"On the surface, Down North Pizza is an unassuming pizzeria. The walls are decorated with art from Philly artists and there are just a handful of stools and tables inside. But that's not all. The place has received a hefty dose of media attention and hosts some stellar collaborations with chefs like Zahav’s Michael Solomonov, so expect folks from across city and state lines. The Detroit style pies, which have a thick crust, are perfectly executed and come with names that nod to Philly’s musicians and their songs. For something simple, order No Betta Love with four cheeses and homemade “norf sauce.” Come for the community, stay for the pizza." - Devra Ferst
