Pica's Restaurant

From a pizzeria to a full-service restaurant for over 60 years.

In 1941, Frank Pica, Sr. opened a pizzeria at 62nd and Race Street in West Philadelphia. This small establishment containing just a few tables, an old-fashioned brick oven anda take-out counter soon became a special part of the neighborhood. His loyal customers revered the friendly and warm atmosphere, which Frank promoted just as much as his infamous "Square Pizza."

In 1956 Frank Sr. along with Frank Jr., moved the pizzeria to 7803 West Chester Pike in Upper Darby, where it grew into a full-service restaurant. Over the years the Pica family and their loyal upheld the policy the Frank Sr. started--that the customer always comes first.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Discovered Pica's in the late 50's and have been traveling far lately just to get a small mushroom pizza which is the best i've ever had. After moving to Southern Maryland i'd visit my sister and drive an hour out of the way to get a Pica's Pizza. Now i'm in Newark, Delaware and the trip up I-95 to the Blue Route is worth it because when i get to West Chester Pike I know what's down the road. 5 stars all the way.

Pros: GREAT Pizza!

Cons: Small parking spots in a small parking lot

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Me and my family drive forty-five minutes for this pizza. It is what I would consider unconventional in that it is square, and heavy on the sauce, but it is fantastic! Have not tried everything in the city, but there is none better in the western burbs or the Jersey shore! We eat a lot of pizza, and this is one you can't beat.

Pros: Tops in pizza. The food in general is quite good, and reasonably priced.

Cons: None that comes to mind.
