Pazzo Pazzo
84.90
Score
1614 Cecil B. Moore Ave Frnt 1, Philadelphia, PA 19121, USA

Pazzo Pazzo's cheesesteaks arrive as a substantial offering, the beef mingling with onions and melted cheese in a compact roll. The counter staff demonstrated a notable attentiveness, patient with ordering questions.

A recent pie, however, arrived noticeably cold, requiring reheating. The wings accompanying it were overcooked, their texture desiccated. This inconsistency marks a departure from previous quality.

The environment at Cecil B. Moore is casual, conducive to a quick meal. The cashier's friendly demeanor, however, elevated the overall visit.

Score
108 S 20th St, Philadelphia, PA 19103, USA

The sourdough crust at 20th Street Pizza is paper-thin, a foundation for intentionally crafted pie flavors. Specific noteworthy combinations include the Haymaker, featuring garlic sauce, vegan mozzarella, Italian sausage, red onion, and tomato sauce, and the Funghi, which pairs garlic sauce, vegan mozzarella, cashew cheese, assorted mushrooms, and sweet onions. The Balboa presents cashew cheese, crushed meatballs, roasted tomato, pistachio pesto, and arugula.

Beyond the pizzas, an Italian salad offers a complementary counterpoint, sometimes used as a topping to alter the taste experience. Garlic knots are a consistent accompaniment. Homemade soft-serve ice cream concludes the meal, with large cookies also available. The establishment maintains kosher certification from IKC and operates entirely vegan.

Badamo’s Pizza - Northside
84.05
Score
1106 Federal St, Pittsburgh, PA 15212, USA

Badamo's Pizza - Northside offers a Sicilian pie that straddles New York and Detroit styles, featuring characteristic crispy edges. The house marinara distinguishes its pies.

The crust achieves a light crispness, a contrast to heavier, filling variations. One patron noted a consistent preference for thinner, greasier slices from the warming rack, despite a prior excellent experience with a thicker, fluffier style.

The white Sicilian slice, incorporating mushrooms and red peppers, presents a mildly spicy profile. While primarily a takeout establishment, limited standing room is available.
