Had a crave-worthy bite of nostalgia at Gaeta’s Tomato Pies. I dove into one of their legendary square tomato pies that are crisp, with a sweet and tangy sauce that bubbles into caramelized edges, all baked in a brick oven and served at room temperature. It’s the kind of simple, soulful food that makes you smile with every crunchy corner. This place has been a Philly staple for over 75 years, family-owned and fiercely loved by locals. No-frills, totally and full of Italian-American charm. Whether you grab one slice or a full pie, it hits all the right notes. If you’re ever craving what Philly-style tomato pie was made for, this is IT. 🍅🥰
Why it’s so beloved:
- Iconic, crisp-on-the-bottom tomato pie with a perfect sauce-to-crust balance
- Rooted in tradition since the 1930s—originally started by the Scalea sisters in Germantown, moved and carried on under the Gaeta name
Grab One If You…
- Want something simple yet extraordinary
- Crave old-school Philly tradition
- Appreciate no-fuss, culinary comfort with big flavor
Gaeta’s Tomato Pies—truly, square slices of Philly history in every bite.
