Char sits on West Master Street in Olde Kensington, a wood-fired pizza restaurant with the kind of low-key presence that rewards regulars more than passersby. The pies are the draw, but the meatballs and a ricotta crust dip have developed their own following among people who keep coming back for them specifically.
Service gets singled out often — attentive, warm, the kind that turns a small room into a place people call a hidden gem. Philadelphia Magazine named Char among its best restaurants in 2025.
