Wood Street

Excellent Philly; some of the worst fries ever. The bread for the Philly had a nice bite to it. The meat was cooked well. I went a little non traditional with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and provolone. Was wonderful. Fries. I get they tried to use fresh potatoes. Probably is they do not seem to know how to make French fries from fresh potatoes. At a minimum, they need to be boiled with some vinegar in salty water and twice fried. There is more to great fries but you can go from cut to single fry. You get browned/burned sugars and soggy fries. Saw several eating pizza and that looked great. So lots of good. Just skip the fries and save the $6.

Wood Street is a classy neighborhood corner pizza shop. It's not pretentious, it's clean, the pizza is great and everything else they have is too. With new weekly specials every single week, pizza and sandwiches, you can't get bored with their menu. You can tell that they're willing to experiment and take risks and for that, I commend them. They're open late and they're fairly priced. Dean, the owner, is also genuinely one of the coolest people I've ever met and is a gift to the neighborhood and community. They're also really big on their crust. If you think crust is the best part of the pizza this is the place to be. It is deliciously crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I love Wood Street Pizza and it has been my go-to pizza place for years since I moved to the neighborhood. Not only because the food is stellar, but because the people that work there make the experience that much better.

Great friendly service and staff. Really cool atmosphere. Beautiful plants all over. Neat seating arrangement. The slices are quite pricey but very delicious. The crust is unique and notably flavored. The sauce is very good. Highly recommend the grandma style slice. Or actually it's a white slice with tomatoes or something. This pizza is very very thin and the crust is quite thick. I really like how they use the high quality pepperonis. I like thin pizza, but this is really really thin. Floppy and poor undercarriage. Light on the cheese, but not greasy.

Wood Street is the definition of “you get what you pay for”, and I mean that in the most positive way possible. You can taste that they really put love into their pies. This is one of the few pizza joints in Philly where I have actually tasted the freshness and quality of the ingredients. No overwhelming grease, just really, really good flavors that come through in each bite. And these are *hearty* pizzas. I’ve had 3 pies so far from here, and you couldn’t make me pick a favorite. 🧡
