I remember those days. The best pizza ever. Loved the onion pizza.

Twice a month! It is the best! Even back in the day when I was little, walking up from my grandparents house from Hermitage on Sunday night's.
Alex's Pizza is a small family owned corner pizzaria within Roxborough. We ordered online for pick up as there isn't a dine in option. Our pizza was fresh out of the oven when we arrived. We got a large pepperoni pizza with a side of sauce. The pizza was thin crust; nice and crispy. There was a generous amount of sauce on the pie compared to a lot of other pizzarias these days. The sauce on the pie was a little sweet but was not overpowering. The pepperoni were smaller rounds but they were cut thicker to still have a nice bite. The side of sauce that we also ordered was a little saltier than how it tasted when on the pie.
Overall the pizza was delicious, just a tad greasy, but what good pizza doesn't have some grease on top of each slice. We will definitely be ordering from here again.
Blown away by how good this pizza is. Got the Arugula special and the Venezia hots special. Both were fantastic.
Finally got around to trying this place after months of getting influenced on IG… immediately vaulted into one of my favorite Philly pizzas. Thin, crispy, saucy and cheesy. Just the way pizza should be.
Putting the little pizza tables on the rail outside is a nice touch. Will try out some toppings next time.
Hands down the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life. At first I was pissed because I wasn’t a fan of how much sauce was on the pie and I thought it would make the crust soggy. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The crust is CRISP! This was actually the biggest surprise for me because I don’t even like thin crust pizza. I have now been converted (only from this place though).
I will absolutely be back! Hats off to the freaking chef!
Pizza was a little floppier than I like, but I also arrived about 15 minutes after it was likely done. Overall a great Philly style pie with the sauce swirl. Sauce was hearty, flavorful, and a little sweet. Cheese likely had some cheddar in a really good way. Edges of the crust were charred and really satisfying. An amazing neighborhood spot definitely worth trying, and I will be back to try the upside down.
I grew up with Alex's! Just ordered to take to my mom's for lunch visit. Great rendition of the old Alex's. Pretty darn close ! We really enjoyed. Got the 16 inch Original, well-done. Best of luck resurrecting a neighborhood staple. 👍 just in time for Easter 🐣
Thin crust is so good! Sauce is sweet and in a cool spiral pattern. The guys in the store were really nice and the pie was ready quickly. Glad to add a good pizzeria to the neighborhood!
I’ve lived in Manayunk for 3 years and have been looking for a great pizza place the whole time. The places I’ve tried have ranged from awful, to decent, to pretty good, to great but pricey and/or not open all the time. I took a chance and tried Alex’s tonight - so glad I did! I just got the original, and it’s great thin crust, delicious flavorful sauce, and good cheese. Not too greasy. Really excellent pizza! I think this will be my new go to place!
This gets huge WOW all the way around! Starting with the inside and outside. This was fully renovated, bright white and red signage and decor, so clean! Staff is too notch- polite, friendly, fast and courteous. The pizza was outstanding- the crust is perfect- not too thin not too thick- just right. The sauce and cheeses are blended perfectly and served piping hot- This is our new go-to pizza place in manyunk/Rox area of Philly! Thanks guys!
Working in the area I drove by this place a few times and I made a mental note to try it. Today I did and I'm really glad I did. Really good pizza! The guy at the counter was really cool and the pizza shop was spotless. I got a small plain pizza for lunch and I'm perfectly stuffed. The guy said it would be done in 15 minutes and I walked in at 12 minutes and he said I was ready to go. Overall quick tasty pizza that you can eat on your lunch break.
