Emmy Squared Pizza: Queen Village - Philly

"Emmy Squared, a restaurant that hails from New York, is one of the best places for pizza in the neighborhood. They focus on crispy Detroit-style pan pizza, with options like a margarita with piles of creamy burrata, and the hot chicken (which packs enough heat to have you reaching for a few extra sips of your sangria), topped with white barbecue sauce and Nashville-style hot chicken. Arguably the best thing on the menu, though, is the “Le Big Matt” burger. It’s a double patty with American cheese, pickles, and something called “sammy sauce,” and it’s our favorite burger in the entire neighborhood." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"Brussels Sprouts Salad Queen Village’s Emmy Squared is mostly known for its pizza. But they also make a great salad full of brussels sprouts, cashews, pickled red onions, and dried cherries. So it’s an ideal counterpart to a slice dripping with mozzarella. You could always add crispy or grilled chicken to the mix, but the salad stands on its own just fine." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"Parenthood means a lot of pizza. Unfortunately, it usually means a lot of bad pizza—but it doesn’t have to. Head to Emmy Squared in Queen Village for crispy Detroit-style pizza (we’re especially into the margherita with piles of creamy burrata, but you can’t go wrong here). They also make a solid burger (Le Big Matt), plus waffle fries, mozz sticks, and crispy chicken bites for those with a less, ahem, sophisticated palate. Head up to the rooftop when it’s nice out and then walk a few blocks to John's Water Ice for dessert after dinner." - alison kessler

"Queen Village’s Emmy Squared has a few things going for it: they serve fantastic Detroit-style pan pizza and a rooftop where you can eat a crackly-edged slice while sipping on a frozen cocktail or two. Unlike some other rooftop spots, the tables here are first come, first serve. So if you come for weekend brunch filled with pitchers of Bloody Mary and a few slices of The Hangover pie topped with creamy smoked gouda, fried eggs, and bacon, prepare to come early to grab a seat. Outside of pizza, they have small plates like eggplant parm, salads, and a Nashville hot katsu sandwich that’s drenched in white ‘bama sauce." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"In Queen Village, Emmy Squared serves burgers and Detroit-style pizza at sidewalk tables and on the roof, which is open for dinner daily from spring through fall, depending on the weather." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff
