Fri Feb 15 12:23:05 -0800 2008 127010 Diego Sanchez 1 3401819 I order from Amedeo's. I've picked up at Gino's. Both are pretty good.

Second place winner is Charlie's in Swede Square shopping center in E. Norriton. Can't say that there is any outstanding pizza in W. Norriton. Fri Feb 15 15:37:02 -0800 2008 3401632 166458 ntowngal 2 3404010 I would agree with both recommendations of Gino's and Via Veneto. Via Veneto has one of the best cheesesteak strombolis that I have ever had. Aside from that it's all pretty mediocre, just like most of the suburbs. Sat Feb 16 09:20:32 -0800 2008 3402384 20485 mitchh 2 3431768 I had the opportunity to try Charlie's in Sweded Square...great pizza...sauce is a bit sweet...but it was a nice change (though not as sweet as Franzones--which I found was just too sweet for my taste). Charlie's will be added to the list of pizza places in my phone! Mon Feb 25 06:52:13 -0800 2008 3402384 82651 Adenn1 1 3404496 It's kinda sweet (the sauce) but lots of people SWEAR by Franzones (either across the bridge in Bridgeport, or on Ridge Pike in Conshy.) It's a different kind of pie, but delicious crispy thin crust, and no gluey Mozz like most places. Sat Feb 16 13:03:35 -0800 2008 3401632 19279 phillyjazz 2 3408580 Franzone's white pizza is realy good, w onions, garlic and a drizzle of oil. Benny's in Trooper (Park Ridge Shopping Center) on Ridge used to be the best pie, but Benny retired and is now working at Genaurdi's cafe on Germantown & 202. Haven't tried the Genaurdi's pie, but if it is the Benny's version, I'm sure its good. Anyone know how the Genaurdi's pie stacks up? Via Veneto Sicilian pie is very good.. Mon Feb 18 05:52:47 -0800 2008 3404496 144952 EastPA 3 3408666 You cannot compare a pizza shop's pizza to a supermarkets. The supermarkets are not using fresh dough, but either frozen dough or even frozen shells. Further every store makes their pizza exactly the same, just as every McDonald's makes a burger the same way. Genuardi's pizza is mediocre at best. Mon Feb 18 06:30:06 -0800 2008 3408580 20485 mitchh 1 3404846 hey, I've had pretty good pie at Nippers on Ridge. Seafood pie red or white is good if a bit pricey. Also have had sausage and mushroom that was very good.Padrinos at Vally Forge rd. and Germantown Pike is good also, if you go during lunch they have a good selection of by-the-slice, so you can try it out w/o ordering a whole pie. Sat Feb 16 15:35:21 -0800 2008 3401632 160202 kissdadish 1 3406368 Hi neighbor - I don't really have a go to pizza place in the area yet. My favorite is Maria's Pizza in Conshy...near the Outback. They have both a normal oven and a wood burning oven that can only fit a small pie. I did try Gino's last night for the first time and it was very good. They do need to add more toppings to the menu and also some more specialty pies though. Kosmo's isn't the best around but its a little different style so worth trying. Sun Feb 17 09:36:38 -0800 2008 3401632 155996 mddletown 1 3406737 I see that a Venuto's Pizza is opening in front of the home depot/office max, but I don't know when. Sun Feb 17 11:59:17 -0800 2008 3401632 158418 Tony K 2 3432435 That Venuto's is available for franchise ownership. It appears that they build some locations on spec as the website lists a few new sites available for ownership. Mon Feb 25 09:44:04 -0800 2008 3406737 77467 cheesewit 1 3410611 Charlie's Pizza and Beer beer used to be really good (in the Swede Square shopping center - Germantown Pike.) Haven't been there in awhile. Mon Feb 18 16:21:34 -0800 2008 3401632 19279 phillyjazz 1 3412046 My wife like Betucci's pizza...I think it is over-rated and expensive for what you get. I like pizza from Greco-Roman. Large speciality pizza (like a Greek or Meatlovers) is $13. I have been meaning to try Ginos...and Charlie's. Tue Feb 19 05:56:03 -0800 2008 3401632 82651 Adenn1 2 3412807 I second Greco-Roman...pretty good pizza there. Tue Feb 19 09:17:57 -0800 2008 3412046 155996 mddletown 3 3412886 I've never been in there. Have you had anything else? I live in Worcester/Fairview Village and Greco-Roman is close. Tue Feb 19 09:33:04 -0800 2008 3412807 77467 cheesewit 4 3413000 How is Padrinos in Fairview Village? Tue Feb 19 09:59:55 -0800 2008 3412886 127010 Diego Sanchez 5 3414765 I have not tried it personally but, I have had a few people tell me that it's very good. Tue Feb 19 16:55:51 -0800 2008 3413000 77467 cheesewit 5 3415933 Padrino's is excellent. They make a Sal's Special pie that is out of this world - chicken, roasted red peppers and other veg. Also their good old pepperoni pizza is wonderful. But for white pizza, go to Franzone's. Wed Feb 20 05:41:28 -0800 2008 3413000 19937 Kater 4 3414479 Cheesewit: Greco-Roman also has typical sandwiches...but also has a nice selection of Greek food and pasta dishes...all of which I have been very pleased with. Greco-Roman got a 4/5 stars from a local newpaper reviewer. I have only done take out...but the staff has alway been very nice. Tue Feb 19 15:27:06 -0800 2008 3412886 82651 Adenn1 4 3416726 My wife loves the Greek lasagna. I've had the chicken parm special a few times. Its not the best around but it is certainly good for the price. I like the pizza with grilled chicken topping. Wed Feb 20 09:22:03 -0800 2008 3412886 155996 mddletown 5 3418321 Sounds right up my alley. Thanks!! Wed Feb 20 15:08:56 -0800 2008 3416726 77467 cheesewit 1 3412992 Thanks for all of the suggestions! A guy a I work with swears by Via Veneto and Charlie's. Tue Feb 19 09:58:09 -0800 2008 3401632 127010 Diego Sanchez 2 3443991 I just got back from lunch at Franzones and while I thought the cheese, toppings, dough and crust are as good as anywhere, the sauce is just too darn sweet.
