It’s no surprise that at this 101-year-old bakery, it’s the pizza dough that rules. The spongy, square, subtly yeasty pillows beneath the room-temp cookie-tray Sicilian tomato pies (served in various iterations, including straightforward cheese-less, garlicky sauce-less, pepperoni-and-mozz betrayals of the pie ideal, and the \Mabladonna\ with spinach, sliced tomatoes, ricotta and garlic) taste like South Philly itself. But it’s Iannelli’s little-known, call-ahead pizzas with their recently perfected thin-and-crispy crusts (available in white or grainy, hearty, whole wheat) that just might seal the family’s success through the next century.
