Bertucci's Italian Restaurant, Brick oven pizzeria in Springfield Township, United States
Bertucci's Italian Restaurant is a pizzeria in Springfield Township, Pennsylvania, known for cooking pizzas in brick ovens and serving fresh pasta alongside them. The menu draws on traditional Italian recipes and covers a range of dishes beyond pizza, including appetizers and salads.
Bertucci's was founded in 1981 in Massachusetts, making it one of the earliest restaurant groups in the northeastern United States to center its cooking around a brick oven. Over the following decades, the chain expanded across several states before settling into its current presence in the region.
At Bertucci's, the Italian habit of sharing food at the table shapes the whole experience, from the way dishes are served to the pace of the meal. The wood-fired oven is visible from the dining area, giving the room a warm, familiar feeling.
The restaurant offers dine-in seating, curbside pickup, and delivery, so visitors can choose the option that works best for them. Those planning to eat inside may want to arrive early on weekends, as the place tends to fill up during peak hours.
The brick ovens used in Bertucci's kitchens reach around 600 degrees Fahrenheit (315 degrees Celsius), which is far hotter than a standard home oven and allows each pizza to bake in just a few minutes. This short cooking time is what produces the thin, slightly charred crust that regulars tend to seek out.
