MANAYUNK

Pizza (n): a food made from flat, usually round bread that is topped with tomato sauce and cheese and often with meat or vegetables.

In other words, I would simply call it heaven on a plate. A dish that comes in so many styles and variations that in some form it’s loved by nearly everyone. If you’re one of the few detractors out there, well let’s just say that you haven’t found the right slice.  The variety of pizza you can find in Manayunk is really impressive.  There’s of course the classic; plain cheese, red sauce and chewy crust, but you’ll also find buffalo chicken, veggie, Greek with feta and olives or just the beloved simple tomato pie.  Just my opinion, but I’ve never met a slice that I didn’t like.   Got a craving for pizza? Manayunk’s got you covered from sweet sauce and extra cheese to buffalo mozzarella.  We’ve got whole wheat, gluten free, flat bread, thick crust and brick oven.  Yeah, like I said, a little slice of heaven…
