Tonelli's Pizza Pub Considering Return In Horsham

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA —They both closed around the same time last summer, two restaurants that made their mark in the township for quality food, a friendly atmosphere, and great service.

Both announcements came as a surprise too. But the owner of one business who closed might get back in the game —at the other's property.

Tonelli's Pizza Pub closed its doors on Easton Roadafter 30 years in late July. But while the business ended, its social media posts have picked up of late with a potential interesting venture.

Tonelli's Owner Chip Randa posted on Facebook over the weekend that he was taking his family to check out the former Farm and Fisherman property on Horsham Road on Monday.

Randa said he's considering "if I feel like doing this again."

He said that if he gets back in business, the location would only feature pizza for some time and not just any old pizza.

"Also if I do this again, it will be expensive pizza," he said. "No round-up will be in the flour, we will use imported Italian flour. I will use the Cheese Mafia and Grande whole Milk mozzarella. Imported San Marzano Tomatoes. Imported first cold press EVOO. Organic basil. Organic garlic. No pesticides, nothing processed, everything organic."

Residents were thrilled with Tonelli's potential return in responses to the Facebook posts.

Tonelli’s opened in Horsham in 1993. Its mission was to sell the best pizza, wings, cheesesteaks, and hoagies "in the universe," Randa told Patch during the eatery's 30th anniversary celebration.

Farm and Fisherman closed its doors on Horsham Road last July 1 after seven years in business.

"We appreciate the support from the Horsham community over the past seven years," the sign said. "Please continue to support local farmers."
