It’s really not Philly’s strength. For a great food city our pizza is meh.

Sure, but there are good pizza places - though many of them are also from nyc. But there is some good local stuff too - pizzata, dough head, pizza plus, pizzeria bedia, etc. You're not gonna get a pizza for $12 but at that point I'd probably just get Domino's.

Recently tried DoughHead and was really pleasantly surprised. They make a solid pie.

Never even had Blaze pizza, but just from the picture, it looks better than Dominoes. Too many toppings for me, but the crust looks solid.

The spicy tomato sauce is tasty, and the ingredients are visibly of pretty high quality.

Eh those places are really just alright. Once you travel or live in other cities you realize Philly is pretty behind on pizza. There is just no culture for it here.

They burn the shit outta their pies. Wood Street is probably my favorite "normal" pizza place in Philly.

I like it crisp. To each their own.

There are a few good specialty pies at certain places, but I've yet to find a good plain cheese pie that actually impressed me.

The only one that actually did it for me was OG Pizza up in fishtown. Still far as hell from us down south though so it feels like a unicorn

I'll keep that in mind next time I'm in that area

Every pizza on the same block as the Blaze Pizza in this city is better than Blaze Pizza, and probably cheaper too. I'm truly not sure what you're even going for here.
