Pizza West Chester

Chester CountyPizza$

What might come off as austerity at Pizza West Chester — three choices of 16-inch pie, limited hours, no seating, no slices, no toppings, no phone, no website — is simply a matter of clarity. Owner and pizzaiolo Speer Madanat has a clear vision for his pies: a well-done, blistered crust, with an assertive, Jersey tomato-based sauce, two different mozzarellas with a sprinkling of umami-packed Grana Padano at the end. His fanaticism in executing that vision across every single pie results in what are likely the very best pizzas in a region with no shortage of contenders.
