Pizza, vegan and other great takeout spots to consider while quarantining
4 pizza spots to get your takeout on
Pizza and beer is the perfect takeout combination.
We zipped around the city to round up four local spots where you can create your own family meal at home.
Our first stop took us to Naples at the Warehouse in Mullica Hill, N.J. Second, we went to South Philly to check out the new Pizza Plus. We finished off with stops at Attic Brewing Company and Urban Village Brewing Company.
You'll find fresh pizza using house made sauces and they can have it ready for takeout. If you're looking to add a little craft brew to your evening - you can pick up some fresh concoctions from these local breweries whether it's a growler or a can. And when everything gets back to normal you can stop in and grab a table.
