Pizza and me...go hand and hand. I loved Pizza since I was little. Loved Cheese pizzas; went on to Margarita style as well. Stuffed crust.... once in a while and only homemade. But...when it comes to eating out at a pizzeria...which one was my favorite? Dominos and Pizza Hut do not count.
Sorry, Shaq. I love you too...but I never was a fan of Papa Johns.
I want to talk about one of the restaurants that is still here. They have been here ever since I moved to East Goshen when I was young. It's called Pepper Mill. I remember picking up a pizza after having breakfast with the family on Sundays. It was good pizza. However, it has been years since I have gone there.
I've read they have changed owners, and the ratings are not as good as they used to be.
Another pizza restaurant, not far from home, was Mike's pizza. I would always get a small size pizza, since getting a huge one...I wouldn't finish it at all. We also got sandwiches as well. What happened to Mike? Do I still eat there?
Unlike Pepper Mill, it's been a while since I had a slice at Mike's. What do I think of it...I miss it and I wouldn't mind trying it again.
Now....we're going down to the Outer Banks for a slice of Pizza. When I went there for summer vacations, the first night...we always had a pizza from Lisa's. I used to not like it at first because there was a better pizza (I will explain later) that I liked more. Last time I went, before Covid, I actually enjoyed it.
Pica's Pizzeria is known very well in Upper Darby where I was born. Tina Fay, an actress who grew up in Upper Darby, always complimented on how amazing their pizza was. When it came to West Chester, I tried it...and I found it to be good.
Sauce on the top, cheese on the bottom. Somewhat like a Chicago style, but nothing like the taste of Chicago style.
There's another Lisa's pizzeria. This one....is much better than the one in the Outer Banks. Not far from where my aunt lives, Lisa's pizza is really appetizing as well as mouthwatering. One slice isn't enough for me.
Usually, I would have this pizza when I see my aunt around the holidays. Haven't had it since Covid, but I bet it still tastes as good as it had before.
Now, I wanna talk about some Italian restaurants that I've been to when I was growing up here. First one is Fiorello's cafe in West Chester.
The food is good, but real salty as I've once drank almost a whole gallon of water while wafting for my pizza. The food is good, not great, but worth having a slice of pizza there when I go out.
Another Italian restaurant my parents and I are known for is La Locanda. An Italian restaurant in Edgemont that gives us Birthday cards for a free meal. We go there once someone's birthday comes up, or even New Years Eve.
The pizza....is excellent as well as the other food that is served. I'd give it a try if you're around that area.
One more Italian restaurant that serves great pizza is Limoncello's Restaurante. Not only does it have amazing food, but the pizza is pretty good. The cheese or the mushrooms or the black olives...doesn't matter what kind, it's all good there.
I usually get the Margarita one. I love sticking to an oldie but goodie.
This pizza in the Outer Banks was considered the best place to have a pie. It used to be called 'Toppers' but changed its name to Gidget's recently. What do I think of it? Well....it's been a long time since I've had it.
I would always beg someone to get it for me even though we would be in Waves/Rhodanthe, and the pizzeria was in Avon. I didn't care! I wanted it so bad that I even got a glass from the restaurant.
One more pizzeria that I have come to love. Patelmo's pizzeria. Not too far from home, and you can get a personal size pizza so you wouldn't feel guilty for having a whole pie. Sometimes, I would get garlic cheese bread when I was feeling hungrier.
Not all the time though. In Pennsylvania....for now at least, this pizzeria is considered the best place to go for a slice of pie.
Recently, I've been making my own homemade pizzas, so I haven't had the pleasure to go out and purchase one. I guess my own is good enough, but if I have a hankering and I don't wanna cook...these are the pizzerias I would choose for a slice of pie.
