heard from a friend that Lione's was better at pizza and cheese steak than my recommendations. Well, I was underwhelmed. The pizza was hot, cheesy, and looked good, but the sauce was weak, the crust was doughy, and the cheese was weak for being a mozzarella. My mind went straight to comparing it to chain store pizza like Domino's or Season's. That's either very good for them, but not good for Lione's. At over $20 for a plain pie, you do the math. I ordered a large cheese steak. Grilled onion and a seeded roll were both up charges. Brought the sandwich to close to $20 with tax. At that price compared to $9-10 cheese steaks in the area I expected a monster sandwich. Look at the pictures... what happened to the roll? Was it gutted? Where was the size? Okay, must be tasty right? The meat was so chopped up I probably could have given it to our baby as baby food. Flavor was good, but not at that price. Where does all that extra price go? Lots of employees standing around. Lots of pretty self promoting sales signs. Nice place.

7.9

I’ve had my fair share of great pizzas, including some of Dave’s 9s, so when I saw the TikTok videos from Lioni’s owner, I figured it was time to give this spot a try. I ordered three things: a cheese pizza, the tomato pie, and a cheesesteak. Cheese Pizza The pizza was solid. Good flavor, a light flop, and a sauce that leaned on the sweeter side. It’s better than your standard “football pizza,” but it doesn’t quite reach the legendary tier of places like Angelo’s or John’s on Bleeker. Still, it’s a reliable, well-made pie that I’d order again. Score: 7.9 Tomato Pie This one stood out more. The sweet sauce worked well here, the crust had a nice crunch, and the dough was fluffy and light. It delivered a satisfying bite that made me go back for seconds. Score: 8.1 Cheesesteak This was the weakest of the bunch. The bread was soft, but the steak itself lacked flavor and the cheese was barely noticeable. Not a bad sandwich, but I’ve definitely had better cheesesteaks in the Philly area. Score: 7.5 Atmosphere & Service The place was buzzing when I went, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. That vibe alone makes you want to come back. Overall Experience: 8.4 Would I return? Yes. Next time, I’d skip the cheesesteak and try some other menu items, but the pizza and tomato pie are worth another visit.
