Great vegan pizza

The atmosphere is old-school pizza-by-the-slice funky, with high-energy punk playing in the background (at a volume that allows for easy conversation). The pizza slices friends and I had was all delicious and very satisfying. Same with The Parm sandwich (mock deep fried "chicken" with cheese). Fast service at the counter, with a community feel. Very reasonably priced.

Pros: Great vegan pizza, Reasonably priced , Interesting environment

A++

Easily one of the best vegan pizza places in Philadelphia! Vegan wings have gotten a bit too crispy in the last year and a half. Great variety of toppings. I also love the sister company 20th street pizza

Great Lunch Spot

We had two pizzas and a calzone to share. The pizza was great, and the calzone was absolutely delicious. This is a small pizzeria with counter service, but the food was really high quality. They also had gourmet bottled sodas that my group liked so much that they bought some to go when we left.

Pros: delicious food, all options were vegan

Cons: might be hard to park in this area , small place with limited seating

Awesome wings

This is a nice vegan comfort food place. I love their wings - crispy - each flavor is incredibly good. The cheesesteak was also good. They have interesting sodas as well. The pizza was okay. The service was fast. Parking in downtown can be tough.

Pros: awesome wings, nice cheesesteak, interesting sodas

Cons: parking is tough, one bathroom - hands get messy with wings

⭐️ (the real review)

This place must be great for take out. Everyone in the restaurant was grumpy, not helpful, and the food was So So at best.

Looked like a large selection. But everything we tried was salty AF.

My family went there with a family friend (non vegan) he was asked to leave (12 year old) because he had something that wasn’t vegan. Totally handled unprofessionally and to be honest (at no fault to the restaurant) the customers were even rude.

Pros: Lots of options

Cons: Salty , Expensive, Rude

Disappointing

Used to really love this place when they had a different menu. The workers were always a little rude, but we didn’t mind because the food was so good. That is just not the case anymore. After getting rid of my favorite sandwich, I won’t be returning.

Vegan Pizza

I’ve been here a handful of times and remain a fan! Love the relaxed atmosphere and the pizza is always delicious. I have not branched out to try other food on the menu, such as the cauliflower wings, because I’ve heard that they aren’t the greatest. Overall, I enjoy this restaurant!

Pros: All vegan!

I want to like it

I want to like Blackbird so badly, however I find it
Overpriced for the quality and have had rude staff on both occasions. The wings are pale in comparison to the ones at Triangle Tavern

Meh

Food was disappointing. Very. The onions on the Philly cheesesteaks were raw onions. The country fried sandwich was good. We waited over 30 minutes for food to be ready.

Pros: Everything is vegan

Cons: Super slow

Good pizza but too much crust

Had the mushroom pizza. Loved the flavors and toppings but there was just so much crust that I felt I lost about a third of my pizza to it... I think I was just unlucky because I see in the photos that this isn't always the case.

Pros: Quality toppings

Cons: Too much crust, Only 2 flavours available when we went in

Pizza AND cheesesteaks!

Found this spot on happy cow. Worth the trip! Walking distance from Franklin Music Hall (Electric Factory). We ordered extra so we’d have leftovers that night!

Pros: Plenty of seating, Perfect flat pizza

Delicious-just not what I expected

I came here on my trip to Philly to try their very popular vegan cheesesteake! It was good, but honestly didn't live up to my expectations. It was still very delicious, I just think maybe it wasn't for me, and going into trying it after hearing such good things I just wasn't "wowed" like I expected to be. The bread was very good, I personally think there could have been a bit more of the cheese sauce in there but the overall flavor of everything was good! That being said, I actually enjoyed their vegan wings more than the cheesesteak, we got the rootbeer bbq and they were absolutely delicious! They were soft in the middle and had some crunchy bits from the breading, the sauce and cucumber ranch given for dipping was amazing! The pizza was also very good. The mushroom one tasted just like a classic garlicy pizza! Sooo good! The spicy bbq was super good too but be warned it is SPICY! A little too spicy for me but if you like heat it is definitely the pizza for you! I love the way the shop is set up like a traditional pizza shop, nothing is different except everything is vegan! Overall I really enjoyed the food, and will definitely be back next time I'm in Philly!

Pros: Fresh food, Great pizza, Amazing wings

Cons: A little pricey

A Little Disappointed

Our family of 4 are all vegan with different tastes, but we all love pizza, so I thought this place would be perfect. We ordered 4 pizzas and a side of cheese fries. I personally loved their cheese fries. The pizza was slightly disappointing. They were out of the first 2 pizzas I wanted to order...they don't serve them anymore apparently, so they really need to change their menu. They also made my pizza wrong, by putting mushrooms on it, which I ordered it without. The whole family agreed that their pizza was just ok. I might come back, but would probably order another menu item other than the pizza. Before leaving, we bought some whoopie pies (dessert), which were amazing and a nice treat that the kids really enjoyed.

Pros: all vegan menu, good treats, comfort food

Cons: food was only ok

Disappointing.

We were super excited to eat earlier. The menu had great salads, sandwiches and hoagies, in addition to their pizzas. We are a family of four, all vegan, with different food tastes, so this sounded perfect. Upon arriving, they informed us that they were out of three of the four salads on the menu, and had no Caesar dressing for the Caesar salad that was on the menu. They couldn’t make most of their sandwiches either. Attitude was dismissive and borderline rude. We will not be returning.

Worth a Try!!

Stopped in for lunch on a Friday, I could see it being very difficult to get in at night or on a weekend. I had a the cheesesteak, my bf had the chicken parm sandwich & we shared the habanero buffalo wings. Everything was very good, the sandwiches were big enough to share. They have a good variety of pizzas slices available. We will definitely be back to try them out.

Pros: All vegan menu, Sandwiches are big enough to share

Cons: Small, so it could be difficult to get a table

This place is just always amazing. The best chicken parm sandwich i have ever had; nothing has ever beat it. I have never had anything bad here. Pizza is always amazing including the haymaker, fungi and cheesesteak pizza. Definitely worth the trip into the city.

Pros: Great vegan options , Friendly, Amazing food

Incredible!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. The pizza was awesome and the cheesesteak straight up blew my mind. I wish I still lived in Philly so I could eat here all the time.

Pros: Everything
