Pizza Richmond
Included In
Pizzeria Shackamaxon, the takeout-only shop in Fishtown, makes slices so good that we’d happily line up for them during a rainstorm. Thankfully, we no longer have to. Their sister shop and BYOB in Port Richmond offers a major upgrade from scarfing tomato pies on the pavement, plus the ability to pizza order online for pickup and delivery. Pizza Richmond has a large dining room packed with nostalgia—there are old Spiderman comics and a tube TV playing Total Recall on VHS, but all of the fun won’t distract you from the headliner here: the incredible, thin-sliced pizza. Each edge has blistery charred puffs and just enough sauce to keep the quality toppings in place. We love the spinach, onion, and spinach cream white pizza and the classic cheese. Top your slice with housemade crushed red pepper or lemon-basil whipped ricotta if you want a little something extra. But since this place is steadily climbing the list of Philly’s best pizzas, we doubt you’ll need anything else.
