Went here last night with a small party to celebrate my wife's birthday. Not a large dining area but seating was readily available. Ordered a salami plate appetizer with garlic bread that was surprisingly filling for the 5 of us. The salami was thinly sliced and the bread, which had to be pulled apart as it was a single small bun, was hot & garlicky. Ordered 3 large pies that were all excellent. Each hot with different spicing. Only criticism was the service was slow - undoubtedly from the large takeout service they do. Plan to go back soon. Returned for a second time last weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday here for the second straight year. She loves the place and for good reason. The service was faster than last year while the food remained every bit as good. We had two appetizers: mozzarella sticks and a salad. Both were great. We had 2 large pizzas and 1 small for 5 people; although we ended up taking a lot home with us. The pizzas couldn't have been better. While they might not appeal to those who like really thin crust pies, the crust was not super thick. Both were hot and cheesy. Will continue to count this place as one of the best pizza restaurants in town. read more

Square Pie - This place seems to get better every time I visit. - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Fire. I don't usually freak out about food, but this is legit the best thick style pizza I've ever had. The sauce is what carries it. Very little cheese, cuz this pie doesn't need it. Get the red pie, trust me. read more

Came to SP again and just needed to rave about it a little more (and post a new pizza pic). Still amazing. Also still amazing cold the next morning, in case you were wondering :-) read more

Square Pie - Melanzane! - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Square Pie is so good, it has the best pizza crust! It's a little BYO place in Queen Village, right on Passyunk, and probably seats about 25 or so. We've had to wait for a table before on a busy Saturday night, but recently on a Thursday we sat right down. Their menu is a pretty small pizza selection, with a mozzarella and pepperoni plus about 5 specialty pizzas but each sounds so delicious. And everything comes out square! With your choice of 8x8 or 12x12, both good for sharing with another. We had the smoked mozzarella sticks for an app and the four cheese pizza with mozzarella, parmesan, provolone, ricotta and spinach (the special that night!) for dinner. We split the 12x12 which comes sliced into 6 pieces. It was so delicious and we were so full! The dough is just super deep and really the best part. I can't wait to go back again! read more

Square Pie - The Four Cheese with Parm, Mozzarella, Provolone and Ricotta - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Reviews are kind of misleading tbh, traveled an hour and was super excited to come here but it was pretty mid in my opinion. The service was good. Pizza was overpriced for the amount given and the quality but it didn't taste terrible. Wasn't awful but don't see myself ever coming again read more

My family and I were staying at a local Air BNb and stumbled upon this place! Wow! I'm so Glad we did! We ordered the large Porchetta pizza...seriously this was one of the best pizzas I've ever had! Because the crust was so thick all of us could only eat one slice at the restaurant! Do yourself a favor and stop by this gem! read more

Really nice spot. We ordered a couple of pizzas for take out and it was great. Only thing is that i found the pizza on the heavier side but it was so good that it didnt matter. read more

Odd hours. Delicious pizza. In the past, I've tried the pepperoni, spinach, and eggplant pizzas. All were delicious. The slices are thick. So don't let the serving slices fool you. You are probably consuming 2-3 slices with one square pie slice. read more

This place gives me mixed emotions, but definitely a bad feeling in my stomach. So they're open with such a small, limited window of time that it's difficult to get there in time and have dinner (5-9pm, every day). They never take reservations either, which exasperantes the issue further. Their seating area seats less than 20, so anytime you go is a gamble as to whether or not you'd get a seat. Today we showed up at 8:46pm and they said they stopped seating at 8:45pm. It's such a shame because their pizza is great- but the business runs like a mad house. They turned us away without a second thought. We told out of state family about this place and hyped it up so much! My cousin was waiting to commit to her college for sports and was waiting for a call. We decided to go to Square Pie to celebrate but they were so quick to turn us away because we were one minute past their "not seating " time, which is not advertised anywhere on their website or social media. If you're going to completely stop seating 15/20 minutes before and you close before 10pm, you may want to advertise it. I have eaten in and have done take-out but 2/3 of the times I've tried to eat here they're either closed (since they're only open 4 hours a day for dinner), swamped and you can't get seating, or just downright unpleasant. They do offer takeout but they didn't give that to us as an option tonight :( I do have to say the pizza is good, but I don't think it's worth the hassle anymore. We're going to Santucci's. read more

I came to this small casual byo pozza joint on a Friday night, and absolutely loved it. The space is small with less than 20 tables. It is essentially just a big room with a partially exposed kitchen and counter in the rear. When we arrived, there was only one table for two and it was near the door. Although it was cold out, we were hungry and took it. I wasn't cold during the meal. The server gave us menus and quickly opened our wine bottle. My fiancé and I ordered aracini appetizers. We also split a large pie (with sausage, peppers and onions), and cavatappi with meatballs. We knew it would be too much food for the two of us but wanted left overs for the next day. Everything was exceptionally delicious. I was really taken aback by how flavorful the sauce, dough and everything else were. The aracini came out first. They were some of the best rice balls I've had in Philly. There was three to an order and came with a delicious marinara sauce. The pizza is so unique that it should be in its own category. It's thick cut but not deep dish or Sicilian, though much closer to a Sicilian. The dough is a bit thinner and denser than a typical Sicilian pizza in the US. The cheese is applied before the last layer of sauce. It initially appeared that there wasn't any cheese, but there was. There was definitely more sauce than cheese and the sauce to cheese ratio was different than most pizza I've had. The sauce was so delicious that I didn't even want more cheese. The dough had such a nice crunch and bite. It also reheated really well the following day. I cant express how much I love this pizza. The pasta and meatballs were also very good, though the pizza was definitely the star. I cant wait to come back here! I highly recommend this spot. read more

After all the fabulous reviews I was really looking forward to tasting this pizza. While I found the place pleasant enough and the staff lovely, I thought the white pizza really did not have enough cheese and mostly tasted like salt and herbs. The red pizza was better, but not enough cheese on that either. The best part of the pizza is actually the dough. The toppings can still use some work. read more

How this place doesn't have more reviews is beyond me. I am telling you right now that if you're reading this review, you NEED to get some of this pizza. Yes, they have weird hours (5-10 every day) but I am telling you that if you have the opportunity to eat here you must. The pizza is unlike any pizza I have ever had before, and I'm a pizza snob. I despise wood-fired pizza with it's thin floppy gross crust and burnt parts and this pizza is nothing like that. From the buttery crispy yet fluffy crust to the deliciously sweet pizza sauce, savory cheese, and crispy pepperonis I have dreams about this pizza. I don't live far from Square Pie which is both a good and a bad thing but this pizza is worth the calories. Some nights you just want a typical pizza place pie and others you want to indulge. This is an indulgent pie and one that will live in your mind for years to come. Just go. read more

COVID sucks but this restaurant does not suck. Its my favorite restaurant for gourmet pizza. My fav pie is the home made sausage, red peppers,sweet onions, and duck fat. The crust, oh the crust is my favorite part of the pizza. When I take the pie, I drizzle some Mexican hot salsa to give it kick. The crust is a thick crust, not to be confused with Chicago deep dish pizza. TIP: don't order near the last hour of operations because the restaurant may run out of pizza dough. Try to support local businesses in this pandemic. read more

Okay this is hands down the best pizza I've ever had and the best pizza in Philly. I've tried pizza from East to West coast and this literally ranks number 1 for me. I had the small Eggplant Pizza that lasted for 2 meals. I don't know how to describe this pizza besides being absolutely perfect. If you're looking for the perfect pizza crunch, this is your pizza. read more

Square Pie - Eggplant pizza (top left) - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

One of my favorite pizza places of all time. A must-have if you're craving pizza and in Philadelphia. It's a Detroit style square pizza with plenty of crispy edge pieces for everyone. The service is prompt, kind, and food always consistent. Sad they stopped indoor dining, but totally understand. The space is small and there's a pandemic. Their takeout service is awesome, though. Make sure to get there early if it's a Friday or Saturday because they sell out quickly! Stop in, you won't be disappointed. read more

My favorite pizza in Philly! This is detroit style pizza with crispy crusts and puffy dough. I can't recommend this pizza enough and every time I have friends visit town I get Square Pie. They used to have indoor byob seating but have gotten rid of it since Covid and are now takeout-only. Make sure to order on the early side because they tend to sell out! read more

As a service industry professional this experience was not only abysmal, it was shocking and the worst my mother or I have ever experienced. Never have I ever seen such aloof disengaged service. The tall blonde female server kept guests waiting at the door and outside in the cold for upwards of an hour as she leisurely polished silverware. She ignored dirty tables which if cleaned could have provided seats for the patient patrons. The female server was rude, and the male server accompanying her was unduly frazzled. This tiny BYOB has 11 tables and is open from 5-9, how are they this bad?! They left tables without menus, water, or any sliver of acknowledgment for 15+ minutes after being sat. We ate the majority of our caesar salad with our hands and no plates because plates or silverware were hard to come by. Meanwhile, pizza chefs and cooks left out the front door to take cigarette breaks with glasses of beer at hand and other guests had to flag them down for water, checks, just basic general service, and to inquire if and when the rest of their food would be served. Honestly, this level of service was laughable. I personally wasn't aware this level of incompetence was possible. It is obvious that the bustling take-out business is how this establishment stays afloat. I can only imagine the increase in profits Square Pie would see if their servers would clear tables and do their job instead of turning customers away and blankly staring at sat tables. I feel validated leaving a harsh review not only because I just lived this experience, but also because I have worked in restaurants for 12 years and 11 tables, 2 servers, slinging pizza, salads, and pasta is not rocket science. I could only imagine how these servers would fare in a restaurant/bar that had a service which lasted longer than 4 hours, based on this I would guess not very well. The pizza is delicious but not worth the 2 1/2 hour ordeal of dealing with Square Pie's front-of-house compete and total ineptitude. read more

Square Pie - Call the Guinness Book of World Records, this un-bussed table is due some type of acknowledgment... 1 hour and 15 minutes+ left dirty. - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Excellent, fresh pizza in a small, relaxing environment. Limited hours, mainly late afternoon to evening. Fair pricing as well. I'm about a mile walk but I will definitely be there again! read more

More like a 4.5, this is a very good spot. I'm not particularly a thick pie kind of person but they do them well with a wonderful crisp. We got the Sausage and the Porchetta. The sausage was delicious and so was the porchetta, but the porchetta was super heavy and I couldn't eat more than one slice. You can tell the ingredients are fresh, overall great spot. Will be back read more

Square Pie - Porchetta Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My friends and I came here on a Friday night for a triple date. Unfortunately they won't seat you until the entire party is there.. and I was late so we missed out on an open table. :/ They had us wait about 30 minutes.. we ended up going back to my friends house to wait since it was raining.. but you can definitely wait inside the little doorway if you're in a small group. Love that it's BYOB. The price of our entire meal of 3 pies was so reasonable. The cheese pie was my favorite by far. We also got a pepperoni and a white with panchetta and potatoes.. very good but very rich. My boyfriend was obsessed with the hot sauce here.. they make it in house. He's convinced they could bottle it and be millionaires. Only con was there is 1 woman as the waitress and food runner for everyone.. so we had to wait a little bit for our wine to be opened and to get some waters. I will 100% be back.. it was so good. read more

OK. We legit just picked up two pies for dinner - on recommendation from a friend - and the pizza was fantastic! We've been on the search for a new pizza spot for a while now, and Square Pie may be it. We had a large mushroom pizza and a large sausage pizza. (Definitely too much for two people. This will surely result in leftovers for days.) The pies had a crispy crunch on the bottom, and thick soft pillowy middles, and best of all, heavy on the tomato sauce. I loved it. I can't wait to reheat them for tomorrow :D. Next time we'll try to eat in for the full experience. read more

Ridiculously good pizza that is like no other in the city. As much as I hated to see Cochon go, I'll take this great spot in the neighborhood. The pizza that is essentially a roast pork sandwich on crust is unreal. The name is escaping me. read more

There is a lot of great pizza in Philly these days and times; lots with hype, lines, sell outs, etc. and, as a pizza connoisseur, I think it is all well deserved. Square Pie, however, doesn't have any of that and it is SO good. Like I go there on my birthday and anniversary good. But there is no hype, no lines, no wait. It isn't a scene. It is just delicious square, thick crust, pizza with excellent service in a great location and family friendly environment. The salad is basically a requirement, too, and I'm not one to recommend a salad when I'm focusing on pizza. Square Pie doesn't get the hype it deserves, and I'm OK with that but you should go and see for yourself. (BYOB, lots of vegetarian options). read more

I recently purchased a large pizza here and loved it. High quality ingredients. Clear pricing. Health safety measures.

Just out this world but take. Back how small & price by time u add it all up with delivery apps! So good but my budget i can't buy often plus how do u feed more than 2 people with a tiny pizza but it was as good as i heard (porchetta) & very pleased as been wanting order here for good while read more

I've eaten every flavor pizza here and I can honestly say that they are up there with the absolute best...that toothy, perfect texture crust and their fabulous toppings are beyond... even the plain old cheese pizza is amazing. I would have given them 5 stars, but for a place with such incredible pizza crust, their Caesar salad croutons continue to have the taste and texture of supermarket, box croutons... we can't figure out why their crouton quality is so awful...oh well... read more

This is my new spot. My husband and I always wanted to try their square pie. Let me say it is so delicious! read more

HOLY SHIIIIIIII. Best pizza I've ever had in philly and probably the best pizza I've ever had EVER. It's a really small byo maybe 8-10 tables total? And it was poppin on a Saturday night. My group of 5 luckily didn't have to wait too long when we got there around 7:30, just 20 minutes. And they were kind enough to give us glasses so we could start drinking while we waited. They don't take reservations or names, you have to come in person. But it was totally worth it. We ordered 3 large pizzas which were 6 HUGE slices. If you like pizza thicc, you'll love this place! read more

Delish - pies are BIG. Lady working even walked the pie out to my car for take out - so sweet!

I selfishly don't want to shine the light too bright onto Square Pie, as it is probably the best pizza in Philly. We can debate style of pizza all day long, that's not what I'm trying to get into here, I'm simply saying that it is the most memorable pizza I think I've ever had. Square Pie is a nice little BYO in Queen Village that made me nostalgic for the days of my parents taking us out for pizza as kids. The service is quick and with a great attitude. It has a small and easy to navigate menu, with some specialty pizzas or a make-your-own approach. I would be remiss not to mention their pasta, sauce, or meatballs. Their sauce is awesome, and we fight over the last meatball. All in all, I think it's obvious that I love this place. I could eat here every day and am strongly considering it. read more

My favorite pizza place in philly! Discovered this place during the pandemic and they take it seriously, staff wearing masks, no dining in, take out only, staff wipes down credit card machine in between uses as well Plus they are super nice and don't have a crazy preorder, jump through a bunch of hoops ordering system. Now for the pizza, its heavenly, fluffy goodness. Each pizza is loaded up with a generous amount of toppings and is perfectly seasoned! My favorite pizza is the pancetta, but they're all delicious and perfect. The price is great for the quality you get! Square pie please come out with an artichoke or spicy pizza pleaaase read more

I did not eat here. However, my partner got pizza to go from here. He absolutely loved it. I could even smell how fresh it was. He shares that all the ingredients tasted and smelled very fresh. He got mozzarella pie where the sauce was on top which he loves. He says that the employees seemed very nice (two male employees). He will definitely be returning. read more

Easily top 5 all-time for me, and best crust I've ever had the pleasure of crunching into.

Profanity. It's really the only set of words I can think of to describe how *blanking* good this pizza is. To attempt to convey the emotions you have upon eating here requires herculean effort. And as I look to the pizza gods to show me the light, I ask one simple question: "Where's da' cheese?" Yes, an odd question to ponder, but it's one that's consumed me for the past three days following a recent meal at Square Pie. The question revolves around the pepperoni pizza. It's the most awe-inspiring deep dish pie you've ever had, the crispy, crackly crust loaded high with a bright tomato sauce and beautiful circles of salami. But somewhere beneath that surface, I swear there's cheese. You see it stretch as your teeth pull a delicious bite, you taste it lurking in the background. You KNOW it is there...but where? Invisible cheese. Yes, please. Where's da' cheese. Indeed. The arancini. Another feat of mankind. Beautiful, crispy rice balls with cheese and pancetta, the same tomato sauce brightening the palette and causing you to melt with each bite. The porchetta pizza. Unctuous is a word that comes to mind. Deeply soulful pieces of pork wrapped up with broccoli rabe. The pancetta pizza, covered with (yes), big, bold squares of pancetta expertly fried to add some real bite and salt to what is otherwise a creamy journey into pizza art. What's that lurking beneath the surface? That's potatoes my friend, adding a richness and texture that otherwise wouldn't be possible. I bow to you, Square Pie. I bow to you, again and again. For you have mastered the art of the deep dish pie. Where's da cheese. Indeed. read more

Ordered two pies. the potato and red with pepperoni. Both very very good. Potato very unique and tasty.

The pizza is exceptional (highly recommend the pancetta and potato as well as the sausage pizzas). Somehow it is not overwhelmingly rich despite how heavy the pizzas are. The only reason for 4 out 5 stars is that we have yet to find a non-pizza item on their menu that was as good. The salad is too heavily covered in dressing and not that healthy a counterbalance to the pizza. read more

This place is one of my fav pizza places! Be warned though, it is very thick filling pizza. But it is delicious!! No reservations, byob and take out. It is small and gets very crowded. They have some salads and apps but the standout is the pizza. My personal favorite is the red sauce pizza with sausage. However, the porchetta (white pizza) is very popular. I would recommend any of them. Just be prepared to wait! read more

The sausage pizza with duck fat onions is simply incredible. I have never had anything like it. The sausage is homemade so obviously its delicious but the duck fat onions on this pizza is what makes this pizza BONKERS! I order it with extra cheese and cry every time. I think its the best pizza in the city. read more

745: we leave our name to the begrudging front of house who kept asking are you sure- its a long wait. Yes I'm sure. It's going to be really long though. Okay please take our name. 8ish: comes outside to tell everyone, even people waiting for 30mins+ they are out of ingredients please go elsewhere. RIDICULOUS. good pizza but not that good. read more

My go to in the neighborhood. Amazing crust and quality ingredients made with love. Salads and apps are great too.
