For those who don’t want the gimmick, the brother’s spot in Jersey tastes the same…check them out in Moorestown by the mall

Gotta second Sweeney’s drink choice here. While I am down with the grapes, nothing goes better with Tacconelli’s than a Lite Beer. In fact, if a little spills on the plate and it gets on the bottom of your crust, it’s quite the added bonus.

And absolutely be prepared to wait, but not because the service is poor. Please don’t bitch about it. ‘They’ still rant and rave about slow service here. I heard the same crap at the Jerk Hut outdoor spot when we were sitting around with 3 coolers full of beer on a beautiful summer night. Where else you gotta be? It’s the closest thing I got to a yard, so I’ll stay as long as I can.

I am happy to be reading about something other than the cheesesteak when it comes to Philly’s finest foods.

What is the gimmick? I ate the pie in Jersey and it is NOT the same. Things in Jersey are never as good.

As one who grew up on these pizzas myself, I have to say, your guidelines are good advice.

I may be a simple outsider to the Tuno legacy, but the margerita pie and the classic pepperoni are the two pies I long for when dreaming of Tacconelli’s!

I’ve been intimidated to go, but armed with this advice, I plan to have my first visit to Tacconelli’s very soon.

how could you leave out the fried hots? imo, the only way to go at tacconelli’s is the plain pizza, which has just a small amount of cheese and sauce, and load it up with fried hots. it is sooo good. growing up, my family typically ordered 2 pies per person and it’s all we would eat for the next two days. that was back when we lived an hour from the place. now that i’m in fishtown, i have had the experience of calling in and getting a pizza an hour later. i felt like god was smiling down on me…

How could a 20 foot x 20 foot oven considered “long and narrow?”

Every time we go I say the same thing, why does it take this long for a damn pizza, a 20×20 oven isn’t big enough? And we wait and wait. But every time we leave I say, man, that was so worth it, when are we going back.

Tacc’s is severely over-rated.
It’s certainly one of the better pizza places in the city, but not worth the hype. Osteria’s pizza is great, but too pricey. Rustica is garbage. I’m still mourning the loss of Lombardi’s.
Right now the best pizza in the area is a short drive to Ardmore at Felicia’s.

You mean Margherita.

And to the twit who wrote “Things in Jersey are never as good.”, that is Standard issue arrogant blind hatred that reveals you to be a moron.

Give me an f’n break…any run-of-the-mill pizzeria in N. Jersey or NYC trumps this place hands down. Philly knows NOTHING about pizza - period. The pies are fair and the experience is genuine. Beyond this, people will do anything other people tell them is worthwhile. So gather around your 20 X 20 campfire and enjoy your skewed, manufactured reality.
