This was one of the tastiest square pies I've had! I think this might've been called the Brooklyn? Can't remember... especially once it was in my mouth. It's probably one of the best 20 dollar purchases I've ever had! However, it was one of the worst dining experiences we've had... and what keeps us from going back... after being seated we had to wait almost an hour for pizza. The girl employee tried to encourage us to order appetizers or drinks (likely cause she knew there would be a wait...) but walking in all we saw was one party of 8 and just us. We remained patient as we saw they also took phone orders and only saw one guy making pizzas and another young man carrying flour... but two parties that arrived later complained about the wait and said they were going to leave and got served pizzas before us... it also sucked because we saw people order pizzas to go 20 mins after we ordered our pizza get frustrated with their standing waits get their pizza before us. It was especially frustrating cause when they opened their box to check their pizza it was literally the pizza we ordered. Payment process was also not organized Maybe it was an atypical day... Pizza was great, but hope they improve their service!
This pizza is so bad I stopped and ate a salad instead. It's easily the 3-5 worst pizza of my life...I am truly shocked and taken aback by how bad it is versus the ratings.
omg omg omfggggggg this place must be known . if i had to wait an hour and a half for this pizza which i didnt twas 20 min , i still would rave about how good my MVP pizza was . holy cabooses this place got it right !!!! try it . i know im going back for more . til next time !!! Its byob fyi
I love square pie! Their sauce is unreal and is in perfect proportion with the cheese. And I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's a favorite of my 90 year old grandmother and queen. She has a hard time chewing but their Sicilian is nice and fluffy. (Close seconds for her are Angelo's Sicilian and la Rosa...Emmy squared can be hit or miss on how well done it is.)
My, My, My the pizza was sooo good!! I got every bit of my 20.00 worth at square pie! So I was in the area for work and was looking for something quick to pick up for lunch and I saw square pie. I ordered online and went in the store about 15 minutes later and it was ready when I arrived. I ordered the white pizza and decided to add pepperoni for some razzle dazzle! The first bite was yum at first bite! The dough was light crispy and soft at the same time...yea I don't know how they did it either....and the cheese was flavorful and garlicky, it didn't need nothing added to this pizza it was perfect just the way it was, oh and the pepperoni cups was chef's kiss! What more can I say this pizza was delightful by far one of the best pizza I had. Customer service was also great. I definetly look forward to returning!
Great neighborhood gem! The staff was very helpful and accommodating of my friend and I requesting to get the speciality pizzas without various meats. We got the MVP and white sausage (both without meat) and they were awesome! The MVP is some of the best pizza I've had, the vodka sauce and flavors are amazing. The atmosphere is very cozy. It is also a byob.
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.

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.
Came here after drinking coffee in the area and we were starving for lunch. The place is quite cold, despite the double doors. Service is super friendly and prompt. I can imagine it would be really cute at night with the intimate seating and lighting. During the day it's just okay, haha. We ordered a small red pie and a small white. It took a little longer than expected to come out, despite how empty it was, but it was worth the wait. The crust is super crispy and had a great flavor. We liked the red over the white spinach pie, the white was a tad bland for us.
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!
Ordered on Uber eats. They partner with a third party to actually deliver. Arrived quickly. Very thick pizza with soft crust and was honestly some of best pizza I have had.
I'm a person that loves pizza! I've tried pizza from a lot of places. This is the BEST pizza I've EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! Thank you. I will be back.

This is my favorite pizza place East of Italy. Pro tip/the most important thing: calling in an order for take out, call back if it just rings. They are always busy, from the minute doors open, but they will answer the phone eventually!! If you're dining in, be prepared to wait. It is small inside, just 10 tables I think. But the wait is WORTH it! Also, it's byob, which is nice. Inside: small, cozy, intimate. You can see the kitchen from all tables. Lovely lighting, cute on-brand deco. Food: start with a salad. They're all simple but perfectly executed. We had the romaine, it's got red wine vinaigrette and artichokes. If you're with a crowd, do the arancini - 6 pieces of cheesey, prosciutto goodness. Pizza: honestly, always get the special. They're dreamed up by chef gene. Most recently I had the sausage, w duck fat onions and roast peppers. The sausage is made on-site and is the obvious star, second star is the amazing, thick fluffy Brooklyn style crust. The small is more than enough for 2 meals for 2 people, so I suggest you get two smalls and eat pizza all weekend. I'm really eager to try their pancetta pie, a white pie w/ leeks, potatoes, and cream. read more
We were around the neighborhood and were looking for kid friendly places. They have some coloring books and crayons available for the kids. I love thick dough pizza and this hit the mark. We ordered the sausage and a plain cheese pizza. I really loved the sausage on the sausage pizza. Big chunks. Other toppings include roasted peppers and onions. You can see the bubbling of the yeast rise up. The center was probably a little on the raw side given the toppings and thickness so I lowered my rating a bit. One note of caution. These pizzas are extremely greasy as they need a lot of oil to cook the bottom. Great pie though! read more

Square Pie is still bomb as ever. We arrived at 4pm on the dot to place a takeout order to bring to my brother's house for his birthday. We started a tradition of birthday pizza parties and, let me just tell you, it's proven to be a great decision. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and spinach pizza, and a Caesar salad. But after chatting it over with the chef and hostess, I added a second salad which was smart. One would not have been enough for four people but two was just right. Their caesar is great! The pizzas were perfection. I don't know how they make those giant, thick slices somehow feel light but the crust is flaky, flavorful and just amazing. The toppings are just right without going overboard. I had a slice of each pie which was the perfect amount. Can't wait for the next visit or takeout order! read more

Everyone said to go to Angelo's for pizza. We went. We left because they didn't have seating. A local suggested Square Pie. It was a short walk from Angelo's. We highly recommend Square Pie! We enjoyed everything about it. Great crust! As Lou told us, the crust is so good that everyone eats the whole crust unlike other pizzas. The pepperoni was thick with a little spice. The cozy atmosphere is what we expected of a local pizza place. The business story is heartwarming. We will definitely go back to Square Pie when in Philly. read more

This was the first time in a long time that I eaten from here. I have to say, it's one of my favorite pizza places in Philly at the moment. Very fresh ingredients, and delicious. The dough is similar to a focaccia, and the sauce, cheese, and the mushrooms, added a very nice flavor profile. If you are into Sicilian style pizza, this is the place to go. read more

Quaint little pizza shop in Queen Village that makes square, deep dish pizza. Their pizza is good, but it's very rich and greasy, which is a little too much for my liking. If you're a fan of deep dish pizza though, they're one of the only places in the area where you can find deep dish. Only way to order is by calling ahead. Be sure to check out the hours listed on their website, because they can be open odd hours. Masks are required at all times and they do not have outdoor seating available. When indoor seating is open, they only have a few tables since they are a small place. They're very picturesque though, so it's worth checking them out. read more

OH MY WORD, I had to come onto Yelp as soon as I finished because this was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The porchetta pizza was so perfect--rich and cheesy, and SO flavorful (I believe it's topped with porchetta/pork, spinach, provolone, garlic, and cream). And the dough is everything pizza dough should strive to be--thick, with a bite, and the perfect balance of chewy and crispy. None of that burnt, or super thin business. It was a little oily, but it didn't feel heavy or overbearing at all! Ordering by phone was super convenient and quick, and you just walk in and pay--everyone was so kind! This pizza warmed my heart and made me forget about everything that's been happening in 2020. I've been dreaming about pizza for the past few days and you best believe I walked home SO FAST, holding the small warm box of deliciousness in my hands as if my happiness depended on it. (And it did--I am SO happy right now, so thank you Square Pie!) read more
Why have I not been here before? What has taken me so long to find this little piece of pizza heaven? This place is a BYO, so come prepared. They had alot of take out orders too! Its literally some of the best pizza I've had in philadelphia. Its the closest thing to deep dish you will find. Its super filling, so be mindful when you order! Luckily, our waitress was kind enough to keep us from over ordering. We ordered a mushroom pie and an eggplant pie. Both were delicious. Both were totally different in flavor. I seroiusly cant wait to go back again. My mouth is watering already! read more
I think I could probably write this whole review on how perfect their crust is, and that is probably my favorite part of any good Detroit style pizza. The crispiness of the outer crust still provides a perfect foundation for their amazing toppings. The pancetta gave me a whole new appreciation for potatoes on pizza. Definitely going to keep coming back to try all their other creations! read more

One of the best pizzas in Philly hands down! Cannot be compared to other pizza places. Ordered take out and the pizza was still warm and fresh. We ordered the porchetta and soppressetta. Both were delicious! The thickness of the pizza was about 0.5-1" and was very hearty. The crust was super crispy. Pizzas weren't too oily or salty and has a good ratio of toppings and dough. Only thing is I wish the pizza was cut all the way through. read more

This. Is. Pizza. Not your average neighborhood papa johns chain or some lack luster doughy mess labeled pizza but real pizza that has real depth and character. It's square (hence the name), it's friendly, it's a BYOB, it's messy and greasy, it's almost closer to a deep dish than a flat lifeless NY slice, and if it's good enough for Joe Beddia, it's certainly good enough for me. The atmosphere is friendly, casual, and fun--like your best friends opened a pizza shop except you don't know they're your best friends yet. The mushroom pie was our favorite but the sausage also looked equally as good if you're a meat pizza lover. A good Italian salad to start was also a good choice to make us feel less guilty about the damage we did to the pie itself. read more

Square Pie is a totally different style of pizza than what most people are used to in Philly (and that's a great thing). I think they call it Brooklyn style pizza, which has a much thicker crust and is obviously square-shaped. The dough is super flavorful and has a perfect texture. I like my pizza well done so the beautiful crispy exterior is ideal for me. We got a traditional mozzarella pie with tomato sauce and cheese and a porchetta pie with roast pork, spinach, provolone, and cream sauce. They were both amazing and totally different. If I'm ever in the mood for a different style of pizza, Square Pie will be the move! read more

I wanted to try some real Philadelphia pizza. This place was highly rated and recommended so we made the trip. Cute neighborhood spot. Nothing fancy, just a handful of tables and clearly lots of takeout happening. Friendly service. And the pizza .. oh, the pizza! Seriously some of the best of ANY kind I've ever had. The crust is an amazing cross between deep dish and hand tossed but in a square. Great sauce. Fresh toppings. I was in love with it. Whenever I'm back in Philly, I will be back. Simply amazing pizza. Highly recommended! read more

The BEST pizza in Philadelphia! I didn't know what to expect of "Brooklyn" style pizza but it was phenomenal. The crust must've been infused with something amazing because it was so good. The box looks small when you get it (compared to what you get from thin crust pizza) but because each slice is thick one slice is very filling. So happy it's so close to me! read more
