Apizzeria 888 by Sebastian, located at 8021 Old York Road in Elkins Park (Cheltenham Township), was featured by The Keystone Newsroom in an article titled “This takeout pizzeria is serving up some of the best pies in the Philly area“.

An excerpt:

When you call the shop’s phone number, you get a voicemail greeting with instructions on how to reserve a pie—though that’s no guarantee you’ll get one. Apizzeria 888 is a one-man operation that is currently open around “12 to 15 hours a week, give or take,” Besiso told me, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. And as a solo pizzaiolo with an exacting attention to detail, he said he’s only making about 15 pies a night right now, having learned the hard way that cranking out 40-50 pies a night on his own was way too many.

“I’d rather serve fewer people at a higher level than everyone at an average one,” owner Sebastian Besiso said. “I’m not building a volume business. I’m building something personal, something recognizable, something that can’t be copied. I want every order to feel like it matters.

The shop, which opened in the fall, was featured by The Philadelphia Inquirer in November.
