Apizzeria 888 by Sebastian, located at 8021 Old York Road in Elkins Park (Cheltenham Township), was featured by The Philadelphia Inquirer in an article titled “I’m obsessed with the pizza at this one-man shop in Elkins Park“.

Described as a “true hole in the wall” without an exterior sign, the story details owner Sebastian Besiso’s one-man show. He “is working for himself and by himself: 40 pies a night, walk-in or call-in, pickup only, limited menu, and no third-party delivery after he got frustrated with UberEats’ fees one night and smashed the order tablet to bits.”

Besiso took over his current location, then called New Venice Pizza, in 2020, and told The Inquirer that he hopes to move on to a larger space one day. In October, he rebranded with his lucky number (“888”).

Hours:

• 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday,
• 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
