The Best Restaurants In South Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation
"Jumping through hoops to secure a meal tends to make the food taste worse. But CJ&D’s Trenton-style pies are so good, it’s well worth the trouble of getting one. The South Philly pizzeria is hidden inside Cartesian Brewing, only accepts orders in person, and makes each of its four types of pies one at a time. For the uninitiated, Trenton-style means cheese is laid directly on top of the dough, and then covered in sauce. We’re partial to the white pizza, but you can’t go wrong here. The crust is a thin and crunchy, no-flop situation—it holds up even under the creamy mozzarella, tangy crushed tomato sauce, and juicy pepperoni cups—and each slice is well-lined with puffs of char bubbles along the edges. So if you’re dedicating time to getting this pizza, which you absolutely should, don’t just order one. By the time you secure it, you’re going to want more." - candis mclean, alison kessler
