​PIETRO'S COAL OVEN PIZZA

Open Daily For Lunch and Dinner

Two New York City famous pizza parlors opened in Center City Philadelphia about the same time.  Both use coal ovens which burn extra hot and produce a great crust.


Of the two, Pietro's has a broader menu, a lot more than pizza.  But pizza is the thing to order.


That's a tomato pie above, and very unique arugula pie upper right, and sausage pie to the left.


Pietro's has outdoor seating on Walnut Street in season.  A nice way to spend an afternoon.


But pie vs. pie, I'm a fan of the other NY pizza parlor, Lombardi's.
