Cacia’s Bakery

Can’t beat this place if you are feeling peckish. My friends and I weren’t even hungry but ended up buying a couple slices of their individual square cut pies since they were only about a $ 1.60 a slice, give or take some cents.

Dam I love this place. Dollar-​forty slices, about 6 of them to choose from. Three-​twenty-​five cannolis. And the old guy fills them up for you. Damnit such a good stop.

A true South Philly gem and one of the most authentic Italian pizza I have had. Once in a while, I would crave for their cannolis which I couldn’t resist too.

Most Philadelphians think their pizza is great, but as someone who lived in New York for for 21 years I can tell you it is HARD to find good, authentic tasting pizza in Philly. Thank God I stumbled upon Cacia’s! It is the only bakery/​pizzeria in the area that I can count on to be consistently good. I love the variety — I’ve tried just about every different slice the south Philly location has (tomato, cheesesteak, white, broccoli, spinach, etc.) and they’re all delicious. And so cheap too! The tomato pie box is seriously a steal. In the summer they have Gelato which is also soo good!

The pizza here is soooo good for square pie. Pizzaz, double cheesesteak, and broccoli are my fav here, soups are awesome too! Staff is always so friendly too, huge plus :)

The roast pork is out of this world. The best I have ever had. Only available on Sundays. A container can make 4 – 5 sandwiches. Ask for provolone and peppers on the side.

When I worked in South Philly, my co-​workers would get Cacia’s pizza for lunch events. The pizza is awesome! I’m in love with the pizazz! The prices are reasonable; only downside to me is that it’s cash only. Service is great. If I’m craving pizza and I’m in the area, Cacia’s is my choice.

Not so sure what they hype is about. I’ve gotten pizza, dough, rolls, and gelato here. Let’s just say I am confused. Everyone in philly knows about Cacia’s. The dough is too… chewy for me. I’m just not impressed.

Another Philadelphia landmark
Cacias Bakery. Specializing in Italian bread and delicious pizzas you can buy by the slice or box. Having a party call ahead and order as many dozen party rolls the day before just come in and pay for them and I’ll be there waiting for you fresh and ready. They even cook pre-​prep turkeys for people Thanksgiving Day for a small fee while you can enjoy doing the rest of the set up at your house with guest.

Pizza was fresh and hot awesome, service with a smile Italians do it better lol, they want you to come back, double cheese steak pizza, pizza pizzaz was so good fresh bread

The bread is not the best thing about Cacia’s although it is great! This review is about their roast pork ! Made only on Sunday! It reminds me of the pork my grandmom used to make! Seasoned to perfection you can get a container (enough for about 5 sandwiches) for 11 bucks! It’s my Sunday tradition during football season ! Give it a try ! way better than that machine sliced stuf THIS PIRK IS THE REAL DEAL

Same co-​worker mentioned in Primo next door in desperate need of another T-​shirt stopped in here with me so we could pick up cheap slices of tomato, spinach and tomato with cheese pies. The neighborhood around Cacia’s is classic Italian Philadelphia and has a charm I’ve never experienced anywhere else. Two sweet girls manned the counter while we were there and they were impressed we came from as far away as Seattle.
Everything in there looks and smells terrific. Right now slices only go for $ 1.40 for a 7″ x 7″ square. P picked up a red T-​shirt for $ 15. We also tried the fresh cannoli with ricotta (they have a chocolate filling too) which was novel for me as someone not oriented towards sweets but familiar enough that the crunch of the shell biting into one surprised me. P seemed amused and said that’s because the cannolis are not usually filled to order at most bakeries and have time to sit in the display case and get soggy. Like everyone here has also pointed out, they only accept cash so you may have to use the generic ATM outside if you didn’t bring enough.

On a grand tour of Cannoli in Philadelphia, we stumbled upon this tiny little spot. And we were so glad we did. The cannoli was absolutely spectacular and we couldn’t resist also picking up a few slices of the tomato and cheese pizza pie they had our front. SO GOOD! We sat outside on the little bench to enjoy our spoils. A guy strolled past, gave the pizza a second glance, and decided he would buy some too. Will be visiting here again for sure.

great tomato pie and rolls … one of those places your grandfather would take you

Perhaps I take it a little for granted because we love down here. Maybe. Just maybe. I don’t eat it anymore because it has dairy (Even the tomato pie) but whenever we tell people where they live, they say how envious they are and that they would eat their square slices daily. It’s gets old though.
The ladies who work there are very nice. They usually give my kids free rolls and if you go at closing, they usually throw a couple of extra slices in your box. We go here for last minute dinner for the kiddies on occasion because they just LOVE their white broccoli slices. When we have company over they beg us for Cacia’s and they take cannolis back home. Pizazz is always a favorite with our friends. It’s tangy peppers. Spinach and plain tomato goes over well too. They just started carrying slices with meat, Philly cheesesteak etc. Rolls are always fresh.
They are packed on Thanksgiving as they will cook your turkey for you. You just drop it off then pick up which is kind of cool. New Years is another day you will see lines down the block. Oh and for Easter cakes too.
My gripes would be the loud flour truck deliveries they get weekly and block the streets!!! For hours!!! The traffic it brings in from people not from the neighborhood who aren’t familiar with «South Philly parking» and block streets just to get their pizza groove on (don’t be one of those asses). I also feel as I stated before, but then deleted once they contacted me but now I will add back, that they have NO regard for the neighborhood which gave them their start. They did indeed hire someone from the Megan’s Law list! Which they fired a week after my initial review. They know tons of kids live in the neighborhood.
It is a South Philly classic. Small. Cash only. I do think everyone should try it because it is a classic, but there’s better and there is just no regard for anyone else in the neighborhood. Many neighbors have boycotted because of how ride they are and how much drama and chaos they cause daily! The worst customer parking ever!!! I deal with the nonsense that comes from living near here daily and it’s honestly truly AWFUL!!!

Excellent tomato pie that’s heavier on the sauce (what I like) and slightly thinner on the crust than other versions I’ve tried. Their cannoli are delicious, and they’re sure to let you know that they’re freshly filled. I preferred the plain ricotta (a nice tang to it) to the chocolate one, but bother were great.

The food deserves 5 stars. The Pizzaz, oh my god, the pizzaz! The cheesesteak Stromboli! I’m salivating just thinking about it.
My only complaint is their hours. But hey, they’re worth advance planning.

Loveeee to come here and get a few slices to go! The pizazz is my absolute favorite!!! The broccoli is good too and so is the plain tomato pie. I’ve gotten rolls from here too and they’ve been pretty good. I could eat the pizazz every day though! SO good. South Philly gem!

Cacia’s is what I consider the quintessential deep South Philly bakery. Boo and I went in one day to get some tomato pie for a party and while we were waiting maybe 8 or 9 people came in and out and this is how the conversations went:
«Hey yo Frankie what’s happenin’?»
«Yo Frankie! Good brother how’s your son Frankie doin’?»
«Frankie’s good, he’s out with Frankie’s kids today.»
8 or 9 people came in, 6 or 7 were named Frankie as well as the guy manning the 15 foot pizza paddle (for lack of a better term).
While we stood waiting for our pie watching this ballad de la Frankies I began looking over the other offerings they had. Everything look incredible and we both had a touch of hangover from the night before so we figured we’d grab some squares to eat on our way to the BBQ. Boo and I each had a piece of the pizazz and naturally a piece of the cheesesteak. The pizazz was very good but paled in comparison to the cheesesteak. Every bite was bursting with flavor, the sauce tasted almost like a more robust béchamel. I can’t wait to cop an entire one.
The cheesesteak pizza is a 5 star all the way. I took a star away because the tomato pie while fine was still a good amount behind Corropolese. And it sucks because we brought it to a party where no one had had tomato pie before and we didn’t bring our A game. That being said I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of what Cacia’s has to offer and I’m excited for the future.

The *best* pizza in Philadelphia.
I know, I know. It’s a bakery. Fine. The baked goods are wonderful and the prices would make a Whole Foods regular head blow up. But the pizza, fantastic. Oily wonderfulness. Lots of cheese. Flavorful sauce but not overpowering. Square pizzas. Not too thick, not too thin (don’t get me started on thin pizza). Cheap. And the sauce/​cheese/​toppings go all the way to the ends of the non-​crust slices. It’s unique. And perfect.
