Where to Eat Pizza in Philadelphia Right Now

在1月下旬，进入全球大流行的十个月，我去了我一生中最奇怪的日期之一。我的丈夫埃里克（Eric）把我放在一个角落里南费城,我独自一人沿着狭窄的街道with stout red brick row houses, headed to an address that had been texted to me a few hours before. As I approached, a man in black sweatpants and sneakers swung open a storm door and handed me an unmarked brown box in exchange for my crisp twenty.

I took the box back to my husband, who was idling in our black minivan. Inside was a pizza, dappled with fresh mozzarella and torn basil, circled by a crust so perfectly charred that it looked like it came out of a 25,000 dollar pizza oven instead of someone's home kitchen. We ate it in the car without speaking, at 4:25 on a Thursday afternoon. The pizza, from an offbeat operation called帕尔玛（Parmajawn），，，，is transformative. It's so good, in fact, you'd stalk Instagram for a chance to claim a slot on a form they release a couple of times a week, and then stalk around a side street in South Philly looking for the right door.

It's part of the flood of excellent pies in the city that's making费城美国最好的披萨城市之一。

Though we've seen a boom in recent years, Philly has always been home to good pizza. Thanks to a long history of Italian immigration, dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries, we have the second largest Italian-American population in the U.S., according to census data. We claim the oldest Italian restaurant in America:Ralph's，于1900年开放。红肉汁贯穿我们的静脉。在切片接头和老鹰球衣的无处不在之前，有塔克内利的。Fans can still call a day before to reserve the dough at the fifth-generation shop, cranking out brick oven-baked pies since before World War II.Santucci's1959年，开始在著名的方形馅饼，顶部酱汁，近40年，拉罗莎仍然可以从Broad Street的一个谦虚的地方向其厚实的锅烘烤切片悬挂。

Around 2013, Philly started to see what local pizzaiolo Daniel Gutter calls the "new age of pizza."披萨脑厨师马克·维特里（Marc Vetri）于一年前在菲什敦（Fishtown）开业，在艺术博物馆附近开设了那不勒斯风格的馅饼，乔·贝迪亚（Joe Beddia）每天从菲什敦（Fishtown，并在城市的烹饪场景上留下不可磨灭的印记。（您现在可以订购他著名的馅饼 - 以及沙拉和天然葡萄酒 - 从新的化身中桌子上订购，亚搏电竞Pizzeria Beddia)。

Back then, Gutter was making pizzas at the Drexel Hill outpost of local chain Cocco's, where he spent nearly a decade learning and laying the groundwork for his pizza dreams. After working for some of the city's best pizza makers, and doing pop-ups, selling pizzas he made from the wood-fired oven in his parents' backyard, Gutter now runsCircles+Squareswith business partner Alex Carbonell, along with Pizza Plus, Bourbon and Branch, and The Commodore. Their collection of spots is just part of Philly's pizza explosion over the last few years. "Right now, we have a lot of people who are dedicated to using high-quality ingredients," says Joe Beddia. "In 2013, you couldn't put that many great pizzas on one hand."

Nowadays, you'd need way more hands to count Philly's outstanding pizzas. And it's not just one type of pizza, either. Even with dozens of new pizza shops (and restaurants, pop-ups, and questionably legal South Philly operations) converging to make Philly a truly great pizza town, no one I talked to thinks we're close to saturation. "There's so much room, there could be a pizza shop on every corner making delicious pies and they would all be busy," says Gutter. Beddia agrees. "It's a good time to eat pizza in Philadelphia."
