Metropolitan Bakery — Restaurant in Philadelphia

The sandwiches are good, but they heat them up with all the ingredients. The tomatoes are like hidden lava chambers even after reasonable time that would allow it to cool to a safe temperature for consumption. (Not the first time I've been burned by their sandwiches.) This is a tort waiting to happen. I only write this because three days later, I'm still having a hard time eating. the burns on the top of my mouth are a constant reminder of my mistake and their negligence.

I would recommend patrons to give themselves extra time to let the sandwich cool down. open it up and watch the steam rise, and be thankful your mouth wasn't destroyed. Then wait an additional 15 min. Or ask if they could remove the tomatoes prior to reheating. However, I doubt all the staff would happily comply. I asked the cashier about an item and he said "it's what the menu says." Great...

I remember the first time we had @metropolitanbakery was when we got their pizza kit 🍕 🧑‍🍳 It was super fun and they gave us the dough, cheese, pepperoni, and specific instructions to make it. Fantastic way to get fresh pizza without having to make the dough from scratch

This time around, we ordered a nice lunch for takeaway and are at home with the family. Got the Margarita and mushroom pizzas 🍕 then lamb chop, Caesar salad from @eatmarathon (they are right across from each other)

Pizzas were nice and crispy packed with flavor but not too overwhelming. They have a nice thin crust , crispy Italian style, with a soft core that blended well with their homemade sauce. Best part is they always have really fresh ingredients. Mushroom comes with a garlic crema, thyme, scallion + belnd of mushrooms and cheeses. , super simple yet fresh & tasty
