Acropolis Pizza in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, has been named the Best of Philly Pizza winner for 2011. Located along Marshall Road in Lansdowne, this small neighborhood shop offers it all: a friendly staff, easy access, convenient parking, and prompt delivery service.
Ask owner Paul Deenis why Acropolis stands out, and he will give you three simple reasons — quality, service, and the ovens. While many pizza shops today rely on conveyor-belt style ovens, Acropolis uses traditional Blodgett ovens. According to Deenis, who has owned the shop for eleven years, pan pizza “tends to be best suited for these ovens,” producing a flavor and texture you just can’t get from a conveyor.
Traditional pan pizza has been a cornerstone of the Greek-owned pizza business in the Philadelphia area since at least the 1960s, and possibly as far back as the 1950s. At Acropolis Pizza, that old-fashioned method is alive and well.
