We have never bought pizza from the Wurst House but until last Fall always had good 
Italian hoagies from there, but since then they have changed their ingredients or 
something because they are not as fresh or tasty.  However, their BLTs and Reubens are 
wonderful.  For pizza we like Allegro, Colonial and Fiesta.

The Fresh Grocer has pretty good pizza -- similar to Pizza Rustica -- a lot
cheaper. They do not deliver.

As to Royal, I boycott that place because it has looked the same -- a
complete shit hole -- since  1985 when I first moved to UC.  Do you think
security grates on all windows and doors are really necessary for a pizza
place at 41st and Baltimore?  Would it kill the property owner to make a
modest investment to improve the appearance of the place?

I have a favorite joint that hasn't been mentioned yet. California Pizza at 
about 33rd and Powelton is where I order from more often than not. I like 
their sausage and pepperoni the best...or what I like to call the heart 
stopper. AND, I have never been served roaches with my pie!

I don't know how far they go as far as delivery, but they do deliver to my 
house on the 500 S. block of Melville St. (between 45th and 46th, and 
Larchwood and Baltimore Aves).

Hope that gives you another option.

BTW, it took pizza to get me to post a message for the first time...who

Re: [UC] best pizza joint that delivers

2004-03-17 Thread HarvestMoon3
Similarly, I (and others) boycott Fiesta Pizza -- due to their refusal to
stop their delivery people from driving and parking ON the sidewalk. Haven't
noticed it going on as much recently (maybe they've had a change of heart,
like Ghadaffi --however you spell his name.)

 We had numerous discussions with the owners about the sidewalk parking/
driving problem (This goes back 4 or 5 years ago. Many people were involved:
neigbors, SHCA officers, police, parking authority officers and the head of
the parking authority, etc.)  The Fiesta owners always said they would stop
the sidewalk parking -- but, they never did.  Never, never, never -- even
the same day of our discusssions/ meetings! A Fiesta delivery guy even had
the audacity to honk at us to get us out of the way, as a few of us were
gathered ON THE SIDEWALK in front of Fiesta, simply talking. I refused to
move. His car drove up the sidewalk and edged up to me. He honked
continuously, and finally backed up a little, and parked on the sidewalk in
front of the store next to Fiesta.  There was open parking, in fact, in
front of Fiesta (on the street), but, no, that was apparently not suitable.

So, I don't think much of the current owners and won't patronize their
establishment. They don't seem to give a damn about our neighborhood.

So, that's my story. and I'm sticking to it.

2004-03-17 Thread Elizabeth F. Campion

Jonathan,

Yours may be a bad choice of words, since one of the delivery men was
recently killed in Royal.
I think it was an accident as benign as one of the coworkers dropping
a gun, intended for protection.
It had been hidden among stacked boxes.

This is a chance to for me to say, I'd like to see MANY changes in our
gun laws.
The best defense is common sense.

*

Back to PIZZA, 
I had a nightmare experience with a pizza from Fiesta.  The memory can
still make me retch.

I have had wonderful experience with Colonial's Pizza.
And the only time I ever had a delivery problem, the owner gave me a
freebie nosh at my next visit.

But, for me, the best Pizza (and the best cheese steaks) in UC are at
47th and Woodland.
Everything is very handmade.  Pizza crusts are crisp.  Sandwich rolls are
given a final broil for warmth and texture.  They don't deliver, but
there is lots of free parking.  Elani and Anastasio have loyal staffs and
hold down a tough corner of our neighborhood.

Best!
Liz

FIESTA, no doubt! Not only do they deliver, but it is an exotic sitdown restaurant, with a full menu of gyros, cheesesteaks, wings and a whole lot more. Yummy desserts too; I recommend the lemon meringue pie or carrot cake. The staff when I last dined there hailed from Bangladesh, Ethiopia and points beyond. This is where my family goes to celebrate when we have anything to celebrate. Definitely NOT a yuppie ambiance. Right across from Le Callebasse and the Queen of Sheba.

a slight non-sequitor, but i really like the veggie grinder from pasqualie's
on 43rd and walnut. I can't vouch for their pizza. Though, I should add, you
can make your own, it's fun and exciting!

I'll second the Allegro's recommendation.  Their pizza is actually
quite cheap -- if you pick up the Coupon Clipper magazine, there's a
coupon for two medium pizzas for $11.99.  The tomato pie is 
excellent for the non-dairy folks.  

Their pizza has a thinner crust than the usual West Philly pizza 
(Colonial, Wurst House...).  I think the thicker crusts are usually
too buttery for my taste.  

They're right on the corner of 40th and Spruce and they deliver to 
47th and Baltimore, usually within 30 minutes.

I can vouch for Pasqualie's pizza -- the Buffalo Chicken pizza is probably
my favorite.  Highly recommended, and they take credit cards. They do have a
new management now, though. It's strange, but they've added a complete
Chinese menu to their Italian offerings. So far as the pizza goes, I think
the recipes, etc. remain unchanged. Don't really know about their delivery
policy.
