Square Pizza, Northeast Philly Style
Northeast Philly regionialisms. We know all about the cult of panzarottis, Irish-themed sports bars (that don't serve Guinness!), wooder ice and complaining about the traffic on the Boulevard. Today it's our turn to scope out what Uwishunu says about square pizza at Santucci's:
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.
