The Best Pizzeria In Pennsylvania Is...

PHILADELPHIA – A new list from the Daily Meal found the best pizzerias in every state in the country. And in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia is home to the state's best pie, which can be really hard to come by.

According to The Daily Meal, Pizzeria Beddia as the best pizzeria in the state.

With a near perfect 5-star rating on Yelp based on 191 reviews and a limited number of pies available at any given time, the Fishtown neighborhood pizza joint is a huge hit to locals and tourists.

What makes the pies so desirable, aside from the pizza's amazing taste, is its unique business approach.

Open Wednesday through Saturday from 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., Pizzeria Beddia only takes orders in person, accepts only cash, and only makes 40 pizzas made any given night.

"People have started lining up as early at 4:00 for pizza," the pizzeria's website says.

No slices either. Customers can only order whole pies, which are about 16 inches and serve two.

Check out what some Yelp reviewers have to say about Pizzeria Beddia:

This is a top 3 pizza place in the country. I absolutely love it. I went there a few months ago and I have been dreaming of it ever since. Its been said before but yes you will have to stand in line for about an hour then wait one you order. However, once you finally get it..Its totally worth it! – Guillermo V., Bethesda, Md.

"I have been to pizzeria beddia twice now and I have to say it is by far my favorite pizza in Philly and without question the best pizza in the country. We got in line at 4:30 and they open at 5:30 you put in your order and then you come back and it's heaven in your mouth. Definitely worth the wait and make sure to bring a bottle of champagne to keep yourself warm while you are in mine." – J R., Narberth, Pa.

"The pizza? Everything I hoped it would be. Wonderfully cheesy, and a perfect chewy thin crust. My only complaint was that it had a few charred crust bubbles, but I can overlook that. I preferred the pepperoni to plain, and will likely order full pepp next time. I can't wait to come back." – Meghan A., New York, New York

"Bring cash, get in line, be patient and enjoy the best pizza in Philadelphia! I have been here too many times to count since moving back to Fishtown. The staff is so friendly, accommodating and the freshness is unbelievable. Well, as you may read on here, you can't please everyone but I'm pleased and that's very hard to do." – Dave B., Philadelphia

Pizzeria Beddia owner and chef Joe Beddia even has a book out.
