![]() Here is a photo of a pizza I ordered from Romano’s during 2018. They are, however, better known for being the creator of the stromboli and seem to push those as their trademark, rather than their pizza. There is another pizzeria called Romano’s, in Essington, Pennsylvania, that also serves rectangular, sauce-on-top pizza. But so far I haven’t noticed any significant difference in the quality or taste of the pies I’ve had from various locations. As I mentioned, several branches of the Santucci family have opened pizzeria’s, with at least one of them going into franchise. While I like the pizza at Pica’s, I have to admit to preferring Santucci’s, which has a thicker and sturdier crust, as well as a sweeter sauce, which is generally not ladled on quite as thick as what I had last night.īelow are photos of a Santucci’s pie from a 2016 visit to one of their outlets, which goes by the name of Philomena Santucci’s Square Pizza, in Warminster, PA. But the sauce had an excellent, just slightly sweet flavor and worked well texturally with the layer of cheese beneath it and the thin crust, which was only slightly crispy around the edges. I resorted to using a fork and knife for the next one. A lot of it wound up on my fingers while eating my first slice. There seemed to be a bit more sauce on there than I recall from earlier visits.

The small pizza we ordered, with black olives on my wife’s half, turned out to be pretty big. My wife’s arugula salad with polenta My Clams Casino My wife’s salad, which was one of the nightly specials, included crouton-like sticks made of polenta. I was prepared to just eat pizza, but when my wife said she was starting with an arugula salad, I decided to get an appetizer as well and went with Clams Casino, an old favorite of mine. Upper Darby, Pennsylvania Founder, Frank Pica Sr. As we had plans yesterday to go out to a dessert shop in Broomall, which isn’t that far from Upper Darby, we decided to also hit Pica’s for dinner. My wife and I have been to Pica’s a few times, but not since before Covid came along. It’s grown into a large full-service restaurant with multiple dining-rooms and a takeout store over the years. ![]() Frank Pica Sr., whose photo is prominently displayed inside the restaurant’s entrance, opened his pizzeria in West Philadelphia in 1941 and moved it to its current location in 1956.
