Top Picks for Takeout

Bernie’s Glenside

Located in Jenkintown, this critically acclaimed eatery squeezes plenty of creative juice over their classic American fare. Following the upscale-meets-casual trend made popular in big city restaurants, Bernie’s promises something for everyone around your table.

Currently open Wednesday through Saturday, their constantly rotating menu promises to keep things fresh––and never boring. On weekends, Bernie even offers a special take-home brunch menu. You supply the mimosa mix, while they flip the challah French bread, B.E.L.T. sandwiches, and more!

Our Insider Tip: It’s high time you pulled the proverbial sweatpants off your taste buds and slipped into one of Bernie’s umami burgers. Topped with mushrooms, fried egg, roasted garlic aioli, and bacon, it’s the perfect excuse to order a little curbside.

Pizza Brain

Sneaker heads, comic-book nerds, and vinyl collectors all have one big thing in common––an almost unhealthy passion for a niche product. You can count the guys over at Pizza Brain among the obsessive types.

Working out of their funky Fishtown shop, Pizza Brain has been slinging pies and dishing their favorite food group since 2012. In fact, they love ‘za so much, they even transformed part of their building into the world’s first pizza museum.

You read that right. Pizza Brain is a literal shrine to red sauce, a metaphorical Mozz-o-leum, a…you get the idea. 

Our Insider Tip: Double down on your comfort food––try their Felix Hupert pie. Part French onion soup, part pizza, this white pie includes gruyere, caramelized onions, and fresh thyme.

Radice Restaurant

This might be a hard pill to swallow for urban dwellers, but some of the best Italian restaurants in the region are located far off 9^th Street and Passyunk Ave. In fact, to experience one of the best Italian osterias requires you travel all the way out to leafy Blue Bell.

A true suburban jewel, Radice is like a Rossini opera on a plate. From their fresh-sliced antipasti to their carefully crafted list of pietanze, you’ll be belting out your best coloratura in delight. As with all Italian meals, Radice is a perfect option for hungry families with varying palates.

Our Insider Tip: skip the traditional spaghetti with meatballs and instead order their famous pappardelle with duck ragout.
