The 38 Essential Restaurants in Philadelphia
"Pizzeria Beddia has come a long way over the years, from casual carryout to national pizza darling to Fishtown standout. But Joe Beddia’s restaurant is still putting out consistently terrific pies that meet exacting standards. The restaurant gives off an energy of casual warmth, where diners chatter comfortably over glasses of natural wine and plates piled with anchovies, beans, soppressata. Their focaccia-reminiscent take on Philly’s beloved tomato pie remains a worthy testament to the iconic dish, and their zingy salads continue to demonstrate thoughtful precision. And yes, they’re still the home of a hoagie omakase, a $75-per-person experience you could really only find in Philly." - Eater Staff, Ernest Owens
