Stephen Starr's Philadelphia Pizzeria to Be 'Brooklyn-Style'

Posted by Adam Kuban, May 14, 2009 at 2:00 PM

Radio station KYW uncovers some new details on Philadelphia restaurant mogul Stephen Starr's impending pizzeria:

"I've been wanting to do pizza for a long time because I usually do things that I want. And I can't get really good pizza here in Philadelphia, so I'm just doing what I want to eat!"...
"It's going to be real thin-crust, Brooklyn-style pizza, which you'd think is served here but it's not. Here it's just thick, doughy pizza. We're doing a lot of research on this."

Tentative name: Pizza Select. Starr is shooting for a fall opening. [via The Illadelph]

"thick, doughy pizza?" maybe he's confusing Brooklyn with Chicago? or maybe square slices, which i do not believe is a style that originated Brooklyn. i'd like to know what the sources are for his research...

@egadman -- reread what he said, it's the opposite of what you read.
