The 15 Best Restaurants In Kensington - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Char is a spot where you could linger, but you’ll have to grab your own water when you do (for now, it’s strictly counter service). But when it comes to pizza, this massive shop already has the best in the neighborhood. It’s a one-man show—the owner tosses pepperoni and caramelized onion-loaded pies into the wood-fired oven, and adds the garlic bread crumb finishing touches on a kale caesar salad moments later. So expect a wait when it's crowded or when asking for an extra napkin or two. Six puffy-crusted pies are on the menu, and they’ll all make you fantasize about having a daily pizza party with a guest list of one." - candis mclean, alison kessler
