pizza jawn

Yes, I realize this is just a close up of pepperoni pizza. But please understand, this is not just pepperoni pizza. This is Pizza Jawn. The pizza that got me through the pandemic, back when you had to sign up on Instagram every Monday to secure a weekly pickup from the owner’s house like it was some kind of underground operation. Remember when we were all stuck at home and the simple things felt thrilling? Like leaving the house and successfully picking up pizza from a stranger’s driveway?

Well, that stranger now operates out of barjawn.com in Manayunk like a true professional, but I’ll never forget the early driveway days.
