Santucci Square Pizza has produced superior quality and service since 1959. Our unique pizza starts with fresh dough made daily; we then combine the most superior seasonings to produce our famous Santucci sauce. Instead of placing it underneath a layer of grated cheese like other pizzerias, we take the finest 100% whole milk mozzarella cheese, slice it and place it directly on the dough and place the sauce on top. This unique pizza has twice won "Philadelphia Magazine's " Best of Philly Award.

Our advanced computer system tracks every facet of the operation. Our dedication to excellence is evident by our use of superior ingredients to produce a better tasting pizza.
