Anomalia Pizza, a newly opened New York-style slice shop in Fort Washington, offers both round and square pies that are well worth the trip, writes Michael Klein for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The shop makes 18-inch round pies with a thin yet sturdy crust that easily supports generous toppings like cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and olive oil, showcased on the popular bruschetta pie.
A local favorite is Anomalia’s drunken grandma, a crispy, buttery-bottomed square pie layered with fresh mozzarella and rich vodka sauce infused with pancetta for extra flavor. Other highlights include the stromboli mozzarella and the carrozza, a mozzarella stick in sandwich form.
Owners Deena Fink, a Long Island native, and Frank Innusa, originally from Florida, met while working at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square. After marrying in 2018 and moving to Florida, they discovered a shared passion for cooking that grew into an obsession for Innusa during the pandemic.
“I’d wake up thinking about it and go to sleep thinking about it,” he said.
After the pandemic, the couple relocated to the Philadelphia area to make their dream of owning a pizza shop a reality, finding the ideal location in Fort Washington.
