Welcome to Tacconelli's Pizzeria
A little history.
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. | |
