Philadelphia's pizza craze has reached bubble territory with the likes of Capofitto, Square Pie and Brigantessa all opening in the last few weeks, and Pizzeria Vetri, Bufad and several others not too long before them. It's as if the pizza gods are trying to make up for years of limited options by ensuring a quality place is on every city block.
We're big fans of the bubble like anyone else, but as pizza simpletons we take with a grain of salt the constant
in-your-face debate about the best pie. It's easy to tell when pizza is bad. But as one of the greatest foods on Earth, pizza inadvertently imposes a real challenge in separating the "best" from 2nd, 3rd and even 4th best - especially when so many of today's popular pies are similar in style (ultra-thin Neapolitan being all the rage right now).
To help you sample some of the "best" pizza in Philly - new and old - our next two blog posts will share eight great thin and thick crust pizzas.
Let's start with some of our favorite thin crust pies, in no particular order:
Nomad's Margarita pizza. Now with two locations and a food
truck, Nomad's Neapolitan-style pizza is never more than a few steps
away. And it's super light so you can polish off this whole sucker by
yourself. Many say it's the "best" and most authentic Neapolitan in Philly but you should
decide that for yourself.
