Santucci’s Original Square Pizza is more than a beloved tradition — it’s a Philadelphia institution. Known for our iconic square pizza, we have earned praise not only from generations of loyal customers but also from local and national press. While our guests will always be our greatest fans, we’re grateful for every press and media article and award mention that highlights our passion for great food and family tradition.
We’ve been called everything from a “hidden gem of Ocean City” by OCNJ Daily to “some of Philly’s best pizza” by Philadelphia Magazine. For over six decades, we’ve proudly served authentic Italian-American cuisine with a commitment to quality that continues as we expand into New Jersey and beyond.
While our customers will always be our top priority, we’re honored when our passion for superior food and family tradition is recognized by the media and industry leaders.
We have been voted Best Pizza in Philadelphia multiple times — a true distinction in one of the most competitive pizza markets in the country. And recently, Santucci’s was inducted into the prestigious Pizza Today Hall of Fame, an honor reserved for multi-location pizzerias still run by the original family.
Now in our third generation of ownership, with our fourth generation in training, every member of the Santucci family is deeply involved in carrying forward the values, flavor, and excellence that started it all. Recognition like this would make our founders proud — and inspires us to keep improving while honoring our roots.
