Gaeta's Tomato Pies

"Gaeta’s is where you can get classic Italian dishes like stromboli and pizza all made in a brick oven. But it’s their pillowy tomato pie that people keep lining up for. It comes in squares of six, 12, and 24 slices—which is perfect for when you're tailgating an Eagles party or hosting your cousin’s baby shower. You can get it topped with cheese, spinach, peppers, and more. No matter which way you go, you’ll eat something that makes you want to burst into song." - candis mclean

"Thanks to a wave of Italian immigrants in the late 1800s and early 1900s, this city is committed to cold, saucy tomato pie. It would be reasonable to eat this thick dough cushion for breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner, especially if you're going to Gaeta’s in the Northeast. The family-run shop makes slices that have textbook char from a brick oven and taste just a little sweet. Pies come with either six, 12, or 24 slices—also known as the perfect accessory for tailgating or sitting on the steps of a rowhome that isn't yours." - candis mclean

But go with the classic, and you’ll eat something that’s as good as watching the Birds score. Almost." - candis mclean

Thankfully, Gaeta’s tomato pie can easily be made vegan if you order ahead of time and ask for no cheese on top. Gaeta’s tomato sauce is sweet, savory, and covers crisp dough from edge to edge. Pick up one of Gaeta’s tomato pies for a must have classic Italian treat in Northeast Philly." - Fabiola Lara
