She's paid a horrible price." It may seem...

If you try to search Google for Tacconelli's Pizzeria you may, depending on your choice of keywords, find either the original store in Philadelphia or the splinter faction in New Jersey. Perhaps taking a cue from the myriad of splinter cheese steak factions found in Philadelphia, there are two Taconelli’s. Don’t get fooled and schlep out to Burlington County, but instead go to the original in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia.
