Santucci Brothers Pizza is one of the finest eateries in Philadelphia. Their square style tomato pie is unrivaled. You can get this pizza at a few locations but the original shop is at 4019 O St—how often do you get up to O street?

I work for R5 productions (concert promoter) and when our “Near” NE Philly friends are coming down for a show, we often request that they bring us the coveted pyramid. Three descending sized boxes of this amazing tomato pie. Often you can see us chowing down at the door reluctantly taking money and stamping hands as we put back slice after slice. This is the classic Philly style cheese on the bottom pizza or tomato pie, not to be confused with the cheese-less tomato pie. Santucci’s pies have a thicker gooier crust than Tony’s Place’s circular tomato pie, if you are familiar, or have read my previous blog. I like both very much; it’s more of an apples and oranges type of thing. Santucci Brothers also makes fancy versions of their square pies with various toppings and even white varieties, but I’m firmly in the classic tomato pie camp myself.
