We ordered from Best House for lunch at work last week. The general consensus was that the pizza was below average. The toppings were sparse and put on as a second-thought. The sauce was bland, the crust was mundane, and the pie was greasy (due to low quality cheese).

No fingernails were found, which may have been because we were too hungry to really inspect the pies thoroughly.

Fingernail alert! repeat. FINGERNAIL ALERT!!

My cousin found and nearly digested a cuticle that was in his slice of buffalo chicken pizza!  -barf-

sorry about that!

go here for the beer because they have the best variety in West Philly. And you can even do mix a six like they offer at The Foodery. I just can't recommend the food under good conscience.

4 stars for the beer, -2 stars for the food. 2 stars total.

Well, the fingernail alert certainly has me running for the hills in terms of consuming any of their food.

However, the half cans of Sparks they sold the last time I was there were AMAZING, so I'll throw up three stars just for that.

Average pizza. However, if you get their "combo" deals, it works out alright. For example, one is if you get 2 slices, you get a third free. The best thing about the Best House is that it's open late, has a great drink selection (especially for the neighborhood), and is run by friendly people. Try something not on their menu when you're there.. it's called a "zipolee." Sort of like fried sweet bread dough topped off with powered sugar. The Best House isn't the best in Ucity (Allegro's is) but it gets the job done.

Best House Pizzeria is probably the closest thing to good pizza your going to get in the West Philly area. Every other place I've tried around here is repulsive, BHP makes good thin crust pies and pretty good specialty slices. Their buffalo chicken slice is great and the bbq slice is up there too, their cheese steaks are also on the money if you aren't feeling like pizza.  
The best part about this place though is their beer takeout. You can buy mixed six-packs, and for a hole in the wall pizza joint, they have a ridicules selection of micro brewed beers, as well as the standard Pabst pounders and 40s.    
The only drawback (for some) is that  there's usually at least one or two down-on-their-luckers' chilling out in the booths drinking a 40 and watching tv. Most of them are nice, but once in a while a sloppy one will try to spark a slurring conversation which can get a little uncomfortable if you aren't used to those kinda situations.

In Manhattan or N. Jersey, this place might not survive, but in West Philly, its tops.
