Phil’s Famous

Another pizza joint has opened up in the area — and although your initial response may be a big yawn, take heed! This is not your average pie, my friends. This humble little establishment has officially blown my mind and I have declared it (drum roll please) the best pizza I’ve had in my life. I almost can’t believe it myself, but I swear it is the truth.
The sauce has an intricate, nuanced sweetness with the perfect balance of seasonings. The crust is thin and pliable on the tongue, the mozzarella distributed with care. And the coup de grace would be the enticing basil leaves playing peek-​a-​boo ‘neath the cheese. It is not often, dear reader, that I have enjoyed fresh basil on a pizza so straightforward and so cheap! A slice will run you a paltry buck-​fifty, a large 18″ pie, $ 12. They do offer an array of specialty pizzas priced a few bucks higher, and although I willingly attest to the yumminess of several, I just find it difficult to break away from the wonder of their version of plain.
Phil’s also has an above-​average selection of subs and sandwiches. The Italian chicken hoagie on a fresh Amoroso roll with roasted red peppers, basil, and melted mozz over grilled chicken breast is really nothing less than a singular form of divinity. The deluxe pork and provolone sub is made of roasted pork, with red peppers, basil and melted cheese, and is quite tasty (although for this one I do recommend adding a side of sauce as the pork can occasionally be a tad dry)…all this for only $ 7.50! The super-​reuben has received rave reviews from my coworkers, while I myself prefer the super-​rachel, both priced at six bucks.
When you visit, make sure you grab an order of onion rings… they’re some of the best.
The staff always are friendly and smiling, and when I’ve complimented their efforts they seem thoroughly pleased. I’ve been told that Phil himself (whom I’ve not met yet) is a stickler for fresh ingredients, and the testimony is certainly in the taste. Put this on your to-​do list for your next pizza night… I promise you’ll be won over as well.
