    Red pie, mushrooms, roasted red peppers

    Honestly, one of the best square/Sicilian style pies in the city. The dough is flaky and airy. The toppings are fresh and the sauce is a nice consistency that's not overbearing. A fantastic option, that's been consistent over the years if you're looking for this kinda style.

    This was one of the tastiest square pies I've had! I think this might've been called the Brooklyn? Can't remember... especially once it was in my mouth. It's probably one of the best 20 dollar purchases I've ever had! However, it was one of the worst dining experiences we've had... and what keeps us from going back... after being seated we had to wait almost an hour for pizza. The girl employee tried to encourage us to order appetizers or drinks (likely cause she knew there would be a wait...) but walking in all we saw was one party of 8 and just us. We remained patient as we saw they also took phone orders and only saw one guy making pizzas and another young man carrying flour... but two parties that arrived later complained about the wait and said they were going to leave and got served pizzas before us... it also sucked because we saw people order pizzas to go 20 mins after we ordered our pizza get frustrated with their standing waits get their pizza before us. It was especially frustrating cause when they opened their box to check their pizza it was literally the pizza we ordered. Payment process was also not organized Maybe it was an atypical day... Pizza was great, but hope they improve their service!

    omg omg omfggggggg this place must be known . if i had to wait an hour and a half for this pizza which i didnt twas 20 min , i still would rave about how good my MVP pizza was . holy cabooses this place got it right !!!! try it . i know im going back for more . til next time !!! Its byob fyi

    Where's the cheese?  And why is that one part burnt like someone put out a cigarette on it?

    This pizza is so bad I stopped and ate a salad instead. It's easily the 3-5 worst pizza of my life...I am truly shocked and taken aback by how bad it is versus the ratings.

    I love square pie! Their sauce is unreal and is in perfect proportion with the cheese. And I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's a favorite of my 90 year old grandmother and queen. She has a hard time chewing but their Sicilian is nice and fluffy. (Close seconds for her are Angelo's Sicilian and la Rosa...Emmy squared can be hit or miss on how well done it is.)

    My, My, My the pizza was sooo good!! I got every bit of my 20.00 worth at square pie! So I was in the area for work and was looking for something quick to pick up for lunch and I saw square pie. I ordered online and went in the store about 15 minutes later and it was ready when I arrived. I ordered the white pizza and decided to add pepperoni for some razzle dazzle! The first bite was yum at first bite! The dough was light crispy and soft at the same time...yea I don't know how they did it either....and the cheese was flavorful and garlicky, it didn't need nothing added to this pizza it was perfect just the way it was, oh and the pepperoni cups was chef's kiss! What more can I say this pizza was delightful by far one of the best pizza I had. Customer service was also great. I definetly look forward to returning!

    Great neighborhood gem! The staff was very helpful and accommodating of my friend and I requesting to get the speciality pizzas without various meats. We got the MVP and white sausage (both without meat) and they were awesome! The MVP is some of the best pizza I've had, the vodka sauce and flavors are amazing. The atmosphere is very cozy. It is also a byob.

    My little baby and I had been working our asses off, so wanted a day to just watch movies and demolish a pizza. The soul just needs a full pig out day every now and then. We had our heart set on Angelo's Pizzeria, but after waiting in a line stretching the block we were told "we aren't making any more pizzas." A crushing blow to the heart, mind, and soul. I was pouting like an 8 year old on the walk back, when my baby said "We could try Square Pie, it's new and supposed to be really good!" I was still crushed from the Angelo's defeat and responded with a "yeah, whatever." She ordered a Large Red pie with Pepperoni on top, and when I opened the box I was in disbelief. It looked SO good. Like an angel spreading its wings. It's a thick square pizza doused in red sauce, mozzarella, topped with perfectly crisped pepperonis and has an elite crunch on the crust. It tasted even better than it looked. We sat there watching White Chicks, ripping through this pizza slice by slice, brick by brick. It was sensational and everything I could have asked for on a pig out day. Sometimes, God closes the Angelos door and opens the Square Pie window. You gotta keep the faith.

    Pepperoni red pie

    Came here after drinking coffee in the area and we were starving for lunch. The place is quite cold, despite the double doors. Service is super friendly and prompt. I can imagine it would be really cute at night with the intimate seating and lighting. During the day it's just okay, haha. We ordered a small red pie and a small white. It took a little longer than expected to come out, despite how empty it was, but it was worth the wait. The crust is super crispy and had a great flavor. We liked the red over the white spinach pie, the white was a tad bland for us.

    Amongst three, we shared the Caesar Salad and two small pizzas - one red sauce and one white sauce pie. The Caesar Salad was a bit salty in my opinion but the garlic and pepper helped offset the creaminess/heaviness one might feel. The dough was out of this world - having tastes of an everything bagel seasoning with the texture of a ciabatta, so you'll end up finishing every bite (no crusts left behind)! I'd love to come again and try their other specialty pies.

    Sometimes 5 stars just isn't enough! So is the case for the experience I had this weekend at Square Pie. A quiet Sunday lunch with a bottle of cabernet, two "small" pizzas, and a perfect house salad. I'll get into the food, of course, but more important to me is the fact that I came here and felt immediately initiated into the Square Pie family: literally. Owner/chef Giuliano was tucked away in the kitchen while his dad served my boyfriend and I with the kind of immediate care and welcoming nature you can only find in an Italian joint run by native South Philadelphians. We had made plans to come here as an extra special post-half marathon meal and got so much more than we bargained for at every level. As for the food, the pepperoni pizza is the best pizza I've had in Philadelphia and it's not close. Pardon my french, but I am Philly pizza's number one shit talker. I love Pizzata and I love Paulie Gee's and a few of the other spots that specialize in specific styles, but I overwhelmingly find Philly's pizza scene to be...unfortunate. Cue the Shrek credits because I am now a believer. The cup and char pepperoni holds honey and oily perfection in every bite, with a crust that melts in your mouth. Sauce matches sweetness to acidity and isn't heavy handed. Or maybe it's that everything is a little heavy handed and that's what makes it magical? Who cares. I tried to savor every bite but I am already daydreaming about the next time I can drink wine and eat this pizza. The romaine salad was a recommendation and shouldn't be skipped! Roasted tomatoes bring it all together but the red wine vinaigrette and jelly yolk boiled egg make it pack extra punch. The pizza on special was amazing as well - covered in brussels and fontina and caramelized onions. They post their special pies on Instagram and I think they change weeklyish. Delivery is available on Slice and Uber Eats, something I know I'll be taking advantage of in the near future. That being said, it's hard to replicate the fun of dining in. Square Pie has updated their hours so if it's been a minute, grab a bottle of wine and settle in. Pizza cheers!

    Ordered on Uber eats. They partner with a third party to actually deliver. Arrived quickly. Very thick pizza with soft crust and was honestly some of best pizza I have had.

    I'm a person that loves pizza! I've tried pizza from a lot of places. This is the BEST pizza I've EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! Thank you. I will be back.

    We were able to get a last-minute reservation on a Saturday night, and I'm so happy we did! We've…read morebeen here a couple of times. I actually celebrated my birthday here last year and this place is always a hit, never a miss! We started with the cucumber and tomato salad and the country bread, and what a delicious combination! We also ordered a side of olive oil, and they seriously have some of the best olive oil I've had in a while. I definitely recommend getting some on the side to dip your country bread in. Trust me! We paired everything with a pitcher of sangria, which gives you about four drinks and was much more economical than ordering individual cocktails. I finally tried the chicken Parmesan, and boy, am I kicking myself for not trying it sooner! The chicken breast was thick, juicy, moist, and perfectly crunchy. Some places make their chicken Parm so thin that it barely feels like you're eating chicken, but this was an actual substantial piece of chicken with the perfect bite. Our waitress told me I could swap out the pasta and sauce that normally come with the chicken Parmesan, so of course I did! I got the rigatoni with vodka sauce, and it was DELIGHTFUL. The portion was massive, so I took leftovers home and yes, I absolutely ate them the very next day! My fiancé got the branzino and wanted something lighter so he could help me with the rigatoni. His plate was beautifully presented, the fish tasted incredibly fresh, and it was exactly what he wanted. Overall, we had another wonderful experience. This restaurant will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we'll definitely be back! A special shoutout to our waitress, who was absolutely delightful and told me I could change the pasta and sauce with my chicken Parmesan. You changed my life! You have no idea how happy you made me. I wish I had gotten your name, but truly, everyone there is always so lovely. Thank you for another amazing experience!

Everything was as perfect as it could be why is that because this restaurants been doing it for over 126 years they know a thing or two their customers and had to prepare plate delicious meals.

Our server, Justin came over to greet us. We got into some conversation before we even touched upon the food. He was exceptional at his run through the menu, his explanations on preparations handling questions. This was definitely not his first, not his second and not his third rodeo he's definitely a professional at what he does. Upon review of the menu we started off with steamed clams and a spicy marinara and actually asked for fra Diavlo hence they gave it an additional hit of spice. It had a nice kick. It was very tasty. My wife was going back-and-forth between their signature lasagna and a little weak weenie with crab Bianco and in the end she went with the baked lasagna oh my goodness the size of that piece on the plate we took half home. She certainly enjoyed her. For me, I went with the veal Catherine, the medallions veal with shrimp, lump crab meat, and fresh tomato and a Bianco sauce the plating presentation I can't describe you'll just have to see my photograph. I've never seen it like this before and it was extremely tasty. Very tender I would certainly get that dish again. And since I am not a pasta eater, I ordered a side vegetable of broccoli Rob. And we ordered a bottle of the Italian Montepuliciano wine, what was the perfect compliment to our dinner? And this was my birthday. My wife was surprising me she had already pre-ordered their homemade tiramisu with ladyfingers, which would wind up taking with us cause we were kind of full and had later that night at one of our favorite coffee houses in Philly and boy that dessert was perfect and I'm glad we waited. Again, everybody was smiles, friendly, and helpful. The place of spotless and you really feel like you're in someone's home.

I scoped out the menu ahead of time and read all the reviews. When the day finally arrived I noticed how small the space was for an event.

I was so excited to try the sweet potato gnocchi that I had seen on socials, but it was no where to be found on the menu. When our server came to tell us the specials, she announced the sweet potato gnocchi and I was sold. We decided to start with the burrata, which paired well with the roasted garlic and bread. My sweet potato gnocchi was served in a decadent cream sauce. The gnocchi itself was very dense, almost a harder consistency. My sister in law got the regular ricotta gnocchi and it was pillowy and light, a completely different texture than mine. I still enjoyed mine, I just wish it could have been a little softer. We shared the cheesecake for dessert, and it was fine. Not memorable, but good. My sister in law got the creme brûlée and THAT was good. I regretted not getting that instead. Another person we were dining with got the pork chop and it was phenomenal. I wished I had gotten it, it was THAT good. For this experience, the ambience, location, and everything else considered I'd give it 3.5 stars.

We also got the Cacio e Pepe which was fantastic and Al Dente. Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 8.3/10 - This venue is pretty small. Don't sit outside or else you will smell the fishy streets of Philly.

    cute restaurant in center city with the iconic spicy chicken caesar!…read more all i can say is: spicy chicken caesar. it lives up to the hype, and it is delicious. i've eaten here several times now and none of the other food is particularly memorable, but the spicy chicken caesar is fantastic albeit a little expensive. i really need my boyfriend to learn how to make the spicy chicken caesar so i stop coming back, but it makes for a fantastic girl dinner. most of the times i've come here were either for restaurant week or the spicy chicken caesar. i really don't think it's worth coming for restaurant week, it's kind of a bummer that your whole table has to order the same thing and that you share a lot of the dishes. it ends up being not a whole lot of food, and i did the math and the cost comes out to be about the same. overall, it's a decent restaurant with good service. it's located right in center city with a million other restaurants so it's easily overlooked, but when i think of prunella i think of spicy chicken caesar.

    Maria and I came here with our good friends Mariangeli and Chef Dionicio, who were the ones who put…read moreus onto this spot. It was actually a birthday dinner too, Maria and Mariangeli were treating Chef Dionicio and me for our birthdays, so we were already looking forward to a good night, and Fiorella definitely delivered. We sat outside and honestly, that might be the way to do it. Really nice setup, relaxed South Philly atmosphere, good drinks on the table, good food coming out, and you're just hanging out with friends. Nothing felt rushed. We ordered a bunch of things to share and try. The arancini were great, and the pork belly & octopus skewer was probably one of the more interesting things we had. I wouldn't normally think of putting those two together, but it worked. Then the pasta came out. The ravioli with lamb, peperonata and caciocavallo was really good, and the rigatoni with Fiorella sausage ragu was one of those dishes where you keep going back for another bite even though you're already getting full. And don't sleep on the focaccia and olive oil either. Simple, but so good. We definitely weren't letting that go to waste. Drinks were great too. They have some interesting cocktails instead of just the same stuff you see everywhere, which I appreciated. The staff also deserves a shoutout. Everyone was friendly and attentive, but they gave us space to enjoy ourselves. That's a big thing for me. When you're having dinner with friends, you don't want to feel like you're being pushed through the meal so they can flip the table. By the end of the night, it wasn't even just about the food anymore. We were outside in South Philly, eating some really good Italian food, having drinks, laughing, celebrating two birthdays and just enjoying each other's company. Those are the dinners you remember. Big thank you to Maria and Mariangeli for treating Chef Dionicio and me, and to Chef Dionicio for putting us onto Fiorella in the first place.

    My favorite restaurant that I went to while visiting Philly. This place feels like being back in…read moreItaly. It is tiny inside with just a bar and a couple tables. That's it. I love this European feel. Up first, I had a $17 El Noe. I was hoping for a strong burnt mezcal taste, but nope. It seems like only Florida gets this drink right. The drink wasn't bad at all, but I was just looking for that burnt taste. I also had a $18 Dirty Pasta Water Martini, basically a dirty martini. It was fine, but it came in a micro grass which was kind of weird. Clearly this isn't a place you come for cocktails. Now, onto the star of the night, the food. Up first, the $16 Spring Salad. Loved it, hit the spot. Also, had the $17 Arancini. I really liked those little balls and especially the dipping sauce. I had the $26 Rigatoni. It was absolutely phenomenal. I could go eat it every day. My mom had the $24 Tonnarelli and it was also top tier excellent. The flavors, the atmosphere, the staff, everything here is top notch. The Internet did not let me down. I'm so glad I decided to book this restaurant. I had a wonderful night.
