Lucky's Trading Co. is a whole vibe and I love it. I stopped in previously to grab a burger, noticing that there were three menus posted: burgers, hoagies, and pizza. I just had to come back to try all three!
Eda's is a very simple pizzeria with no frills. You can order a plain cheese and add standard toppings like pepperoni, bacon, sausage, etc. There are a handful of speciality pies and one seasonal option.
The staff here aren't just friendly; they're awesome. I love that they proudly brandish tattoos and piercings, bandanas, and that whole old school punk aesthetic. I was dressed correctly when I dropped in. They're total sweethearts and were so willing to chat up this extrovert. I called ahead and my order was ready on time. The chick at the counter encouraged me to try their other location located on Main Street in Manayunk, which I might just have to do soon.
The 18" bacon and garlic came out to $23, which is totally reasonable. It had that brick oven, slightly charred crust and no frills look. It wasn't overly greasy like some joints, but at the same time they were entirely focused on flavor, not trying to make it into health food. The bacon was delicious and I could appreciate the little chunks of garlic that made the pizza mouthwatering. I totally ate half of the pizza while drinking beer and watching a movie, so I can tell you that while it's not super dense or filling, it's extremely tasty.
There's plenty of seating in the trading post, but I get the feeling that most order ahead and take their food to go. This seems like the type of spot straight out of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic and I mean that in the best way possible.
