Zagat's top 5 Philly Pizzerias

POSTED: Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 2:34 PM

It’s pizza week over at the Zagat blog and in typically democratic Zagat fashion, they've rounded up the top five pizzas in Philly sourced from their loyal surveyees. Of the 5,500 folks surveyed, the top picks are a curious mix.

In fifth place is Jake’s and Cooper’s Wine Bar, a Manyunk small plates joint offering up some solid pizza options. Coming in at number four is Rittenhouse staple Mama Palma Gourmet Pizza. Third goes to deep South Philly strip mall sensation Celebre’s, home to what may very well be the city’s top pizzazz. Coming in second is the perennially packed Tacconelli’s Pizza, a place where reserving your dough in advance is a must.  And in the number one slot we have Osteria, hardly a pizzeria but the wood fired pies are pretty out of control.

Sure this list crowd sourced but where’s the love for Stella, Zavino and Nomad? Or the only in Philly square pies of Santucci’s and Stogie Joe’s?

And what about your pizza picks, friends of Meal Ticket? Go ahead and share your top five in the comments section.

    The pizza at In Riva is pretty fantastic. Tacconelli's margherita pizza is still one of the best I've had. And I will always love Dock Street.
