Philly Tomato Pie
The Place: Marchiano's Bakery; Philadelphia, PA
The Pie: You know Philly for its famous cheesesteaks, but the cheeseless tomato pie is another specialty hailing from the City of Brotherly Love. The best are found in Italian bakeries (not pizzerias) around Philly and its suburbs ? even in Trenton, NJ ? and one thing's for sure: It's all about the sauce. Marchiano's masters it, serving up a robustly flavored sauce atop a crust that's golden brown, as opposed to the sweet sauce and spongy dough found in other bakeries.
