About Pica’s Restaurant
The history of Pica’s Restaurant started back in 1941 when Frank Pica Sr. started a small pizzeria shop in West Philadelphia. What began as a handful of tables, a take-out counter, and a brick-oven pizza soon became a neighborhood favorite.
In 1956, Frank Sr. and his son Frank Jr. moved the operation to Upper Darby, where the restaurant became a full-service eating venue, continuing the warm and family-friendly atmosphere that has always made Pica’s different.
The Pica’s team follows the philosophy of customers first, accompanied by an extensive menu with a variety of seafood, steaks, and salads, among others, along with the local favorite pizzas.
Although the restaurant has shut down, the family-owned business will continue in terms of takeout services. The Pica’s also have a second outlet in West Chester, which means their legacy and iconic square pizza are still being enjoyed by their faithful clientele throughout the area.
