Looks like the new Pizza Museum in Phila, will be opening in September.
The name of the museum is Pizza Brain.

I wonder how the museum will be and also what their pizzas will be like. I might have to take a road trip in the fall to see the Pizza Museum and taste their pizzas.

Pizza Brain opens September 7th. They are even going to have pizza flavored ice cream.

I don’t think I would like the taste of pizza ice cream, but then I never tasted it. $:-\$

I just saw last Saturday the guys from Pizza Brain were getting ready to put their first pizza in the oven. Lol, the picture is funny.

I love these guys, but I hope they wear something other than tank tops for pizza prep. Don't want a short-and-curly in my pie.

It's going to be a really cool spot! Mainly a restaurant with Brian's amazing pizza collection displayed throughout. I'm going to the opening, I think I'm wearing a big inflatable pizza suit for them. Let me know if anybody's going to if anyone's interested in hitching a ride.

I don't doubt that it'll be cool. I think Brain's a good guy and his love of pizza is infectious. Was just sayin' I hope they wear some kitchen whites or somethin'.

I'd go, but I'm stuck at home with baby duty.

Scott,

I also would like to go, but don't think I will make it the first week they are open. I gotta wait for a ride. That sure would be neat if you wore a big inflatable pizza suit.

I saw Pizza Brain posted this video on facebook this morning.

I will wait a little while before I try to visit Pizza Brain. A thousand people sure does sound like a pizza traffic jam.

The Pizzeria: Leave all expectations of high-minded, wood- or coal-fired pies at the door -- they're doing classic, gooey, gas-ovened slices, all prepped on a bed of secret-recipe house sauce. The whole thing'll be run right in the middle of the museum, and feature combos like prosciutto/date/thyme and sweet potato/gorgonzola, and even a few insane, undisclosed jawns like French Onion Soup, which sounds like exactly the kind of slice that could take you out of your next Blue Period.
