When Mama Palma’s (named for owner Renado Russo’s mother) opened 15 years ago, it introduced gourmet pizza baked in an oak-fired brick oven to the Philadelphia pizza scene. Along with motherly classics like the margherita and clams-and-garlic pies, Mama Palma’s also serves some of the city’s most original (and least mom-ish) pizza combinations—everything from Peking duck with hoisin sauce, mushrooms, scallions and plum sauce, to lump crab and asparagus with lemon and basil. For those so inclined, there are also low-fat and whole wheat versions available, but seriously? Suck it up, you wuss, and eat your pizza the way mom intended—completely covered in clams, asparagus and duck.
