One of America's best pizzas ... in Manayunk

Gayot and MSN have scoured the country for the best pizza restaurants, and Cooper's Brick Oven Wine Bar -- the next-door neighbor of Jake's in Manayunk -- was named to the top 10.

MSN blurbs: "Fired in a brick oven at the back of the open kitchen, Cooper's pies come topped with crimini mushrooms, fennel sausage, pulled barbecue pork and smoked Gouda. More than 25 wines by the glass along with tasty, well-priced salads and daily specials draw a crowd at this stylish gourmet wine bar, including demanding Main Liners unhappy about waiting. Forget the snippy swarm and tuck into a Roquefort wedge spiked with bacon, or a plate of andouille-stuffed scallops with tarragon pickle sauce, and you'll feel just fine."

    One of America's best? They are not even the best in Manayunk. Alex's Pizza is the best ever.

    Coopers is good but how could this not be Mom's Bake at Home based in Manayunk?? They use the same crust in their stomboli!

    The Couch Tomato in Manayunk is the best pizza. go try their bacon cheeseburger pizza with barbeque sauce.. It'll make your taste buds zoom.

    Everyone knows there literally isnt a good pizza place in Manayunk. Alex's was good like 10 years ago. Couch Tomato is garbage. Santucci Bros is the closest thing to good pizza in the entire Manayunk, East Falls and Rox area.
