Review from Jessica M.

Brothers has been a part of my Drexel Hill life since I was a youngster - dating back to when they were in the strip across the street. Part hangout/part takeout - they fit the bill for me.
They and I have both since moved but I was lucky enough to enjoy a delicious pizza last weekend and I was reminded of why I love them so much. Unlike many of their local counterparts - they actually make good pizza. Its not imitation, gross crust-ed stuff, its the real deal, grease drippings and all.
On this visit we had a pepperoni pizza and a roast beef special to go but I was intrigued by the soups and chili in the freezer case to take to-go. I would definitely try one of those next time I am in the area to take home with me. Over the years I have had some of the usual pizza shop items here - cheese steaks, chicken cheese steaks, chicken fingers, fries, etc. and everything has been tasty and definitely a notch above the other contenders in the area.
As others have mentioned - Brothers has a nice beer selection and you can also dine in. I have never had reason to eat in and probably won't be hanging out there as I did in my younger years but it looks nice enough and the people dining in on my last visit seemed happy and well fed.
In the hunt for good local pizza when I am visiting my family, I often overlook this place - thanks for the reminder, Brother! -

The pepperoni pizza is acceptable in every way. It wasn't brick oven, there wasn't anything fancy at all. It was hot when they said I should pick it up. It tasted like pepperoni pizza. Kinda expensive for what it was. We also had boneless chicken tenders that were very below average, the pizza though was as advertised.

A nice spot in Drexel Hill. We ordered the margherita pizza. The crust was excellent--thin, crispy. The mozzarella and basil were fresh, and the sauce was also clearly homemade and tasty, if a couple dashes too salty for my salt-free palate (no Lot's wife me). We also ordered a salad, and instead of the usual "cheesesteak salad" most pizza places give you (ie, whatever shredded greenery they put on their hoagies gets dumped into a bowl and named "salad") this was a bona fide salad, with radishes, cucumbers, red cabbage, tomatoes, and torn chunks of lettuce.
The owner, a very friendly person, worked the counter and she was happy to explain the ingredients, cooking process, etc. Along with their dining/carryout menu, they have a great carryout beer selection (their order of Oktoberfest and Punkn had just arrived), as well as some good-looking homemade Italian soups (pasta e faglioli, Italian meatball; spinach and navy bean).
Customers in the place were big fans, letting me know how great the food was and what to try. They have a parking lot (always a plus) and a nice area for dining in, though we chose carryout. -

I am a huge pizza fan. Went to this place for 2 slices, never tasted pizza like this in my life. Never again! The pizza was VERY salty, it tasted like they literally sprinkled salt on my slices. I am assuming it was the sauce but bottom line it was awful.
Sorry I would not recommend this place. -

I've been to Brother's a ton of times growing up- revisited today on the way to my mom's and although the food was pretty good- the service was just OK. Our waitress made eye contact with us several times but she was obviously overwhelmed with the three other tables in the WHOLE PLACE- the owner lady (husband and wife duo) was helping to seat and bus tables.
They have a decent beer selection, allowing for mix and match six packs and offer all of the standard Italian fare.
Of course we'll go back but perhaps we'll stick to take out. -

Best family place in Drexel Hill to get lunch or dinner. Best pizza in Delaware county...wonderful owners who are on site every night to make sure your meal is prepared correctly.

Mozzarella has mildew smell. I've had the mozz fries, pizza slice, and calzone; they all have that smell. It's like they clean the cheese tub with a dirty washcloth. Not recommended.

Love this place. Always good service and good food. The best buffalo chicken pizza! Cannoli are the best I've ever had. Love the family atmosphere.

Tried this place again. The margherita pizza wasn't worthy of name -- virtually no basil.

In a town that's drowning in pizza joints, Brothers stands out.

I have been going to Brother's Pizza for as long as I can remember. A local "Mom & Pop" pizzeria, the food is solid. The pizza is fresh and tasty. They use nice chunky tomato sauce and a good sauce to cheese ratio (hard to find!). Although most of their business comes from take out pizza, (especially on Fridays), they have pretty darn good fish entrees. Brothers also has my favorite comfort food meal: Chicken Parm platter. Yum. The owners, Vincent and Antoinette are almost always there with a smile to ask about your family or why you haven't been in recently. The staff are mostly locals; a lot of high schoolers end up working here at some point. Also, for a small pizza place, their beer selection is pretty darn good when you need a 6 pack

The pizza was really good and the service was extremely fast and friendly.
I just got take-out but the employees are friendly locals and very polite.
The pizza was a little greasy for my tastes, but it wasn't bad. Best pizza place I have found so far in the area for sure. -

Food is not bad but not great either. A family neighborhood joint that is slowly trying to establish itself as more of a bistro type place. Pizza is OK and better than nearby Jano's but still not something to write home about. Service is quick and generally friendly.

Brothers is a nice clean restaurant combining typical take-out fare with some Italian specialties. The food is good, but not necessarily the best in town. It is a family-friendly environment (crayon packs for the kids, food comes quickly), and has a parking lot as well as seasonal outdoor seating. Eat-in or take-out, but no delivery as of this writing.
