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”
Heading to Paulie Gee’s for Slices and Nostalgia
Back in early April I wrote about my search for top-notch slice shops in the Philly region. While the area isn’t hurting for good pizzerias, many of the better ones don’t offer slices and I don’t always want to get an entire pie – especially at lunch-time. Online browsing turned up a couple of placesContinue reading “Heading to Paulie Gee’s for Slices and Nostalgia”
Going Home to My First Pizza
The earliest memories I have of eating pizza – when I was very young in the late 60s – are set at Longhitano’s, a Southampton, PA, pizzeria that my parents and I frequented during our first few years living in that Bucks County town. The address they occupied in those days has passed to aContinue reading “Going Home to My First Pizza”
Finally Getting My Santucci’s Pizza Fix
On more than one occasion, when discussing sauce-on-top – or upside-down – pizza, I’ve mentioned a Philly-area chain of pizzerias called Santucci’s. While it’s taken much longer than it should have, I’m finally getting around to devoting an entire post to them. It’s actually incorrect to refer to them as a single chain. There areContinue reading “Finally Getting My Santucci’s Pizza Fix”
Searching for a Great Slice of Pizza
The current primary topic of interest in my food-obsessed mind is pizza. I’ve been thinking about it increasingly since having the great pie at Joey’s Pizza that I wrote about a couple weeks ago. And as you’d expect, I don’t want to settle for just any pizza. So I started researching the best current optionsContinue reading “Searching for a Great Slice of Pizza”
Revisiting a Favorite for another Steak and Pie
A select few of the many places I’ve visited for cheesesteaks since starting this blog in 2021 have excelled at both steaks and pizza. One was Joey’s Pizza of Thorndale, PA, which served one of the steaks I placed among the honorable mentions on my Top 10 list last year. But that was overshadowed byContinue reading “Revisiting a Favorite for another Steak and Pie”
My Roadfood Pantheon
I had planned on following my usual pattern by going out for some sort of long-roll sandwich yesterday and reporting on it here today. But I’ve got a very hefty meal planned for Friday and my body was telling me to take it easy until then. So to hold you over, I’ve put together aContinue reading “My Roadfood Pantheon”
The Thrill of Eating and the Agony of Defeat
Since moving considerably south of the friends with whom I have traditionally watched football, I’ve usually been on my own for the Super Bowl – and this year was no exception. But I wasn’t going to allow that to get in the way of planning and executing a menu that would be worthy of theContinue reading “The Thrill of Eating and the Agony of Defeat”
