In 1918 Giovanni Tacconelli came to Philadelphia from Italy. After a few years working as a laborer, he decided to do what he had done in his native Italy. "Bake Bread". The best and only way, he said, was to bake it in a brick oven. So along with a few of his friends he built his 20' by 20' brick oven. The bread business went well until the outbreak of World War II when all of his sons who had helped him in the business were drafted into military service. Having no one to help and since the bread business was so very time consuming, he stopped baking bread. In 1946, still having the brick oven, Giovanni pondered over what to do with it since everyone had come home from the War and had different careers in mind. He decided to make tomato pies, something that his mother had taught him to do many years before. They were and still are tomato pies to our family consisting of fresh made dough, little cheese and a lot of sauce cooked in our brick oven to give it a crisp light taste. In 1992, we realized that our oven, which had given us 72 years of service, needed a face-lift. We never thought that was supposed to be a 3 month "project" would turn out to be a 7 month "nightmare". Thanks to your loyal patronage The Tacconelli family, now in its 5th generation, is still baking tomato pies the Giovanni Tacconelli way. Please keep in mind we are a one-man, one-oven operation. Waiting time may vary. Please be assured each pie is made fresh and to order.

Love the pizza here if they delivered they would even be 100% better
The best! Then there is all the others!
The institution of pizzas!! I have been going to Tacconelli's since I was a kid! The best is the white pie with tomato and spinach. Sure you have to call hours ahead to reserve your shells but the outcome is so worth it!
The best pizza by far nothing can compare to th delicious ingrediants and toppings they use to make their pizza the best.
Simply, hands-down the B.E.S.T.
There is no other pizza like Tacconelli's! The paper thin crust and variety of toppings is an experience. Call ahead and reserve your pizza - it's THAT good!
authentic brick oven pizza at its finest
best thin crust, but be sure to call ahead and order you dough
I have been all over Italy and have sample countless amounts of pizza(s). The pizza at Tacconelli's is superb. If you want authentic mouth watering brick oven pizza then look no further than Tacconelli's. It is well worth the waiting time. Best enjoyed with a group of friends.
