    Okay... after giving Accu another shot out of the blue I have to give these guys a hand for turning their act around. Our pizza wasn't overdone and wasn't lacking toppings like before. 2 MAJOR tun-offs. Accu Pizza is redeemed! The pizza we got was the best it has been in the past few years. The flavor was right on! It was more like the Accu we remember. Pizza is what they do and that's what I care about. I can't speak to the other things I've been disappointed with (BLT club, caesar salad, cheesesteak) in the past couple years, but if they keep this up I may try those things again in time. But now that the pizza is back to where it was I don't want to miss out.

    I know the place has undergone some changes as of late. I don't know if that includes new management and new staff though. Finally, you can sit down and have a meal now if I'm not mistaken. Also, I think the rude counter clerk is long gone. I tip my hat to Accu.

    Was this review …?

    Do you like grease?!

    AWESOME. Then go to Accu Pizza in West Philly where grease seems as though it comes as a topping. Never in my life have I experinced the kind of gastric terror that Accu Pizza has given me every single time I have eaten anything from there. The pizza is so insanely greasy that there is literally a thick layer of it coating the top of any pizza that you order. Not to mention that the employees and delivery people are constantly rude. If you want to be sickened, irritated, and actually proclaim, "This pizza is HORRIBLE!" for the first time in your life, order from Accu Pizza.

    This review is dedicated to the pizza place that delivered to our West Philly home the latest. When it comes to taking care of that food itch during a late night game of pool it isn't about quality of food, it's about feeding the beast! and for this Accu Pizza delivers (literally).

    Low on quality. Big on Quantity. And free pudding once they start to remember you.

    The next day feelings will not be commented on!

    I've been getting food from this place for my entire 24 years. But I have to admit this place seems to be going downhill. I'll list why:

    1. The staff is horrible. I dread calling in because over-weaved, fake nailed bitches don't know how to communicate over the phone.

    2. The prices have skyrocketed over the last 5 years.

    3. Their pizza, which at one point was my absolute favorite, now has become habitually hit or miss. It used to always be a hit, hakuna mattata. Now I cross my fingers whenever I place my order.

    4. I've come to realize their other foods leave much to be desired. Their strombolis aren't seasoned. Their wings are weak. Their salads are for people who are meat-lovers pretending to be healthy. The same thing goes for their wraps. Their pasta is comparable to  a bowl of Barilla noodles with Ragu sauce without salt and pepper. Accu Pizza does two things right: Pizza and, well, they remember your address according to your phone number if you've called before....Ha, I do like their cheesesteaks though.

    5. Several times I've been disappointed with getting room temp food with delivery.

    6. They often forget to deliver EVERYTHING on your order. Be cautious when ordering sides.

    I used to love this place. Now it's become very expensive for a West Phil pizzeria that sometimes isn't worth to treat yourself to. I feel this place nicking at my heart, chipping away at the way I used to remember it.

    Oddly enough, this review is about barbecue not pizza. Haven't tried the pizza at Accu Pizza, but I will give them a thumbs-up for the BBQ.

    I love authentic BBQ. It's about the only thing I eat when in Kansas City or North Carolina -- which is not often enough, come to think of it. I'm not an expert but I can tell great from good from bad with BBQ.

    The Accu BBQ lunch platter fell squarely in the good camp. The ribs and cornbread were solid. Sauce was tangy and thick. My tastebuds did a little dance, even though it was nowhere close to Jack Stack or Gates' in KC.

    Now, the service came with a bit of attitude. And the prices were just a touch more than you'd expect for the meal. But I'll order from them again sometime. Maybe I'll even try the pizza ...

    Over the last year, I think I've tried at least something from every section of Accu's fairly extensive delivery menu.  I can't say that the service is the best, or that the food is medal-winning fare... however, I can say that my boyfriend and I continue to order from Accu, and that's not going to stop.  Where else in can I call to get a chicken cheese steak, a chef salad, and some carrot cake delivered at 11 pm on a Saturday?

    Some of the things on the menu seem to be hit-or-miss... I was very unimpressed with the strawberry shortcake, but the carrot cake (both baked by Evan's) was actually VERY good.  After a try once with the pasta, I've decided that delivery pasta is a no-go.  But if I want a delivery cheese steak, Accu's actually pretty good.  I've also had good luck with their salads.  The pizza's okay, but most of the time we end up going for other stuff off of their menu.  They definitely DO remember you if you become a repeat customer, and the service seems to reflect it.

    I just ordered food online through Grub Hub.  They didn't have the shake flavor I wanted, so they called right away and offered an alternative.

    The driver arrived 40 minutes ahead of schedule and was very courteous.  Food was delicious!  I got a steak sandwich and a butter pecan shake.  The sandwich was large and hot, with all the fixins I'd requested.  The shake was totally creamy and cold.  I would definitely order from here again!

    Probably the best pizza in West Philly... yes, service sucks... but don't all pizzerias?

    Their food is a heart attacks wrapped up in a lovely aluminum container but it's not like you're eating this stuff on a daily basis. I mean come on, when you get pizza it's because you want to splurge and not watch your waist line for once... If you're looking for non-greasy food from a pizza shop, good luck finding that in Philly!

    They're delivery is quite decent in speed and make sure they have your order down right! (in response to Stephen's post) that's one thing I've learned... I refuse to call back if they messed something up because you're just wasting your time. The girls answering the phones are pretty rude, I wish there was a way to speak to a manager without getting a 'tude from the girls.

    P.S. leftover pizza from this place is great. everything else needs to be eaten the day of. oh, don't get pasta dishes... they're terrible.

    I frequent Accu Pizza only because it's the only pizza place within reach. Not the best pizza in the world, but certainly not bad and perhaps even a little better than just good.

    Normally, their service is good. Once we called and the lady on the other line sounded like she was about to fall asleep. It was hard trying to understand her. Otherwise, I'd say Accu Pizza makes fairly good quality food for a great price with a pretty good staff.

    Poor service and very rude. They messed up my order, said it was my fault and wouldn't correct their mistake. That's after I was hung up on already. The food is not good enough to make up for the bad service!
