Lambertville's Liberty Hall Pizza Featured In Bon Appetit

Liberty Hall Pizza in Lambertville was recently mentioned on the pages of a well-known culinary magazine.

Bon Appetit included the local spot among its list of "America's Favorite Neighborhood Restaurants."

In the feature, the magazine said it asked 80 of the "most interesting" people — celebrities, professional athletes, fashion designers and more — where they like to eat. They then compiled the selected restaurants into a list divided up by geographical locations.

"These are the spots we return to again and again, the places that make no claim to be the "newest" or the "trendiest" and that's precisely why we love them," the magazine says.

Turns out, famous fashion designer Zac Posen is a fan. Posen tells Bon Appetit his family is from Bucks County. Usually they cook dinner at the farm, but when they need to escape, they head out to Liberty Hall.

"There’s a nice, happy simplicity to it: wood fired pies in a small, colorful, welcoming place. I always order a margherita or something more creative, like a Meyer lemonbasil pizza with smoked mozzarella, then the roasted beet salad with gorgonzola, and a root beer float to finish," Posen is quoted as saying.

Other local restaurants that made the list are Fuji Mountain restaurant in Philadelphia. That's where Ben Simmons of the Philadelphia 76ers like to dine, he says.

“I can never pass up a shrimp tempura sushi roll with a side of edamame at Fuji Mountain Japanese Restaurant in Philadelphia. Plus, I love the low-key vibe upstairs at night," he said.
