UPenn classic bar/resto with SERIOUS pizza by Enjays. Check their kitchen hours and be careful to go during dinner hours and not to go on sink or swim, or thirsty thursdays or whatever the kids are calling it these days, as this bar fills up with undergrads with a line around the block around 9pm and gets HECTIC. But the pizza is unparalelled; hands down superb delicious scrumptious excellent, as is everything on their very limited menu.
