Frommer's Review

A real insider recommendation for pizza is Tacconelli's -- not, as you'd think, in South Philly (and not exactly in Northern Liberties) but way up past No Libs in Port Richmond. This local legend is open until the thin, crispy crusts run out (about 9pm). It's imperative to call ahead to reserve the type of pizza you want, which is prepared in a brick oven. The white pizza with garlic oil, and the spinach and tomato pies, are heavenly.
