STELLAR experience!!! This pizza tied Angelo’s for me (also in Philly). The undercarriage was better (nice, thin, and crunchy), and the crust was charred, airy, and overall beyond satisfying to fold! The only thing that didn’t make this the best pizza I have ever had was the lack of basil/sweetness in the sauce, but honestly, that’s scraping the bottom of the barrel in the name of being stringent and critical in my ratings. This pizza truly is legendary.
But the cheesesteak. Holy shit. That IS the best cheesesteak I have ever had, and I mustered up the courage to give that a 9.6! The roll was extra toasty and filled with seeds (on par with Angelo’s), the steak itself is firmly on another level with how thick, fatty, tender, and generous portions with a PERFECT cheese distribution. The steak alone, I can say with confidence, is the best cheesesteak meat out of the many cheesesteak adventures. The SOLE thing that prevented me from pulling out the 10 (which, I know, is a daring thought, but please do not take away from the fact that my standards are incredibly high) was the onions. I wish they were caramelized just a bit more to add a sweetness dimension.
Do not walk. RUN to this fantastic Philly establishment. My socks have been completely and utterly knocked off.
