You can get quite a few different types of pizza in Southampton, but the pizza that Southampton is known for is thin crust. In Southampton they like their thin-crust pizzas so much they even serve tomato pie, which is traditionally a thick crust, with a thin crust base. Other variations of thin-crust pies you'll come across in the Southampton pizzerias are the proverbial New York-style and thin-crust grandma-style tray-bakes. Thin crust pizzas originate from the Naples and Rome regions of Italy. In their simple form they're just a sauce-smothered dough base topped with cheese that melts when baked. In Southampton, though, they like to take things a step further. There are several pizzerias in Southampton that really push the boat out when putting together their topping ingredient combinations, so expect a few surprises when you start reading through their menus.

Trenton

Trenton in New Jersey is a twenty-mile drive east from Southampton and definitely worth a visit even if it's only to eat an authentic Trenton tomato pie at somewhere like Covello's on South Broad Street. There's more to do in Trenton than eat pizza so when you've finished lunch, check out the exhibits in the New Jersey State Museum which also has a planetarium, or take a guided tour around the New Jersey State Senate building. For a walk in beautiful surroundings the Grounds For Sculpture outdoor art museum and gardens is unbeatable, but if you're with kids, guaranteed, they'll enjoy an hour in the Sesame Place amusement park more.

Lima

You'll have no trouble finding outdoor activities if you head to Lima. Lima is around a forty-minute drive west of Southampton and while there's nothing much in Lima itself, around and about it there is. For some great hiking check out the trails in the Ridley Creek State Park where they wind through meadows and alongside the creek. You'll still be outdoors if you stop off to explore the Colonial Pa Plantation or step out on the Rocky Run Trail. The best way to take a break from all the activities is to go for a pizza at La Porta Ristorante which is right on the border of the Ridley Creek State Park and close to the Tyler Arboretum.

Philadelphia

Make the twenty-five-mile trip from Southampton to Philadelphia and you'll be in for a full day without a doubt. For something a little different from a usual museum, pay a visit to the old Eastern State Penitentiary to take a tour of the cells or go to the Independence National Historical Park to take a look at the Liberty Bell. Art fans won't be able to skip visiting the Philadelphia Museum of Art or the Barnes Foundation. If you have kids with you though the best place to take them is the Franklin Institute which is a hands-on science museum. They'll be well ready for a pizza at Circles and Squares on Tulip Street after that, but be prepared for the lecture they give you on thermal energy while you're eating.
