NOW OPEN: Santucci's in South Philly
The South Philly location of Santucci's (901 S. 10th St., 215-825-5304) officially opened for business this morning, as we noted last week. Though their OG square pies, available in personal, medium and large sizes, are the main attraction, third-generation owner Alicia Santucci (grandparents Joseph and Philomena founded the biz) is hoping to make the 10th-and-Christian space more of a sit-down attraction. That means there are starters, sides and salads (an antipasti board; flatbreads; wings), burgers and sandwiches (peep the porchetta, with sharp provolone apple slaw and caramelized shallot jam) and a few signature options (wild boar, beef and veal meatballs). They're also doing pretty much everything in-house, cutting their own potatoes and sweet potatoes for fries, making their own desserts and even curing their own pancetta. In more good news for Italian Market denizens — this Santucci's delivers, and it'll also offer Sunday brunch, beginning tomorrow. Opening hours — Mon.-Thu., 10 a.m.-10 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 10 a.m.-11 p.m.; Sun., 9 a.m.-9 p.m.

Juniata's loss is South Philly's gain. We miss you. God Bless youre Mom and Dad.I will remember them forever !!!— seamusryan- Actually Santucci's pizza are excellent, they are upside down with cheese on the bottom sauce on the top and square. The only problem is they cool off faster because of the way they are made.— MyFatherson
- disappointing pizza? to each his own...I have been raised on this pizza all my life...my veins crave this pizza...Juniata's loss is South Philly's gain...THE VERY BEST TO ALICIA AND BLAKE...YOU GUYS DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB...MANY YEARS OF SUCCESS TO THE BOTH OF YOU.— Diana Law
- I just wanted to add Santucci's Pizza has been creating pizzas for over 50 yrs....thats NO ACCIDENT. They are very customer friendly and their cleanliness will have you coming back time and time again. Located in the heart of south philly, you lnow what they say its location,location,location.— Joycene
- Santucci's is great. We are pictured waiting for our pizza in the photo above :) Sauce a bit too salty for our liking but the crust/cheese combo saved it.— fiche
- Ha no way fiche! Sorry not to say hello. I had to get a takeout pie myself. As you can tell from the comments, Santucci's-style pies are quite stratifying, but me personally, I'm a huge fan. I like mine with anchovies and/or pretty much any topping imaginable. — Drew Lazor
- I see wine chiller buckets... BYOB?— figureground
- Yes figureground, I believe they are. — Drew Lazor
- I couldn't place who you were at first-- we just got out of the pool at Ridgeway and had water in my ear and a nap on my mind. Glad you enjoyed— fiche
- "water in my ear and a nap on my mind" sounds like a Cat Power lyric — Drew Lazor
- I thought the pizza was so-so. I think Slice is much much better.— jgiordano
