Diners enjoy final weekend of pizza at Pica's Restaurant in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania
A beloved Delaware County pizza shop served up its final slices in its dining room this weekend before moving to a new location.
Pica's Restaurant along the West Chester Pike in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, is closing its dining room Sunday.
The beloved institution has been serving its famous upside-down, cheese-on-the-bottom, sauce-on-top trays of pizza since 1971.
In March, the owners of Pica's announced on Facebook that they would be closing their Upper Darby location after nearly 70 years and relocating to a smaller shop in Broomall.
They initially planned to close over the summer but delayed the closure to the fall.
The family plans to open a new takeout location in Lawrence Park Industrial Center in Broomall. Takeout in Upper Darby will remain open through the end of the year.
"It's so humbling to our family," Frank Pica said. "What's so amazing is all the memories that people have and how they're just sharing with us and sending us cards and talking about their childhood memories."
Pica's has a second restaurant in West Chester. Gift cards for the Upper Darby location will be honored at the West Chester restaurant.
Pica's is also selling its fixtures, paintings and furniture. Anyone who is interested in purchasing should call 610-789-7770 ext. 4 and ask for a manager.
