Square Pie

My little baby and I had been working our asses off, so wanted a day to just watch movies and demolish a pizza. The soul just needs a full pig out day every now and then.We had our heart set on Angelo's Pizzeria, but after waiting in a line stretching the block we were told "we aren't making any more pizzas." A crushing blow to the heart, mind, and soul.I was pouting like an 8 year old on the walk back, when my baby said "We could try Square Pie, it's new and supposed to be really good!" I was still crushed from the Angelo's defeat and responded with a "yeah, whatever."She ordered a Large Red pie with Pepperoni on top, and when I opened the box I was in disbelief. It looked SO good. Like an angel spreading its wings.It's a thick square pizza doused in red sauce, mozzarella, topped with perfectly crisped pepperonis and has an elite crunch on the crust. It tasted even better than it looked.We sat there watching White Chicks, ripping through this pizza slice by slice, brick by brick. It was sensational and everything I could have asked for on a pig out day.Sometimes, God closes the Angelos door and opens the Square Pie window. You gotta keep the faith.IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

Amongst three, we shared the Caesar Salad and two small pizzas - one red sauce and one white sauce pie. The Caesar Salad was a bit salty in my opinion but the garlic and pepper helped offset the creaminess/heaviness one might feel. The dough was out of this world - having tastes of an everything bagel seasoning with the texture of a ciabatta, so you'll end up finishing every bite (no crusts left behind)! I'd love to come again and try their other specialty pies.

Sometimes 5 stars just isn't enough! So is the case for the experience I had this weekend at Square Pie. A quiet Sunday lunch with a bottle of cabernet, two "small" pizzas, and a perfect house salad. I'll get into the food, of course, but more important to me is the fact that I came here and felt immediately initiated into the Square Pie family: literally. Owner/chef Giuliano was tucked away in the kitchen while his dad served my boyfriend and I with the kind of immediate care and welcoming nature you can only find in an Italian joint run by native South Philadelphians. We had made plans to come here as an extra special post-half marathon meal and got so much more than we bargained for at every level.As for the food, the pepperoni pizza is the best pizza I've had in Philadelphia and it's not close. Pardon my french, but I am Philly pizza's number one shit talker. I love Pizzata and I love Paulie Gee's and a few of the other spots that specialize in specific styles, but I overwhelmingly find Philly's pizza scene to be...unfortunate. Cue the Shrek credits because I am now a believer. The cup and char pepperoni holds honey and oily perfection in every bite, with a crust that melts in your mouth. Sauce matches sweetness to acidity and isn't heavy handed. Or maybe it's that everything is a little heavy handed and that's what makes it magical? Who cares. I tried to savor every bite but I am already daydreaming about the next time I can drink wine and eat this pizza.The romaine salad was a recommendation and shouldn't be skipped! Roasted tomatoes bring it all together but the red wine vinaigrette and jelly yolk boiled egg make it pack extra punch. The pizza on special was amazing as well - covered in brussels and fontina and caramelized onions. They post their special pies on Instagram and I think they change weeklyish. Delivery is available on Slice and Uber Eats, something I know I'll be taking advantage of in the near future.That being said, it's hard to replicate the fun of dining in. Square Pie has updated their hours so if it's been a minute, grab a bottle of wine and settle in. Pizza cheers!

It's hard to really describe the style of this pizza - it's not Detroit not traditional square or Philly but really good. The energy is all Philly in all the best ways and it's authentic to itself. Highly recommend!

We've walked past this place so many times and finally went! When we took our first bite of pizza, we knew we had been missing out. Square Pie is the kind of pizza shop that any neighborhood would be happy to have - it's homey and cozy, the staff is friendly, and the pizza is really well made. (It's also a BYOB - which is getting increasingly harder to find in Philly.) The dough is flavorful, with beautiful bubbles of aeration that somehow still have structure under the generous toppings. We tried the soppressetta red and pancetta white pizzas ($17 for 8 inch squares) and they were the perfect size for the two of us to split and feel comfortably full. The pancetta one was creamy, rich, and decadent, and the sopprassetta was zingy and a little spicy - we'd definitely order both again.There were some big groups (including a group of octogenarians who came in with literal gallon jugs of wine) and based on the good times being had, I'd say that if you can score a table, this is a great place to split some pies and salads with friends and family!

Back again for another stellar experience. This is some of the best pizza in Philly. Period. Came here on a Saturday night and got seated right away (3 people around 6pm). Our waitress was so friendly and bubbly that we just felt right at home. As an update to my last review, they added many more tables (probably for the dinnertime rush). There is plenty of seating here -- good for parties of 4 or less, but you may be able to squeeze in 6. In this update, I ate a Red Pie with Pepperoni and Olives and Arancini. Red Pie with Pepperoni and Olives - This one was the personal pie size, which leaves the average person pretty satisfied, but I wished these were just slightly bigger. Finished mine and reached for slices from others. Crust is perfectly crisp while maintaining good fluffiness internally. Plenty of pepperoni and olives on here. The olives were nice and tangy. Really can't go wrong with any of their red pies. Sauce is bold and delicious. Arancini - Like fried risotto balls, these are wonderfully light appetizers. Rich in flavor, very savory, crisp exterior -- paired nicely with marinara sauce. Tbh I wasn't very excited about these when we ordered them, but I was pleasantly surprised by nearly every aspect. Definitely would order again. Value: 4/5Quality: 4/5Quantity: 5/5Service: 5/5Atmosphere: 5/5

I didn't think I would like it but I loved it. It was $20-ish and when o saw the small box I was about to be sad because I was hungry but This is some fluffy pizza and filling. so if you like this square pie style- you'll love this! I think they call it Brooklyn style? Is it Sicilian? Is it deep dish or something like that or cast iron? I have no idea but it was some puff pizza and flavorful. I dunno but the dough is good. Just got the basic cheese flavor because I have an anti-pork partner and I didn't see any beef choices. I'm not a chicken fan person. But I saw a mushroom special on the board and I totally would have gotten that one. I love mushrooms. I only got to eat 3 slices out of the 9 before my partner vacuumed it up the next day leftovers too. Ha. All good.

Philadelphia's best pizza spot hands down no contest .( btw - Pizzeria beddia was my number one back when it was a one man 40 pie a night shop ) . I actually found out about this place because I read somewhere that joe beddia himself said this was one of his personal favorite pizza spots in Philly . Over the course of several visits and deliveries I have tried every white pie as well a few custom white pies . Honestly they are all great ! Why is this place my top spot ? Four words : small batch slow fermentation.Like how pizzeria beddia used to be the dough here is slowly fermented over the course of an extended period time which gives the crust a more complex flavor ...think Belgian beer yeast vibes .I'd recommend getting a small if your going for the porchetta or pancetta if there are 1-2 people in your party as the slices are super heavy and filling . 1 slice is really all you need . So four slices ( a small pie ) for two people is plenty .

We have been on a pizza tour to find the best pizza in Philly and Square Pizza is definitely top 3! The crust is crispy and the sauce they use on their pizza is delicious!

Pizza is absolutely incredible. Seriously might've been the best pizza I've ever had. Service is great. Do not hesitate to order here.
