Hi my name is Janine from Philly, PA.  I grew up in a small working class neighborhood with 2 GREAT pizzerias.  Although I love them both as much, I am out to produce the square version since it is different and a little more unique than that offered by most pizzerias.  I want to open my own shop that will bring pizza happiness to those who have never really tasted REAL, GOOD pizza.  I hope to make a great pizza in the roman, pizza al taglia style and hope to find some great posts and suggestions in this forum to set me on my way!

Hey!  What part of Philly?

[JAWeick]

Originally, Port Richmond -- a small working class river ward in the middle of Bridesburg and Fishtown.  Now, I live about an hour away -- 20 min outside of King of Prussia.

Cool.  I used to live in Castor Gardens in the northeast.  Then in Warminster for a while.  What's your favorite pizza places in Philly?  growing up close to Fishtown dou you like Tacconelli's?

[JAWeick]

Cool.  Tacconelli's is Port Richmond not Fishtown and yes, they are one of my 2 favorites.  The other was in Juniata -- the Original Santucci's on O Street(not any of the franchises).  Joe Santucci now has a place on Knights Road in Bensalem -- I haven't been there yet but heard it's good.  You?  What are your favorites?

I grew up liking Rising Sun , it's kind of like a pan pizza.  That's just what my dad always ordered or took me.  I got to try Tacconelli's a few years ago and it was very good.  But what I mostly ate in middle school and high school was the now famous Philly tomato pies from Altamonte's Italian market in Warminster.  They were like $1.50 a slice back then. Delicious and filling.
