Come for the mission, stay for the food.

The goal of this black-owned restaurant in North Philly is to reduce recidivism by hiring formally incarcerated folks, paying them fair wages, training them to become chefs – all while serving outstanding, Detroit-style pizza.

The “Yeah That’s Us,” with buffalo chicken and blue cheese

And the hand-cut, spicy crab fries…..🤤🤤 (yup-actual crab + sautéed kale). One order is definitely a meal.

Plus, milkshakes and lemonade.

They do occasional collaborations and specials, so follow on Instagram for updates.

A bit off the regular tourist route, the restaurant is less than a 5 minute drive from West Laurel Hill Cemetery (where you could take your pizza for a slightly spooky picnic).
