"When you hear “hoagie shop,” you probably picture a small corner deli. But as Patrick Swayze once said, nobody puts hoagies in the corner. Okay, maybe he didn't say that. Either way, Fishtown's Pizzeria Beddia offers a two-hour hoagie omakase experience in their dedicated hoagie room, complete with a full bar and meat-slicing station. You and five friends will take a tour of the menu’s standouts, stopping by the tangy hunks of tomato pie, crunchy chicory salad, and a few signature pizzas. But it’s the perfectly crafted hoagies, like the roasted vegetable with marinated mushrooms and sesame aioli or the cured meat-loaded Italian, that will (nearly) ruin eating hoagies anywhere else." - alison kessler, candis mclean
