La Scala's resturant

I've been to the Comcast Center LaScala's several times, and finally went to the main restaurant on 7th and Chestnut.

The pizza dough is LaScala's claim to fame, a homemade recipe that has won rave reviews for sister restaurant Apollo pizza. It's a harder crust with an excellent taste and mixes well with the sauce and cheese. Regardless of toppings, the pizzas deserve their praise

The chicken parmigiana was excellent. The chicken was juicy and the mozzarella was tasty. The sauce also tastes great and is not too sweet.

The restaurant itself does not use a fake Italian facade. It is modern American design, sleek and lightly decorated. It is more symbolic of Italian Americans and their current status instead of attempting to show local rubes Italy with stereotypical roman decor. Prices range from $10-20, well worth the quality of food served.

Comcast Center: Jake & Max's

The next edition in a continuing series on the eateries in the Comcast Center. As a bonus, here's my review of Tokyo Sushi: learn to spell "Philadelphia."

The newest addition to the Market is Jake & Max's, a simple deli. As long as the food is edible, people will continue going here. Yes, it's obvious, but they currently are one of the cheaper places to eat in the Comcast Center. It doesn't have the same fancy facade as DiBruno's, LaScala's or Tokyo Sushi; Jake & Max's is just a series of cabinets that double as the specials board.

The Deli is split into two main sections: salad and deli. In addition to the relatively low price, the salads are large. The Europa salad was filling and used fresh ingredients. The mozzarella was tasty, but the prosciutto did not have the expected flavoring--it just tasted like ham.

The sandwich side offers a wide variety of choices, the panini being one of the cheaper selections. The Italiano panini is an excellent mix of chicken, provlone, peppers and spinach. All the ingredients blended together in a better than anticipated manner.

The only issue with this Deli is few of the staff have experience working in a Deli (and by extension, how to make the specific meals). Outside of this one issue, Jake & Max's is an excellent addition to the Market at Comcast Center.
