Metropolitan Bakery adds hand-crafted pizza

Metropolitan Bakery now offers individually sized pizzas at its Rittenhouse (262 S. 19th St.) and Reading Terminal Market (12th and Arch) locations. Metro co-founder James Barrett has been doing the pies on and off for a bit, but now they're officially available every week from Wednesday to Saturday. At just $4.75 (that's a lot of food for under five bucks, no?), these things are a deal, especially when considering the pizza dough, which features a touch of whole-grain rye flour for flavor, is naturally leavened, slow-rising for two days before hitting the oven.

The varieties:

Mixed wild mushroom with caramelized onion and white truffle oil
Marguerite: housemade tomato sauce, tomatoes, basil, fresh mozzarella
Fig, prosciutto and candied pecans
Veggies with goat cheese and homemade pesto

Wow. That pizza really looks delicious! I will definitely take my wife here in our Philadelphia dating getaway. Actually, she's kinda a pizza addict. LOL
