Sun Valley Pizza owner Ted Pappas still has hope of reopening his Montgomery Avenue location, where he spent 14 years.
A September fire. An October hurricane. Perhaps Ted Pappas' new neighbors should prepare for a November landslide, if the elements keep attacking his Sun Valley Pizza restaurant. "It's been a frustrating month," Pappas told Patch Friday morning from Sun Valley's Bryn Mawr location that opened Oct. 20. "But it's so nice to know that people are standing behind me." Pappas opened Sun Valley Pizza 14 years ago on Montgomery Avenue in Narberth. On Sept. 19, the pizzeria and catering business abruptly closed after a fire in the basement, and Pappas had to expedite a decision he was already facing. "We were planning on another location, but when the fire came long we jumped on this right away," Pappas said. "I didn't want to lose our customer …

Check out where the best diners are.
Throughout Northwest Philadelphia and suburbs, Patch polled readers to find the best diners in our towns and neighborhoods. After four days of voting, the winners came in. In Lower Merion, things took a bit longer. There was a tie, between Ruby's Diner in Ardmore or Sam's Grill in Wynnewood, with 15 votes apiece (of a total of 42). The tie-breaker is usually the number of comments a place gets, but there was no solution there. So we kept the poll open through the weekend, asking for comments on either place, or both, and closed it out Monday at 1 p.m. So we turned to the Patch place listings for Sam's Grill and Ruby's Diner. There, Sam's has two ratings: one 4-star review and one 5-star review, and Ruby's has one 2-star review. The winner…
