"Pizza places in Philly are as common as random Eagles chants at public events, but for one of the oldest and best pizzas in town, head to the original Tacconell’s. The Port Richmond shop has been making their signature tomato pie and crispy, thin-crust pizza since 1946. While the place is decidedly casual—cash only, BYOB, and blue pleather booths—the ordering process is not. Call ahead to reserve your dough, choose your toppings upon arrival, and wait patiently for your charred pizza. It’s still a one-man, one-brick-oven operation." - alison kessler, candis mclean
