Good article about the dearth of good pizza in Philadelphia.  I’m not a pizza snob, but damn if I don’t miss the New York style pizza I grew up eating.  At least it’s better than the options in Central PA where you choose from Papa Johns or, well, nothing.

My favorite in Philly is probably SliCE, although I’ve yet to try the two new “hot” places, Stella & Zavino.  SliCE’s pizza has a nice crispy crust, great chunky tomato sauce and quality ingredients.
