For the best pizza in this area, try Rizzo's in Glenside. Its on Glenside Avenue just a brief walk from the Glenside train station. The pizza is unlike the pizza you described in Washington. This pizza is round, but it has a wonderful flavorful tomato sauce with just the right amount of cheese and a fantastic crush that's neither too thick, nor too thin.

You may want to try Pica's in Upper Darby on West Chester Pike:

It has the sauce on the top, and cheeze on the bottom, thin crust, and it is square. You may like it better than Ledo's.
