Three friends. Three pizza styles. One obsession. We eat, score, and rank the best pizza in Philadelphia — honestly.
The sauce is the best thing on the menu — possibly the best we've had. The margherita with proper fresh mozzarella would be a showstopper. As it stands: still a very good pizza, and the best value we've found on South Street.
Three independent rankings — one per style. Never cross-compared.
