Santucci’s Original Square Pizza, known for its distinctive square-shaped pizzas with sauce atop the cheese, has a rich family history dating back to 1959. Founder Joseph Santucci started the business in Juniata Park, Philadelphia, a tradition carried on by his children and grandchildren. The crispy, deep square crusts and sharp tomato sauce has been a hit for generations, with locations across South Philadelphia, Roxborough, and the Jersey Shore, to name a few.
