South Street Sushi is a mirage, a hallucination, an eruption of passion lined thinly with a nightmarish hue. Like a tribal rite of passage, its essence cannot exist outside of the hours of 2:00 am - 4:00 am, as if a greasy, grungy Brigadoon bloomed and blossomed from the bitter sidewalks of South Street every night. To attain this level of enlightenment, the subject must consume enough alcohol that they would be considered a "crying out for help" by certain audiences. Next, after a confused, sometimes frightening trek through the shadowy South Philly streets, the subject must obtain one cheesesteak from Jim's Steaks, at 4th and South streets. The cheesesteak is carefully transported to Lorenzo's, one block east, and kept in its wrapping while the subject purchases any one slice of Lorenzo's gargantuan pizzas. The subject carries the two items outside, and in a fit of gluttony, drunkenness and shame, wraps the jumbo slice of pizza around the cheesesteak, and shovels the sickening combination down its throat like a snake swallowing a helpless mole. But like a river in the deep, dry desert, it is but an illusion. For when the feeling is gone, and the day is new, your life-changing accomplishment sends you spiraling back to Earth with a long, long lecture - courtesy of the porcelain god. Only those who truly with to live their lives to the fullest will experience this miraculous disaster. It will change your life.

Often undercooked. Often overhyped. It's okay if you're wasted and need something in your belly. Otherwise, avoid. Pros: Location Cons: Taste

This place practices the old adage of dome one thing well, and do it a lot. They are located in the heart of South St. They sell pizza and sods, and that's it. While you can buy a whole pie, they predominantly sell by the slice. The line is always out the door. The price is cheap. The pizza is superb

After a long night at Makos which is right next down and you are feeling hungry this is the place to go. Good pizza for cheap. Massive slices bigger than your face! There are no seat in the place but most of the time people just come in grab a bit and go back out onto south street to shop or hang out. The staff are crazy, friendly with attitude in a good way. Cheapest place for a bite to eat on south street

I try to get out to Lorenzos once a week if I can. The pizza doesn't taste like cardboard and has the right consistancy always. Of the many times I've been there, I had one pie that was so so and it was still good. There is no need for toppings when the pizza is that good. As for the mirrored back room... I personally think its kinda cool. Kind of a throw back to the quirkiness that South Street used to have. Price is right and the staff moves everyone through there very quickly even if there is a line. I can only eat one slice and my bf can only eat two. Thats saying alot for two people that love to eat and have a huge appetite. Pros: Pizza is the right thickness and the staff moves the lines very quickly . Very good price Cons: It would be nice if the shop were a little bigger

first off, you can't trust any pizza place that the owners don't actually work in, but who can blame them, being that the place is clearly a converted public restroom, which is fitting, since eating the half-assed pizza is something like munching on a sopping handful of used toilet paper. Weak sauce, and too little of it, gobs of cheap, flavorless cheese, and a thick, gummy, barely-done crust make it tedious going after the first few bites. It seems like a laundromat for mob cash, the pizza being an afterthought. So if you're in the area, and are really desperate for pizza, go for it. I guess you can always imagine that it's good. The person who recommends the Italian Market Lorenzo's is dead on, except it's on 9th and christian. Pros: quick n' cheap Cons: passing this off as some kind of tradition is an insult to anyone's intelligence
