– Cherry Hill Courier Post – April 19, 2022 –
The Philadelphia pizza shop is opening one block off the Wildwood Boardwalk.
Philly residents James and Erica Burke decided to open a family-owned business they could leave to their children, explained Alicia Santucci of the family pizza franchise.
James, who is a former Philadelphia police officer, and Erica, a radiology nurse, with their two young children will open the ninth location of the Santucci’s Original Square Pizza.
“We’ve been looking in Wildwood for quite a few years now, so we have high expectations for this for this location,” Santucci said.
The location will be BYOB and seat between 30 and 50 guests.
Guests can find starters and sides like garlic parmesan fries and sautéed spinach, salads like classic Caesar and Granny Smith apple (with Bibb lettuce, gorgonzola, pickled red onions, candied walnuts, celery, apple slices and apple cider vinaigrette), soups and sandwiches like braised short rib and buffalo chicken.
There are also pastas and entrees like spaghetti and meatballs, and of course, signature square pies.
Order the Works — the pie with extra cheese, pepperoni, sausage, green peppers, mushrooms and onions — or the BBQ Chicken — white pizza with grilled chicken and barbecue sauce.
Stromboli, flatbreads and signature and boneless wings are also on the menu.
The restaurant will be open year-round. Santucci said they are hoping to open at the end of April.
“It’s going to be easy and hopefully very convenient for Wildwood residents to be able to come in and eat and then take the kids up to the boardwalk or be able to get their food quick and easy,” she said.
