Last spring, GM reported that a pizza place was planning on moving into the old Philadelphia Cheeseteak Factory (and old old Cellar Door) building. It was going to be called Fuhggetaboutit and it was going to feature New York style pizza recreating New York City quality water.

As briefly mentioned Tuesday, a new restaurant called “Fuhggetaboutit” is planning to open where the Philadelphia Cheesesteak Factory used to be (and where the Cellar Door was before that).

Fuhggetaboutit NY pizza(Faipizza.com) is not your typical pizza chain!
We will be serving unfailing goodness of real authentic NY style pizza that is handcrafted and baked in traditional style old school brick oven.We will be making stretching our own Fior Di Latte (Fresh mozzarella) in full view of our customers.

Not to mentioned 18 years of Pizza Experience to perfect the recipe.

GM’s pretty skeptical, but at least one other restaurant uses the same technique/gimmick. We’ll see if the pizza turns out to be more authentic than the restaurant’s name. Continue reading
