Uncle Oogie’s

I hate leaving poor reviews but we’ve given this place many tries for DELIVERY (never dined in). Same experience every time & I’m not even a picky eater. Any of their cutlet sandwiches, their chicken is ALWAYS rubbery, over cooked. Pizza is «Ok». Wings, never crispy, lack flavor & ALWAYS taste like they were fresh out of the microwave. Maybe if you dine in their food is better? Not every good restaurant has a good take out. Though after spending $ 32 for two people, i shouldn’t feel nauseous & regretting this meal. Overall, I could of gotten the same quality if not a little better from McDonald’s $ 1 menu. Save your money.

This is not your typical take-​out pizza joint. Between the quality of the food, the service, and the menu options, I am a big fan of this place.
While the menu items may look typical, it is not. They offer many/​most of their items gluten-​free. I don’t eat gluten-​free, but many people do. It is a nice touch.
At first bite, you can tell they use higher quality ingredients. From the cheese, to the dough, to the sauce, it is noticeably higher quality than other places.
Not only have I gotten pizza, cheesesteaks, etc to go, I have also used Uncle Oogie’s for catering. They were very responsive, had the food ready, and took it out to my car for me.
There is seating, so you can easily have a peaceful meal here.
Staff is always friendly.
I no longer live in the area, but when I do, I sometimes order from here. They are that good.

The downloadable PDF of their menu reminds me of the days before Osama Bin Laden was a threat and Kobe Bryant was a young, unheard of, basketball prospect.

If Rooster C. Thinks it’s tasty, I would avoid it like the plague.

They have good pizza and Stromboli. I find it absurd and unnecessary that they charge a fee to make boli buns. I’m sure it’s such a difficult process. But every single sandwich that I’ve tried (which has been more than a few) has been bland and tasteless. Especially if it’s a chicken cutlet sandwich. Apparently they don’t know what seasoning is. I’ve heard rumors around that it’s not the cleanest place and that they treat their employees poorly, but that could just be conjecture.

The name alone made this place interesting to me but some trusted friends are of the opinion that this place was worth trying. It’s always been tough to try this place though, because if I’m coming out this way, I’m going to Grubhouse.
So I took the opportunity of Grubhouse being on sabbatical as well as (full disclosure) my first choice being closed and I found myself at Oogies. The problem was, I couldn’t remember what people said was good here, pizza or cheesesteak and without internet I was in a quandary. Luckily, I’m a resourceful man and I decided to get a slice AND a cheesesteak. Shut up! It was my birthday, I could do what I want!
I pretty much are the slice as an appetizer while waiting for my cheesesteak. It was decent. Thin and crispy with a saltiness to the cheese that I liked.
The Steak was good too. They are definitely trying to compete with the traditional South Philly Steak in style. From bread to the slab steak and onions. I didn’t ask for a specific cheese and was given what seemed to be an American/​wiz hybrid. I liked it and it passed the car test of being easy to eat in my car without looking like a bloodbath afterwards.
Overall, it was a decent meal with quick and friendly service but there was nothing here to wow me. If I lived nearby it would be a go-​to place but it’s not a destination spot from the Burbs like Grubhouse is.
Uncle Oogie is the solid uncle that you like to visit but aren’t excited to visit. He’s also not the uncle that touches you inappropriately so that’s a good thing.

I order there from work often. The girls are very friendly and make it easy. My only complaint is the driver NEVER gets my drink order right (I’ve stopped with the drinks completely).
Food is very good, no complaints on anything I’ve ordered. Pizza is great and I tend to get the oogies special. My go to sandwich.
You can eat inside also if you want. Also you can pay with a card over the phone if you choose.

i ordered steak boli buns and received pepperoni. We called back and told them of the mistake, they fixed it. They also allowed us to keep the pepperoni (we don’t eat pork), and they brung us what we ordered. We gave the pepperoni ones to our neighbor. The steak boli buns are awesome. The buffalo wings and bar b que wings are great too

The food isn’t bad, I just don’t appreciate the fact that they refuse to pay me my drivers mileage Check (700 – 800 dollars) after I stopped working there. I’m a 2 tour veteran of Afghanistan and I’m seriously hurting financially because these cheap ignorant people won’t pay me. I for one will not be ordering from them and am telling every person I come in contact with not to patronize them because they dick over veterans. Enjoy your freedom, your welcome

I only go to Oogies for their Boli Buns. Boli Buns are miniature versions of the Philadelphia classic Stromboli. They’re served with a red sauce on the side. Def tasty. Would like one or two more on the small order for the price. Oh well.
Note — The original Uncle Oogies is down the shore in Sea Isle City so you can get Boli Buns at the beach.

Speaking of the Oregon Avenue location:
The people who take your order are very nice.
I recommend the buffalo chicken, Old Italian, and Sicilian pizzas. I LOVE their chicken cheesesteak. This is a great place for medium-​thickness crust (they don’t really have thin or deep dish) pizza. Plus, it’s WAY less greasy (aka better) than City Pizza.

Uncle oogies?! More like my creepy uncles loogies.
Never have I been so engulfed by rage and passion then when the Snyder location informed me that they had transferred my order to the Oregon location. 2 long hours writhing in hunger and total ego annihilation. My insides spoke of mutiny and the clock giggled at my misery. The breath wasted calling both locations will never be redeemed.
The pizza was delicious, but I couldn’t finish it all and I had to call my friends to help finish it!
Goes great with hot sauce.

Some of the friendliest phone service I’ve experienced in Philly and they’re never over an hour late with my deliveries. In fact they’re usually here within a half hour. As far as customer service, this is a five star establishment. They ALWAYS make sure they have the order right before you hang up.
Their pizza is tasty, but I’m not crazy about it. The reason to order from here is the sandwiches. Steaks, burgers, hoagies and especially their chicken parm is damn good. The cheese fries and wings are also great. This would be my default take out place if their pizza was as good as their sandwiches.

Fantastic wings! The hot version has some kick, but there’s flavor there too. The pizza is ok, but above some of the other local places. I wish they had more sauce and it leans a little on the greasy side. It’s not so bad that it drips all over and it’s all you taste, but you do notice it.
The cheesesteaks are a bit skimpy. I would go somewhere else for that and just stick to wings and pizza for this place.

Lol … I placed my order through Grubhub (2 cheesesteaks, 2 orders of cheese fries with the cheese on the side ( Unilocal tip) and a Pepsi). The order was delivered in a timely manner, the food was hot and pretty tasty but they called grub hub to charge me an additional $ 0.11 for two sides of cheese instead of on the fries. Lol. $ 0.11 really, not $ 0.10 or $ 0.12 but $ 0.11.

Great wings! Plus the breakfast pizza w bacon is fantastic. I go back to this spot everytime and I live way North!

Been ordering from here about 4 or 5 years. Some of the best pizza in the city. Get a breakfast pizza with American and green peppers. Sooo slammin! And even better reheated the next day.

Really fast delivery, and darn fine food.
We ordered a Four Cheese Pomodoro pizza, and it was delicious. Nice crust, good flavour. The chicken cheesesteaks were quite tasty, too.
I can’t wait until we’re back in Philly, so we can order again!

When this place opened, I didn’t want to stray away from my normal pizza place — I felt like I would be cheating on them, but because I started seeing Uncle Oogie-​mobiles driving all around South Philly, I figured I had to try this place.
The hubby and I ordered the bruschetta pizza. OMG! It was delicious! I highly recommend it. When I opened the box, it looked more like a work of art than of a pizza.
I have also had their veggie wrap and their apple/​walnut salad — both of which are scrumptious!
So, yeah, there was a reason why I saw so many Uncle Oogie-​mobiles delivering around South Philly. Great food!!!

We ordered from Uncle Oogie’s for a company event — and my chicken. avocado salad was delicious. The pasta and ‘parm platters looked great, too.
Love it here, still.
