Fodor's Expert Review Pizzeria Beddia

The most talked-about restaurant in Philadelphia is Pizzeria Beddia—Bon Appétit named it the best pizza place in America. This second iteration, just blocks away from Beddia's first spot, is a different world, with more than 100 seats, the ability to make reservations, and a larger menu that goes beyond pizza—think natural wines, flavorful salads, and creamier-than-you-can-ever-imagine soft serve. The pizza is the focal point, though, with options like a classic red pie with pepperoni, a red-sauce-based anchovy pizza, and the white pie, made with local cream and topped with garlic and greens. A wait is to be expected, but a number of tables are held for walk-ins every night. For dining enthusiasts, the tucked-away hoagie room is the table to snag. The private dining space is meant for a minimum of six people and features a handcrafted menu of cocktails, apps, off-the-menu hoagies, pizza, and ice cream.
