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”
A New Favorite Pie in Philly
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”
