Lorenzo's & Sons

It's not that the pizza is too doughy, or that they have the rudest staff in the city, or that the place is small, tight, and cramped, or is it the fact the mirrors in the back room make you feel like you in a cheap 70's disco, or the $.25 charge for a pizza box, nor is it even the sign that says "don't even think about toppings for slices"........ No fellow pizza eaters its not even the fact that me and fellow pizza guy Carmen almost come to blows over this place......

No.... It's just that Lorenzo's and Sons on South Street is exactly what it is..... a place you can walk in at almost anytime, ....grab a huge slice of your favorite pizza (as long as its plain), ... and wolf it down on a drunk empty stomach after a long night out with the gang. I also like this place because its ours, (that is Philadelphia's). Lorenzo's falls in to the ranks of Pats and Geno's steaks, Tony Luke's, and every other so so place to eat which allows it patrons to blitz in and out of at almost any hour filling their stomachs along the way with very bad for you food.... For these reasons Lorenzo & Sons fits like a glove when you need it.

Sorry Carmen, I know that their pizza can't be rated on its merits, but I give it 6 out of 8 for what it is and for no other reason. You either like it or your hate it... and there's no in between. And I like it.........

Rating 6 out of 8 - strictly for being what it is......
