Rex Pizza & Beer — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Stopped in this evening with a group. Being formerly from Philadelphia, I had never heard of this place. Small restaurant, but one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Great service and the owner/manager is absolutely a riot. If he ever decides to give up the restaurant business, he'll definitely make it as a headliner comedian in Vegas. I only have 2 very minor suggestions. The menus that are given to the customers does not reflect the actual prices. For current pricing, you need to look at the menu board behind the order counter. So, I'd suggest getting new menus. Also, I'm not fond of purple skinned onion. The menu board just says onion. I was a bit surprised when I received my pizza with purple skinned onion. I figured it was going to come with white onion. I had to remove the purple skinned onion from the slices I ate. So, if only purple skinned onion is available, that should be mentioned to the customer when ordering. If purple skinned onion and white onion are available, that should be mentioned to the customer when ordering so the type of onion can be selected. Both of the above are just my suggestions. Otherwise, Rex Pizza has absolutely delicious pizza and a wonderful/fun atmosphere, in addition to the owner/manager not charging a cover charge for the comedic...

Oh. My. Goodness. This is by far the best, most authentic pizza I've had. The freshness and quality are without a doubt unmatchable. I eat a lot of pizza and usually don't care to leave reviews because most are just very average or basic. If your pizza doesn't taste better than Domino's or Digiorno, what are you doing? But those can't hold a candle to this. The prices in the pics here are not accurate, you're going to pay about $2-3 more. Realistically, though, even that is generous for the amount of food you get. The portions are huge for the price. I highly recommend getting a slice or Stromboli, anything really.

Now, the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired and the service is debatable but never bad or poor. You won't be poorly treated here. If you come to drink and eat pizza, you'll be alright. Very homey feel to it but "bar" might be an overstatement (although there is a seating arrangement for a bar and you can sit there). Buy your beers, eat your pizza, watch the game, the news, or whatever else is on. It's going to be a good time. Overall I'd give it a 5/5, and...
