Zavino | Keeping up with a westward-expansion trend that we’ve been seeing so much of lately, Zavino, Midtown Village’s wood-fired-pizza staple, recently opened a University City location. With a much larger kitchen (and dining area) Zavino’s 2.0 menu includes 13th Street favorites like the pistachio pesto-topped Stache pizza and veal and ricotta meatballs. This new spot also offers a selection of larger plates like Tuscan steak with salsa verde and half a roasted Amish chicken with brussels sprouts, pancetta and sage. Open Sun.-Thu., 4:30 p.m.-10 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 4:30 p.m.-midnight. 3200 Chestnut St., 215-823-6897, zavinohospitalitygroup.com.

Federal Donuts | Located on perhaps the quaintest block of Sansom Street (in West Philly), the newest jewel in the Federal Donuts crown has a few new additions on the chicken-and-doughnuts menu. Joining the lineup are marshmallow marshmallow and chocolate-covered strawberry flavors. Fried chicken, available daily after 11 a.m., is coming in Asian-inspired flavors like pad Thai with chili, lime and peanuts, and furikake with toasted sesame, bonito and nori. Open Mon.-Sat., 7 a.m.-7 p.m. 3428 Sansom St., 267-275-8489, federaldonuts.com.
