Love Charlies Pizza. Grew up with it in the old neighborhood and drove down to pick up a few pies! The taste brings me right back! Sooooo good!

Same great pizza in a much nicer location, wish I knew they moved sooner

Negative reviews from failed competitors do not count. Seriously delicious pizza, very similar to Vinces on Grant Avenue the original owners were cousins. A thousand times better than the chains and even most of Phillys momandpop ...

Got to say this place is still amazing. They only serve pizza, but thats because they do it the best.

Simply great pizza. Family business for 75 years. Cant be happier for the new location. The pizza has cheese on the bottom, covered with sauce then there are small chunks of cheese on top. Great sauce, fresh ingredients. The crust is thin ...

Good pizza. Tried the Gaelic knots for the first time. We enjoyed them as well

You what the best then here you have it. The best Charlies pizza. Really really good pizza ...

I finally got to try the famous Charlie s pizza and it was worth the wait. Pizza was delicious I will be back. ...
