Square Pizza Celebrated For 10 Years In Warminster

WARMINSTER TOWNSHIP, PA — Sometimes it's hip to be square.

Philomena Santucci's Square Pizza on Street Road recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary with State Rep. Brian Munroe dropping by to pay tribute.

The family-owned pizzeria restaurant has been serving its signature square pizza since 1959.

Munroe presented the owners with a citation and a PA state flag from the capital in Harrisburg.

"We're incredibly grateful for the citation and the PA state flag," the restaurant posted on Facebook. "Thank you to everyone in the community who came out for our anniversary and for 10 amazing years."

Joseph and Philomena Santucci opened the first Santucci’s Pizza in their home on “O” Street in the Juniata Park section of Northeast Philadelphia in 1959, according to the restaurant's website.

From 1959 to 1993, its signature square pizza, with sauce placed on top of fresh mozzarella cheese, became a beloved Philadelphia staple as an unconventional alternative to traditional pizza.

Other locations then opened.

In 1993, the family's daughter Teresa Santucci, along with her husband Gene, opened their first location on Cottman Avenue in the Mayfair section of Northeast Philadelphia.

In 1996, they opened a second location on Tyson Avenue in Northeast Philadelphia.

Then, in 2015, Teresa and Gene’s son, Nicky, joined the family business and relocated the Tyson Avenue store to Warminster.

In 2019, Teresa Santucci added “Philomena” to her business name to honor her mother for Santucci’s 60th anniversary.
