The expanding franchise is bringing its pizza ovens to 100 Springdale Road, a location that will provide seating for around 50 guests. Franchisee John Dingler tells What Now Philadelphia that he’s hoping to begin serving hot, fresh slices in July. “We’re waiting for zoning.” he states, adding “We just started getting bids for construction. We’re hoping to accept a bid very shortly and get into construction by May.” 

Dingler credits his partner for selecting the Cherry Hill location, saying: “My partner Steve Bombaro is from the area-he was born and raised in Berlin. He’s familiar with the Cherry Hill area and he felt that it was an amazing idea, with the lack of pizza in that area.”

Dingler was a Santucci’s fan before becoming a franchisee. He believes that the brand’s name inspires confidence among diners. He explains: “We feel like Santucci’s is a Philadelphia staple. It’s a good name, and an amazing family. They make good product, great food. When we saw online that they franchise we were excited, so we took a shot.”

Steve’s intuition has proven sound; Dingler states that a positive buzz is already percolating about the pizzeria. “We’ve been getting amazing feedback online. It’s a really nice shopping center, in a very busy, condensed area.”

Santucci’s will be a BYOB. Dingler is hoping to partner with local wineries to pair the perfect vino with the perfect slice. 

Cherry Hill residents unfamiliar with the menu are certain to delight at the brand’s unique approach to classic cuisine. Dingler describes what future regulars can look forward to, stating of Santucci’s: “They’re famous for their square pizza-that’s their staple. They don’t sell round, they’re square only. Cheese on the bottom, gravy on top, that’s what they’re known for. But their whole menu is amazing. We’re going to have pasta dishes, steaks, strombolis, and salads.”
