Philly Pizza Joint Is 4th Best New Restaurant In US: Esquire

PHILADELPHIA — Esquire Magazine recently published a list of 2019's best new restaurants in the country. And a Philadelphia pizza spot that has earned many accolades and widespread recognition made the list.

Esquire's Best New Restaurants in America f0r 2019 includes 22 eateries across the United States.

And ranked at No. 4 is Philadelphia's pizza powerhouse Pizzeria Beddia.

Here's what Esquire said about Beddia:

Pizzeria Beddia would probably snatch a spot on this list for the mere fact that it has a party room where you can throw down with magnums of wine and a “hoagie omakase experience,” as the place advertises it. (Am I dreaming?) But even if you simply dine with the regular crowd, chef Joe Beddia’s geeked-out approach to cheese-and-crust mastery (a recent summer pie involved New Jersey peaches and a garlic-thyme cream), on-the-nose appetizers like a bowl of Judion beans bathing in olive oil, and a gently curveballing wine list mean that you will only fail to enjoy your dinner if you happen to be dead inside.

Beddia went from a small operation serving a limited number of pies only a few nights a week to a full-fledged sit down restaurant after it's pies earned widespread praise.

The pizza joint was recently named one of the "World's Greatest Places" by Time Magazine.

It also was nominated for Bon Appétit's 'Hot 10' list.

The Daily Meal named it the best pizza in Pennsylvania once too.
