10 Reviews for NYPD Pizza
Convenient and quick eat in my neighborhood. I've tried a couple of their specialty pizzas and I really liked them. I really like the fact that they give me good pizza whenever I go there. Warning: their buffalo wings are very, very hot!

A couple other pizza joints compete for my affection (Soho & the Dock Street Brewery), but NYPD is definitely amazing. Sometimes the grab and go slices can be a little lackluster, but if you order a pie fresh, you're in for a treat. If you swear by a true New York style pie, then this should be your hangout - the owners are Brooklyn to Philly transplants, after all.
Having lived in the Chicago area for the first decade of my life, their deep dish pizza doesn't exactly come close to the real thing - but it's a worthy and filling attempt by an East Coast pizza joint.

My boyfriend's favorite pizza. It has the best slices in Center City. The dough they use is perfect - large, thin slices. And we usually order their buffalo wings which are pretty good.
NYPD was our favorite place to call for pizza and sandwiches but, recently, the food has not been as good as it was before. The pizzas were sometimes burnt. Other times, it seemed like the pizza was sitting around for a while and they just heated it back up when we ordered it. I'm hoping this is just a string of flukes but, in the meantime, NYPD gets nocked down a store, which I think is being generous.

You know everyone is RAVING about how great the pizza here is, but I kind of think it's lacking. I was introduced to this place by a friend how apparently has had great food here. But the pizza we got was way salty, the slices were way too think, and it wasn't as piping hot as pizza should always be. So called friend said that once they get to know you the pizza gets better. haha I don't see the rationalization in that, but whatev's. I'll pass.

They probably deserve four stars but they get five for being the best Center City has to offer. That's not to say they don't have good slices though. Plain slices can hold, the margherita is good, as is the white with tomato or spinach and the sicilian is GREAT. Just like lunch at Sila Bella back in high school. Minus the games of cee-lo on the tables and rolling blunts in the bathroom.
Do yourself a favor and drop in for some slices, pizza always tastes the best like that. And wake up Philly, this is what pizza tastes like.
best pizza i've had in center city. the white tomato pizza is AWESOME. to the person who said it was too thin, then don't get thin crust. order chicago style or sicilian.

A friend of mine worked around the way and hipped me to this place. I've never had anything but pizza, yet everytime I'm in, people are always ordering salads and sandwiches.
I really like their sicilian pizza, and I may go out on a limb and say it's the best I've had in Philly. The bread is crunchy, overcooked, and the sauce is memorable. The traditional pie is just as good as you'll come to expect from like-minded places. They do offer some gourmet stuff too, which strays from the competition who tends to do meats, NYPD offers healthier, or more sophisticated gourmet slices... not that either of those labels belong anywhere near me or anything...
NYPD does East Coast pizza right. Their slices are huge, thin, and cheap just the way East Coast pizza should be. Try their spinach and ricotta white pies. They're amazing. But don't try the mushroom pies, because the mushrooms come out of a can. I've always ordered their pizza (I've never actually stepped inside the place), and they have always arrived in a timely manner. The guy who usually delivers my pizza is the friendliest delivery guy I've ever encountered.
The absolute best pizza in Philly, hands down. Try the sicilian for something different. It's huge - I warn you. Regular pizzas are all perfect - every time. Eat it once and you'll be telling all of your friends.
