This. We have so many good pizza places and you wanna waste your time on this garbage.

Seriously! If this is the one at Temple, there’s 3 solid pizza places that are leagues better than Blaze: Philly Style, Maxi’s, and Diamond Pizza.

All local places that blow Blaze outta the water

Eta: forgot to add Down North Pizza (detroit style)

I feel like this should be true, but I've lived in philly for over 10 years and I can't find a good one that delivers to fishtown. I don't order pizza like ever, but always disappointed when I do.

Recommendations?

Center city is a pizza desert. I will gladly die on this hill.

Fancy pizza doesn’t count btw.

Giovanni's at 15th and Chestnut or Zio's at 13th and Sansom, both excellent options in CC

I'll have to check Giovanni's out. They're really close.

I’ll check out zios. Giovanni’s was a bit of a letdown.

I mean they're both just regular pizza joints that make a pretty good pie I wouldn't go in with crazy expectations or anything it's not gonna blow your mind

Came here to say Zio’s. They’re next to my office and great.

Joe's on 16th near Sansom is good. I mean nothing special but solid everyday pizza. Also is Dolce Carini still around? They were always good but I don't get into center city as much as I used to anymore, so I don't know if they still are.

What style are you looking for?

You might have to pay a premium but Slice will allow you to order from places slightly further.

It’s been a few years since my son lived in that area, but we liked Pizza Brain. It was close enough to his place that we could walk, and the Pizza Museum that’s housed within the shop is an interesting way to pass the time while you wait for your pizza (but they do deliver, since that’s what you asked). Then we’d head next door for some Little Baby’s Ice Cream.

Like I said, it’s been a while since I’ve been there, so I can’t say if they’re still good, but it might be worth checking it out.

RIP Little Baby’s Ice Cream.
