Lafayette Pizza

We were staying at one of the hotels near the airport for a (relatively) early morning flight, and to make that happen, had decided to turn in our car the night before. In order to make things simpler, we decided to eat something before doing so — but what they don’t tell you is that there isn’t a lot to eat in the area, and we neglected to eat before leaving downtown Philadelphia. So we hunted, and hunted, and hunted, and finally came to a strip mall area, where we found this pizza place open.
Now this is not the kind of place you want to sit down and eat a pizza, but we didn’t really have a lot of options (as I mention, we were headed to turn in our car next, and we didn’t want to eat on the Hertz bus). So we ordered, watched the game, and then ate our pie at the little table. All in all not a bad experience — but this is definitely not what I would call an eat-​in establishment, if you need it for future reference.
The gentleman running the place is probably not a people person. He was nice enough, but I had this feeling that he was more comfortable cooking than having us sit there waiting (and definitely than eating!). He didn’t really care for answering the phone much either.
But when it came to the pizza? Good stuff. Or it could have been that we were just hungry.
This isn’t thin, New York style. it’s not deep dish. It’s not really your midwest either. Somewhere in the middle of all of that, with a nice, crispy crust and piled high with toppings. In fact, if there is any complaint, it’s that the toppings were piled a little too high. They were good — there were just a few too many of them. Even though the crust was done well, it made for a bit unwieldy of a bite. But you can always pick them up out of the pizza box.

This pizza is just perfect. It’s the best I’ve had as of yet in my neighborhood. I ordered a small cheese pizza on a whim and was extremely surprised. It’s a tiny hole in the corner of the plaza but trust me you will be surprised with the flavor that the pizza delivers. I have tried their wings and they are also awesome. They are very reasonably priced.
