozzarella were delicious.
(4)Hilary S.
Apparently Top Tomato does a huge lunch business with lots of slices- I have only been for dinner, and it is usually pretty empty. So, I really only have experience ordering full pizzas. The margherita pizza is awesome- by far my favorite. My husband also likes the Jersey and the Buffalo Chicken pizza. Their salads are also good- we usually get a Sicilian salad, which is plenty for two people. They seem to keep kind of strange hours, closing especially early in the summer, so check before you head over.
(4)Evann G.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Chicago pizza, but there's something to be said about the crispy, delicious thin-crust variety you get on the East Coast. I'm reviewing this place in particular because that's where the bf and I had lunch today. The pizza was perfect, just the right amount of crispiness, but still "foldable" (the boy's word for describing the ideal New York-style pizza). I was a huge fan of the white pizza as well as my boyfriend's slice of white tomato bacon, but the winner by far (both in name and taste) was the Jersey Tomato Pie. It just doesn't get much more awesome than that.
(4)Jessica S.
won't waste my money ever again on this place-- gave it a few chances cuz my boyfriend likes the salads- they were ALWAYS at least an hour and a half late.. most times close to two...they had no good excuse and never forewarned it was going to take that long...completely unprofessional
(1)Natalie Z.
This is our go-to delivery place... quick delivery for being in center city and the homemade rolls for all the sandwiches is DELISH! its so light and fresh, really makes the philly cheesesteak even better. Pizza not bad either, but highly recommend any of the sandwiches!
(5)PA S.
Pizza was OK, but not the usual tastiness. Table service? Hang it up - this is a pizza joint.
(2)Aristos E.
I have no idea how the food is. The restaurant had a few customers, and the waitress promptly took our order.... and then disappeared. I started to get annoyed about 20 minutes after we had ordered our margherita pie. After 35 minutes, I went up to the counter and asked when our pizza might be ready. I have no idea what the waitress mumbled as she walked past me without looking me in the eye, but that was enough for me, so we walked out.
(1)Tobey S.
The pizza and salad at this place are amazing, they give you fresh bread and the service is fast. Not to mention the owners are really nice. I like a place that treats you like a customer and not just walking money. Not to mention they now have online ordering so i can order from work and pick it up on my lunch break super fast. Love this place, i think i order a salad from here at least once a week. Definitely worth the money.
(5)Julio A.
Fast and great service. Very good looking place too. Even though I only tried the pizza n
(4)Monica Q.
Hands down, the BEST pizza I've had as a Philly resident. I got delivery and it was worth the wait. I was tempted to scoop up the pizza box and run off with it so I could eat it without sharing. That kind of good. GREAT. DEEEELISH. Get the picture?? Oh, and I just had plain cheese pizza. Imagine what it would've been like with toppings... mmmm Also had a Caesar salad. It was fine.
(5)Jane K.
I'm in Philly. I want cheesesteak. But with a limited time schedule and a requirement for credit cards accepted we took a crapshoot and went with Top Tomato for our work lunch delivery needs via GrubHub. And it was good. Really, friggin' good. My cheesesteak hoagie came with all the fixin's and despite the lack of Paesano's oomph, I scarfed that sucker down more than happily. Delivery was 15 minutes earlier than quoted and lunch for five landed under $50. Ain't nothin' wrong with that, son.
(4)Lan H.
Come here on a weekday at noon and the pizzas look EXTRA tasty :-) My go-to pizza is the white broccoli. I am a white pizza fiend, so I look for really scrumptious ones. I am particularly hooked on the white broccoli at Top Tomato because of the generous, gorgeous ricotta that don't cost extra (for once!) :-) oh yes, and all other components, but mainly that one. And talk about convenience: my work is walking distance away! Yay! By far, my favorite place to get my white pizza fix!
(5)Di P.
I walked in a half-hour before they were supposed to close and they RUDELY shooed me out. ... You're a pizza place. It takes three minutes to reheat the pizza. ... Gimme a break. Terrible, terrible, terrible service. I mean, if you were not going to serve me, at least tell me CONGENIALLY that you are not serving any more.

Standard, good, greasy pizza. Easy delivery, too.
(3)Sarah E.
Tasty neighborhood pizza spot. A good place to go with friends.
(3)Shane D.
3 pieces of meat on our Italian Hoagie and a pinch of lettuce. No cheese and no oil and vinegar like we asked. They also put it in the bag side by side with our cheesesteak so it was hot by the time we got it delivered. No sauce for our chicken fingers either. That type of stuff adds up really quick. Interesting bread, like a pita mixed with a roll but no good with only a "hint" of meat. No good, won't order again
(2)Sammy P.
This place is better than NYPD. Only get the lunch special, 2 slices and a soda for $6, but the cheese pizza is really good.
(5)Scott B.
I ordered delivery via Seamless and it came after ~60 minutes. The delivery guy was rude and actually asked me for more "gratuity". The bag the food came in was soaking wet with oil. Hummus plate only had 5 pieces of small soggy/oily store-bought bread. The Chopped Salad was pathetic. The grilled chicken was just cubed (probably frozen) store purchased pieces. The steak was shredded roast beef. I could have thrown together a similar meal for 1/3 of the price, 1/3 of the time, and 3 times the taste. WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN!
(1)Evan H.
I wish I took a picture, but I had a cheesesteak and it was very good! My mom always says the bread makes the sandwhich. Well this place makes their own secret bread and it goes so well with their cheesesteak. I never went to Pete's and those well known cheesesteak places so it's hard to compare. But I'd say give this place a try and decide for yourself!
(5)Christopher M.
Tempted to deduct two stars. Only taking off one since the quality of the food is still on point. Tried delivery for the first time. They charge a $3 delivery fee, though my rental was only 8 blocks away. That, plus generous tip (because delivery fee implies to my apt door, not me having to drop what I'm doing to find shoes, shlep to the street, and meet the driver), brings a SMALL calzone to $25. Then this happens: Drive: Calling so you know to come down. Me: Is the building door locked? I can buzz you up. Drive: I don't know. I'm not even there yet. You have to come down. Me: .....................oooookay...... Call Top Tomato: Me: Hi. Just received delivery, and am wondering if it's normal that your drivers make the customer meet them on the street. TT: Yeah. If they can't find parking.... Me: .....................oooookay...... Obviously not worth discussing further, since the restaurant doesn't care, this driver didn't even know if there was parking as he called before he arrived, didn't have the courtesy to explain this on the phone, and the restaurant just wants a reason to charge you more, but not give you the service for which you're paying. If you're going to have to dress and head outside anyway, just do pick up or dine in. Don't bother wasting your money paying for a service which will be given in a very half-assed, honey badger manner.

I'm constantly on a diet. It is so-called the "See-Food" diet. Healthy food and I are not good friends whatsoever! At work, when we order pizzas, we always order a ton. Top Tomato serves fresh and tasty ingredients on the traditional and more creative pizzas. The usual: One Buffalo chicken, one Philadelphia steak, one vegetarian delight, and one meat Lover's (not my favorite but loved by everyone else). Each one of us can probably eat 6 slices in one sitting. That's how much everyone enjoyed the pizzas. Very much!! Another thing you don't want to miss by not ordering is the cheesesteak. Personally, I think they make the BEST cheesesteak, and I blame them for every time I crave a delicious cheesesteak. Luckily, I live close by, even though my waistline keep screaming. Pro Tip: **This is an excellent to-go/ delivery pizza, I never dined there. The customer service is a hit or miss. Improvement needed. ** In my opinion, don't get a slice of pizza. I prefer the fresh, made-to-order pizza. Don't forget this is my under-the-radar cheesesteak spot, so give it a try! Three and half Yelps
(3)John K.
Top Tomato does a decent iteration of a Sicilian pizza, but their regular tomato pies are even better. So on a recent weekend night, the GF and I decided to order some pizza off of Delivery.com . Half Manhattan / Half Buffalo Chicken [$19.49] 16'' inch, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, extra cheese Top Tomato graciously allows for half-half pies. So, on one half, I went with their Manhattan specialty, which has a nice salty hit of pepperoni and sausage, along with mushrooms and extra cheese. On the other half, their buffalo chicken provided some nice spice, with a bit of funky blue cheese that didn't overpower. The crust was well-seasoned as well. Chicken Ranch Sandwich [$5.99] The GF wasn't in the mood for pizza, so she went with their chicken ranch sandwich, which had moist, char-grilled chicken that was seasoned well and wasn't overly dressed in ranch. French Fries [$3.49] We also got a side of fries, which were house-cut, but weren't exactly crunchy - likely due to delivery. Still, they were decently seasoned.
(4)Nicole R.
I love this place! It's my second favorite pizza in Philly! (Lorenzo's Brothers will always have my heart). I can't tell you about anything else on their menu because I am so stuck on their dang pizza that I haven't tried another thing!
(5)Norm A.
Good spot for a quick bite. Good selection of slices and a beer case, as well. Limited outdoor seating. Have had plain & white slices here. Solid. Affordable.
(3)Kate F.
Don't let the mixed reviews drive you away from this hidden gem! My first experience here couldn't have been better. I am an eggplant parm connoisseur. Top Tomato's eggplant parm sandwich is, hands down, the best I have ever had. The eggplant actually tasted like eggplant - it wasn't mushy or overly breaded. There was just enough cheese and sauce, and the homemade bread was perfectly crispy. My last supper choice, for sure. Everyone else equally enjoyed their meals, which ranged from the red top and BBQ chicken pizzas to cornbeef sandwiches. Some other reviews complain about the service, but our waiter truly could not have been nicer. Can't wait to come here again!
(5)Marnie L.
It pains me to write this review because I really have loved TT and been a loyal customer - I think the pizza is good (4 -4.5 stars good!), especially the white tomato pie which is garlicky and yummy. BUT, I ordered a delivery pizza in the summer (pizza + salad) and was overcharged. I only live about 8 blocks away, but it was a lazy hangover morning, and we just wanted a meal delivered. We didn't hear the phone when the delivery guy called the first time.. by the time I realized it he was gone back to the store. I called and he agreed to bring it back over (seriously, it really is about 8 blocks away). I gave him a BIG tip for coming back, reheated and ate my pizza, and forgot about it. Later I see that there is a $95 charge on my credit card. My credit card company called the store and spoke with the owner (I was on the line too) and he maintained that I had ordered 3 pizzas, a salad, and a drink, and that the charge was justified. They refused to reverse it. I am seriously surprised that they would risk losing a loyal customer over a $95 charge. When I was on the phone with them (with the credit card company) he asked for my phone number to search for the charge and even said "oh, you have many purchases". Yeah, that's my point, I've been ordering from you for a long time. If I say I didn't order 3 pizzas, and you can see every other order I've ever made was for a single pie, why not put the customer first? Sadly, I will be taking my business elsewhere.
(2)Curtis A.
Ordered a meatball sub. Nice service, but dry tasteless meatballs, one dimensional sauce without any depth, complexity, or even fresh zing. Just muddled. Over gooped, flavorless cheese, and standard bread. Won't repeat
(1)Derek G.
Me and my wife were in Philly and decided to stop in just to see how their cheesesteaks were,absolutely delicious,there some of the best we've ever eaten,real good...
(4)N W.
Okay pizza. My co-workers rave about it but I found their pizza to be average. They do have a huge selection of options which is unusual. The best is the tomato pie. You can order by the slice or by the pizza. Good for a quick lunch!
(3)Joshua B.
Never order delivery! Took over 2 hours to arrive. When we called at the 2 hour mark to ask what the problem was, the girl on the phone told us the delivery man hadn't even left yet. She said "we're really busy" and offered no other information. When the pizza arrived it was cold with wrong toppings. To their credit, however, the full price was refunded immediately through Grubhub.com .

Thank goodness for the food because service here is a joke. I was sorry I even had a waitress because I would've much preferred to order at the register and serve myself. I actually did end up serving myself in the sense that being completely ignored by the waitress led me to get up and refill all of our drinks myself, and even while witnesses this our server could not have seemed to careless. Here is a funny story. Our waitress didn't write anything down while taking our order... Instead of the mozzarella cheese fries she tried to serve our table an order of fried mozzarella sticks (ummm...). We had to ask for refills a few times and our drinks were only refilled once so we then proceeded to get up and refill the drinks ourselves. My friend ordered a tuna hoagie and was served a turkey hoagie (wow maybe you should've considered writing these things down, I mean really??). Our server apologized for the mistakes but I don't see what the harm would've been in making a simple note or two. Also you ignored out dirty plates piling up on the table and empty glasses. I don't mind a causal pizza spot but don't ask me to tip a waitress who clearly doesn't care about service and doesn't want to do a good job. I would much rather serve myself than have to deal with a server who ruins out meal. Good thing the food here was actually good otherwise I couldn't give them 3 stars. (Skip the cheese fries they're small and soggy for $5 not worth it!)
(3)Belle S.
I got the Penne Contadina and it was delicious with just the right amount of oil. It was a relatively large serving. My boyfriend got the Chef's Salad and said it was good. The people who run this place are so friendly.
(5)Juliana K.
Pizza here is decent. Good place to go when you're in a pinch, but not the best in the area. Margarita pizza was pretty good. Hawaiian piazza was loaded and tasty. The eggplant tomato slice was so-so. There was a fried oil taste. Almost like they fried strips of eggplant and threw it on top. I only got take out and service was okay. I was not in love with the fact that the waitress who helped me went to clean some tables while my pizza was heating. Then she used her dirty hands to push my slices into a pizza box. Not a huge deal, just a bit off putting.
(3)Abbie D.
Great pizza, grinders and calzones. Our new go to pizza joint. White pizza, ricotta, spinach, tomato topped with mozzarella! YUM Chicken Calente - aka buffalo chicken cheesesteak. very tasty! Only weird experience was witnessing a delivery guy go bat shit crazy when the other delivery guy took his order... it was quite awkward... Service at the table was good.
(4)Kevin J.
Two different times I asked for the transit card discount, and the manager tried to decline me or said "just this once." Yet, they still advertise a 10% discount on PATC0's "Freedom to Save" website as they have for many years. "Just this once" is a good motto for this place, which in my opinion has gone downhill. I used to strongly enjoy their lunches, but was there after 4pm recently and it was only slim pickens left on the counter for dinner. Nothing on the counter looked like it had been made in the past hour or even two.
(2)Hope L.
Straight to the point with this place; ~ Customer Service was horrible! This is a seat yourself and the waitress will come and take your order when she feel like it kinda place. ~ They were clearly short staffed but the waitress could have at least greeted us with a smile instead of a attitude of "hurry up and decide what you want to order" She gave no suggestions on what to order and when she brought our orders to the table she literally just dropped the plates anywhere on the table and left it up to us to figure out what it was and who it belonged too! ~ I didn't try the pizza but my brother had the all meat pizza and said it was pretty good ~ I ordered a turkey wrap and it was YUCK! bread tasted like it should have been cooked longer, the turkey had no taste...the spinach was good though lol ~ They had pizza's already cooked and sitting out to display and they all just looked very uninviting. Dry, old, nasty looking. Overall I was just disappointed with this place and have no plans to return.
(1)Jen W.
Fantastic pizza and really nice wait staff. Good atmosphere. One of my favs.
(5)Ling X.
I've passed this place for years walking by the Jefferson campus but never quite made it inside - what a mistake! It looks like a fast food spot but you can sit down as well. Many options of pizzas, sandwiches, and salads, and in the end we got one of each to share. Portions were bigger than anticipated and we left full, with leftovers, and having only spent $10 each (including the tax and tip- crazy). Great option for a quick bite to eat before a show!
(4)Rose M.
Though I've been in Philly close to 5 years now, I will probably never get used to eating pizza here. New England pizza is just better: better crust, better sauce, better toppings. Plus it's cut into squares pieces instead of triangular slices, so you have crust vs. middle slice options! But Top Tomato is a good substitute. Their pizza is absolutely delicious. We stopped here a few weeks ago and got the eggplant pizza and a pizza with pepperonis and mushrooms. Perfection. My boyfriend wouldn't stop talking to me about when we would next eat the leftovers. Their steaks are fine, and their calzones are extremely tasty, and made exactly right: the dough is awesome, the cheese is hot, and they have a good bit of ricotta in them. My only complaint is that this place closes too early!
(5)Steve T.
I placed an order through Grubhub last weekend and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality I received. The sub and garlic bread were both delicious, mainly due to the bread. You can always tell when bread is freshly baked and I felt like I got a batch right out of the oven. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a late night snack too. It really hit the spot.
(4)Justin Y.
This pizza would even do well in Brooklyn, and that's hard for me to say. We have ordered on grub hub twice and both times received fast service and a damn good pizza. We had the Mediterranean pie and it was excellent. Keep up the good work.
(4)Clint W.
Despite the size of Center City Philadelphia, you will be hard-pressed to find a good slice of pizza in the area. The number of New Yorkers I hear voicing their disappointment in Philly pizza climbs daily. I hail from Wild and Wonderful West Virginia and contrary to what you may have seen on MTV's Buckwild, there are some decent pie stops in the state. Obligatory pizza critique out of the way, Top Tomato is a decent stopover in downtown Philly. The red top pizza, where the cheese is laid underneath the sauce, is their pièce de résistance and worth a visit. I personally think it's the best piece of pizza I've had in the city. But having tried a few of their other choices, I wouldn't call anything else exceptional. The guys at the main counter are nice, but I have not had an overall positive experience with the wait staff and delivery. They need a hiring overhaul because while I feel that the management are capable, some of their day-to-day workers need an attitude adjustment. Again, the pizza is worthy of a trip whenever you find yourself in Center City. With a few better-versed and better-mannered employees, I'm confident that Top Tomato would have a more loyal following.
(3)Sandahl P.
I ordered the gnocchi with white sauce instead of their normal red sauce and it was delicious! The portion was huge, enough for two lunches so I took the rest home. The atmosphere was ok. There are many tables but usually pretty full at the lunch hour. I haven't tried the pizza or sandwiches yet but it seems to be a popular place among employees of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. The service was good and the prices seem fair.
(4)Paul M.
I absolutely love this place. I just finished a slice of a spinach/bacon/tomato/chicken pizza, and it was fantastic as always. I've never had a bad pizza from them, or even a good one, they were all great. Their greatest menu item by far is their chicken parmesan sandwich; the sauce is flavorful, the sandwich isn't drowned by sauce or cheese, the chicken is always crispy and perfect, and their homemade bread is a perfect complement. I've had great customer service in the restaurant, and only ever had one issue with delivery (pizza box was a little crushed, making the cheese stick to the top), for which the manager and the delivery guy apologized when we told them. They're polite, courteous, attentive, and most importantly, make a damn good pizza.
(5)Lauren D.
This place doesn't even deserve one star. I just waited two and a half hours for a pizza before canceling my order. Nick -- the only employee working today lied to me over the phone and then admitted that my pizza had been made and sitting there for over an hour. He treated me with such disrespect I could not live with myself if I contributed to the success of this business establishment.
(1)Sarah K.
I came here with a bunch of friends for dinner. The place was pretty much empty. We ordered the meat lover's pizza pie and the spring pizza pie. I ate the meat lover's pie and it was alright. I wish I tried the other pizza because it looks good. The fries were okay, nothing to write about. I think this place is good since their menu is large and has speciality pizzas that are affordable. I would come here again and try a different pizza.
(3)Jennie R.
Stumbled across this place on our way to the Walnut theatre. I was pleasently surprised. For the area the prices were really good, our dinners were awesome. I had Fetucini alfredo with grillled chicken, my husband had the fried eggplant parm, the helpings were huge and the wine list is good. We had freindly and prompt wait staff, the owner even joked with us and sent over a few samples of other food stuffs. We have been there twice and have not been disappointed. Is it more expensive than your neighborhood pizza hole, maybe a little but they are in center city and so what if you pay 75 cents more for a better tasting and larger slice than normal. I love thier food and am planning to go back again soon. Its a relaxed atmosphere without sacrificing the attentiveness to their customers. Is it Smith and Wolenski? hell no but get the stickks out of your butts and relax, If you get delivery then what do you expect in center city traffic? k enough said, see you guys soon!!

I gave this place 2 stars instead of 1 b/c they allowed me twice to use a Living Social deal for takeout, which I really appreciated. However, they screwed up the orders both times - the first time wasn't a big deal; they just put some lettuce on a sandwich when I'd asked them not to, and there was a minor issue with another sandwich my cousin had ordered. The sandwiches were both chiekcn and were decent. However, on the second visit I ordered grilled salmon for my mom, which the menu stated came with zucchini, potatoes, and asparagus. I also ordered the chicken formaggi for me, and an apple walnut salad for both of us.. I actually ordered this in person, not by phone. When I got home with our food, I discovered that the container that was supposed to have salmon/veggies in it actually contained pasta with shrimp, scallops, & some miscellaneous veggies, but not a bit of salmon, asparagus, or potatoes. The place was about 4 1/2 blocks from my apartment, and I didn't feel like walking back, plus it was late and we were both hungry, so my mom decided to eat what was given to her. She didn't say much about her meal, so I can't attest to the quality of her meal, but my chicken was not very good - it was somewhat underdone and bland. The salad was pretty good, and they actually omitted the items I'd asked them to (olives & tomatoes). I'm still fuming even now about the screwup. I just can't believe they could give something so COMPLETELY different from what I'd ordered, especially when I was right there, live and in person, and they could have asked me any questions they wanted. It's a good thing my mom isn't allergic to shellfish. I'll probably continue to go mainly for the pizza, which is pretty good, although by no means my favorite in the city.

Maybe Top Tomato does some menu items right, but my turkey and cheese hoagie was pretty weak yesterday. They didn't have American cheese listed on their menu when we ordered online, so I had to get provolone. No big deal. But the turkey definitely wasn't high quality deli turkey and the tomatoes were a tad mealy. If you're going to have the word "tomato" in your name, at least get some tasty hothouse varieties. My sandwich was sliced at a really weird angle and not all the way through, so when I tried to pull the sandwich apart the bread ended up ripping at the wrong place. I realize this is the whiniest of all complaints, and I probably sound like a total brat, but if I'm going to order a sandwich from one place over dozens of others in this city, at least try to sell me on it. My friends seemed pretty happy with all of their selections (cheesesteaks, some type of chicken sandwich and an eggplant parm). I'll admit, there was some food envy. But I'm not sure that I'll be giving Top Tomato a second look the next time I want a sammie.

Ordered lunch from here through grubhub, and extremely disappointed. I ordered the zinger salad, and French fries. The food took over an hour and the salad was completely soggy (with dressing on the side) as were the cold fries. Never again!

Looking for a slice of pizza the size of your head, fast and just the right amount of grease this is your place! Went here to feed the hangover and it was just the right amount of cheese and grease I needed after a night of drinking too much to bounce back!

Run of the mill pizza and terrible service. I called in advance around 2pm for delivery that evening for a party. I explicitly asked if calling at 2pm would be a problem for a pizza delivery after 8pm; and was told no. At 4pm I received a call that the pizzas were at my door and no one was answering (probably because I wasn't home). I spoke with the delivery person to return the pizzas and they kindly obliged. I then called the manager; asked about the miscommunication and what can be done to rectify the situation. She was incredible rude and short with me. When I stated I would appreciate if fresh pizzas could be delivered at 8pm and not just the ones reheated from earlier that day, I was told that I would get whatever they wanted to deliver. I then stated that I would be canceling my order. The manager then stated I should never order from there again, which I am fine with.

Ate lunch here today with my friend. Our lunch break was only a little under an hour. After waiting patiently for our slices for over 30 mins, we went up to the counter to ask about what happened to our orders bc the large group behind us had all received their food and finished eating. Well, somehow although we paid for our slices our order was lost. Then when she immediately redid my order it was completely wrong, and they ran out of what my friend order. At this point we were hungry and cutting it close with time, that we just ate what we had to fill our stomachs and left. Prob will not be back. For others stay away during lunch hour as it is very hectic.

Top Tomato is right near where I work, so after trying the rest of the pizza places within the three block radius of my office, this is my main go-to spot for pizza because it's the best I've found! The slices are large and they have a lot of variety in their offerings. I love their red top pizza (sauce on top, cheese on bottom) but I've also had the Mediterranean pizza (spinach, feta, chunky tomato sauce, mozzarella) the Jersey Tomato pizza (chunky tomato sauce, mozzarella) and the plain is great too! I haven't tried a lot of the menu items besides the pizza, but I have had their italian and also tuna hoagies and they are great. Not on a traditional hoagie roll but it looks like they may bake their own rolls, which are delicious. Also, the staff is very friendly and I've been there so much they greet me and know what I order. I am not sure about the reviewer who thinks Top Tomato is more expensive than NYPD - I go to NYPD too and I'm pretty sure their slices are a tad more expensive - but not enough to really matter. It's Philly and you'll generally pay $2.50 - $3 for a plain slice and more for one with toppings wherever you go.

Top Tomato makes good pizza, but it seems a little too pricey to me. I had a 2 slices of bbq chicken (which were delicious) and a diet coke and it came out to $9... just seems high to me. I'd rate them above the NYPD around the corner, which is considerably cheaper, so I guess you get what you pay for?
(4)Rebecca S.
I can understand some of the previous reviewers in their anger toward wait times here, but what needs to be understood is that this isn't our typical pizza place. Pizzas don't start out as plain with toppings thrown on and heated through in the oven, everything here is made to order and with fresh ingredients. I don't think that any one reviewer can argue that what they order is not fresh and slight to moderately above average on the taste scale. I do think that the wait staff could be beefed up, I don't know that I've ever seen more than two employees in the kitchen, one at the register/tending to tables, and the take-out guy on the bike, certainly with more staff a lot of these negative reviews might update positively just for better service. I don't know that I've ever seen this place packed, so I'm not sure that they feel justified to pay a second waitress though it most definitely is needed at times. As for food, the menu is not your standard pizza and hoagie joint, everything on the menu is a bit more high scale. I personally never veer far from the portobello sandwich with mozzarella and roasted red peppers, or a greek pie with feta and olives. Portions are generous and because they are made to order sandwiches are always crisp, not terribly soggy, and pizzas are as Rachael Ray would say "yum-o".
(3)Debbie H.
While walking around Center City Philadelphia, I saw this place and made a mental note to try it before I left. I'm glad I stopped in. While we weren't greeted at the door(it's not that type of establishment...it's self seating), we were given menus quick enough. Our order was taken in a fair amount of time. We had the large sausage pizza and enjoyed it. The sausage was sliced which I don't normally like, but it was tasty. We got the large for $14 so it was pretty inexpensive. I would return.
(4)Sheila S.
This place is a hidden gem. From the outside and inside it looks like a typical pizza and sandwich place, so I did not have high expectations. On one recent visit when I was under a diet restriction, I asked about the fish on the menu, and the server recommended the salmon platter (not on the menu). I was pleasantly surprised--. It was cooked perfectly and was moist and very tasty, even though I suspect the fish had been frozen, Additionally, the asparagus that came with it was delicious. My dining partners at this and another visit ordered the margherita pizza. It was perfect. It wasn't the pseudo margherita pizzas you get at other places - with the crappy packed mozzarella and sauce topped with the a few slabs of fresh mozzarella and a few pieces of basil as an afterthought. This had a tasty crust, delicious pizza sauce and fresh mozzarella and basil. I can't wait to go back.
(4)Monica S.
I ordered this expecting nothing more than wet socks served over dough. Meaning, just something to fill my stomach. Much to my surprise, what came delivered to my door is now amongst my favorite pizza in this city. What? Really? Yes! Favorite pizza in this city. Were it not for the fact that they forgot to add chicken to the "Chicken Garden Salad" I'd have awarded them 5 stars. Nothing really notable about the salad except for the fact that it's not as fattening as the pizza. Order this tomato pie and you won't be sorry. Unless you're a sorry kind of person...in which case I can't help you and neither can pizza.
(4)Vanessa D.
Best pizza in Philly! Grilled chicken salad is awesome too. Most importantly I wanted to note that they have the nicest delivery guys I've ever interacted with. All whom I've met have been so friendly and polite. Once I didn't have as much cash on hand as I wanted to give as a tip. The guy's response was that he was grateful for any amount. The next time I saw him I obviously gave him double. Love this place!
(5)Michelle Y.
Ordered for delivery this past weekend. the cheese on the cheese fries was all dried up and gross. Pizza was okay. Calamari was.. not ok... soaked in grease. :( Maybe the food is better if you dine in...
(3)Stephanie M.
I order lunch here all the time! The bruschetta is delicious - perfectly seasoned. Their pizza is great. The salads are always fresh and they give you a big enough portion of it. Orders are usually ready to be picked up within 10 minutes of ordering online.
(4)W S.
Safe, you get what you pay for and wont be disappointed , friendly staff and clean
(3)Jill T.
Panino bread cheesesteaks??? Don't mind if I do!! Ultimate hangover cure! The pizza is surprisingly mediocre considering it's a pizza place, but their hoagies are absolutely fabulous! Their salads are also wonderful and enormous! I'm a big big fan!
(5)Nick S.
It's really a shame...this place could easily be one of the best pizza places in Philly if they just made a few minor adjustments. They charge for delivery, which is a big no-no for a pizza place. Every time I've ordered delivery it shows up cold anyways, so why would I want to pay for that? Their price for a basic salad is almost 8 bucks which is pretty steep. Tame that back and they probably get my business again. They need to add more toppings to their pizzas. One pepperoni on a single slice just isn't enough. Otherwise their pizza is delicious. The tall guy who works there as the cashier and occasional delivery man is extremely rude and doesn't seem to care at all. The owner is a great guy and I don't understand why he puts up with this guy giving his place a bad name. Wish they could get some of these issues together - love the food otherwise.
(2)Lin Z.
They make good pizza. And the price is reasonable. Better than NYPD pizza.
(4)Dan H.
I haven't experienced most of this menu yet, because I've found pizza near-perfection in their Pizza Margherita. The sauce is fantastically fresh tasting, the cheese isn't too heavy, and the basil explodes with flavor. The crust is thin without being crackery, but can occasionally feel a little limp. One star is missing due to the fact that about half the pizzas that I get delivered from here come somewhat mutilated. The flavor is still intact, and that's all that really matters, right? **Update- I've dropped another star due to the consistently mangled pizzas that this place allows to be delivered. For a $2 delivery fee plus a $3 tip on top of that, I end up paying $20 for a disc of dough and a pile of cheese and sauce in the corner of the box, interspersed with green folds of basil. As much as I love the sauce, I'm done being abused by this place. I just ordered my last pizza from here.
(3)Jayna B.
This place is just OK. I have had their pizza and fries several times and each time it met my needs but never exceeded them. They do not have cheez whiz for the fries. Perhaps this would make me love them. The staff is polite, but not super friendly.
(3)Attila B.
We used to ordering from here for the entire office every Friday for about a year now, but no more. The pizza quality has gone downhill a lot. Was nice knowing you TT, you really did have the best pizza at one point
(2)Alisa H.
The broccoli and ricotta pizza is outstanding! And you can't beat the price for a slice
(4)Lues L.
Excellent margarita pizza. Hawaiian pizza is also good. Service is super nice!
(5)Erica M.
Yummm their jersey tomato pie is AMAZING! The sauce was so flavorful it was unreal! I can't wait to try the margherita..mmm fresh mozzarella and basil. Price is great too! Definitely recommended!
(4)Zachary H.
Hungry + Angry = Hangry. If there's a time normal foodies come close to going Gordon Ramsey on a wait staff, it's when you combine these two moods. Judging by the reviews, Top Tomato makes more than a few people hangry, and my experience was par for the course. The waitress wasn't lazy or inattentive, just stretched thin by waiting tables, working the register, answering phones and putting together to-go orders. She might've been picking the tomatoes off the vine for how busy she was. Overall the pizza is slightly above average and the prices are fair but I would take a gander through the window to see how busy they are. If fat, drunk, and stupid are no way to go through life, hungry and angry are no way to eat through it.
(3)Percy K.
TT continues to serve a good slice of pizza. Consistency is tough in the restaurant business and I applaud them for being able to continue for the last more than 5 years.
(3)Brad P.
The tomato pie from this establishment is pretty good, kinda like Jeff Daniels' acting. Everything else I've tried there is not as good as the tomato pie.
(3)Jayla P.
Wanted a cheesteak and this place was the closest. After checking yelp I gave it a chance and I'm glad I did! The cheesesteak was very satisfying and served on a freshly made panini-like roll. It was very thin and loaded with meat. The pizza looked pretty good to! Popular lunch spot!
(4)Dane F.
Top Tomato was, at one point, my go-to delivery place. Consistent product, always a pleasant meal whether I got take-out or ordered through Grub Hub. This time, though, I'm not sure what happened. I was craving a veggie burger in the worst way, so I pulled up Top Tomato on GrubHub and ordered one, along with fries and a diet soda. An hour later, my food arrived. Not only was my total different from what GrubHub told me (it was less, or I would have complained), but my soda never came. Fries were in a soggy bag. And my veggie burger is hardly a burger. I'd describe it more like guacamole on a bun. And I get it, it's a pizza place. Vegetarian burgers are not their specialty. But they're also hard to screw up. After paying for a drink I never received and getting a veggie burger that literally fell apart before I could eat it, I can safely say I won't be ordering from here again.
(2)Matt L.
The pizza here is ok, and the prices are pretty good, but two experiences have soured me on Top Tomato. 1. One time we called out the guy at the register for using the same gloved hand to deal with money and food. 2. One time we ordered fries and asked for a side of honey mustard at the register. When they delivered the fries to our table (which we sent back because they were under cooked) they then tried to hit us up for an additional 50 cents for the honey mustard. If they were going to tack on a mustard charge, you have to do it when we're paying not when the fries show up.
(2)Lakara B.
Granted, I didn't try the pizza, but what I did have - the chicken caesar salad and the Italian hoagie - was absolutely delicious. The bread was incredibly fresh and soft & the caesar dressing just right. I usually pick up a few things while I'm downtown to hold me over for a few days, so I didn't taste the hoagie til the next day, but its roll was still as soft and fresh as the roll I'd had with the salad the previous day. There was a bit of a fuss because I ordered online at 4:06 (my receipt was time stamped) for a 5:15 pickup, and realized around 4:10, that my Groupon/Eversave/LivingSocial voucher might not be valid on a pickup order. It said "valid for eat-in only after 5pm," and I had originally read it as for eat-in it would only be valid during certain hours. Whatever, I had JUST placed the order, so it should be easy to cancel, right... well, when I called at 4:12 (of course I was looking at the clock), the owner told me that they had already made the food and he didn't want to throw it out, so I would be allowed to use my voucher. Kudos for allowing me to use the voucher, and he was really nice about it, but, like, aside from it being highly unlikely that my order was completed within 6 minutes of placing it, why the hell would you make a 5:15 order at 4:10??? The pointless lie annoys me even more than the fact that I didn't realize it made no sense until I hung up the phone.
(4)Jason M.
This is a great place to grab lunch. Pizza is always fresh and delicious, salads are nice too. You can get one of their awesome specials (2 slices and a drink, 1 slice with soup or salad) for under $10. They are always nice and service is great.
(5)Anthony W.
I forgot this place was here. I had been by, but not in. It became a curiosity as of late so I went yesterday. It's definitely a bit more upscale than your typical pizza shop (you get a bill instead of paying at the register). When I went it was nearly empty. If it was crowded I wonder if I would've been seated? I really dig the ambiance and I can see that as reason enough to try Top Tomato again. There's a variety of seating and soda fountains are on the outside which is always a plus. I got a BBQ bleu cheeseburger and it was just okay. I'm always weary of places that toast the roll without me asking... especially for a burger. I would've tried a personal pizza, but time was of the essence. I really wanted to try the steak, but I just had a steak the day before. Now, I wish I had tried it regardless. I'm going back sometime and if I dig it, this place will get 4-5 stars. We'll see...
(3)Kevin K.
I went there with a gift cert form Resterants.com and traveling from Maine I had no idea who was good or not. I had the Chicken Marcella, my Girlfriend had the Mushroom Ravioli, and her friend had pizza. The waitress was very friendly and the food came out quick which was good as a day at the art museum we were starving. There was so much food we could not finish it the toasted bread with olive oil was a real nice touch. I would love to go back there.
(5)Mike J.
We went to this place a couple of times already, then one day we had a $25 off gift thing from resturants.com Boy was that a big mistake, one of the owners (jamaican guy) was so rude and blunt about how he did not approve of it and how it would cost him money if he used it. We left without ordering after getting his diss about it. He began telling us how the other owners wanted it but not him. (great for us) We came back hoping the same man would not be there (he was) and then one of the servers said they were closed. It was 9:30pm and they closed at 10pm. We just wanted a slice. We shall never return again. The pizza is just dough with toppings you can get anywhere, so get the "Walnut St" stick out your butt. We went to NYPD pizza around the corner to get our slice.
(2)Mitchell K.
As a corporate event planning company, we order tens of thousands of dollars of food every year. We recently ordered over $300 from Top Tomato for my boyfriends surprise party with no problems, but when we decided to try it for ourselves...wow, what an unpleasant ordeal. To make a long unpleasant story short...we never did get our order (GrubHub was great, and refunded our money), but the people at Top Tomato were rude, and really unpleasant to deal with. The fact that the order was over an hour and a half late on a TUESDAY night was remarkable...and they were unresponsive and eventually refused to deliver, because it got too late. Not only will we never order from them again, but will tell all of our business associates and friends of this experience. Since Philly Food Tours also stops at Top Tomato, we will make sure they also know of the crass, unprofessional people we had to deal with. It only takes one foul mouthed order taker to cost a company thousands.
(1)Dusty M.
Seriously good boli, cheese steak and spinach salad. Delivery is also quick.
(5)Karen B.
waiting 20 minutes for a simple greek salad: a little plucked. realizing they've forgotten my order, reminding them and waiting 10 more minutes: ok, sh*t happens. getting back to my office and opening a container of chicken tenders and fries: not going back. TT owes me $8.
(1)Chrystelle B.
I really like their sicilian portobello salads. I've also ordered the garlic bread from here a few times which is also pretty good. However, I tried one of their burgers and it was by far the foulest burger I've ever taken a bite of. It smelled horrible, it was lukewarm and had some weird cheese/mayo sauce I couldn't quite decipher. From now on I'm going to be sticking to my usual.
(2)Kellie C. M.
Our beautiful and fearless leader, Carrie Estok, had to jog my sensibilities a little. I've got a new job writing for the Philadelphia Weekly. I now spend my weeks criss-crossing the city going from my place in South Jersey to my boyfriend's place in Upper Darby stopping at the paper, which is dead in the center: Center City. I've been exhausted! And OMG the Phillies! How exciting, yet exhausting was that??? But doing all this running around and meeting all these new people gives me more than plenty to Yelp about. Carrie was right to slap me on the ass... Take Top Tomato for example. Yep its a pizza place. Big deal. But don't we deserve a place to chomp on slices that's also warm and stylish, inexpensive and convenient? This is the place. In and out in much less than an hour. Good pizza. Friendly staff. Within walking distance of, well, everything in Center City (at least South of City Hall).
(3)A K.
Best pizza in my neighborhood. Better than NYPD, Zios, Pandora's, etc. I highly recommend the personal size for one person. Their eggplant pizza is outstanding. I'm also a big fan of sausage and mushroom. The sausage is actual slices of Italian sausage, not those nasty crumbly bits you get at a lot of places. Prices are reasonable. Haven't been too impressed with the rest of the menu, but for pizza near Jefferson, I don't think you can do any better. Burger's aren't bad too.
(4)Minh T.
Forget the other pizza places, I've tried them all. This is my top choice when im in the mood or not for lunch. I suggest trying a slice of margarita. Generally, they are packed, service with a smile and pizza is finger lickin good. I go atleast 2 times a week, every week.
(5)C K.
yummy pizza and lobster ravioli. Friendly waitstaff, but I feel all in all a bit overpriced.
(3)Alexandra M.
Duh duh duh, don't get a slice when you can get a personal pan for $6 people! Nothing, compares to pizza fresh out of the oven, and I'd be damned if I'd get a slice after having Top Tomato's personal sized Marinara pizza with fresh basil. Now it has been awhile since I've been, but the sauce was juicy, the tomatoes not to watery not too pasty. The cheese was flavorful, and the basil added that extra special element. Wish we had pizza like that in San Francisco. Even if we do, it ain't nearly as cheap. You all are lucky in Philadelphia. *Winks jealous eye*
(4)Kelly P.
have now tried the traditional pizza, and it's quite good. the crust is my style. not too greasy. delivery was quick.
(4)Alex K.
I've been here 3 or 4 times, my one co-worker and I are self-proclaimed "pizza junkies," so we randomly hit this place up one day to talk business. I couldn't find it, thinking it was higher in the numbers than it actually was, but stumbled upon it again after like a month, and have gone with friends and co-workers alike. THE LAYOUT: It's got a good amount of seating, decor is very cafe-ish, as if the place was some kind of fancy eatery in a past life. It is pretty fancy pants as far as pizza joints go, as Marcello points out, but its no Primavera or something super fancy. THE PIZZA: I personally think they would do well to put more pizzas by slice out behind the counter, their variety isn't very striking. I usually get some kind of pizza with meat on it, I have tried the cheesesteak pizza (because I love that kind of stuff), and it was pretty good...I wouldn't want it as a cheesesteak, but it actually does well on a slice of pizza dough. Prices are average, nothing special. THE SERVICE: I think this is how more pizza joints should operate. Anyone who has read my reviews before has probably noticed by big pet-peave with trying to call out peoples orders for them to pick up from the counter...I don't know what's worse, the obnoxious workers' screaming or the hopeless tards who can't seem to figure out that the slice of meatlovers they literally just paid for belongs to them. I only suffer that for good food, and I wouldn't suffer it for this place, so they do well to use a number system, where your food is brought to your table. This makes the environment much more relaxed and quiet. THE VERDICT: It's good pizza, the place is clean and quiet, but there really isn't anything to knock your socks off. Great place to go to every once in a while, but I don't see how someone could make this their main pizza joint.
(3)Stef A.
3.5 stars because they don't serve alcohol (and I was in dire need of a drink after a veryyyy long week). Get the margherita pie - it is delicious and fresh. Also ordered the Greek salad for an appetizer which was filled with yummy veggies. Yum.
(3)M K.
Great white pizzas, the broccoli is my favorite! This place makes a delicious pizza at a decent price. For center city, it's our favorite place to order from. Haven't tried the sandwiches, but some of the complaints (such as bad tomatoes on the sandwich...the name is more in reference to the pizzas, duh) seem petty considering this is primarily a pizza joint.
(4)Shar R.
I woke up this with morning a broken man wreaking of cheap tequila and bad decisions. After Taking a moment to gather my belongings scattered all over my friends grimy bathroom floors, I noticed that the pain from this hangover was very different. The massive throbbing headache was familiar but the aching coming from my chest was not. I closed my eyes and tried to remember the details from the night before. Then it hit me. My heart was broken by the one woman entrusted to protect it. Devastated, I started walking... Trying to make sense of it all... I was starving for answers and found it at the most inconspicuous place... Top tomato... Im not sure if it was the delicious pizza or the amazingly cute Counter girls but I left feeling better about my life. Top tomato helped heal my broken heart. It's food for lost and found souls.
(5)Linda C.
Now I feel bad for not trying the pizza, but I desparately wanted a Cheese Steak...if you want one, this is defintely NOT the place to go. It was just meat and cheese, no flavor, no special. Next time I go, I will revisit for the pizza! Anyways, the service was a little bit curt but I suspect this place to be for students at nearby Jefferson University and UPENN students further down. Thus, I didn't expect much. The price was not worth it for the quality of the MEH cheesesteak! However, the area surrounding this place is nice with tons of shops. For now a 2* but when I return later, I will revisit and re-review this place based on PIZZA (which is supposedly what Evann G. says is bombdizzle) :D
(2)M.J. G.
So P.O.'d...they were my 'go to' delivery place. Loved the traditional w/ half pepperoni//half artichoke. Tonight, I got a literally half-baked pie that was rocking the cold. You'd think that, after many orders, with @ least a 20% tip for the Driver...once in a flippin' while...he w/ be pleasant. Not.
(1)Adam P.
Pretty decent pizza. I got the tomato basil, and was reasonably impressed. The pizza seems a bit more gourmet than many of the local competitors, and is a bit more expensive to match. Was it anything to write home about? No. But, it was a decent slice of pizza.
(4)John H.
YUMMERS! The spinach calzone was extremely enjoyable and huge. A nice ricotta cheese filling inside the crisp crust of the calzone. Definitely two servings here. Seeing some of the orders going out of the kitchen, it appears they really take care of you here. A good value and tasty.
(4)Steve T.
Meh. The pizza was bland, and the crust was soggy. Doesn't hold a candle to the fare at Zio's less than a block away.
(2)Kathy D.
Love their pizza! Great variety and fresh toppings.
(4)Mark A.
This location has a GREAT lunch special. 6.99+tax for a slice of pizza (any type) plus a side salad (huge portion) and a drink. All fresh and will def go again!
(5)Amanda K.
My boyfriend and I were visiting his dad in the hospital. We asked around for a good place to eat and got several recommondations for this place. It was great. So many pizzas to choose from. We had the Manhattan (pepperoni, sausage, mushroom (fresh mushrooms not canned.) It was very substantial and tasty. One great thing that must be mentioned was the service. Alex was our server and he was awesome! Very friendly and informative. He even let us sample the famous "red top" pizza that we asked about. He made us feel very welcome. I would definitely go back the next time I'm in town because they have so many other things to choose from.
(4)Tina D.
I've never actually been to this place....but I've had their food delivered to me pretty often. I think their sauce is fantastic. It's fresh, not too sweet and is the closest I've tasted to my own homemade. Everything else tastes pretty fresh too, you can tell it's made to order. I think they would get 5 stars from me if 1. the crust weren't so flimsy on the pizza and 2. the delivery people were more friendly. One time I had a delivery guy call me, while I am clearly at work (I work retail) to ask me to come outside and get the food from his car so he wouldn't get a ticket. If you aren't willing to deliver, don't deliver. I can't leave my sales floor to come out and get my lunch, if I could I would have taken a lunch break and not paid the delivery charge. Also, every time I get pizza from them, without fail, it has been shuffled around in a car so the cheese is EVERYWHERE. Bums me out because it's pretty good. None of these things will stop me from ordering...but only on Sundays because that's when my favorite pizza place is closed.
(3)Sara C.
Not quite as good as NYPD around the corner, but still damn good. In fact, those guys have probably cut half of TT's clientele. That said, they make a most excellent upside down pizza - probably my favorite in the city.
(3)Kristine D.
I have had more than one bad visit to Top Tomato. I used to work real close to it, and kept going back because the personal pizza's are really good, but they truly lack in the hospitality and congeniality departments. They had my credit card on file here (without my consent might i add) from one time that i ordered with it. Then, a month or so later, another co-worker in a completely different office at my company, ordered $150 worth of pizza for a specail event. Even though she specified that she was using the American Express they had on file for her, they still managed to charge my Visa. When i saw the charge, i called immediately and it still took a week for the money to be placed back in my account. It was a huge hit for me at the time, and i have never regained faith in this company since. On another occasion, i placed my order at the counter and waited for 30 minutes for a personal pizza. Once i confronted the cashier about what was taking so long she said "oh...i never put it in". I was one of 3 people in the shop at the time, and was sitting at the bench where take out orderers are supposed to sit and wait for their food! On a third occasion, i ordered mozzarella sticks, and they did not send them with the order. When i called to ask where they were, the guy said " next time you order, we will give you some free". Thats all well and good, but what about TODAY, the DAY that i ordered them. They did not offer to refund me or send more out! I will never return to Top Tomato. Ever.
(1)D K.
Maybe 2.5 stars would be closer, but since it's not an option, two it is. It's not 3-star joint for me. Some coworkers love TT, so I've been a few times and it just doesn't do it for me -- the crust is a little too thick and the sauce is a little too sweet. If it were the only pizza place in the area, no problem, but when I can get slices I like better (thinner, crispier, not as sweet) and for less dough (pun intended), there's no reason for me to make this my first stop.
(2)
