Maxi’s Pizza, Subs and Bar

Sometimes it takes 15 mins to get a drink when no 1 is in line. Annoying service. The night time bar manager «brian» with a douchey beard is such a jerkface. Starts issues with customers for no reason to abuse what little authority he has in life. Pathetic individual to say the least. Great pizza and cheap beer tho.

I’ve heard pretty mixed reviews about the place so thought I might still give it a try. Obviously, I was expecting it to be crowded on a Friday night but I was not expecting a place so small that I couldn’t walk in. Finally, I got to the bar and ordered a beer on tap. I was given a small plastic cup which I though I spilled a bit at first. No, I didn’t spill a bit of anything, the cup I was given was cracked. I went back to the bar and told the bartender. All he did was put another cup under it instead of giving me another whole beer like I asked. Mind you this entire time it was warm and flat. Once I got to my friends and found a table I noticed the cheap furniture. The table looked like one from a high school cafeteria. Also it was wobbly and the chairs were cheap ones you’d find at a fast food restaurant. I was really disappointed that the bar was as bad as others described it to be. The pizza looked okay, but it was sitting around for a long time behind the glass and then reheated and looked dirty behind the counter.

They have pretty good specials and good food. However, I will say that some of the bartenders aren’t always the friendliest. Other than not, it’s a pretty solid place.

The buffalo pizza is alright. There is a constant shortage of bar staff so you wait like 15 minutes for an overpriced, watered-​down drink. Meh. Just meh.

This is a decent place to grab a beer and a slice of pizza during off times. I haven’t been here on a weekend so I don’t know how the crowd gets (I’m a little old for college bars on a Friday night) but during the week for happy hour isn’t too bad.

Grabbed a late night snack here. Wasn’t blown away but at the same time wasn’t too disappointed. Hard for me to give it more than three stars due to customer service. An overall good spot to run in order pizza and run out. It’s not a very good hang out spot.

No one uses gloves. Disgusting establishment. I went in tonight and not only did they disrespect my friend but her food and her drinks were late

Let’s be serious — great location on a busy large campus with above average pizza and bar food. I’m surprised it’s averaged at 3 stars. When I lived on campus I must have gone here at least once a week. I loved the pizza and the garlic knots were ordered almost every single time. I never thought it was overpriced for any other better pizza in the area.
I however never appreciated it as a hangout spot. The bar section of the establishment is kind of skeevy to say the least. I usually just picked up my order and enjoyed it at home!
I really do miss this spot! I would have to stop back if I was ever in the area again.

This place is glorified money hole. It’s all about profit and not about quality. There are way better places to enjoy a beer and better choices of beer too. The food and subpar or below and are not worth the price. I’ll keep my money next time and invest it into an eating establishment that actually increases the value of the Temple campus and not degrades it

One of he better pizza places on campus and great drink specials almost every night of the week make for a good bar. Maxis may not be the nicest bar to be in but it is right in the middle of temples campus making it a perfect place to grab a drink or a slice after class.

Quality speciality pizza with a variety of choices! Maxi’s is always adding new slices to the rotation. Personal favorites are penne vodka, chicken honey mustard, and pesto ravioli! It seems that the price per slice changes often though, almost on a whim. Snag some garlic knots if they’re available, although they’re a bit pricey. The bar has a great atmosphere and decent college bar drink specials. Karaōke night is a blast!

I like Maxi’s a lot! They have really unique pizza options and they make wonderful quesadillas. Their drink specials are competitive considering their location and the layout of the building is interestingly unique.
They would get five stars if they cleaned their tables a bit more frequently. I’ve had to wipe my own table many, many times. Then again, that raises overhead and would subsequently raise end prices for customers, so that’s not ideal either. #thestruggle

I’m giving this place five stars because it’s the BEST PIZZA you will get in the area. Their plain pizza is good, but their buffalo chicken pizza takes the cake.
It’s simply amazing. They also make buffalo chicken rolls which are TDF and their salads are good (albeit pricey) when you’re in the mood for something healthy.
Only downside to the food here, is that its not cheap. $ 12 for a small garden salad, drink and slice seems a bit steep if you ask me.

I’d call it last resort pizza — if you’re sober minded you know you can do better. But you can’t really beat the convenience of it being right on Temple’s campus. The bar is cool though, they have a trivia night that can get pretty rowdy (in the best way).

One of the many upsetting features of Temple Main Campus is its utter lack of bars. Maxi’s is a modest venue. The food is decent, the pizzas are generally superior to the other vendors nearby, at they serve at an acceptable speed. As a graduate student, day drinking is often merited. I think day drinking is always merited, but to each her own. That said, I really appreciate the bar at Maxi’s. Unlike other local venues (*coughDraughtHorsecough*), the bartenders are very attentive and polite. I like that they keep a keen eye on the crowd so that no minors sneak in. The prices are remarkably low. You can do some serious drinking here for very cheap. Additionally, while I would normally scoff at the praise of something as rudimentary as chicken fingers and fries, I have to say, I quite enjoy Maxi’s rendition. Crisp and salty and plated with a particularly tasty honey mustard. Maxi’s is a great place to grab a beer midday if you are a Temple student. I would never come here at night, but I will continue to visit for day drinking.

As of this semester this bar almost doubled in size and its about time! Now you can enjoy the plethora of beer specials and weekday events planned without feeling cramped. This place is not your Saturday night dance party, the weekdays are more for what they target. But the $ 4 pizza and beer special for happy hour is my new favorite deal considering most of the craft slices go for +$ 3.
Great after class hangout spot… oh and you will get carded 95% of the time regardless if you look 35 yrs old!

Maxis is a great spot for any Temple student. Not only are the bar specials awesome on their Mexican Monday nights, Karaōke Tuesdays, and Friday nights but their food is also great. My favorite drinks are their $ 3 fun dips and $ 7 Red Deaths. Not only are their drinks delicious but so is their food. Their specialty pizzas are amazing and their sandwiches are tasty!
On certain nights it can get kinda crazy with a lot of students but Friday and Saturdays have a more relaxing environment. I would suggest this for any day depending on what type of night you are looking for. Truly a great spot!

Maxi’s has been a Temple staple since day 1 of my freshman year. Their food is pretty pricey relative to the other pizza places on campus, but oh god. Their Temple fries — doused in cheese whiz, mozz, and bacon bits. Glorious late night munching. And they do have a great variety of pizza toppings to choose from too — bruschetta, bbq chicken, etc. But their food never blew me away, so I haven’t been here since I ran out of diamond dollars from my meal plan.
But enough about the food — Maxi’s is probably more well known for being the only bar ON campus. Where else can you grab a drink on the way to class? Not Draught or Webb. Maxi’s location is awesome, even if the bar itself isn’t that great. It’s a few tables on each side, and a rectangular bar in the middle. Bartenders get to you pretty quickly, even when it’s crowded (except like on Spring Fling). If you stick to the specials, it’s not that harsh on your wallet either. Fun events almost every night — pong tournaments and stuff. Maxi’s, like it or not, is definitely one place you must visit if you’re thirsty and you attend Temple University.

Well ya know, this is were you go between classes to get your booze that will keep your soul from dying while you buy the most overrated product in America, education.
$ 2 Yeungling Lite and a Dogfish IPA on tap, what could go wrong. so yay Maxi’s! Thanks for being in the heart of Temple U.

C’mon, it’s Maxi’s! A staple of Temple life. The best part about it is the location. Don’t forget, happy hour’s from 4 to 7, when beers are from about $ 2 to $ 3. Seriously, 4:00pm on the dot. We came in at about 3:57, asked for a couple of beers on tap, and had to pay full price because the computer system wouldn’t allow charging by happy hour prices yet. (OK, so we could have waited a few minutes, but we were crunched on time and wanted our beers RIGHT NOW… I mean, then).
They often have seasonal beers, which is pretty cool. Also, some wine, which they’ll pour you a pretty generous glass of. And they have a decent selection of liquor and make a decent cocktail.
If you need your pizza fix, this place will satisfy. They have some pretty creative toppings, like penne pasta, chicken caesar salad, and steak taco. The crust is decent, maybe a bit tough (or maybe the pizza’s been sitting out for a while). I have yet to try their wings, though they smell heavenly and are pretty decently sized. Extra sauce is 50 cents.
It can get loud, the floor is sometimes sticky. The bartenders are always friendly. Very chill, casual environment.
