It was nearly a year ago that I posted about Pizzeria Salvy, one of Philly’s top new pizza purveyors and part of the restaurant empire of Marc Vetri, who has long been the city’s most renowned creator of Italian culinary delights. At that time, Salvy was serving only traditional Neapolitan pies. But Vetri – madContinue reading “A New Favorite Pie in Philly”

Checking Out the Region’s Hottest Cheesesteak
More than ever, there is a steady stream of new restaurants and sandwich shops in the Philly region serving high quality cheesesteaks. The popularity of a more “gourmet” version of the sandwich has spread so that most of these new places use high quality seeded rolls and offer multiple cheese options, including Cooper Sharp. OfContinue reading “Checking Out the Region’s Hottest Cheesesteak”
Trying One of Philly’s Top New Pizzerias
Marc Vetri has been widely recognized as one of Philadelphia’s greatest chefs for a quarter-century. His self-named Vetri Cucina has arguably been the city’s best restaurant for nearly as long. He also opened a couple pizzerias, among other things, at one point but sold those off a few years back. Thankfully, he is back withContinue reading “Trying One of Philly’s Top New Pizzerias”
Back to Northeast Philly for Another Steak and Pie
Joseph’s Pizza Parlor in the Fox Chase section of Northeast Philadelphia goes back to the late 19th century. I first ate there during the 1980s and posted about them last year after they were sold to new owners who made changes to the menu and food. While I wouldn’t hesitate to call the cheesesteak andContinue reading “Back to Northeast Philly for Another Steak and Pie”
Connecticut 2023, Part 2: Eating on the Coast
As enjoyable as our trip had been before we headed to the Connecticut coast late Sunday morning, I was filled with a burning desire to eat some really good food by that point after a few meals that didn’t live up to my expectations. The first thing I had on my mind was a warmContinue reading “Connecticut 2023, Part 2: Eating on the Coast”
Checking Out a Hot New Pizza and Steak Shop
It’s not often that a cheesesteak purveyor gains a big reputation so quickly that I feel a sense of urgency to get there before they are even a month old. But that was the situation that confronted me after seeing a series of online raves about the steaks at Verona Pizza of Maple Glen, Pennsylvania. Continue reading “Checking Out a Hot New Pizza and Steak Shop”
Stopping for Pizza on the Main Line
There are times when food-opportunity knocks and one came my way early last week when I had to run an errand in Wayne, Pennsylvania. The Main Line town, which was named after Revolutionary War general “Mad Anthony” Wayne, also happens to be the home of a pizzeria that was recently added to my restaurant listContinue reading “Stopping for Pizza on the Main Line”
A Different Kind of Pizza Perfection
Since moving from Center City to the suburbs a little over a decade ago, our dining out habits have changed considerably. For instance, we used to walk to most of the restaurants we ate at and generally picked some hot spot in town for special occasions like birthdays. Now we drive to meals and willContinue reading “A Different Kind of Pizza Perfection”
Return to Lillo’s for More Steak and Pie
Many of you already know that there are a lot of restaurants in the Philadelphia area that serve both cheesesteaks and pizza and that I do my best to try each when going to such a place. But there were only two eateries that made both my top ten list for cheesesteaks and top fiveContinue reading “Return to Lillo’s for More Steak and Pie”
Heading To Doylestown, PA, for Steak and Pie
Many of the steaks I’ve posted about came to my attention via the cheesesteak groups on Facebook. There were also some that were either famous enough for me to already know of their existence or that happened to be close to where I live or in a spot I pass by regularly. But every onceContinue reading “Heading To Doylestown, PA, for Steak and Pie”
