Axis Pizza

The main cook in the food prep area began assembling a lunch meat sandwich WITHOUT gloves! He saw me watching, put them on, and proceeded to finish the same sandwich. A few minutes later, while engaged in an animated conversation with his co-​workers, he reached for his cell phone, which was on the shelf above the food prep area. They all looked as he scrolled to something, they laughed… then he went back to making sandwiches for the same order. HE DID NOT change his gloves after HOLDING and SCROLLING his cell phone!!!
I told the guy up front what I witnessed. He looked and saw that he was making the sandwich, and said «he has gloves on!» I told him they were the SAME gloves he had on while holding his phone. The up-​front guy didn’t say anything more, pretty much ignored me. He just continued to sweep behind the counter and move trashcans around.
After he was done cleaning, he went to «Danny», the manager, and told him what I said. Then about 5 minutes after, Danny called the cook back to speak to him… WHILE I’M STANDING THERE! I’m thinking he’s gonna come back with a vengeance. Fortunately, the other cook started preparing my sandwich with new gloves. In total, I was standing there for a full 25 minutes.
No one thanked me or acknowledged what happened. As I was walking away I turned to see them all laughing about the incident. I guess they didn’t think it was worth all my concern.
Let’s see what all my friends and you all think…

I appreciate places that are 1. Open ²⁴⁄₇ and 2. Deliver! I came into town for one night and got in late. I ordered two salads from this place and they were here in under 30 min. I got the Greek salad and the Bentley salad with additional grilled chicken. Both salads were huge! Their menu has tons of different kinds of foods to choose from which I also appreciated. Not easy to find places that will deliver great salads, especially at late hours. I kind of wish every city had this place!

I like that they have slices always ready and a nice selection. The salad bar is nice and a nice variety too. The slices are really tasty and they’re generous on the cheese — not that I care for a lot of cheese or not. The only complaint that I have is that the NEVER clean the little oven that they use to re-​heat the slices and it’s always black and burnt on the bottom of my slices.

Awesome thin crust. Nice spot
You won’t find a better pizza in Philly
Great food, salad bar, fresh fruit
Gourmet slices
Fantastic food and large dining area with TV.
This is legit 5-​star

Axis pizza is open 24 hours a day, has tons of seating, great variety and good prices. Centrally located between Penn and Drexel, Axis Pizza is definitely a drunk kid’s paradise.
After having been to Axis many times, I wanted to write a review after I witnessed a squabble there Saturday night. I was waiting for my order with my boyfriend, when a group of rude customers came in. Not only were they throwing disrespectful remarks at the staff, but they purposefully caused a huge scene. Instead of refusing to serve them and kicking the group out, (what I probably would have done) the worker’s remained cool and professional despite being heckled at their own establishment. The entire staff of Axis Pizza is to be applauded for keeping their cool in such an offensive situation. Axis Pizza, I want you to know how much all of your loyal customers appreciate you and your establishment!

Greek pizza, onion ring delivery and bottle water for a mini-​binge night after lots of work. Crust is excellent, fresh and tasty. Onion rings are my style, solid and not falling apart. Fast delivery and friendly delivery guy! Recommend.

Just as bad as every other philly pizza place.
I’m from New York, so maybe I’m a pizza snob. But the food here was unappetizing. The sauce tastes like it was from a prego jar (that’s a bad thing). The crusts are chalky. Just a disappointment.
Good sauce is so easy to make:
Roast chopped garlic in a pan with olive oil. Add 2 cans crushed tomatoes, one small can of tomato paste, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, lots of fresh basil, dash of sugar. Cook on low for 45 min, stirring frequently.
It’s easy, fresh ingredients. Axis pizza, and philly Italians step up your game and standards.

The pizza here is consistently solid. I like to come here for late nights when the other joints are closed. It feels a bit college-​y (it’s attached to a student apartment), but it’s considerably less rowdy (and the food better) than Allegro’s. The buffalo chicken pie here is worth a try.

This is the worst food I have ever had! Delivery would not come into the Hotel, and I had to walk around the corner to get our food… pizza was cold… cheese sticks and onion rings were cold…
I informed the front desk that they should NOT recommend this place for their guests… delivery should be at the front desk, not outside and around the corner from the Hotel! $ 40 dollars in he toilet! Thanks AXIS PIZZA! You fucking suck!
Dominos and Pizza Hut will be my choice next time!
Btw…this place is 11 minutes from my Hotel! No excuse for cold food!

Love the fact that they are 24 hours. Not too fond of ordering through the GrubHub app because it doesn’t accommodate specialty orders too well or factor in additional charges there might be. Their breakfast is especially delicious (the pancake platter is my favorite).

Good cheese to sauce ratio, crust is crunchy. Slices are pretty big. This is my favorite place to grab slices in University City. Do not let the location fool you, it’s pretty good. Big fan of the buffalo chicken and meat lovers.

Fresh ingredient but very undercooked. Vedgies were still raw. Ingredients were fresh and taste was good but wasn’t cooked enough, crust was cooked but all the ingredients were raw and the crust was pretty doughy.

I LOVE this pizza! Seriously don’t understand the low reviews!
Slices are huge and packed full of flavor. The base is thin and crispy, perfect ratio of sauce to cheese to topping, lots of variety, cheap, cheerful and the staff were friendly too.
I also need to mention that the mix in their pop-​dispenser was excellent. Really tasty coke zero (this is important!!)
What I gave an extra star to (and would have given it 10 more) is their limoncello cake — sweet baby Jesus it’s one of the nicest cakes I’ve ever tried in my life (and I’m a fussy home-​baker!) so much so that I went back two days in a row, for cake, for pizza and for a cheap feed on the way back to my hotel from the Children’s hospital!

Barry took us here after telling stories of his previous visit where he got a meatball sub that was 2 meals. Axis specializes in pizza, subs, pastas and they’re known for their large portions. I got a buffalo chicken cheesesteak that could have fed me plus one. The chicken cheesesteak was delicious, not super cheesy but had a ludacris amount of buffalo chicken. Barry got the chicken Alfredo pasta which he enjoyed. And Yefim ate the chicken parm off the chicken parm spaghetti which came with a side salad. Eric had a large thin slice of BBQ chicken pizza which had a neat lattice of BBQ sauce. Apparently pastas are 2 $ off on Thursdays. Side note: they did not honor the 10% Unilocal checkin deal.

Recently spoke to Dani the manager after some back and forth discussion and some stern replies we managed to work out a few kinks in the delivery process! didn’t want to knock the place for bad delivery service its something that is hard in this area due to all of the new buildings going up. So after a few mins over the phone he smoothed everything over! communication is key my friends~ now back the the pizza! its as good as it gets in university city!

The food here is offensive to people who are not intoxicated.
You will actually find yourself wishing that you were eating dinner on American Airlines overseas flight ingesting Lean Cuisine’s take on chicken.
One time I set a piece of salmon on fire. The fire department put it out. That char of salmon tasted better than Axis’ grilled chicken platter.
I was pulling an all-​nighter and ordered Axis to make me feel better. Now, I’m not only tired, I’m also worried about contracting food poisoning.
The grilled chicken platter is chicken bits from the salad bar that they warmed up in a microwave and dried out. On the side, I got a salad (which was tolerable, a high compliment for this horrible establishment).
Macaroni is hard to fuck up. Yet, Axis did the impossible and fucked up mac and cheese. It is simultaneously oozing Tostito’s-esque «cheese» and has no flavor.
But the string beans, the string beans are anus of the anus meal. These strings taste like they’ve been sitting out for a million years. They’re slightly white and totally overcooked. They cannot even be salvaged by the included ketchup packets (the highlight of the meal).
Overall: If you’re thinking about ordering Axis, you’re better off eating spoonfuls of ketchup.

If you’re looking for a late night snack/​pizza joint, look no further! Axis is the perfect place to stop by after a night of going out or hanging out. Being one of the very few restaurants that open late nearby Penn’s campus, Axis is a solid choice. Even better, they open AND deliver ²⁴⁄₇.
However, don’t expect much from the quality of their food. My friends and I ordered a medium pizza and an order of mozzarella sticks. The pizza was bland and all the topping fells off after taking the slice. The mozzarella sticks were hard and cheese definitely did not melt in your mouth as you would expect them to.
Despite this, Axis is such a great option, or probably the only option that actually delivers late nights! But due to it’s convenient location within the UCity area, I’ll give it another try!

OPEN AND DELIVERS ²⁴⁄₇.
Seriously, a college student’s dream. Sure there are places around that are open ²⁴⁄₇ but how many places around UC delivers at all hours of the day? The food isn’t that great, but it tastes amazing when it’s 4:30 in the morning and all you really want is a slice of pizza.

Yuck yuck yuck. I finally decided to give Axis pizza a try since it’s practically on my campus. The space itself is really big and I guess a good place to quietly do your work on your laptop.
The slices are huge for the amount you pay. A full pie is around 13 dollars. With the only positive being that, the pizza was bland and tasteless. Came out cold as well. (I suspect we were given the slices on display which were probably old and cold by now) Ordered half half of pepperoni sausages and buffalo
chicken.
The pepperoni which you would expect to be salty was flavorless. So strange!!’ The consistency of the pizza doe was again… Flavorless. Nothing good to say about the buffalo chicken either. The chicken chunks were huge but absolutely flavorless. Not enough sauce on the pizza as well.
The only thing that had flavor was the orange soda I had at the fountain stand. So sad, won’t be coming back here.

This place automatically deserves a 3+ star for opening AND DELIVERING ²⁴⁄₇.
This is a unique place; they serve everything from dinner food (pizza, burgers, steaks, wings, etc) to breakfast food (breakfast sandwiches, omelets, toast, etc.) I live in the university area and usually the latest open restaurants are pizza shops that close around 2am, so to have a joint open all night long is a jewel.
We actually ordered two omelets in the morning because we were having a lazy morning, and it turned out to be a great first experience. The omelets are very customizable, and they are quite large. It came with a side of toast, and a choice of fruit, home fries, or french fries (??). It was around $ 6 – 7 The delivery guy appeared to be college age and was very friendly to be delivering food in the morning when everyone else was just waking up.
Definitely a place worth trying especially if you’re a student who’s got a long night ahead of you.
