12 reviews for Lickety Split
With God as my witness, I will NEVER eat Lorenzo's pizza again. You know, unless it's after 2 AM and I'm on South...and then I just deserve shitty pizza.
This place is a victim of its name, I think. I mean, really? Lickety Split? On South Street? If that doesn't scream "sketchy douche", I don't know what does. I never would have ever walked in here if a boy hadn't invited me for a "going away thing". I was surprised at the bar choice, since dude seemed much more like a Tattooed Mom's type. I mean, the upstairs isn't anything amazing, but the DJ played a bunch of superrad punk rockandroll, with an interlude of the King of Pop (RIP). Much better than what I was expecting.
That visit was also the first time I ever realized this place has fucking food. Who knew? The slice looked pretty tasty, so a couple days later I popped in to check it out. Hmmm....that chicken and veggie looks rather good. I'll probably get anally raped on the price, but let's give it a try. What's that? $3? $3? For a slice that is way bigger slash more delicious than Lorenzo's AND it has toppings? AND they have a bunch of different yummy looking pies by the slice? Sheeeeeit. I found my new lunch/dinner go to. Seriously, the pizza is really good, cheap, and huge.
Combine all of this with the skeevy dudes sitting outside hollering at girls, the slutty chicks inside taking pictures of their underwear, and drunk bartenders stumbling around with a bottle in each hand, and I can't help but think this is where actual Philly people come. Or at least the ones who seem brazenly awesome.
And as mentioned, six packs to go, y'all! I'm actually kind of glad Lickety Split has such a shitty name now; it can continue being a well kept secret!
Had a cheese steak there today because Jim's line was too long. It was the worst thing I have ever had to eat. The meat must have been old, had a very strong acid (like puke) and rotten taste. I ate one bite, paid for it and left.
They may be good for pizza based on the reviews below but this was the absolute worst cheese steak ever in the history of the world.
When it comes to Pizza on South Street screw Lorenzo's. Lickety Split has bigger slices, it is a lot roomier, doesn't have as big of a line of people waiting, and it has a bar upstairs. The bar regulars can be pretty shady sometimes, but if you've been to dive bars directly on South Street then you're used to it being the theme. A lot of the deals can be worth it though.
Sometimes Lickety Split has a live music performance, a DJ, and an Open Mic night. the sound is pretty much what you would expect from a pizza joint/dive bar - very horrible. but a lot of the musicians can be worth checking out.
Checked out LS before a show at the TLA and was pleasantly surprised. Downstairs has the vibe of a laid back pizza place, but with some class. There is a counter you can sit at and eat/drink which doubles as a bar. Upstairs is a more traditional bar with a small stage at the front of the room where music acts perform. I stayed downstairs but I would definitely go back here to enjoy a drink or two.
One awesome thing about this place is the size of the pizza slices. Honestly they are the largest slices I've ever seen in my life - you have to see them to believe it!
This place is pretty chill, especially the upstairs part, and it's one of the only places on South Street that I could find that sells six packs. However, it's filthy. The bar upstairs is sticky with an inch-high slime-like substance that has clearly been there for years. I wonder if they have even wiped the counters down once since they opened the place. The beer selection mostly sucks. Not really much good to say about this place, except it wasn't too crowded and we were able to find a bar seat, although I wish we hadn't... my elbows would have stayed unsticky.
If you need a qucik slice that isn't covered in rivers of grease, this is where you go. Big slices, actual spices and good flavors.
My friends and I were here only because the line of Jim's Steaks were out the door and too ridiculous for us to wait.
We're from NY and my friend was in search of the PERFECT PHILLY CHEESE STEAK.
Actually I don't really care for meat-I am a seafood lover, so whatever....
We walked around hours trying to find some place that served Philly Cheese steak, but most places looked really sketchy. So when we finally decided on Jim's, I was already too exhausted from our trip to Philly for me to find another place.
I just told my friend let's go somewhere within the vicinity because I am too exhausted to go anywhere.
So this is how we ended up here.
My friend ordered Ice Tea----has society became so lazy that we can no longer brew tea?
I am sorry, but my friend and I likes REAL ICE TEA, not INSTANT NESTEA TEA!
What else the water tasted funny there, perhaps I used to NY water.
Moving on....Spicy fries were good though.
The Philly cheese steak-not great and not bad....but hey what do I know. I never had one, but I can say the texture of the bread was nice, and soft to chew.
I can't really judge a cheese steak-I mean I can tell the difference between a bad pate from a good pate, good sashimi from a bad sashimi, but not a cheese steak.
Since in my opinion, it's just another greasy sandwich.
It's a pizza shop with a liquor license. I like that in a pizza shop. Back in the day, Lickety Split used to be Pomodoro's. It's better now. If not just for the icon of a girl licking a cherry on the exterior. The pizza slices are HUGE. Like mammoth. They have cheesesteaks, hoagies, all sorts of artery clogging Philly food. They also have vegan chile, so it's not all bad.
Lickety Split's upstairs bar does really cheap drink specials. Shots of Jameson for $3. I'd rather that than the citywide Jim and PBR for the same price. I saw they were doing $2 shots of Jaeger today. I hate Jaeger, but if you like it that's durn cheap. Also, they do a dinner special with a samwich and domestic pint for 9.95. Which is good since Yard's is one of their domestics.
I think they do music and open mic upstairs at night because I can hear the sounds coming through the window onto South Street. It sounded like something I would want to avoid.
Working only a couple doors from Lickety Split. I use to frequent there for lunch. The pizza slices are frickin' HUGE, thin and gooey. YUM. Try the spicy fries w/ cheese another deserving YUMMM. The bar upstairs USED to be tolerable when a certain somebody ran the bar and he provided me with entertainment. But besides him the crowd is kind of iffy. Plenty of late nights spent there after work, I've witnessed a couple of regulars that find the upstairs bathroom a great place to smoke crack. YES crack.. If you've read some of my reviews. I ask myself, why must i always end up in places where the find their happy medium with the crack?!! =) Come for the food, stay for the cheap drinks, either that avoid the perverted crowd.
I initially gave this place a good review, and it's just a regular-ass bar, nothing really special about it on way or another, but I was horrified to pay 8 bucks for a whiskey and soda. 8 BUCKS? I understand there are situations when this is acceptable, like at strip clubs and classy-type places, but Lickety Split is neither. And, as if the price wasn't bad enough, the drink was weak. I say fuck this place, go to Mom's, at least you can smoke there. I think the pizza's better than Lorenzo's, though.
this place has an upstairs and downstairs bar. the upstairs one is quite small but they have live bands which is pretty cool. bathrooms contain a collage of writings upon just about every surface. drink prices are pretty inexpensive and the nite i was there it was verrry crowded, standing room only. downstairs they sell massive slices of pizza.
My boyfriend and I went to an Open Mic Comedy Show (upstairs) over the summer and we will never go back again. We had a few drinks before we went in there and after 3 or 4 Miller Lite bottles each and a round of shots (that the bar tender said were on her) we were ready for our tab. It was as if the bar tender was trying to pull something on us because our tab came to be about sixty four dollars or so. I gave her my card before I knew what the price of the tab was (partly my own fault) because I had trusted that it would be correct (mostly because I am a waitress myself). When I got the receipt to sign for the bill I was confused on why the tab was so high, so we asked to see the itemized copy of the receipt. We saw that she had given us the wrong tab (a thirty something difference) and when we asked about it, she could not gave us a straight answer as she fumbled out her words. Let's just say we will not be visiting this establishment again. The Comedy Show was pretty funny though. If I would have known about this site before, I would have written this MUCH earlier.
