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”
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”
