Philadelphia, PA
- In Philly, Rittenhouse Square has a fair share of pizza shops, which sell old-school traditional pizzas such as Roman-style "al taglio" to Classical Neapolitans. From Pay-By-The Weight places like Alice's Pizza and Restaurant to a classicly trained pizza maker at Pizzata Pizzeria, Rittenhouse is a pizza lover's dream and a great place to grab a slice and hang-out in the square.
The Best Pizza in Rittenhouse
Pizzeria Vetri's – An old-school-style pizzeria serving up traditional Neapolitan pies in a beautiful big-belly oven. With a chewy and crisp, and an excellent tomato sauce topped with fresh mozzarella cheese. It's worth the splurge for that extra pepperoni, trust me. 1615 Chancellor St, Philadelphia, PA 19103
Lazaro's Pizzeria and Grill – This family-friendly spot offers up a delicious thin-crust pizza by the slice. This crust has just the right amount of fold and comes out almost cracker-like and is one of Philly's best foldable pizzas. 1743 South St, Philadelphia, PA 19146
Rione - Roman-style "al taglio" served out of a casual pizza shop with by-the-cut slices served with a wide range of toppings and the perfect amount of crust-crunch and softness. This Roman-style pizza shop must stop in Rittenhouse. Serving up unique by the slice pies such as their prosciutto pizza and a broccoli rabe sausage pizza, with plenty of counter and table seating. 100.5 S 21st St, Philadelphia, PA 19103
Pizzata Pizzeria – Operated by a third-generation pizzaiolo from Naples, Davide Lubrano is a traditionally trained pie-maker from the Roman Pizza Academy. And this place turns-out one of the cities best wood-fired pizza's with a sour crust and very flavorful tomato sauce. The crust is fantastic and can only be described as delicate, light, while chewy, cross between a NY and Neapolitan-style pizza. 240 S 22nd St, Philadelphia, PA 19103
Alice Pizza and Restaurant – Alice's offers up a few different pizzas such as Roman-style "al taglio," along with a great place to grab an espresso, gelato, or a drink at the bar. But the star of this corner shop is the Italian style pizza, which makes you feel like you're on vacation in Rome. The pizza is sold by-the-weight instead of the slice, and you can choose from a wide variety of topping. 235 S 15th St, Philadelphia, PA 19102
