In what Philadelphia neighborhood will a pizza pie cost you the most dough? How about the least?
The answers might surprise you.
A recent study released by NPR’s Planet Money takes a look at the price of pizza in more than 200 neighborhoods in five major cities including nearly 60 Philadelphia neighborhoods from South Philly to the Great Northeast.
Philly’s Graduate Hospital neighborhood where a plain cheese pizza costs nearly $15 came out on top – that’s nearly one dollar more than a pizza pie costs in Cheltenham — the second most expensive neighborhood. Center City ($13), Chinatown ($13) and Rittenhouse Square ($12.75) round out the Top 5.
