Pizzata Pizzeria

Amazing. Portnoy undersold it

God has been good to us. Bless Pizzata and her creators. This slice is nothing short of the goodness of all things mankind has to offer. Sweet hot honey from the Lord’s bees, pepperoni from the great Italian masters of the renaissance, soft burrata from the Cows from heaven, and barely risen dough from the first Seder.

🔔PHILLY’S PHINEST ALERT🔔 Pizzata Pizzeria (loosely translated as “pizza party” in Italian) opened in 2020 by 2 friends, Davide Lubrano (a 3rd generation pizzaiolo from Naples, Italy who trained at the Roman Pizza Academy) & Vinny Gallagher who taught himself how to make natural-leavened dough in San Francisco, California. They take their dough very seriously here, with a long & slow 5-day fermentation process that naturally leavens the dough giving it more flavor & aroma while baking, as well as making it easier to digest. Aesthetically awesome, this is a 16” artisan New York style round pizza. Surprisingly thinnish, the dough is fantastically firm with a beautifully blackened & charred undercarriage to go along with zero flop & dynamite crisp, as well as a fabulously flavorful & crunchy sourdough crust. The amount of care, pride & attention to detail in the dough is clearly evident, providing an outstanding base for the other ingredients. Moderately creamy & marvelously melty, the mozzarella cheese has a quality consistency with fantastic flavor as well. A top notch pizza cheese blend, the taste is further enhanced by razor thin shaved Parmesan, a tremendous touch as opposed to the grated powdered parm. A sensationally beautiful blend, the sauce melds really well with the other components. Striking a balance between sweet & savory, the sauce isn’t too sweet, nor is it too salty; light on the seasoning & spice, I wouldn’t mind a little more kick to distinguish itself from standard pizza sauce. Fresh basil & some extra virgin olive oil accentuates the flavor of the sauce, providing a touch of class, a smidge of sexiness & practical use that bolsters the overall tastiness. This is truly quality pizza all-around; it looks as good as tastes & tastes as good as it looks, making it one of the top pies in Philly. No doubt, this is travel-worthy destination pizza, where taste & texture triumph together.

Great Philly pizza. Just a little more spice.

Sauce is good but tastes like it needs a bit of salt. Crust is nice, cheese isn’t anything special, I ordered extra cheese and this is what I got.

Plain was like a 7.9, the speciality pie with hot honey, sausage, pep and Riccotta was like an 8.3-8.5 w- fantastic. Plain is just solid solid pizza but needs sauce, crust is really tasty.

Solid pizza with thin crust and good undercarriage. No flop. You definitely taste the sourdough. It’s not overpowering but the taste is present. Cheese is one the higher end and is a good ratio of sauce and cheese. Dave was right about the sauce. It’s good, solid tomato flavor which is savory and robust but isn’t overly sweet. It’s just missing punch. If the sauce was a little stronger to diminish the sourdough it would be a higher score. I bought an Angelos pizza and this one on the same evening and I got this one second. This was more my style. I actually had one slice of Angelos and immediately ordered this Pizza (having never had either before). Crusty yet very chewy! I never eat the crust but ate all the crust from the slices.

Solid slice. Crispy and light.

Good slice, really light

Lives up to the hype. Crust was mostly well done but slightly uneven. They did crank it out faster than expected since we walked up and ordered. Sauce is very light and has the authentic Italian juicy tomato flavor. Very fresh ingredients

Legit pie. Sourdough crust. One of the best in Philly.

Just a great pie!! Great crisp, awesome cheese-to-sauce ratio, and just a sick pizza spot!

Solid pie, just a little on the heavier side. But definitely top 5 in Philly.

So so good. The taste of the crust is the star, but the bottom isn’t crispy enough to get to an 8 despite the amazing char on the crust. Definitely check them out, I’ll be ordering again.
