Philadelphia Pizza Blog Reviews
The past two weeks I have made incredible progress on the Best Philadelphia Pizza Blog with various Philadelphia pizza reviews. I have journeyed all over the city of Philadelphia to uncover the truth behind the best pizza in Philadelphia. Although there is still plenty of more work to be done and much more pizzas to be eaten, many truths about the best pizza in Philly is slowly unfolding.
The following is the current list of the best pizza joints in Philadelphia. I have also included a list of those that I have given a yellow light (proceed with caution) and those that I just don’t recommend (red light). If you have been to any of these places or just would like to put in your two cents please feel free to comment below or on my other pizza blog.

He has been studying the pizza industry for some time now with visits to major pizza cities in America and an in depth study in Italy. He has finally opened his new business in Philadelphia called Pizzeria Stella (Stella translates to Starr in Italian) to showcase his work.
