Delaware County is no stranger to good Italian food with pizza shops catering to a variety of styles dotting the landscape.

Here are six of the best pizza shops in Delaware County., writes Eric Henderson and the staff of PhillyBite Magazine.

1. Pica’s Restaurant in Upper Darby is a neighborhood favorite that features classic Italian with generous portions. It’s here you’ll find its famous thin-crusted Sicilian-style rectangular pan pizza served with the sauce on top of the cheese.
2. Napoletano Brothers in Springfield is full of flavor. Its Pepperoni Pizza is a show-stopper.
3. Emilio’s Pizza in Folsom is a neighborhood favorite that offers five sizes of 80s-style pizza.
4. Pinocchio’s Restaurant in Media claims to be the first pizzeria in Delaware County and the oldest restaurant in Media.  These days, the 1955-circa pizzeria is known for its beer selection, including a large selection of craft beers.
5. Secane Pizza in Secane has crunchy and cheesy pizza made daily with fresh dough and a unique blend of cheese and sauce.
6. Leandro’s Pizza House in Upper Darby has a pleasant dine-in atmosphere and pizza that has a thin and crispy crust with toppings that are flavorful and savory.

Dave heads to Pica’s in Upper Darby for a classic Delco One Bite review and gets a crash course in what Delco life really means along the way. The square pie, the sauce-on-top, the old-school charm… it all adds up to a surprisingly strong score and a love letter to one of Delco’s most fiercely proud spots.
