Calling all dough devotees and crust connoisseurs! It’s time for a Fabulous Philly Friends three-stop, 1.2-mile urban hike through some of the most highly rated pizza spots in the world. We’re doing this "Reverse Style"—starting at a peaceful park in Port Richmond and ending with drinks and a final feast at The Garage in Fishtown.

The Game Plan
1:00 PM | Meetup & Basecamp: We are meeting at Powers Park (Almond St & E Ann St). This is our "Outdoor Dining Room." There is plenty of easy, safe street parking around the park.** 1:15 PM | The First Round: Our "Scout Team" will grab pies with the iconic Detroit-style thick crusts from Circles + Squares (also enjoyed at the park).*** 1:45 PM | The "Stimulating Conversation" Stroll: We’ll begin our 0.9-mile walk south toward the heart of Fishtown. This is a safe, scenic 15–20 minute walk—perfect for catching up!**
** 2:00 PM | The Palmer Park Picnic: We’ll arrive at Palmer Park (Frankford & Palmer). While the group relaxes, the Scouts will grab the world-famous Pizzeria Beddia pies (1 block away). We’ll enjoy these "World’s Best" slices right there in the park.*** 2:30 PM | The Garage Grand Finale:* We’ll walk the final 2 blocks to **The Garage Fishtown (100 E Girard Ave). Grab a table and a drink!
** *2:45 PM | The Victory Lap: Once we’re settled at the bar, we’ll grab the final slices from Pizza Shackamaxon **(right next door!) to pair with our beers and celebrate a successful 1.2-mile journey.
The Deets:
*** Cost: We’ll be ordering "Family Style" to share everything. Please bring 25–35 in CASH **to cover your share of the pies, tax, and tip. It makes the "Pizza Kitty" much easier to manage!
** *Two Parks, One Bar: We get the best of both worlds! Fresh air for the first three stops and a comfortable bar with Skee-Ball and drinks for the finish.*** Scout Team: I’ll be looking for 3-4 volunteers to help me "shuttle" pies from the shops to the parks so the rest of the friends can keep the conversation going!*** Seating: Powers Park has benches, but with a big group of us, feel free to bring a lightweight folding chair or a picnic blanket.*** Drinks: The Garage is a bar (21+ only), so bring your ID! They have a massive selection of beers and sodas to pair with our final slices.
*** The Return Trip: The walk back to our cars at Powers Park is about 22 minutes. For those who don't want to walk back, we can easily split a 5-minute Uber **at the end of the event (approx. 2–3 per person).
*** The Weather: **In the event of heavy rain, this will be rescheduled. If it drizzles, we’ll pivot our park time and head to The Garage a little earlier.
Why You Should Join Us:
We are hitting** Pizzeria Beddia (voted one of the best in the world) and the "no-frills" perfection of Shackamaxon**, plus the neighborhood gems that are currently taking the city by storm. It’s 1.2 miles of walking, 4 different styles of pizza, and 100% fabulous vibes.
This is officially the most well-planned pizza tour in Philly history. Who’s in?
