try bella rosy in collegeville!!!! awesome pizza!!

[Maverick215]

Penny's was awesome.

A little bit further away but I've found that these places offer very similar pizzas with a sweeter sauce...

- Franzone's (Bridgeport)
- Charlie's Pizza (East Norriton)
- Mocchia's Train Stop - the upside down pizza (Schwenksville)

thanks! Charlie's is the closest to me I will have to look it up

Ok...last night my family got the upside down pizza at Mocchia's on Maverick's suggestion. I have to say that although it is not identical to Penny's because of the cornmeal crust they used to have.....(sniff!),it is by far in my opinion the closest to Pennys that I personally have ever tried. I haven't tried Franzone's or Charlie's however.

finally tried charlie's just stopped in to get a slice it was pretty close to penny's. thanks maverick!

I was a Penny's Pizza fan as well, and very much in the same boat in looking for another good pizza place.

One more place (and I know this is a haul) but if you're ever in the Delaware area, Grotto Pizza is excellent pizza. They are a small pizza chain that only operates in Delaware.

The closest to us is on Concord Pike (Rt. 202) right around the Concord Mall.

Palermo's in the Genuardi shopping center is very very good, but get it with xtra sauce. The mushroom with xtra sauce is awesome.
If you don't mind driving to Bridgeport, then go to Franzone's, they have the same sauce that Penny's used.........tastes sooo goood.

I believe Penny's is coming back. There is a sign in front of the building saying "guess who's coming back?" Loved their strombolis.

[michele]

[BJ Penn]

I read somewhere that Oct 1st at 3 pm is when they will be re-opening. I've never had it, but the fan base has me very excited to try it. Being a pizza lover, I can't wait to try it out

[lori]

franzones in bridgeport is even better than Penny's (made very similarly)

[leonard]

nothing cost a penny

I can't believe that no one put on here that Penny's finally re-opened on Thursday.

I did see above also heard they took the phone off the hook 3 hr wait for a pizza cars parked all along ridge pike I think I will wait a couple of weeks

What is going on with Penny's? I tried to order pizza at 5:30 on Friday night & got their vm saying there are swamped and not taking orders until Sat. I called from 3-5pm on Sat & phone was busy. I called again today & the phone is busy. Do they only have 1 oven? Really how good can their pizza be?
