The elder gods of heirloom, roma, plum and all things red and juicy have spoken and said that the sauce at this one-man, one-oven joint in Port Richmond is the best that you’re going to find in the area. Pizza fanatics will rejoice that what sits atop Tacconelli’s so-fresh-you-have-to-call-ahead crust (they only make enough to fill daily orders) leans more in the direction of two parts sauce to one part cheese than anything else. The red is sweet, yet complex, and bold enough that it could easily hold its own on South Philly’s pseudo-Little Italy streets despite the shop’s Northeast location.
