Six days of the week, patrons of Lucky Duck<\/a> can order spicy pepperoni and sour cream and onion pies. But the riverside restaurant’s latest thin-crust pizza is only available on Saturday and Sunday mornings \u2014 and it comes with maple syrup.<\/p>\n

The Northern Liberties<\/a> newcomer, which opened in March<\/a>, recently introduced weekend brunch service. The menu<\/a> features staples like French toast and eggs Benedict alongside a more exotic “breakfast pizza.” That’s not a stealth frittata; it’s an actual pie made with the same tavern-style dough that Lucky Duck uses for its standard pizza.<\/p>\n

“Unlike other breakfast pies, we don’t put egg on ours, as all of the other ingredients and flavors still make it feel like you’re eating a classic breakfast plate,” Sanil Shah, chef and co-owner, said via email. “Our pies are thin and crispy, and adding egg would make it too wet or messy to eat.”<\/p>\n

What does it have instead? The breakfast pizza has a caramelized onion bechamel base topped with mozzarella, hash browns, maple syrup and a fennel, sage and brown sugar breakfast sausage. That’s all drizzled with a swirl of garlic sour cream, making, in Shah’s words, “a breakfast bomb.”<\/p>\n

The restauranteur, who also co-owns Libertee Grounds<\/a> in Francisville, first baked this unusual brunch dish in an Ooni portable pizza oven at an early morning Eagles tailgate. Now it’s moved off the blacktop and into the self-described “neighborhood bar,” where customers can order brunch from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.<\/p>\n
