Pizzeria Vetri and Bufad have been going at it for a while with similar style pizzas but personally I generally like Bufad's offerings just a smidge more.

Highlights this go around included a farm egg pizza and a brussel sprouts based offering with speck and balsamic.  The Antipasti provided a sampling of various appetizers and standards including sausage and margherita rounded out the pizza dinner tasting.  Lastly, another fun fact is that Bufad is BYOB.

I returned to Bufad for dinner and it was as good as previously experienced.  The menu has changed a little due to seasonal variations and the crustinis are no longer on the menu.  We were slightly sad as those were quite phenomenal last time but the dishes and pizzas were just as good the second time around.  My favorite pizza this time around was the anchovy, squash, and feta pizza.

Bufad is a new pizza place in the spring garden area of Philadelphia.  The restaurant is cozy and on the small side.  We made the trek over on a Friday night for dinner and were greeted with a 45 min wait.  As the owners also own Prohibition Tap Room we killed some time there and came back.  As it took such a long time we were comped a few items by the gracious staff.  They were definitely accommodating and made a very sincere effort to make us happy.

We sampled three pizzas and three appetizers and were quite impressed with the food.  It is definitely a recommended venue in center city.  It is also a good BYOB for all of you BYOB aficionados.
