Mama Palma's

More than a month may have gone by since our last post, but don't worry--we still have been eating plenty of pizza!  This past weekend, Evan and I visited my friend in Philadelphia.  Although Evan had a cheesesteak craving on Saturday afternoon (we'll hit up "Jim's Steaks" next time, Evan; I promise), we followed our friend's recommendation and ended up at Mama Palma's, a small, casual Italian restaurant around the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood.  

Specializing in gourmet wood-fired brick oven pizza, Mama Palma's features an nice listing of pie varieties.  Unfortunately, we didn't have too much time to decide on our order, so Evan and I decided to split a margarita pizza.  While the pie was definitely over-priced ($15.00+), the thin and crispy crust, chunky and sweet tomatoes, and fresh slices of melted mozzarella hit the spot for a late lunch.  

Other than the questionable price value, my only complaint with this basic pizza was the cheese.  The cheese was definitely fresh and tasty; however, in my opinion, there was a little too much of it (or maybe the slices were too thick?).  No weekend is really complete without a good pizza pie, and I was happy that Mama Palma's was part of our Saturday Philadelphia excursion!
