Do you use olive oil? My wife is allergic to it. Yes, I only eat good when she's out of town.

Yes, they do use olive oil. Even the peppers are soaked in olive oil. Sooooo good!!!

What’s wrong with the phone number here

You must plan early for their pie

Takeout? Still reserve days ahead ?

i was told you can’t take out

How much is a regular pie?

Yes 12 plus 1 topping 17

How do you go about reserving the room for a small party for a birthday

You have to call & reserve your dough early, buy 2 O'clock on Fri & Sat before they sell out. That's when you make your reservations.

Can you make reservations to EAT IN?

You have to call at least one day in advance. They are closed Monday and Tuesday.

is there a parking lot?

Down the block. It is about a block away. Free, corner of Thompson and Somerset. Enjoy.

Can I use my debit card to pay

No, Tac's is cash only!

How much is a cheese pie ?

I can't remember either but under $16.00 I think. But very worth it.

How far in advance do you put in the order ,

When we order say for Friday or Saturday we call on Thursday around lunch and they will ask ,how many and not what kind do you want ,just how many. A word to the wise before you add salt or garlic please take a bite first and then go from there. This place has been around since I was a kid and I was born in the 40s so they don't try and reinvent the wheel it's just great pie.

So far the best pizza I've had in Philly. Be sure to call ahead and reserve your dough. The white pie with spinach is almost pizza perfected.

Amazing! And very exclusive. Best house made sauce Ive ever had. Pizza is baked in a 18ft deep brick gas oven. Must call in advance to 'reserve' a pie. Very well made and delicious pizza. Highly recommend!!

Thin crust, crisp, the absolute best pizza. Their spinach tomato pizza no one else can compare! There are many places that make really good pizza; Tacconelli's is my tried and true favorite. We do frequent Tacconellis's Pizza and thought it would be a good idea to let you know that you have to call them and reserve your dough. If your new to Philadelphia or visiting, Tacconelli's should definitely be on your list of places to visit. In over 20 years, I have to say their pizza still rates number 1 with us.

Great pizza and a great staff. While the pizza is very good and one of the best in the area I would highly recommend going to the Tacconelli’s in Maple Shade. Same style pizza but better and has a larger menu.

Best Pizza in Philly. Make sure you call for a reservation because they don't take walk ins. You can bring you own appetizers and alcohol. The chef is a Wizard. Easy to see right off of Somerset Street servicing Philadelphia. Parking on the street is available but it fills up fast especially on the weekends and at night. There is a parking lot near by. CASH ONLY!!!!!!!

Hands down, no question... Best pizza in the city. They know what they're doing. Call early to reserve your dough. Have them par cook it, if you are bringing it home. And for the love of God, make sure you get to side of peppers. Holy Grail type place.

Tacconelli's is one of my favorite pizza restaurants. I move to the Oregon coast about 10 years ago could not find good pizza good so I actually open my own pizza shop Otis Pizzeria on a small little coastal towns in Oregon called Otis the owners left me in the kitchen and see how their pizzas are made just a great place bring your own booze save a little money.

Fantastic. We ordered a white pie with spinach and half tomato, and a Margherita pie. The crust was crispy and well done in a good way, the balance of their nice sauce and toppings and cheese was great. I’m not the hugest fan of super well done crust, but this was done right. Service was great. Atmosphere is perfect American pizza parlor. BYOB. Cash only with a $2 fee ATM on site. Would definitely go out of my way to come back.

Good, not great, Philadelphia pizza institution. Cash only and you need to call ahead your pizza reservation. We had no issues getting an early-ish reservation same-day midweek. Pizza is very saucy. Crust is thin and crispy. The pizza was enjoyable but did not live up to the the hype. Just a word of caution the neighborhood was eerily desolate when we visited.

We've been dining in all week and decided to order some take out since the weather was fabulous today. We decided on Taconelli's since we've exhausted all of our close proximity venues. We ordered ahead and our sausage topped pie was ready and still warm in the 20 minutes that it took us to arrive. We didn't delay and drove straight in eating our pizza curbside in the car! You get everything that you'd expect for a place with such a legendary long standing reputation: Crispy thin crust. A very balanced sauce, not too sour or sweet but with just enough moisture to complement the pie. The sauce really made an impression on me. Likewise with the cheese and sausage (our topping of choice). Quality with pull but just enough to know that its there and not greasy at all. $20 is more than what you'd pay elsewhere but honestly it doesn't disappoint. Definitely a treat and worth a try if you're in the neighborhood.

Super pretentious pizza place that makes you call days ahead for a reservation and is too good to take your credit card (cash only), but with days notice that we were coming it still took them an hour and a half to get out a single pizza. Went with a group including our kids for my wife's birthday and after the first pizza, the rest trickled out over another half hour. No explanation or updates during that wait from anyone that worked there. Two stars at least because the pizza wasn't bad (one pie was burnt though after waiting all that time.) They also took our sodas off the bill at the end for the wait.

Did not disappoint - 100% worth the hype. Service was perfect - our waitress was attentive and friendly. Just be prepared to wait about an hour (bring beers!) Got the white pizza with spinach and tomatoes and a plain pie with pepperoni and both were great. So thin, crisp and chewy at the same time. We will be back!

11 adults (6 guys, 5 girls) 7 children under the age of 5 (only 4 eating pizza) 10 pizzas...only 3 slices survived!!! Such a great atmosphere and experience that is worth every penny. The pizza tally was 2 house specials, 2 plain margherita, 2 sausage and sweet pepper, 1 white proscuitto & basil, 1 pepperoni & mush, 1 pepperoni & onion, and 1 sausage and onion. I havent been back to the area in a few years so it was great for catch up with good friends and it's great this place is BYOB! The thin crunch crust pairs great with high quality toppings and wonderful sweet but not too sweet red sauce. Very unique pizza and a must for pizza lovers.

As an Italian, this place is easily the best in my opinion (the best opinion). Anytime I eat this pizza I laugh at how good it is. My favorite pie of all time goes to Taconellis, the lady on the phone is always so nice and actually very helpful. Anyone who has given this place a bad review I honestly want to meet them just to see what's wrong with them, they probably eat domino's pizza instead.. rookies. I've had the plain, pepperoni, and margherita pizza so far but I've heard that their special is amazing, I'll try that next. Thank you Tacconellis for always consistently making the best pizza, god bless! -Anthony

Loved everything about this place. Service was second to none. Felt like family was taking care of us. We enjoyed the old school feel of the dining room too. The pizza was ridiculously good. Cooked perfect. Plain cheese was the best option IMO. The sauce was some of the best I've ever had. Also enjoyed mush and sausage. Had a white pie and a pepperoni pie which were all delicious. Will definitely be going back! Cheers.

One of the best pizzas in the Philadelphia area. Make sure you order your pizza shells ahead of time because they only make what they need. And it might sound odd, but they're based in two row homes. It doesn't look like your average pizza place, on the outside. But, on the inside it's so cozy and everyone is really nice. The pizza is paper thin and goes quickly, so if you're one to eat a lot, I would get more than normal.

One of my favorites for pizza in Philly! I think it's gotten to the point where some people have raised the bar so high for them because of having to reserve dough but for me it will never change. I love thin crust and a cracker crunch the specialty pizza is out of this world and the homemade sausage that cooks on top of the pizza is to die for. If you're going to go I recommend going with at least four six people so that you can order multiple pies and try everything.

We picked up a large margarita pizza from Tacconelli's for dinner this evening, and it was---in my humble opinion--some of the BEST pizza we have ever had!! We had a long drive home, so by the time we sat down to eat, the pizza had gotten cold. We reheated it, and..lt. Was. AMAZING!!!!😉 Crisp crust, deliciously sweet and savory tomato sauce with flavorful mozzarella cheese. I can only imagine how wonderful this delicious pie would have been if eaten straight out of the oven! We shall return!❤️

Some of the best pizza in Philadelphia. Call ahead and reserve your dough though. Also, BYOB. The restaurant has a homey-family feel to it which is nice. This isn't a slice place though so if you go, you order your dough (how many pies do you want) ahead of time. When you get there you can choose what type of pizza (toppings) you want. I usually go with 6-7 old HS buddies around Thanksgiving. Roughly 1 pie per person with us but we eat a lot so estimate according to your groups hunger based needs.
