Phillippi's - Natrona Heights, PA

Phillippi's is located on Freeport Road in Natrona Heights. They are known for a pizza called the Birdville Pie. What makes this pizza special is the blend of cheese (Cheddar) and the thin crust. This restaurant was recommended to me by a few people so I was eager to try them.

I didn't know what to think at first. The waxy texture from the Cheddar cheese was the first thing I noticed. Once I got past that I actually liked the pizza. The crust was thin and flavorful. It was crisp and cooked very well. The sauce had soaked into the cheese so it was difficult to get a good feel for it, but it did taste good and they used a proper amount of it. The cheese on the Birdville Pie was flavorful and plentiful. I want to try Phillippi's again sometime but with additional toppings. I would recommend them as their pizza is a change in pace from the standard 'Pittsburgh Pizza'.
