"In University City, lunch options for the college crowd are endless, but if you’re looking for a few options all in one place, the Franklin’s Table Food Hall features a Delco Steaks, Pitruco, and a few more choices to satisfy lunch interests." - Ernest Owens, Melissa McCart
"Franklin’s Table is a large food hall that has Pitruco Pizza, Goldie, DK Sushi, and High Street Hoagies inside, among others. This means if you stop by with the entire obstetrics department, there’s something for everyone. Excellent wood-fired pizza? Check. Hoagies that are good enough to replace the Quakers mascot? Yes. A fast-casual falafel shop with an unmissable tahini shake? They have that, too. Bring your study group, try them all, and hopefully, a cheesy slice will soften the blow of forgetting your part of this week’s assignment." - Candis R. McLean
"This student- and faculty-filled food hall is packed with quick-serve versions of a who’s who of Philly favorites. Stop by Franklin’s Table for Neapolitan-style pizzas from Pitruco, sushi via the folks behind Double Knot, Goldie’s falafel and shawarma-spiced fries, and tasty sandwiches from High Street on Market." - Caroline Coral, Ernest Owens
"Pitruco Pizza has a food truck in Mt. Airy, but their University city location at Franklin’s Table is the one you should because you won’t need an umbrella on a rainy day to grab a slice and they have tons of seating. Even though they usually have six pizzas on the menu with things like radicchio, mushroom, and spicy garlic, the one you want is the margherita. It scatters a handful of basil and mozzarella over a smooth tomato sauce that’s held in by a golden crust. You can add more toppings if you want, but there’s no reason you should—especially when you taste the perfect streams of orange oil and the velvety mozzarella." - Candis R. McLean
"Dizengoff, slated to debut at Franklin’s Table later this fall, joins CookNSolo’s vegan falafel shop Goldie at the food hall." - Rachel Vigoda
