Philadelphia Spot Among Best Old-School Pizzerias In US

PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia pizzeria was named among the greatest old-school pizzerias in the United States recently.

The Daily Meal recently published its list of the greatest old-school pizzerias in the United States and The Original Tacconelli's Pizzeria in Philly made the list.

Here's what the Daily Meal says about Tacconelli's:

Tacconelli’s, a cute little restaurant with a neon sign in the window, wood paneling on the walls, and a couple quaint dining rooms, serves four pies: tomato (no cheese), regular (a little cheese and sauce), white (salt, pepper, cheese, and garlic), and a Margerita (sic) (fresh basil and mozz). These are wide crusts, liberally sauced and topped, and not uniform. You can customize with spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, pepperoni, sausage, sweet peppers, anchovies, onions, prosciutto, basil and extra cheese — just remember there’s a three-topping max per pie, and that the owner at times prefers a two-topping limit.

Tacconelli's was the only Pennsylvania pizzeria to make the list while 11 New Jersey pizza spots made the list.
