Norristown, KOP Pizzerias Among Region's Best: Philly Mag

NORRISTOWN, PA — A pair of local pizzerias have landed on Philadelphia Magazine's list of the best in the entire region.

Norristown's Charlie's Pizzeria, located on 107 W. Germantown Pike, made the cut. Here's what the outlet had to say:

"Simple, fast and cheap, this old-school, Best of Philly counter-service pizza shop does excellent red-tops (sauce on top of the cheese) by the slice for $2. There’s a cooler full of beer behind you, a baseball game on the flour-dusted TV, and honestly — if you need more than that to be happy in this life, I can’t help you."

Pizzeria Vetri, which has a King of Prussia location in addition to two spots in the city, also made the list:

"Yeah, the rotolo will always be the star here. But it should be said that the pizzas — all of them creative, considered, grounded in Italian tradition and ingredients — are also very solid. Not the thing you want if you’re looking for some quick, in-and-out neighborhood pie that’s all grease and drippy cheese. But if you’re after a nice tuna pizza, or some prosciutto crudo pizza with buffalo mozz and parmigiana, some roasted potatoes, meatballs on the side, and a beer or a glass of wine to go with it, Pizzeria Vetri might be your jam."

Vetri is located over at 640 West DeKalb Pike in King of Prussia.
