Stogie Joe's



Not really known for it's pizza Stogie Joe's has a close affiliation with a well known pizza place in Philadelphia, Santucci's.  Located at 1801 E Passyunk Ave this small restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating.  I went here with a good friend of mine before one of the last flyers games of the season for a quick bite before the game.  We shared a house salad, which on the menu states it's for two people.  I love this salad the greens always come out crispy and fresh.  The red wine vinaigrette dressing complements the salami and sharp provolone nicely.  This salad is quit large and could be a meal for someone.

We also shared what they call the "traditional" old style pizza.  This pizza is rectangle in shape and is different from you traditional pizza not only for it's shape but also for it's construction.  The cheese is placed on directly on top of the crust and then smothered with tomato sauce.  This gives the pizza a moist texture on top but helps to maintain the crispy out side of the crust.  The pizza was delicious to eat  with not an overwhelming saucy flavor for how much sauce they put on the pizza.  Another delicious entry I have enjoyed here in the past is the Stromboli.  If you are ever wondering around East Passyunk Avenue go and check it out.
