Santucci's Original Square Pizza - Roxborough, Philadelphia, PA

The food was amazing and the staff was very accommodating as we hosted our son's 10th birthday. Our guests ordered food to take home after the party was over.

Santucci’s delivers every time! Their signature square pizza is perfectly crisp and delicious, with rich sauce and melty cheese in every bite. The wings are just as impressive — crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. What really sets them apart, though, is their customer service. The staff is always welcoming, attentive, and truly cares about the experience. Whether you’re dining in or picking up, Santucci’s makes you feel like family. A must-visit!

My wife and I have been coming here for years and have always loved the food! We recently used the dining area to host a family party, and it exceeded all expectations! We comfortably fit about 20 people, and the manager / waitresses were beyond accommodating. The restaurant is BYOB and the food was amazing as always. Highly recommend!

Santucci’s came highly recommended to my family and I and unfortunately, we were left disappointed. We placed a pretty large order that included pizza, steaks and fries and honestly, we could’ve ate in. Not only was the pizza extremely cold, it was tasteless and SALTY! Three boxes of pizza gone to waste! The steaks and fries were flavorful but also cold, thank goodness for our air fryer. Overall, my family and I were not happy campers and feel that Santucci’s really missed the mark.

Well, we saved the best for last! We're headed to the airport to go back home and my brother said we HAD to stop at Santucci's. You all did not disappoint! The best pizza, steaks and Stromboli! The food and service was amazing! Thank you so much, you are now a must have whenever comeback to see our family in PA ❤

Santuccis pizza is some of the best square pizza you can find in Philly! The works has the best toppings and don’t forget to give the antipasto board a try, it’s packed full of flavor!

I am from out of state and the pizza and Alexa were excellent. I will visit again.

This was the worst pizzas ever! Undercooked, sloppy presentation and inadequate amounts of cheese and toppings haphazardly thrown on top. Fries also undercooked and way too greasy. Such a disappointment!

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.

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!

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 !

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!!!!!

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

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!

First time here. My husband and I ordered a Cesar salad, tomato soup and cheese pizza. Everything was delicious! The staff is sweet, the service was great. I highly recommend you try it! It's a little different, they have the cheese under the sauce. It's very tasty.

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.

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)

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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).

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!

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.

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.

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

Ordering was efficient. Staff was friendly. Unfortunately the 'Original Square' can not be compared to Corropolese's. They are the Original Square tomato pie. This was my first and last time; not worth the try at $28.00. Hold out for Corropolese's.

I love this place. The decoration is so cute, especially the decoration of wine bottles on the wall, but it is a bit deceiving. This place is BYO, they don't serve any alcohol. The staff is friendly and the ambience is nice. I got the square pizza with sauce on top and absolutely loved it. Will definitely be heading over here again

I have no idea why this place did not get a 5 star rating immediately! The sauce is perfect, the crust is ridiculously good and I just want more, and more, and more!!!! Come on people!! Get On Board!! I am a faithful Alex's pizza fan in Rox and a Mac n Manco (that's right) fan at the shore. This pizza...off the charts. Try it. You be the judge.

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

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!

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

Santucci's is a Philadelphia Staple, so with that said, yes, I'm a fan. Their pizza has such a unique flavor that it stands out in a sea of pizza joints, big and small. The new Roxborough location is up on Ridge Avenue, just past Green Lane and seems to be doing well just after a few days of business. We ordered a large meatball to go this past weekend, their first Saturday open. The pizza was ready on time and looked just like any other Santucci's pizza. The sauce was the right combination of sweet and savory and the crust was soft, yet chewy in all the right ways. There are definitely cons to ordering from Santucci's -- it's expensive. And a large pizza just doesn't feel very large. Adding meatballs? $6! Yowza. And, TBH, they're not the greatest meatballs - the old Santucci's on Terrace had the BEST meatballs, and no other location can seem to get it right. Lastly, it just doesn't reheat like other pizza - the crust just can't handle it. But there are plenty of Pros, too - the sauce is great. Eating it hot is an experience in culinary joy. And out of towners love this unique twist on pizza. Would I order it every day? Probably not. Once a month? meh. But is there a time and a place for it? Yes. Is it crave-worthy? Yes.

My order was 30 late-Okay...I can deal with that! When my spaghetti carbonara is dry and I have to keep chewing on pancetta casing...that's a problem! So disappointed!

This review is for the meatball sandwich- very good. 4 hearty meatballs in a toasted sesame seed bun with marinara and perfectly gooey cheese. Ate this thing in my car and it alL stayed together. The fries were good too!

I am new to the area and was craving a chicken parm sandwich, when I came across Santucci's. Their prices for sandwiches are very good and even come with a side of fries. The sandwich itself was flavorful and delicious. I may have found my new go to restaurant!

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.

Santucci's is potentially the most basic pizzeria my tastebuds have encountered since 'nam. The ambiance left absolutely nothing to the imagination. My cat loved how I smelled like Italy when I came home. Overall, I feel strongly neutral~ :) :( $ 4 EDIT: just remembered, they make you use straws. Not cool. #savetheturtles #stephanie

I'd you travel around the world, you'll find all different kinds of pizza. From the toppings, to the sauces, cheeses, and crust, there's a ton of variety. Different people like different styles. Santucci's makes a unique, square style pizza with a lot of sauce, and thick crust. They do an excellent job at executing the type of pizza they want to create. So it's just up to your personal style preferences. If you like square style, then Santucci's is a great place you need to try.

I'm pretty surprised to see some negative reviews on this place. I tried it for the first time today after hearing great things, and the pizza did not disappoint. 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.

I ordered take out. The pizza was hard and hardly any cheese on the margherita pizza. Way too pricey for crap quality pizza that I got. They even told me the order was going to take 45min but the pizza was also cold. Very unhappy.

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.

I remember when this pizza was excellent. No Longer the case... soggy crust, raw veggies, dripping and separated watery sauce. I think they sold out. Meatball recipe changed as did the quality. Order Roma and save your money.

One of the horrible location with rude staff ,,, manager was beginning me not to write bad review and he will give me free Fries,,,, they don't have professional training at all ,,, to roll the eye's at costumer just because I ask how much longer for fries I will never return to that location due to bad service,, so bad and nasty , unprofessional staff members

This restaurant was perfect for an easy BYOB Italian meal. The penne vodka dish was delicious and large. The farmers salad had an excellent balsamic dressing on it.

Everything about the pizza we ordered -- a large, half-plain and half-mushroom and green pepper -- along with our experience ordering and picking it up, was completely fine and good and acceptable. I guess I was a little bummed because that's ultimately how I felt about the pizza as well; it was... fine. I think that after reading reviews here and looking at some FINE ASS looking pictures of a pepperoni pizza (maybe not getting pepperoni was a bad call?) I was really psyched to have my mind BLOWN by this pizza, and that just didn't happen. If someone had said "Hey we are getting square pizza and it's decent enough," maybe I wouldn't have eaten it thinking "What am I missing??" I'd give it another go with pepperoni ;)

Pizza is fantastic! Great addition to Ridge Ave. The only complaint that I had was with the Classic Caesar Salad that I got with my pizza for take-out. I do not think it was worth the $10 (just lettuce, some croutons and some grated parm). Pizza, wings, and service are great! We will keep ordering.

It's good. Kinda expensive though. Paying over $20 for a pizza is always rough. Also they need to cut their olives into little rings. They just cut them in big sloppy halves.

I am very disappointed. I spent $50 for a pizza and some lettuce and dressing. They couldn't even get my order right. The buffalo chicken pizza changed, barely edible. Globs of greasy Buffalo sauce and weird chunks of chicken. Cheese was very chewy in the worst of ways. The cheese plain pizza I ordered did not have cheese on it. I got ripped off and am never coming back here

I've been here one other time and I really enjoyed my white pizza and mild wings. I went there tonight and I'm not sure what happened to this place since then. I walked in and I was barely greeted by a young woman working the front. I noticed a sign that said cash only so I asked her and she said no cards but offered the ATM. Old school but okay I can adapt. So I ask to order a Medium pizza. She then informs me that there is no medium pizza anymore. Only small and large. I'm sorry but as a business, you need to update your menu. It was more trouble to order so I just left empty handed. I won't be returning. Too bad because the pizza was pretty good. I really hope they fix their customer service and update their menu.

Nice location on Ridge Avenue. Plenty of seating with the stereotypical pizza house vibe. The service was quick and friendly and we were definitely made to feel welcome. We decided to try both a pizza and a pasta dish. The ravioli and brown butter sauce was mediocre, and after trying the pizza I will just stick with the pizza from now on. We ordered the works pizza and it was delicious. The crust was amazing and the toppings of top quality. Being new to Philadelphia I wasn't sure what I was gonna get with this square pizza thing, but after trying it I realized I have been missing out. Definitely will be back.

Well, we got delivery of a veggie works personal pizza, a buffalo chicken personal pizza, and an order of garlic parmesan wings. The buffalo chicken pizza wasn't spicy but it was flavorful. The red sauce on the veggie pizza was bland, it didn't have a great tomato flavor, and it didn't seem like there was extra cheese at all. But the veggies were plentiful and fresh. The biggest disappointment was the wings. Tho large and meaty and nice and crispy, the garlic parmesan flavor was totally absent. There was some grated cheese sprinkled on them, and you'd think if you swirled the chicken in the oil on the bottom you might catch some garlicky flavor- but you'd be wrong. I'd been waiting to order from this Santucci's for awhile so this was a bit of a let down.

I have had both take out pizza and dined in at this restaurant and really recommend the food regardless of which option you prefer. The pizza is delicious even after ordering it and bringing it home. Doesn't get soggy in transit! To clarify, we ordered and picked it up ourselves (not delivery). I recently dined in on a week night on a double date. The restaurant is BYOB so make sure to bring some wine! The ambience was very cute and unique. Our server was so nice and attentive. The food came out quickly, and I ordered the pepperoni stromboli which I HIGHLY recommend. It was deliciously crispy on the outside and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. My boyfriend ordered one of the specials which he enjoyed. For dessert, we ordered the cannoli which was definitely large enough for 2 people to split. It was the perfect end to a great dinner! I will definitely be coming back here for a date night soon!

Ordered a plain cheese pizza and ate at the restaurant. The service was good, but the pizza is very mediocre. It tasted vinegary, and the crust was very bland. It's about as good as school cafeteria or Ikea pizza. There is basically zero atmosphere aesthetically. Perhaps their other dishes are more enjoyable, but if you are known for you pizza you should have GOOD pizza, and not market it based solely on it's shape.

I grew up in Frankford, and on Santucci's pizza. Something here seemed a little off. The sauce just didn't have that black peppery bite that I'm used to. Perhaps it was just an off night, or they are trying to get up to speed at this new location. OK. We dined in, and this location has a serious HVAC problem. It was too hot inside, and they couldn't turn the AC up anymore because the exposed duct work was sending condensation all over the tables and food. We'll order again, but probably won't dine in at this location.
