Marra's is excellent, but Taconnelli's in Port Richmond is even better. You can't really go wrong at either place.

I really like Tandoor India.  Food is consistently good.  BYOB, however. New Delhi is also very good and they have a liquor license.

The Glenside Rizzo's pizza isn't bad, but I think the stuff at Suburban Station is truly a candidate for WORSE pizza--I tried the spinach & mushroom & got congealed grease with green flecks on cardboard.  How do you spell BLEECH?

Zio's on 13th near Chestnut is edible and has moveable scenery in the macho pizza guys--but By George's at Reading Terminal has much better pizza.

International at somewhere around 11th & Pine used to be pretty ok--has anyone any current info?
