Mexican & NY-style pizza with al pastor, Mexicana, La Chicana
"Rosario’s Pizzeria has two locations in the city—one in Passyunk Square and the other in the Northeast—and at both, you’ll get Mexican pizza good enough to shout about them from the top of the Rocky Steps, One Liberty, or whatever doubles as a mountaintop around here. They make New York-style pizzas in varieties like al pastor, which gets a kick from the guajillo pepper base, marinated pork, and pineapple, and the Mexicana, topped with avocado and sausage. If you’re in the mood for pizzas with lots of cheese, Oprah's garden’s worth of chilis, and hefty chunks of quality Mexican meat, this is the place." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"In South Philly, Mexican and Italian communities live in mass. So, in a way, pizzas layered with mole and quesillo are an obvious innovation. (We wrote a whole guide about them.) Of all the options in Philly, Rosario’s simply does Mexican pizza best. Instead of getting hit with a waft of steaming marinara, these thin, crispy pies will smack you with cilantro, lime, and sizzled jalapeños. We especially like the version with al pastor or the avocado- and sausage-topped Mexicana, both of which are good enough to shout about from the Philly mountaintops, also known as One Liberty Place." - candis mclean
