Cosimo’s Pizza

I am definitely not a pizza snob but I was disappointed. Got a slice w tomatoes and basil. The toppings were generous and it was filling but I hadn’t realized it was a «white» aka no tomato sauce slice. Not my fave but my own fault. Overall pretty bland even w my salt, pepper and pepper flakes. Large variety of slices available. Mine cost $ 3.45. I can’t speak to any of their other food.

Ordered calzone and a couple other things to go. Counter woman was indifferent to my existence. Took forever. Would avoid this place in the future.

Easily the worst pizza I have ever gotten. Inedible. I ordered delivery, took one bite, and spit it out. It was a chicken with chipotle sauce. It had this gross, runny sauce all over it, and very little chicken. it was gross tasting and chewy. I was thrilled when they had whole wheat crust. Not thrilled when I tasted it.
This pizza was expensive, and I threw it in the trash.

Unfortunately terrible. The pizza is not good. It’s a shame there are no good places in chestnut hill for pizza. How fucking hard is it to make good pizza.

I love cosimos and I come here a lot. The food is good for a pizza place and the atmosphere is nice. However, the staff isn’t too good at getting orders right and the food is pretty pricey. I got two slices today and it cost 7 dollars.

Not sure why there’s so many negative reviews. Seems there’s quite a few pizza snobs in this area-​not a surprise given the luxurious homes surrounding this.
I liked this place bc they had a variety of slices available-​they looked yummy and Italian! Some places have already made slices that limit you to cheese or pepperoni.
I worked in a pizzeria for 3 years so I know good pizza. I had buff chick (my favorite) and it was yummy. Good sauce, chicken, and crust. It’s hard for me to find a good crust-​this wasn’t too crunchy and I loved it. I could have done without the celery on the pizza but I get why they put it on there-​to go with the buff chix theme. I also had garlic knots, which were yummy!
Prices weren’t too bad.
The food was hot-​as they warmed it up in oven prior to serving me.
FYI to people ordering delivery-​food might be cold bc it’s in a car and not an oven !!! They likely use the pizza warming bags but they often don’t keep it super hot, especially if the drive is long.
So eat here, it’s good and staff is friendly! If you’re opposed to cold delivery pizza-​get off your lazy … and pick it up yourself ;)

Good if you like being overcharged for mediocre product. They have raised their prices… again.
As a local who orders from here often, I realize things are a little higher in price. However, a recent menu listed the cheese steak as being $ 6.59 & the price was actually $ 7.99. For the tiny little sandwich with almost no cheese on it, this is insanely overpriced.
This is the last time I’ll be spending money here. I’m tired of paying through the nose for bad to mediocre food.

Very disappointing. I moved to Chestnut Hill this summer and can’t believe there are no decent pizza places in such a great part of Philly. Neighbors say to order pizza from Flourtown however since it was a quasi holiday (and several places were closed) I called Cosimo’s to try their pizza.
Pizza was over done and garlic knots were lukewarm and on the verge of becoming soggy from being in aluminum foil too long. Smallest pie they had was a medium and after adding a drink, I waited. Delivery took at least 40 minutes and I live less than a mile away. There was also a charge for delivery which then made me feel bad for not tipping the driver… It was almost $ 20 poorly spent. After I opened and then attempted to eat some of the food, I crossed yet another pizza place in Chestnut Hill off my list.

Great gluten free pizza and clean, family-​friendly atmosphere. We loved the bacon and spinach pizza with GF crust that is crispy and not doughy like some GF pizzas.
We came in after being disappointed with the options at Iron Hill. After you enjoy the pizza, stop into McNally’s for a Moscow Mule or a beer

I have a love-​hate thing for Cosimo’s however the good does outweigh the bad enough for me to be a repeat customer. I think that their pizza is outstanding and other food is pretty good too. You definitely have to try it and you will most definitely enjoy it. The service is good– I had a bad experience once that makes me think twice about going when planning lunch in the area but given the circumstances, I’m not going to elaborate– the service you’ll get will be just fine.
There’s one thing I really can’t stand in a business is when customers are charged to use a credit card– and Cosimo’s is one of them. I understand how credit card services works on the business side (I sell the services) and if a business is passing their processing costs on to their customers– well that says a lot. It is only a couple of cents (7 to be exact) but, lastly, Cosimo’s is by no means cheap so it all adds up. I got a slice of pizza, a fountain drink and a garlic knot for lunch– almost $ 7!
With all this said– it really is a must try place however in my opinion, with all the other options around, unless u make a fortune, this won’t be a regular spot.

Meh. I mean, all pizza is good, but this is definitely the lowest common denominator of handmade pizza. It is probably perfect for a lot of people in chestnut hill who don’t want their food too «ethnic», but I was bored.
I like my pizza crust chewy — this was much more like bread — and my pizza oily and garlicky. This was dry and the sauce was just straight tomato sauce without many spices or other flavors. I actually put hot sauce on my slice, which helped, but hot sauce should be a treat, not a remedy.
They get pluses for having gluten-​free options (which is why we schlepped out there in the first place), but that crust was pretty flavorless, too, I’m told.
Also a plus is homemade lemonade and root beer. They have good toppings, they put fresh arugula on the pizza, but man, what a disappointment.
If you want a good pizza, Try Pizza Brain in Kensington, Taconneli’s in port richmond, or Lorenzo’s on south street.

Went here for lunch the other day with a friend of mine who is local to chestnut hill. All of the specialty pizzas looked good! Not really in a pizza mood, I got a turkey, avocado, cheese wrap with chipotle ranch. It was pretty big, but for the price I guess I assumed it would’ve come with chips but it did not. Tasty wrap, but nothing too special. The cashier/​server was nice and friendly. My friend enjoyed her pizza and salad and said she will likely return in the future.

Having recently moved to the area from NY, one of my main concerns was for the well being of my family. A close second however was the pizza. Being a lifelong New Yorker, it sounds cliché, but this came to mind, unironically, several times as we prepared to move.
Our first foray into the Philadelphia pizza scene was at Cosimo’s.
They had several ready made pies of different types. I asked about their grandma pie and the young lady pointed to a thin looking Sicilian pie and said «yeah, grandma Sicilian.» My heart sank for I knew, that what I was looking at was not the grandma pizza that I’ve come to know and love (Shout out to Pizza Classica in Glendale Queens!).
None the less, we ordered our slices and headed home with the specter of a bad pizza experience looming over our shoulders.
The rundown;
Plain cheese slice — Pretty good. The sauce is a bit sweet which is fine by me, the cheese was good. The end crust had more bread like consistency and not the chewy, slightly puffy texture that I know and love.
Their ‘Grandma’ — My review is based on the fact that they identify their pie as a grandma pie coupled with the other grandma pizza I’ve had in NY… I’m sorry, but it doesn’t compare. There was no oily roasted garlic spread liberally atop the pie amid puddles of salty sauce with islands of fresh mozzarella cheese melted throughout.
Sausage slice — similar to plain, the sausage was good and plentiful.
If this turns out to be the best pizza in my area, I can live with that, however, my quest continues.

Great location right in the heart of Chestnut Hill. A lot of people are complaining about the prices, but considering the location, this place is one of the few affordable places to just sit down and eat.
Clean and comfortable inside with multiple TV’s (pretty cool for a pizza joint) and then there’s the option to eat outside too which is always nice!
The food is pretty decent. The pizza is about what you’d expect.
Nice place to come to eat and relax after a great hike through Wissahickon.

Bleh. Wandering through town at 8:00 at night and being hungry, we saw «pizza» and decided to stop.
It’s clean, reasonably comfy, and the offerings at the counter looked appealing.
That’s about where I lost interest.
Our «build your own 4-​items» large pizza and 1 drink were just over $ 20 bucks. That wouldn’t necessarily upset me if the pizza was as tasty as it looked when it came to the table. It wasnt. Where I’m from, we’d call this «carnival pizza». It’s bland, the crust had no flavor at all and although it was crisp & hot, it was reminiscent of cardboard.
The toppings were plentiful, except for the tiny chips of sausage, but the sparse cheese & sauce left me unimpressed, and i found myself dumping lots of spices and salt to try and make it palatable.
I’ve had Pizza Hut which blew this places offerings away. I’m sad to actually say that, but it’s true.
I really wanted to like it, but I’m not a fan, and prob’ly wont return.
If you have wheels, drive another mile East and go to Totos in Mt. Airy.

Good, not great. Came to cherry hill for a festival and wanted a quick bite before heading back on the road. I got roast beef sandwich, was on the bland side, with little toppings. Friends pizza was a bit soggy– not heated correctly.

Been here a few times with the family because one of my uncles lives in the area.
‘Cause when you’re in Philly, you gotta have a cheesesteak. It’s a mandate in my
opinion. The cheesesteak hoagie is a bundle of aromatic tastiness. Being that most
times we drive back with the sandwiches to NYC, they hold up real well as road
food. The prices are slightly on the steep side. Also, be prepared to spell out in
full detail exactly what you want, how you want it. Interestingly enough, Cosimo’s
is also where I gained a deep appreciation for Herr’s potato chips, notably their
Ketchup flavor.
The space itself is nice and quaint for the surrounding neighborhood. Cosimo’s
is cool with me… maybe next time I’ll try the chicken marinara.

Here’s another Chestnut Hill restaurant that I just want to love but can’t.
Cosimo’s is a quick pizza option in Chestnut Hill and is pretty tasty. The prices are just not at all competitive. It’s just too expensive for the type of restaurant it is. I know it’s in Chestnut Hill, but honestly, the only reason they get away with it is because a Domino’s or some other chain isn’t within delivery range.
The specials are also misleading. A special for two larges will sound great, but once you add toppings at $ 1+ per topping you’ll be amazed at the price.
We have also had a couple of experiences in which the staff accidentally charged us for full price when we specifically asked for the special. We had to call back twice to ask them to check the price of our order this past time before they fixed it.
So, I think some good competition would be great, and I welcome a chain pizza joint to come and provide that competition.

Hit the spot for a post-​bike ride dinner. Had the Aegan Chicken sandwich on flatbread with black olives, feta, and cucumbers (held the dressing)… pretty tasty, and didn’t have to wait long. Some of the slices looked really good too.
Nothing special, but definitely good for grabbing a quick bite in the area.

This place is large, so large that they have a special play area for kids. To me, this is always a danger signal, an eating establishment that wants kids to come in is probably not serving great food.
So here I am, ordering 2 slices of pepperoni pizza at $ 3 each from a cashier that clearly wants to be elsewhere, and I sit down to enjoy. The price is ridiculous first of all, and the crust is a bit underdone. The taste is not better or worse than most, so it is easy to find a better deal elsewhere. There is one other table full of people, including children.
A small child of about 2 or 3 is allowed to wander, and she finds the ice cream refrigerator, and of course opens it and pokes around, touching about 20 different products in there before selecting one that she wants, and she returns to her table where she is told to put it back. She does, and even slides the opening-​from-​the-​top door shut. I must say, I am impressed with the kid, but not so much the parents.
My mind wanders, because I don’t like the pizza very much, and I think about cleanliness, since a child has potentially infected 20 ice creams with her snot-​covered hands (who knows where they have been?). I look down on the floor and see that it needs sweeping.
Good bye, Cosimo’s…
