Pizzeria Beddia

"By now you’ve probably heard of Philly favorite Pizzeria Beddia, so no need for the preamble; in short, the pizza is great. It’s on the crispier side and in a larger format than most dine-in places that happen to also serve natural wine. Try high-end pies with spicy arrabbiata sauce, Calabrian cream, or a simple variety with fragrant Sicilian oregano. The takeout holds up exceptionally well, but eating on the covered patio is great if you like to people-watch, Fishtown-style. You can make reservations online." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme, Ernest Owens, Eater Staff

"Pizzeria Beddia has come a long way over the years, from casual carryout to national pizza darling to Fishtown standout. But Joe Beddia’s restaurant is still putting out consistently terrific pies that meet exacting standards. The restaurant gives off an energy of casual warmth, where diners chatter comfortably over glasses of natural wine and plates piled with anchovies, beans, soppressata. Their focaccia-reminiscent take on Philly’s beloved tomato pie remains a worthy testament to the iconic dish, and their zingy salads continue to demonstrate thoughtful precision. And yes, they’re still the home of a hoagie omakase, a $75-per-person experience you could really only find in Philly." - Eater Staff, Ernest Owens

"Fishtown’s Pizzeria Beddia makes some of the nation's best pizza—but the place also has an exclusive tasting menu experience in the back. For $75 per person, you and five friends can have a curated two-hour meal that shows off the menu's standouts, a few signature cocktails, a private bar, some Warhol prints, and a bunch of extra stuff you can't get on the normal menu. The hoagies, like the Italian packed with a rainbow of cured meats, will have you convincing everyone in your phone contacts to buy the most expensive sandwich of their lives. " - candis mclean, alison kessler

"Pizzeria Beddia is best known for their pizzas. But the wine is just as much of a highlight. Options range from $12 glasses of on-tap natural wine to a $110 bottle from champagne. Keep an eye out for their Wine Camp programming on certain Tuesday nights. For $25, you get four pours from a visiting producer as well as some snacks. It's a great way to try something new and talk about wine with people who are knowledgeable but never snoozy." - alison kessler

"At the end of 2019, owner Joe Beddia opened up a full-service version of his cult-favorite takeout shop serving signature pies alongside natural wines, delicious small plates, and soft serve ice cream. Though the hype has died down a bit since the early acclaim, you should probably still make reservations if you want to dine at a prime time. The outdoor patio is warm and lovely, with convivial vibes and kind waitstaff." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff
