Philly

Philadelphia (and outlying area) pizzerias we have been patronizing since the 1960s (year indicates our first visit)

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, 2014
Coal oven fired pizza, known for super well-done crust. It's extra crispy with a great sauce. The cauliflower and eggplant pizzas are also excellent.

Arpeggio in Spring House, 1996
Wood burning oven creating lovely specialty pizzas (along with a full menu of Italian and Mediterranean dishes.

Brigantessa, 2015, 2016
Sauce is the star with the dough a close second. Great pizza along with an unusual menu of southern Italian specialties.

Charlie's in Norristown, 1968
Home of the original red top. Could be a huge nostalgia factor here, but it was recently voted best "old school" pizza joint by Philadelphia Magazine.

Jules Thin Crust in Montgomeryville, 2016
Delightful and delicious -- a tiny, family-owned spot that serves up super healthy slices with an amazing variety. Great for families.

Pizza Brain, 2016
Noted for it's world's largest pizza museum. Good crust, but smoky flavored sauce and mediocre cheese. Others rave about the toppings.

Pizza Box, 2000
Great spot for unusual slices. The chicken parm pizza is solid. The crust holds up nicely to all the toppings.

Pizzeria Beddia, September 2016
Limited opening times, only 40 pies a night. But it's probably worth checking out -- a very unique pizza experience.

Pizzeria Vetri, September 2016
The dough is the star. Light and delicious - you'll want to order two.

Tacconelli's Pizzeria, 2012
Have to pre-order your dough to participate in the cult following. Pizza is okay, probably not worth the hassle of pre-planning and no parking.
