NYPD Pizza opened its doors in 2004, but brought with it, a nearly 40 years of experience making pizza in New York. So NYPD Pizza of course makes your traditional NY Style crust, which is the type of crust most pizza shops in Philadelphia make. But they do offer Chicago style on the menu and people who prefer the decadence of the deep dish really enjoy it. Just give them 30 minutes to make it. Besides pizza, they also make up most of your favorite "pizza place" foods like meatball subs, chicken cutlet sandwiches, and calzones. You can dine in, pick up, or order delivery.

Pizzeria Cappelli briefly had closed and reopened in this name. Here they also serve a deeper dish version of their pizza, but for true Chicago pizza fans, they would say it is not Chicago style, but it is a deeper thicker crust. They also have more interesting and inventive toppings such as mac-n-cheese and of course a Philly Cheesesteak. Pizzeria Cappelli is open late all week.
