  • In this episode I visit La Rosa Pizza located 2106 S broad street Philadelphia. This small South Philly mom and pop shop is bringing you old school Sicilian slices at an affordable price. I got to try the cheese and sausage slice. I am also hearing that the potato slice is something worth trying to but it was too late for me to try since the video was already shot. I'd say La Rosa is one of those underground pizza shops that only the locals and pizza lovers will know about.

    They've been a part of south Philly forever. They've never touched or changed anything for decades and as you found out...they don't need to. They are one of the very few originals that are still great to this day.

    Well deserved recognition! I quickly became addicted to their slices while working as a parking enforcement officer in that area. Two slices, 5 days a week for years and never once got tired of it. They also have the nicest staff ever. (by the way, their sausage is homemade)

    Lived in south philly for a few years and discovered this hidden gem on my last day in south philly before moving. The old man was not only nice but most of all the sicilian pies are as legit as they come. I'm glad you gave this man his flowers. It's been over 20 yrs since I moved . I plan to visit south philly soon.

This pizza is unrivaled by any other with the style of pizza they make 🤤 not sure of Merlino’s hoagie shop is still open but try there hoagies. They are at 15th and Federal. There is also a black owned store at 20th and Jackson. If they are still open try their hoagies.
