This is one of my "go-to" places in Manayunk! I'm a vegetarian and my husband is a meat-eater, so when we find a place with great options for us, it's a win! Online order too- www.thecouchtomato.com

Their $5 pizza and cocktails specials are SO worth it. Great way to start a night out. A little quiet but very nice place. Their MTO sandwiches are bomb (especially chicken ). Also amazing tomato soup !

Brittany Fisher

I love the personalization options. You can take any of the basics (salad , wrap , pizza , calzone , etc.) and create whatever you fancy with a variety of ingredients. The calzones are the best and huge!

Miralee Schulte

Best place in the area for GF food. Pizza , appetizer sliders (buns ), desserts . Cheesy garlic GF bread is absolutely delicious! Best GF bread I have ever had and I have tried a lot.

Heather Tolvay
