As I’ve alluded to periodically, I keep a list of steak shops, pizzerias and other restaurants that I plan on visiting and posting about at some future point. One of the places that’s been on that list for a fairly long time is Gentili’s Pizza and Steaks of Exton, Pennsylvania. Exton is a bit ofContinue reading “New Pizza and Steak Shop Earns High Marks”

Cheesesteak and Pizza Outing Cut in Half
Back in the spring of last year, I posted on what was then the hottest purveyor of cheesesteaks in the Philly region – Johnny’s Pizza of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. The steak I had there was good enough for me to rank it in the upper half of my top twenty list. Yet in light ofContinue reading “Cheesesteak and Pizza Outing Cut in Half”
The Pizza Crew Ventures to South Philly
My pizza crew – friends and former colleagues, Nancy, Craig and Francisco – joined me again last week as we resumed our tour of Philly’s elite pizzerias. This time around, our destination was Pizzata Pizzeria and Birreria. I initially came across drool-worthy photos of the pizza at PIzzata’s Center City location a while back, butContinue reading “The Pizza Crew Ventures to South Philly”
A Taste of New Haven in Philly
I’m sure I’ve made clear in at least one old post that I consider Connecticut – especially the New Haven area – to be the pizza capital of the United States – and probably the world. They serve well-done pies with thin crust that is crispy to the point of brittleness while also providing aContinue reading “A Taste of New Haven in Philly”
Heading to the Lehigh Valley for Neapolitan Pizza
My in-laws live in the Lehigh Valley and we celebrate the majority of our family birthdays and some holidays there. That’s given me the opportunity to post on several restaurants in that area. Our most recent outing was to celebrate the birthday of my brother-in-law, Mike, and for the second time in the past yearContinue reading “Heading to the Lehigh Valley for Neapolitan Pizza”
Hitting a Pair of New Spots for Deli and Pizza
Unforeseen circumstances changed my posting plan for the second week in a row. I had intended to write about two different locations owned by the same Jewish-style deli but had to cancel the second stop on account of feeling under the weather. But I did make it to the other spot, that being The BorschtContinue reading “Hitting a Pair of New Spots for Deli and Pizza”
Continuing Our Survey of Philly’s Elite Pizzerias
This is the third installment in an occasional series of posts on my efforts to sample Philadelphia’s most acclaimed pizzerias along with the help of three friends and longtime former colleagues – Nancy, Francisco and Craig. Our latest stop was Sally in the Fitler Square section of Philadelphia’s Center City. They have regularly shown upContinue reading “Continuing Our Survey of Philly’s Elite Pizzerias”
Will the Verdict Stand on My Favorite Philly Pizza?
It was just this past October that I proclaimed the New York Style cheese pie at Pizzeria Salvy to be the best I’ve had in Philadelphia while throwing in a proviso on the need to try the city’s most acclaimed pizza, which is served at Pizzeria Beddia. I did that with several friends in DecemberContinue reading “Will the Verdict Stand on My Favorite Philly Pizza?”
Juicy as Jaye P. Morgan
With the Eagles’ playoff seed locked in and the season’s final game being meaningless, my wife and I took advantage of a free Sunday afternoon to venture out to a pizza and sandwich shop that has been on my radar for a while. Pop’s Pizzeria of Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, has been receiving its fair shareContinue reading “Juicy as Jaye P. Morgan”
Checking Out Philly’s Most Acclaimed Pizzeria
It was just a couple months ago that I called the New York-style cheese pizza at Pizzeria Salvy my new favorite pie in Philly. However, at the end of that post I added a proviso pointing out that I needed to try the current location of Pizzeria Beddia before I could be confident of thatContinue reading “Checking Out Philly’s Most Acclaimed Pizzeria”
