A great option for casual Neapolitan style pizza. A good spot for lunch with the family. If you’re driving in, there is a parking lot directly across from the restaurant that they offer validation for. Outdoor dining available.

The crust on this pizza is fluffy with some charring on the edges. The red sauce is uncooked which is common on Neapolitan pizza but I think this required a little more top heat in the cooking process to really pull it off in terms of flavor. I tried four different pies: two red sauce and two white. The classic Margherita, Maurizio (mozzarella, rosemary, olive oil, sea salt), Pepperoni, and the Spinach (baby spinach, onion, roasted garlic, mozzarella, ricotta fonduta, parmigiano, chili flake).

I definitely recommend the spinach pie, it was my favorite. It was creamy and garlicky. The pepperoni was also a hit. The pepperoni quality was good and the cups curled just perfectly with a little crisp on the edges. I ordered the Metro (large) Margherita pie and small pie for the other three. I think that the crust on the small pies were a little better so I would recommend that you order the small.

Overall, I liked the pies here and think it’s a good option to grab a meal here when in Philly. It doesn’t blow you away, but it’s a nice and satisfactory meal.
