I love me a Margherita slice but I normally order the Grandpa Joe's chicken parm for delivery. The cutlet is fried perfectly and even with delivery, the breading is not soggy and falling off. My only issue is the inconsistent portion size. Some days they feed me like I'm Big Poppa and other days it's like I'm a dainty lil lady. I'm big momma and big momma needs a big momma plate lol. Overall I recommend. read more

We popped in to grab food quick. We were hangry but I was a little leary since the dining area was empty. Not a soul but us. No one. Hate that but hunger won. I needed food...stat! We were seated and ordered 2 waters and a coke. Simple. Ya think. Took a bit. But no matter, gave us time to scan the menu. Settled on pizza and short rib gravy fries. Fries came out pretty quick and they were so good...8 outta 10 because I would have liked more gravy. Lol. . But flavor was delish. Square pizza was ok. Its not my fave but my daughter loved it and so did my son. All in all, it was a good meal. What is nice too was that you can pull right up out front or on the side street no problem. Can't get that on Main St!!! read more

First time trying this place after my daughter recommended it. She knows I am pretty picky about pizza and she has a similar sense of quality food. I ordered two medium pizzas and the garlic Parmesan fries. Well shit the front door, those fries rocked it. If only they would have vented the container! I will have to get them in the restaurant because they were so good. The meat lovers pizza had some truly amazing sauce on it. Nice seasoning without any sweetness. My kind of sauce. The square slices were packed with flavor. The margarita pizza was a little different than what you see more traditionally. It was good but for me it didn't compare. Looking forward to trying some more dishes! read more

My friend and I walked in the other afternoon after the place we originally wanted to try was closed. When we got there the place was completely empty and that should have been our first red flag. We ordered a large margarita pie and some fries. The fries came out first and were insanely oily. I ate some since I was super hungry as we waited for the pizza. When our server brought us the pizza I looked at it and knew it wasn't going to be worth the $26. There was almost no cheese or basil. It was covered in a mostly flavorless sauce, so I ended up loading my slice with all the spices they had on the table. I was disappointed to say the least. We ended up spending right under $50 and it was definitely not worth it. I even ended up not feeling too great after from all the oil on the fries. read more

So I have never actually eaten at Santucci's restaurant, but their takeout is pretty good. They have their own website and you can make modifications to your preference, which is AMAZING! Food was ready on time. Unlike a deep dish pizza, the signature pizza is not too heavy on the sauce or the cheese. It's a great balance and with the ability to add your choice of toppings, you get an almost perfect pizza. Almost because it is on the pricier side. But an easier fix to that is mushroom flatbread which was bigger than the regular size signature style pizza. The baked ziti on the other hand is hearty and the portion size makes it so easy to share! Also they always send coupons for next time. Great pies at great price ! read more

Do not recommend. Oily and soggy pizza. The hot wings are terrible, they give you big wings and just poured the sauce on the top, most of the wings were not evenly coated. Great service by the cashier. read more

So my biggest advice is to not eat this super hot! I let it cool down a bit and it tasted a lot better. I liked it, I guess my taste in pizza is a little less saucy and a little more cheesy. The garnish was a bit over powering for me. I know this is one of the best pizza spots though so definitely worth a try! read more

Gotta up my rating here based on the sandwiches themselves. Since Tavern on Ridge closed needed a new go to. This place fits the bill. $11.88 for a sandwich with fries. Pretty good price point when some place here charge more than that and don't include the fries. Gave napkins and ketchup too. Great presentation . Delicious Buffalo chicken cheesesteak! Chunk chicken meat well seasoned. Fries were medium thickness sprinkled with sea salt...tasty. read more

Had takeout for lunch at work and it was fantastic. The orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe was delicious and so was the side caesar. The side salad was a great portion and the creamy caesar was so delicious and garlicy. Can't wait to get another pasta dish! read more

It was hard to figure out whether to give them a 3 or 4. We tried the pizza, hot Buffalo wings, and the fried peppers. All of them were a decent portion and the wings were a great size. The peppers also came with a side of very soft, parmesan dusted Italian bread. While the portions were good and they were not stingy on the toppings, everything just lacked much depth in flavor. The pizza was similar to a pan crust from pizza hut, the toppings were plain, sauce was plain, and the cheese being underneath didn't have that nice gooey "pull". The peppers and wings were more hot than anything else. So, for the quality, I could have ordered a cheaper pizza elsewhere. I'd probably try the wings again in another flavor though (definitely larger than most) read more

Love Santuccis. It's our go to pizza night place! Whether dining in or delivery, always a favorite.

They put the sauce on top of the cheese... Honestly, I'm not sure why people seem to get worked up over that. Does it impact the flavor profile in anyway? I mean, I guess you might want to be more careful while you eat it, otherwise, let's judge the pie by its attributes and not their location! So, about that pie. It's also square, which makes every piece have a nice solid edge to grab and some crust to enjoy. I'm far from a pizza connoisseur, but I found myself enjoying our plain pie a lot more than I figured. We grabbed the pie to-go and didn't have to wait that long. The staff was more than willing to assist with special requests (including putting the sauce under the cheese should you really want). The price didn't break the bank either. Overall, I'm certainly happy to see more options in the Manayunk area but still want them to be good. Santucci's hits the mark! read more

Great Sauce wonderful crust. Outstanding combination of sauce and crudt crust makes for a wonderful pizza pie.

Food is awesome, but DO NOT EVER SELECT THE DELIVERY OPTION!!!!! We have been waiting for over 1 1/2 hours for our food, and when I called they said "on the way". More time expired and I called back requesting my food and a full refund, when she told me there was no manager on site and the manager would "call me". A lengthy conversation ensued when I said my husband would be picking up the food and we do not want to be charged...no response!!! What a shit show!! They should not offer delivery! PS-not the first time we have ordered delivery from them and it has taken FOREVER!!! ( only the second time-we gave them another chance-epic fail) KNOW YOUR LANE-DON'T OFFER DELIVERY!!! You suck at it!!!!! read more

Santucci's is located right off of Ridge Ave. There's plenty of parking and if you can't find street parking, there's a free parking lot about a half-block behind. We usually park there and cut through the lighted alley. I'm not sure if all locations are like this, but its a BYO. I love that Philly has a million BYOs, except I always forget to bring something. Also to note, this located is cash only. There is an ATM on the premises but just bring some cash. The menu looked delicious. Plenty of pizza options, appetizers, salads, sandwiches, pasta, and some main entrees. I think the special of the day was the Red Snapper. Also, they had quite the dessert menu. I think it had like 9 different desserts from raspberry tortes to chocolate cakes to cannolis. If you know me, you know I love cannolis. I've been to this location many times and the pizza is always stellar. We typically get the medium or large pizza (big enough for at least 2 full meals for 2 people) and get pepperoni and banana peppers. We've also gotten the sausage which was delicious. "The works" pizza was the first one we ever ordered. It's their original square pizza that had pepperoni, sausage, onions, mushrooms, and green peppers. Instead of green peppers, we got banana peppers. The crust was crunchy but soft in the middle. The pizza had a good cheese to topping ratio and the cheese pull was awesome. I didn't care for the calamari. It did come with a sriracha mayo that was pretty tasty, but overall the calamari was subpar. The breading was salty and the texture was slightly rubbery. The cannoli was huge. The amount of ricotta cream filling was unreal. We got it to-go and it was delicious. There was a ton of chocolate chips that made it super tasty. It had just the right amount of sweetness, creaminess, and chocolate. The wait staff has been so friendly. We are always seated quickly. It's never particularly busy when we go, usually past dinner time. The wait staff is always attentive and quickly refills the water and brought fresh plates after the appetizer (if we order one). read more

I've had Santucci's Pizza a half dozen times or so, and it's always been OK. I like upside down pizza, so, and it's always a halfway decent pie. However, the last couple times it kind of sucked. The pie did not have its usual flavor, and things just seemed... Off. These pies are expensive, and I expect better. I'll probably try it again, but there are other, better options. read more

I seriously don't get why there are so many bad reviews for this place. I live in walking distance to Santucci's and while I've only ordered pizza for takeout, I've never had any issues. It is cash only and they no longer offer medium pies like their menu states, but don't let those tiny things ruin your opportunity to try some Philly square pizza. The inside of Santucci's is rustic looking and its BYOB. Thick crust, square pizza isn't typically my style but this pie is the real deal. The crust is perfect, their sauce is the right amount of sweet, and the small is the perfect portion for 2! The pizza is served with cheese on the bottom and their flavorful sauce on top. If you like pizza with extra sauce, this will be right up your alley. Only negative is that it's slightly pricey, but I'll still be coming to Santucci's for my square pizza fix! read more

Santucci's... the original 3 star pizza. Mr and Mrs Santucci can't be happy how this is working out. Undertrained staff on a Tuesday late morning trying their best, but falling short in the cut-throat Roxborough pizza universe. Come on franchise owner, honor the company founders and bring your A Game!! Heavy sauced. Unmelted cheese. Thin ho-hum crust. read more

If you like square pizza you will love Santucci's. I find myself constantly returning to Santucci's when I'm craving scrumptious square pies. The construction, look, and taste may be unique, but it's always delicious. In fact, I've found that those who don't enjoy Santucci's acknowledge its quality, but simply prefer New York, Neapolitan, or Greek style pizza. There is a wide variety of items beyond pizza, but so far I've only had the fries and wings. Both of which I found to be mediocre (hence the four stars). However, in their defense, I have heard the meatball subs and braised short rib sandwiches are great. Bottom line - I'm a fan of Santucci's and would definitely recommend their pizza. read more

Found this place on Yelp.. The service sucks & the food is meh! I called ordered Chicken Marsala, 6 Garlic Parmesan wings & 6 Honey Chipotle wings (I already know the wings are already pre-bagged before cooked. I asked the phone girl please try to give me all flat wings I hate the drums) Didn't get my food till an hour! GOT ALL DRUMS! My 6 wing was the tip!!!!! Not even a full wing. Definitely will not order here again, not impressed. read more

The pizzas we've ordered have great flavor. Dinged one star for two reasons: 1) the crust is unreliable. Sometimes it's perfect and other times way too soggy. 2) twice they have ignored my customization of the veggie pizza asking them to not include spinich, which my husband isn't supposed to eat. read more

Being a tourist, I had to see what the deal was with the square "Philly" style pizza. Perfect opportunity to grab some here as we headed back to our hotel from a day downtown. It was starting to snow so we got a large Works and a side Caesar to go. The pizza was made fresh and super quick in about 15 minutes and I definitely liked trying their style of pizza with the cheese underneath the tomato sauce. Only gripe I had was the side salad. For $6 it was the smallest handful of lettuce, probably looked smaller since it barely filled the to-go container halfway. I guess I didn't come there for salad, but it was just kind of sad looking. So lesson learned. Stick with just the pizza at a pizza spot read more

I'm guilty to admit that my pizza cravings usually lead to an order from Dominos or Papa Johns. Courtesy of some TV shows, I was feeling adventurous and I came across Santucci's. Now I've seen these square slices around before and never gave them a second thought - they looked a little...bland? And why was there no cheese? Please don't make the same mistake and give these a try if you haven't! I got a margarita personal pie, and was floored by how good the sauce on this was. Perfectly tangy, but not too much and it had hints of oregano. The crust holds up well, and has a satisfying crunch to it too! Which seems surprising considering the sauce, but then you remember the cheese is on the base on this style of pizza and it all makes more sense... If I had to knit-pick, I'd say the mozzarella on the top of the pizza could have more flavour to it, but it still went well with the remaining pizza. I got garlic bread on the side, and that was the only let down of the meal. It seemed just like shredded hoagie bread tossed with some garlic. I wouldn't ordinarily give a 5/5 if any aspect of the meal was disappointing, but that's really testament to how much I enjoyed this pizza! This is easily my new go-to pizza joint in the area! read more

I had seen that they opened last time I was in the area and was eager to try! Next time my bf and I were craving pizza we ordered delivery! The website is fairly easy to use and it's nice that you can customize each half of the pizza easily. We ordered a large pizza with sausage and different veggies on each half and then a Caesar salad. The delivery was not super quick but the pizza was with the wait! The pizza was delicious and they did get every part of the order correct but the menu only says olives which I assumed were black olives but are actually kalamata. They should update the online menu to make that clear! The Caesar salad was so small and bland and for $10 felt like a rip-off so probably will stick to pizza next time. Overall I'll definitely order pizza from here again! Who knew sauce on top of cheese is so delicious read more

This pizza is very good and would get a higher rating from me if it wasn't so damn expensive and actually put toppings on the pizza when ordered. If you order a normal sausage pizza they pizza they literally put '1' crumble of sausage on each slice. So if you really want sausage you have to order the extra, extra, extra sausage ... i dont think there's a 4 level of sausage but they way they spread it on there the could use another level and it still wouldn't be enough. So, with all those extras it really adds up fast. So... its a good pizza just too expensive with all the extra extra extras to get it to where it ready should be. read more

5 years ago I could honestly say that this was the best pizza I have ever had, no exaggeration. I don't know what happened but it's gone completely down hill. Ordered last night and the pizza was gross. Threw half of it in the trash. The dough had no taste, sauce was completely watery, and barely any cheese. Such a shame because I used to LOVE this pizza. read more

This is hands down my favorite pizza! Now I branched out and tried the salad with Bibb lettuce and apples and it is heaven (for a salad). I licked my fingers after every bite. The dressing is amazing. I could never pick between pizza and salad so I will have to get them both from now on read more

It's definitely not your "traditional" pizza if you're looking for that, but it's great in its own way. The pizza was soft yet crunchy, the sauce was nice and kinda sweet, and it wasn't too cheesy which I liked. I ordered pepperoni and wished they put more on it though...especially since they charge per topping. read more

Santucci's Original Square Pizza - Margherita pizza - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

It honestly pains me to write this review. Just to start, I've been eating at Santuccis since I was 5, literally. I've been going since they were on O street and literally grew up eating this pizza. I've been to numerous locations throughout the city and even some that aren't around anymore. In my younger years I've even worked for Mr. Santucci, their sons Joe and Rob. Our experience tonight was a major disappointment. We were sat immediately but not greeted for a few minutes. Our server was very friendly but that's about it. I ordered an ice tea and received a sprite. She was apologetic. We started with the fries with cheese. At $6.50 we had high hopes. The idea of hand cut fries is great but you need to season them! There was literally no seasoning on them and they were just bland. Major bummer! If you charge $6.50 for an order of fries, they need to be perfect. Now for the pizza. We ordered a large pie half sausage and extra cheese. It was just okay. Maybe it's just different then the Santuccis I'm used too. The pizza was thicker and the cheese was different. It didn't taste the same. The crust was nice a crispy but it was too thick. The cheese while good, just threw us off. They were very skimpy on the sausage. The pieces were very small compared to other stores. Again, when you charge $22.00 for a pizza, let's make it perfect. Another major disappointment! Finally it's cash only. Seriously it's 2018! They do offer an ATM in store with a fee. Not all is bad with this location. First it's a byob which is great. The restaurant itself is clean and the decor is nice. Their presentation is also very good compared to the other locations. I can tell they are trying to differentiate themselves from the other locations. That's not a bad thing. The problem is when people are expecting the same consistent pizza they are used too. Again, I'm not saying the pizza was bad, it was just different and didn't taste like any of the northeast locations. Overall it was okay but not great. We wouldn't go out of our way to return. Solid 2 stars. read more
