great

drfear- youre obviously a complete idiot. do yourself a favor and dont talk unless your gonna speak the truth. The owners dont work there? rightttt.. considering the owners (2 of lorenzos children now that he has retired) work their assses off there. They keep a low profile so you dont know they own it but i promise you they are there working the counter- how do i know? lorenzo is my uncle. Considering i grew up in there and used to help out I can guarentee you there is nothing cheap about the sauce or cheese you ignorant twerp- "a laundry mat for mob cash" youre funny and thats ridiculous.

also for everyone wondering why there arent seats- there were seats for years but legally if you have seats in a restaurant you have to also have a public bathroom. When they had seats little idiots (probably like drfear) used to go in there and shove paper towels in the toilets and sinks causing it to flood. The thing that made them remove the seats was someone set the bathroom on fire one time (a drunken idiot trying to smoke in there) and it caused a lot of damage to the upstairs of the building- it also ruined the old mural of lorenzo on the front.

Lorenzos is a family owned and run business. Theyve been around for decades for a reason- because its great and a great value for the amount of pizza you get.

South Street Sushi

by mefman00 at Citysearch

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.

Eh

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

• Pros: Location
• Cons: Taste

Same pizza as Lazaros, but no where to sit

by Phillyfoodcritic at Citysearch

Love the pizza--- good sauce, giant slices, nice and thin. I guess the location is good(being on south street), but its literally the same pizza as lazaros at 18th and south. Both pizzas are great, but I like to sit down to eat

• Pros: Fast, good 'za
• Cons: A little dirty, few seats
