From Pizza Pop-Ups to Sonny's Kitchen
Steven Seibel, affectionately known as Uncle Pizza Party, has built a cult following in Philadelphia for his creative and delicious pizzas. Previously at the helm of Hawthornes' kitchen, Seibel's new role as Executive Chef at Sonny's marks an exciting chapter in his culinary journey. At Sonny's, Seibel is crafting a menu beyond typical bar fare, elevating classic comfort food with his signature flair.
Bar Pies with a Twist
The centerpiece of Seibel's menu at Sonny's is his take on the bar pie. These smaller, shareable pizzas are perfect for enjoying alongside Sonny's extensive cocktail selection. Look for creative options like the "Seasonal Greens" pie with Swiss chard, lemon vinaigrette, mozzarella, confit garlic cream, and honey-whipped ricotta, or the "Prince of South Street" loaded with cup & char pepperoni, San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella, oregano, and a drizzle of honey. The "Sonny's Pomodoro" offers a classic take with mozzarella, San Marzano tomatoes, fried garlic, basil, and oregano.
Comfort Food Elevated
Beyond pizza, Seibel's menu features a tempting array of snacks and appetizers. Indulge in the rich Buffalo Chicken Dip served with kettle chips or the exotic Crab Rangoon Dip with lump crab, scallions, wonton chips, and a sweet chili duck sauce. Other standouts include the Double Smash Burger with Cooper Sharp American cheese, fried onions, special sauce, and the Bang Bang Chicken tenders tossed in a sweet and tangy sauce.
A Perfect Pairing with Sonny's Cocktails
Seibel's food is designed to complement Sonny's extensive and innovative cocktail program. The bar pies' shareable nature and the snacks' bold flavors are a perfect match for the creative drinks being served by Beverage Director Scott Rodrigue. Whether you're sipping on a Japanese highball or a nitro espresso martini, you're sure to find a delicious food pairing on Seibel's menu.
Sonny's Cocktail Joint is shaping up to be a must-visit destination on South Street, and the addition of Steven Seibel to the team is a major draw for Philadelphia food lovers.
