Thanks for your lunches last week. They just keep getting better and better.
My customers now refer to me as the rep who brings the best lunches!!
thanks!

MARY MOLNAR

My husband I just love everything we order from you and we order a lot, from salads to pizzas, and the staff on the phone is always very upbeat and great. One thing I think is that you should offer banana peppers as a topping…just cause we love them so much on pizzas…keep making great food…thanks the Green Family

I am glad you added small salads to the menu, but you NEED to bring back the tuna nicoise! Also, alot of your salads have fruit or nuts in them– maybe you should add just a “house” salad on the menu (greens, egg, tomato, carrots, broc., cucumber, croutons) :-)

Megan

Couch Tomato has the most fresh ingredients, the best service, the best quality for your buck, but if you could please bring back the salmon we would be back to our die-hard 3-4X/week ordering habits!

I’m new to the Manayunk area and a friend introduced me to The Couch Tomato and oh my goodness, am I ever hooked! The food’s phenomenal, the staff’s attentive and caring, the atmosphere’s fresh and fun - and I just LOVE your establishment! Love, your newest regular :)

Traci

Hey - I know you are looking to expand. They are re-developing Malvern and we would love a place like this on King Street. You would do one heck of a business here, as there is nothing like this around. Check it out

Couch Tomato has the best salad dressing! Please start selling it by the bottle!

3 comments: 1- let people order online.
2: you already have proven yourself as a mistro with Pizza, can you attempt to recreate an old philadelphia classic that has gone to the grave.. Piccalos. Semi risen soft crust with cheese on the bottom and a sweet circular swirl of sauce on top?
3: not an original..chicken or veal parm stromboli…

mike

We need another one of you in the Germantown/East Falls area near Fern Hill Park!

Doug

We love your food and have never had a bad meal. Keep up the good work. Now if you could only add online ordering it would be even better.

Kevin

Our staff enjoys the specialty pizzas and salads from the Couch Tomato, but it would make life so much more convenient if I could place an emailed order, or an online order and get an email back with costs.

Dorothy

I love the couch tomato! It’s great to get a fresh healthy salad that actually looks appetizing! My one suggestion is to post the nutritional information on your website for each item. It would be a big help to those watching the calories!

Also, thanks for adding small size salads!

Amanda

I was made aware of your website and cafe by a neighbor of yours. We have been in email contact concerning business and I mentioned that I hail out of Watertown, NY and he told me about your place and that your family is from there. I now live in Oklahoma and have been out of Watertown since ‘96 having reached Oklahoma via Arizona and New Mexico. I had tears in my eyes when your neighbor was telling me how very good/delicious your pizzas are and after reading your menu it certainly didn’t ease my homesickness for those “Watertown pizzas” that I remember. One cannot find a pizza like I had when I grew up in Watertown and I’ve found nothing that can replace them. Any thoughts on expanding to Oklahoma?
Well, nice to see someone from my hometown being successful in another part of the country. Like I said, our mutual friend Don is promoting your business country wide in fine style with mouth-watering descriptions and praise.
Good luck with your expansion endeavor and with whatever roads you may travel over with your business. Take care. Peace, Cheryl

Cheryl

You guys make the best wraps and pizza around. One stop shop!!! Question though, why do you wrap the wraps the way you do? The ends are next to impossible to eat without making a mess. If you just would wrap the wrap, and then wrap it with paper it would solve all. Again, amazing ingredients and staff, just need a tad adjustment in delivery.

Willie

I’m a big Couch Tomato fan…but what would make me an even bigger fan would be some vegan protein options, or even some low-fat protein options. Tofu, for example, or Boca crumbles, or edamame might be some good vegan options. Or even egg whites and low-fat cheese. Then I really might eat at Couch Tomato everyday!

gina

Couch Tomato Cafe has the best pizza in town! At my office, we order from there at least once a week. I love that you sell Vitamin Water, but could you please include the Energy Tropical Citrus flavor? It gives me the kick I need to wake up after lunch.

Amanda

So a drug rep brought some food into my work and I’s counting calories so I wasn’t sure if I was going to eat anything. The pizza smelled delicious as did the bread. But I saw the salad and HAD to splurge. I finally found where it came from, which I am so happy about but I would appreciate if you could post the calories of each item on this website somewhere because I want to come and eat here all the time because that salad was the best thing ever!!!!
Advice … POST CALORIES

trisha

Please add the option to order online. That would be great. Though, you guys are a pleasure to talk to on the phone also.

Ryan

You guys are great, we’ve been ordering since the beginning. But in reply to one of the other comments - please please listen to the suggestion about bringing back Salmon! Our house of 8 girls would be back to ordering 3-4 times a week too if you did. Also, we tried the new Thai Peanut dressing - we taste the peanut, but no ‘Thai’ - adding cilantro would make it more authentic and delicious (check out local Thai restaurants for ideas, or even Champps’ is surprisingly good).

Steph

Last winter you guys used to serve sweet potato and lentil soup.. any chance thats coming back anytime soon???

Julie

Bring back the Tomato Cilantro soup!!! I love it :)

Liz

Please bring back your South of the Border pizza!!! It is one of my favorite pizzas that I’ve ever had anywhere. The only thing I would change, is maybe get rid of the lettuce.

Marissa

Nutrition facts please!

p.s. the food is delicious

Anonymous

Faster delivery!!! Last time it took me almost an hour to eat the delicous food. Thanks

Sham Potoma

I love this restaurant! The menu is awesome. I order quite frequently and I enjoy everything I get. At first I didn’t care for the bread, but I recently got some and it was awesome.

My suggestion would be to add rotisserie(sp) chicken. That combined with the salads and pizza would be a winning combination.

Charity

Your lunches are so delishes people say so I am writing this to acktualy c if the dinners are nice i am 12

samantha.cosgrave

ummmm you should put chicken in there .

And at the counter you should put 5cent lollies so everyone could pay 5cent just for a simple lollie oh and put all american rejects on as your music or simple plan.You can also sell cd’s(p.s simple plan is my sisters favourite song)

samantha.cosgrave

Please start online ordering soon!!!!!

Anonymous

My only suggestion is that you deliver to LaSalle University. You’d have a ton of business from us; we love your grub!!!!

Kelly

I love all your food.. all I would like to see change is adding nutritional facts to this website. Great food and great service!

Hayden

the couch tomato is fantastic.
wide selection of fresh, delicious food.
staff is friendly and accommodating.
the sweet potato-apple soup is one of the best soups i have ever had. i would consider getting it everyday if they made it more often.
Thanks for the great service and meals!

Gavin

My fav restaurant in Manyaunk!! Really!! But I’m trying to get beach ready and Im really strict, I can’t eat here until I get the nutritional facts!!! Please!!!! :-))

Lea

It doesn’t seem like u listen to ur customers!! Nutrional facts are a must these days!!!

Tia

I just wanted to give the biggest ‘Thank You’ EVER to the staff who was working tonight (Wed. 3/18). My husband dropped in just before closing and the staff still served him and didn’t make him feel like a total idiot for coming in so late. I think most places would have just told us to bugger off. Seriously, truly exceptional customer service! I really mean it. You have my endorsement 100%!

Justine

Please lower your minimum to $10 for delivery - $12 is high especially for just one person.

Anonymous

My favorite place for take out in the area! A few thoughts….1) faster delivery, 2) post your calorie info, and 3) BRING BACK THE EGGPLANT PARM PIZZA!!!!

And what’s with the 20 inch pies going to 18 inches???

Thanks!

Amy

I ordered a pizza last night and wanted 1/2 margherita and 1/2 regular pepporoni. I wasn’t sure if they were able to do that, so I asked, and they in fact said they could do it. I get home and see that they simply made a regular pizza, threw pepperoni on one side and tomoatoes, basil and a couple mozzarella slices on the other. This was not the margherita pizza I have come to expect from this place. If you are going to charge $20.00 for a pizza, get it right!

Mike

I love your salads but can not read your menu when I go online help.

Phyllis Hibberd

you guys should be on facebook, too. big fan of your pizza and salads.

Arch Dumenigo

I just recieved another delivery order and sadly, this is the 3rd time in the last week or so that the order was missing something. Today it was a wheat roll, last time it was the salad dressing and the first time it was a whole lunch order. I love your food, but it’s about $10 for lunch with tip on a delivery order. You have to get it right. Thanks for caring!

Betsy

I forgot my cell at the office tonight by accident and I was thinking it would have been really cool if I could have ordered a deliver order online from your website, for people that do not have access to a phone but still want that delicious scrambler pizza! :-) Just a suggestion…

Jade

Hi - I was wondering if you’d ever think of opening a Couch Tomatoe in New Hope, PA. It’s an upscale town with a main street like Manayunk!

Kelly

Love your pizzas. Could you add capers and anchovies to your list of toppings or add-ons? Only place I can get a pizza with artichokes, capers and anchovies is London UK or add them at home!! Lynne

Lynne

Hey - I think the couch tomato cafe is great and I really love that you deliver . I also think it would be awesome to receive texts from you guys & to actually be able to text in my order would be sick.

Dan

Hi, love your soups! It would be great if you could make the lentil/sweet potato soup or the tomato carrot bisque more often.

Susan

your food is fresh and delicious, but you should make some vegan soup pleasee!

liv

You guys are the most reliable and convenient catering I have dealt with, and I have shared your info with many of my co-workers and other reps I know. Plus, your complimentary salad coupon is a big win! For all of those reasons, and the great customer service, you are my first choice!

Anonymous

I love Couch Tomato but live in So. Jersey. Can you open another Couch Tomato in Jersey. Pretty please??

Amy

I love your salads…but I think they could be even better if you offered SHRIMP as a topping! Also, how about offering cherry or grape tomatoes? They are better than the regular ones!

Samantha

Come to Phoenixville!!! There are no good pizza places up here!

Peter

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE START DELIVERING TO LASALLE UNIVERSITY. TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THERE ARE A TON OF PEOPLE HERE THAT WOULD LOVE TO GIVE YOU THEIR BUSINESS. LET US KNOW!!

Kelly

It would be great if we could order online.

Me

Love, love, LOVE your food! And I love that you deliver to Belmont Hills because not many good places do. What would be really great is if you added online ordering. Please consider it!! Thanks.

Jennifer

ONLINE ORDERING WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL AND TIME SAVING FOR YOU AND YOUR CUSTOMERS!

Anonymous

I am available some evenings to play guitar. I have years of experience.

i play jazz standards and classical. some pop.

Craig Morrison

Craig Morrison

if you could get tofu that’d be awesome! im a vegetarian and when i want to get the wrap versions of the salads i feel like they could use a little somethin else in there!

carly

My roommates and I love couch tomato. They is a great selection of fresh, healthy foods to choose from. The delivery can be a bit slow (about an hour at times!) so I would suggest picking up your food.

Also, just a suggestion, I would love if the nutritional info. (even if it was just calories) was available. As a person that is trying to be mindful of my caloric intake/weight I think this would be really helpful.

Keep up the great work!

PS - The Pear-fection salad is delicious!

Nick

I’m sad that you won’t deliver to my house; I am 2.7 miles away :( According to googlemaps, thats only 8 minutes…

Nicole

PLEASE bring back your creamy chicken noodle soup! It was sooo good :)

Lynda

You should bottle your dressings and sell them. Especially the ranch.

Anonymous

I don’t know if you got rid of the tomato cilantro soup but I love it! You never have it when I go :)

Liza

Dear Couch Tomato,

I moved out of Manayunk and never got to say thank you or goodbye :( So here it goes… Thank You Couch Tomato! You got me through so many munchies and PMS over the past couple of years, I can’t believe that I didn’t even think to thank you and tell you that I’ll miss you so much before I left. I cry a little bit inside every day knowing that your not a phone call away from ordering my delicious Where’s Waldorf wrap with extra pecans and added chicken with that delish popiseed dressing on your wheat wrap and chips on the side! I’ll miss your cheesy bread, I’ll miss your breakfast pizza, colonial mustard, meaty redhead and of course I miss the heck outa ur great, gorgeous delivery guys who would always remember to call when they arrived. I will be back to visit! Stay cool, and don’t go anywhere! You rock! Love you!

Love Forever,

Jade

Jade

I love your sweet potato and lentil soup…it’s awesome!! But I would love to know how many calories is in it. Please post nutrition facts for your food items:)

Alvin

I just wanted to say that your stuff is great. We tried you out for lunch last week and were really pleasantly surprised. Prices were good, and food was amazing. We had the salads, pizzas, and one of us tried the sandwiches, and everything got rave reviews. We will definitely return!

anthony

I just had your Sweet Potato soup. It was absolutely delicious! I hope you keep making it so I can keep ordering it : )))

Tara

Tara

I thoroughly enjoy your salads and wraps. Your dressing is divine. Do you sell bottles of your dressing( Expecially the cesar)If not you should… it is just that good. Oh and I love your cesar salad. I wish you had a shrimp cesar and a chicken cesar.

Thanks

S.J

Sharell

You guys have the best food! All I would suggest would be to post nutrition information, online at least if not in the restaurant.

Thanks, Maria

Maria

I just wanted to say how much I looooove your restaurant. I really wish you would consider expanding, especially to Austin, TX since that is now where I live and I have been craving your salads like crazy!!!

Lisa

I love you guys and order at least once a week for lunch and it would be so helpful if you had nutrition guide to all of your salads. Thanks for doing the half salads too..they are the best when you are not super hungry. :)

Heather

I moved from Manayunk to Fitler Square/Rittenhouse area in Philadelphia and I miss Couch Tomato! You should consider opening another cafe in that area!

Laura

My Pizza suggestion…

I love a plain cheese pizza but on the side, I love tuna salad. I suggest you serve this pizza with a container of tuna salad on the side and a fork to scoop out the tuna and top the pizza while you eat it! Strange but delishiously..true. Would I lie to you? Thanks, Donna

Donna

You guys have the best soups in the world! I have always been hooked, but they just get better. My husband would also like me to add that you have the best pizza around!

Rebecca

You should expand to multiple locations. Bryn Mawr is my first suggestion. Your salads are amazing. If you were closer I’d eat salad multiple times a week. Thanks for making salads delicious.

Amanda

Will you add gluten free pizza shells to your menu?

dee

Bottle your Lite Basalmic Dressing my friends and I would buy it all the time!

Anonymous

Everytime my sister and I come to Philadelphia, one of our required stops is the Couch Tomato in Manayunk for the Garden of Eden pizza. We were extremely saddened to find out it has been taken off the menu. You HAVE to bring the Garden of Eden pizza back! We come all the way from Washington, DC to get that pizza! It is literally the best pizza we’ve ever had. We LOVE the Couch Tomato, and while our favorite pizza may be gone (hopefully not for good), we’ll still come back to our favorite pizza place every trip!

Stephanie

I just realized you were a BYOB. I think you should do more to promote this aspect of your business.

robert

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed going to The Couch Tomato Cafe today. I met a very nice guy named Mike and he treated me like I was the only customer in the place. He was courteous and kind and I really felt like part of the community. I hope my move to the area works out and I can come and enjoy more of this great atmosphere and of course, the food, very soon!

shirley

Hi,
bought a Travelzoo deal whuch stated a ‘up to $31 value” for $15 10 inch pizza, 2 drinks a large salad. I redeemed it last week 9th (I think) and was sadly disappointed -also disgusted that it wasnt special deal at all since your menu had almost an identical offer with an extra cookie included for $15.99. So why I dont understand that you have a time limit on this offer for $15 -i guess 2 drinks make people think tis’ a meal for 2 people and i am sad to say it is not nearly enough. The pizza is thin and not exactly loaded with stuff,the large salad is a regular by my experience-some of the strawberry slices were wilty and same with the spinach(not the freshest)and mushrooms. The pizza itself-crust was hot but the ingredients were not thoroughly heated-both cheeses seem to be just sitting on top of the pie waiting for rehearsal? I am sad to say I did NOT enjoy my meal.
I really feel cheated. I drove 50 min each way, no parking to be found,saw your restaurant and was glad i didnt bring a guest to dine in-so I ordered out and tasted the pizza in the car sinc ei was hungry by then and was so mad that the cheese wasnt hot and heated thoroughly-i like my pizza gushing with piping hot drooling cheese. the ricotta (i think) was just squirted on in squilly pattern? (like worms) why?
YOu think I can get my money back? thank you

joanne rowland

Bring back the Col. Mustard pizza and the Spicy Honey Ranch dressing for salads. Only things I order. F the panini’s.

Anthony

High-gluten crust might taste great, but for someone with gluten sensitivity and/or celiac disease, which is being diagnosed more frequently now that the medical community knows more about it, it is literally sickening. How about offering gluten-free options so everyone can equally share the joy of your awesome food?!

Lorraine

Couch Tomato,
You are incredible. Your salad making is perfection. I could eat your Cobb salad all day every day. Please come to Cambridge, MA!!

Nora

I love this place but wish that you could publish the nutrition info. I know pizza is bad, but I prefer to know exactly what I’m eating! Thanks for listening.

Ashley

PLEASE get Daiya Vegan Cheese - It’s GMO and SOY FREE and is the BEST TASTING fake cheese I ever ate! It comes in Mozzarella, Chedder, and Pepper Jack. Ed’s Buffalo Wings & Pizza on Lancaster Ave and Blackbird Pizza on S. 6th Street use this and it’s fantastic! Check out Blackbird Pizza’s online menu to see what the sell - all is vegan. With so much TOXINS now in our food, more people are concerned about their safety, especially radioactive contamination of ALL dairy products. Ben & Jerry’s Vanilla Ice Cream contains up to 2000 times the limit of dioxin in it, because the cows graze outdoors and the grass get polluted - same with Fukushima fallout. Dairy and meat products are the most dangerous to eat.

DONNA S

I Love the couch tomato i go there every cance i get the only sugestion is a kids menue you know for baby tomatos

Anna

We do carry it! I am sorry it was missed at your last visit, however please be sure to ask and you will find that we do use Daiya! We look forward to seeing you again soon to try it out!

craig

My boyfriend and I come to Couch Tomato once to twice a week. We love the food and customer service. Unlike chain restaurants, which we never go to, CT has excellent quality and creativity of the food it serves. I never order chicken dishes at cafes if fear of it being fatty or processed but at CT, I never had this experience.

The only suggestion I will make is that it I think CT should consider offering a student and military discount. Many students frequent Manayunk and to stay competitive with other businesses, offering students a discount may be a way. My boyfriend is an Army Officer and so a military discount is something we look for in businesses; not so much for the monetary benefit but for the recognition to those who serve our country. We like to support businesses that support us as military men and women.

My boyfriend and I look forward to the opening of the Tomato Cafe!

Thank you,

Amanda

Amanda

I love the Couch Tomato and so does my picky husband! It’s turned into a serious addiction. I’m making one teeny suggestion as a gluten intolerant vegan: maybe consider offering GF ‘za? Or maybe a GF roll to go with those salads I’ve been thoroughly enjoying. Think about it!

Sarah

OMG I just had your Carrot and Lentil Curry soup and it is soooooooo good! Seriously! I want to buy it in bulk so I never run out.

And I just found out I am sensitive to gluten…please think about adding some gluten free options to your menu. Thank you!!!

Mary Russell

We are actually working on a new 99.9% gluten free pizza! Stay tuned!

craig

Thank you for providing great service and a fantastic atmosphere! Love the food- yumm!!! Good luck w the grand success of new restaurant upstairs- it is great up there!

Avril

I love the salads at Couch Tomato! I have had very few complaints with my food from there, my only suggestion would be to offer the nutritional information for the food. I am trying to watch what I eat, as many people are, and I know that If I knew more, I would most likely order from here more.

Amanda

Love your food guys. But would love even more if there was a sheet of nutritional information (calories, sodium, fat, etc) for your foods. It would help people to make better decisions for their dietary needs, especially since you make your products onsite.

Meghan

Absolutely LOVE your salads,but wish the nutritional content was posted with each menu item.

Jenna

The soup and salads are always so fresh. Love the variety of salads. Your tomato basil soup is the best. Today I had the Florentina Pizza and it was delicious. I always love the pear fection salad. Today I tried the Where’s Waldorf salad and it was very tasty. Loved the candied pecans.

Grace

PLEASE DO NOT POST THIS—I DID A YELP REVIEW. I just wanted to let you know that Erin was fabulous tonight. She was that server that is present when you need her, gives you all her best recommendations on all aspects of the menu, and was friendly and professional!! Kudos to her!! I dined with a party of 5 and all of us were talking about how fabulous she was after dinner!

Jennifer

Trying to find calorie count in What about Cobb salad?

nina

Please stop taking things off the menu. So far everything I love has been taken off. Taco Beef for Paco Taco Salad - Gone. Tried it with the chicken and there is virtually no taco taste to it at all. Buffalo Chicken Dip - Gone. Adding Steak to a salad or wrap - Gone. And more recently and most disappointing the signature sandwiches. Brees Knees - Gone. Every time I fall in love with something on the menu it disappears.

Bernadette

It would be great if you had nutrition facts available - especially on your website.
thank you!

Melissa
