Pizzeria · Bella Vista - Southwark · 6 tips and reviews
Emily H: Delicious square pizza - recommend the Colony (pepperoni, pickled jalapeño, honey). The Le Big Matt burger was also fabulous and juicy, don’t miss it!
Sandra Rubinchik: They call it the MVP for a reason. (Okay, tbh, the reason is because it’s margherita, vodka, and pesto sauces all in one pie.)
Kathy Toomey: Wished they had good vegan food. Barely any options.

Wine Bar · Center City West · 99 tips and reviews
Cara: Easily the best place in Philly. Amazing and reasonably priced small plates and an incredible wine AND beer list. Snag bar seating or wait for a table - it's absolutely worth it.
Jordan Martin: Get the bruschetta!
Philadelphia Magazine: According to one regular, “I’ll drink by myself pretty much anywhere, but I believe Tria is the best place in the city for a woman to drink alone. It attracts the most harmless jerks of any wine bar.”
