by Mike M. on For the second time in as many weeks, I found myself aboard the Septa R2 heading into Philly to meet an old friend for some dinner and conversation. Because we were both more interested in business than pleasure, we kept the restaurant selection fairly casual. She, knowing the neighborhoo, chose this homey pizzeria. We entered and the look was rather unassuming. At first, I thought it would be the type of place where you place your order at the counter and go sit down; I was pleased to find we would be waited on instead. Drinks were standard, especially for me. Just a water, please! We split an order of the nachos as an appetizer and they weren't terribly memorable. I do believe there's something intoxicating about Cheez-Whiz, but I just don't feel it's an appropriate application on nachos. But we were eating in a pizza joint, so what right do I have to call such a thing into question? The nachos also suffered from someone using a heavy hand with the salsa/pico de gallo. In my decidedly warped world, nachos should be topped with fresh veggies and then served with salsa on the side. Not here. As well, the requested grilled chicken for an additional $2 seemed to be neither grilled present nor grilled; I came upon perhaps three tiny chunks. The pizza was far better, though. And perhaps I should be a little more lenient with my. We ordered something with ricotta, tomato, spinach, tomatoes, and a crap-ton of garlic. Crust was perfectly crusty and slightly blackened and boiled from being cooked in the brick oven. Toppings were nicely proportioned so as to not weight down the crust. And, at about $10 for a 12-inch pie that fed both of us well, we got out of there paying a reasonable amount for some good pizza and underwhelming nachos. Not sure I'd return to Mix's, but I'd recommend it to anyone interested in a quick slice in that part of town.
by Dana V. on JBs is my favorite place in Philly to see a show! It's a small intimate venue (venue is upstairs, bar / restaurant downstairs). They always have great shows and really promote local music (and beer). The food downstairs is great to grab a bite before the show. It's also cool to hang and play pool. But really, keep an eye out for the bands that come through here, the music is always a good time. I like to drop in, even if I don't know who's playing.
