Thin crust pizza around philly (health, about)

[discndav]

Tacconnelli's in Maple Shade, NJ which is next to the Moorestown Mall. The T's in Philly has a strange requirement of reserving your crust a day ahead of time. Cross the bridge and go to the Maple Shade location, it's also a BYOB.

Slice (Rittenhouse square location) gets a thumbs up from me. A true thin crust (not a "New York pizza" which is often mistakenly passed off as thin crust), reasonable quality toppings, not too heavy on the cheese. They don't have AC, so not the best place to sit down. I think the thing to do is eat it in the square nearby or order delivery for those who are in the city.

Will try some of the other places in the future. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

I hope you all enjoy Slice. It has become my favorite.

I like Gianfranco's and Paolo's, and I don't like a lot of the pizza here. Paolo's is pretty thin and crusty. I really like Gianfranco's for it's sauce taste. Taconelli's is pretty great too, but they aren't kidding about reserving the dough. IIRC they stop answering the phone after around 11 am. One thing I like about Philly and Trenton area is tomato pies seem to be uniquely popular here, which I thing you might like if you don't like too much cheese.

Went to Slice last night and enjoyed the pizza very much and it was the best pizza I have had in 2010.

It's a shame that it's on a narrow street where it doesn' get a lot of exposure because I think it would be a HIT with a lot of people.

Yeah, I've always been a big fan of the tomato pie. I'm not huge on cheese, and I hate when cheese dominates the pizza, especially the thick greasy cheese most pizza places in the city seem to use.

Tocconelli's in Port Richmond probably has the best thin crust i ever had in Philly, at least in terms of the crust itself. Marra's in south philly and Lorenzo's in center city are also very good.
