20 reviews for Fairmount Pizza and Grill
Cheap and greasy! And always so nice when I call to order. Any alterations to my order that I want, they provide. The delivery is an extra $1.
I love their pizzas (BBQ chicken and then I add pineapple) and the salads are pretty good (remember to ask for darker greens and they'll give em).
One of my secret joys is the flute quesadillas.

I've lived in the neighborhood for over 2 years and for 2 years have endured the gigantic mess that this establishment makes of 19th street.
From some disgusting liquid garbage run-off that trails onto the sidewalk on 19th street from their trash area out back to the constant stream of litter all over the street that comes from this place--I have to say Fairmount Pizza may serve mediocre to OK pizza, but are straight-up awful and inconsiderate residents of the area.
I will be boycotting this establishment until they figure out their trash and litter management problems. Why eat food from a place that can't keep their establishment's surroundings clean?
the pizza isn't very good... it's not horrible... but it's not good either... if anything it's just convenient for anyone who lives in the area... i stopped going after a while when I called in an order and they said the girl over the phone forgot to place it....
the delivery people can be rude as all hell (not all but some)... they delivered my pizza to the wrong house (blocks and blocks away) and had the nerve to get an attitude with me over the phone...
it may just be me, but i'd leave it alone...
Either Sara is thinking of somewhere else, or she hasn't realized for over two years now that Fairmount is located on 20th Street and NOT 19th. Regardless, pizza is good, sandwiches I have tried are good, and the fries are awesome. Wraps suck. Delivery and pickup are fast, and I've never had any problems. I would recommend giving it a try.
It is becoming increasingly difficult for me to drive by here without stopping for a slice of bbq chicken pizza. However I suggest you steer clear of the tuna melt - its open face and I believe they use swiss cheese and its just all wrong.
I love the pizza here. I got a tomato pie which wasn't too bad. It was a bit too spicy for me but their other pizzas are really good. My hubby loves their white pizza--very aromatic with garlic. Quick delivery.

I really cannot stand Fairmount Pizza. I have given them enough chances and even though it is very close to my apartment, I will wait longer to get delivery elsewhere.
I have had the pizza several times, it is too greasy and bland for me. Too much cheese, the crust sucks, and they use those nasty canned mushrooms that no human being should ever have to eat outside of a bomb shelter.
I also had the worst cheesesteak of my life here. The meat tasted like it had been cooled and reheated multiple times. It was chewy and had hardly any cheese on it. And they forgot the onions. City View's steaks are masterpieces compared to Fairmount Pizza.

I order from fairmount a lot but that says more about my laziness than it does about their food. The food here can be great pizza joint food or it can be awfull I think it all depends on who's cooking. Overall a decent joint with good variety just not consistent.
Overall, it's a decent place. the service leaves something to be desired. I've walked in there numerous times, and had my order forgotten about. The staff's attitude is terribly.
The pizza is good, but with offerings like the Illuminaire up the street, you can do better.

This review is for the gyro platter. That was some good grub. It comes with fries, greek salad and of course the gyro. What else can I say? it certainly met my expectations. So next time I'm in the hood I'll try the pizza, sucks to be 3000 miles away.

These people really need to get a real pizza oven. As much as I despise conveyor-belt pizza, though, theirs isn't the most offensive I've had. They put on too much cheese, which makes a pool of grease form in the center of the pie. Gross. And the crust really sucks, even more so than most Philly pizzerias'. Did I mention that Philly pizza sucks? However, their saving grace is their turkey breast hoagie. They make it with cutlets of breast instead of lunch meat, and it's pretty delicious. Now that I've discovered Luigi's Pizza Fresca, though, and the Museum Market for hoagies, I will never order from Fairmount again. Hallelujah.

We have ordered from here an embarrassing number of times. Never had anything really sub par and I think we've tried just about everything on the menus. We're big fans of the veggie grinder, their pizza with roasted rd pepper topping gyro platter, salads. Good, dependable fast deliver rain or shine.
Totally average. Not clean, not dirty.
Not good, not bad.
Not tasty, not yucky.
Just
Plain
MEH.
2.5 stars.
I ordered pizza here tonight and it was a mixed experience. On the one hand, I liked being able to get slices of different flavored pizza. The BBQ sauce on the BBQ chicken pizza was pretty good. The chicken itself had some spices without being overly obnoxious. The Buffalo chicken slice tasted somewhat like the wings of the same name, though not quite as tangy as I expected. Both pieces of pizza were pretty greasy, which I wasn't thrilled about. The cheese wasn't anything to write home about, but it wasn't bad either.
I was able to get a fountain drink instead of getting ripped off paying out the ass for a 20oz bottle of soda like most of the other establishments charge around here.
This was an OK place in all. I might go back if I was really hungry and I didn't feel like going to Pete's or City View.
Oh yeah, my mom isn't greasy.

Wish I could tell you why this place is always jumping but alas, I can't find ANYTHING. Oh wait, location. That's it.
They're located a few blocks from where I work so I've ordered a handful of times. Breakfast is terrible. Runny scramby eggs one time, burnt the next, homefries that are barely cooked, every time. Pizza is abysmal, but finding good pizza in Philly is a crapshoot. Subs/steaks are OK, but I have to recommend City View sammiches over Fairmount.
Someone should teach these guys how to cook. It's a waste of prime real estate.

One of my best friends lives around the corner from here and the majority of my meals here have not been sober meals. Late night cheesesteaks and slices after far too many whiskeys at a nearby bar or mid-morning egg sandwiches trying to thwart a hangover the next day - they're open late at night and they open early in the morning. Yum! For those reasons, Fairmount gets 5 stars!
But I had a sober slice the other day. I know, I know, what am I doing sober on the east coast - particularly in Philly?? But sometimes it happens. My friend even commented that she's never seen the pizza that greasy. But it was still good. And cheap. And convenient. Kind of like Philly itself. And much better than any slice you'll find in San Francisco, I'll tell you that much for free.

I'm a philly girl, and I like my pizza greasy, medium thick and cheesy! The Pizza at Fairmount is just that! The strombolis are good, the Turkey Burgers are like homemade, and huge, and Delish! The Turkey hoagies can be made with real turkey breast, not lunchmeat, which makes the sandwich taste great! Hot wings are good too! I have sent everybody I know to Fairmount, and they are all fans! Me and my cousin would drive from West Philly and South Philly respectively to go to Fairmount! Now that I live in Baltimore, every time I come home I get a slice of pizza and a turkey burger or turkey hoagie! Best in the city to me and mine! The negative reviews are shocking, cause this is a place that used to be bad, and they have done alot to become what they are today! They used to have a smaller shop, and all the food was bad, but once they moved to the corner, everything they made was improved on!
Best Cheesesteak strombolis ever - fast delivery & consistently good food. The people that answer the phone are a little short but I guess because they're busy. A must try!
