The popular Pica’s Restaurant in Upper Darby will have its final day of dining on Sunday, October 25, 2025, ending a long and cherished run at the location.
The popular restaurant, which was featured by Upper Darby native Tina Fey on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” said dining at the location will end as they transition to “a new building.”
Takeout will still be available to customers for the time being, and Pica’s other location in West Chester will not be impacted, the restaurant said.
First established in 1941, Pica’s was founded in West Philadelphia by Frank Pica, Sr., who brought a unique pizza flavor from Italy.
“He wanted to share his tradition of what he had in Italy,” Angelina Pica-Oandasan, the restaurant’s current owner, told NBC10 in March. “And he would give that to his customers.”
Frank Pica, Jr. then took over when the restaurant moved to Upper Darby, where it remained a staple for decades.
Joe Quigley, a lifelong customer, said it’s the sauce that has helped him remain a loyal customer since the 1950s.
“It’s the sauce and it’s the people,” Quigley told NBC10 in March. “They have the talent to hire the right people.”
Pica’s Restaurant, a pizzeria in Upper Darby, is closing after 70 years in business. NBC10’s Yukare Nakayama spoke with the owners and customers of the beloved restaurant.
