Pizzeria beddia first opened in 2013 as a two-man, takeout only place with no website, no phone, no slices and only made 40 pizzas a night. if you wanted a pie you had to physically show up and place your order with john walker and wait for joe beddia to make your pie. it quickly because one of my favorite pizzas ever along with tacconelli’s. that is, until bon appetit crowned them the “best pizza in america” and pretty much ended any chance of eating their pizza again, unless you wanted to wait four hours in line for a pizza.
They closed in 2018 and opened up pizzeria beddia 2.0 in 2019, a fully blown restaurant with a bar, table service, phone number and they even take reservations. in the back is the “hoagie room”, a small private room where a party of six can experience a hoagie “omakase” from john walker aka “hoagie wan kenobi” along with pizza of course.
The hoagies were excellent, especially on the freshly baked sesame-seeded rolls. my favorites were the italian (the best i’ve ever had), tuna and even the veggie hoagie was delicious. the pies were just as good as i remembered with a flavor and crispy crust. @Chowseeker1999, @TheCookie, @Sgee
