Plans For DeLorenzo's Tomato Pies In Bucks County Now In Jeopardy, Report Says

The plans to bring DeLorenzo's Tomato Pies to Bucks County may be in jeopardy, according to a new report by the Yardley News.

The famous Trenton pizza joint, which has been lauded as one of the best in the country, has plans to open a new location in Lower Makefield at Yardley-Langhorne and Edgewood roads. However, the Yardley News reports that the issue of finalizing the plans sparked a "heated discussion" at last week's Lower Makefield Township supervisors meeting.

The formal agreement was on the agenda for a scheduled vote, however the supervisors unanimously decided to reschedule approval of the development agreement until a meeting in October.

At issue, the Yardley News reports, is permit fees and the number of replacement trees required.

A few years back, DeLorenzo's had considered Newtown for its Bucks County location. But in 2014, the restaurant abandoned its effort to open on Newtown-Yardley Road at the site of the former Newtown Veterinary Hospital. That site is now Margiotti and Kroll Pediatrics.

DeLorenzo’s Tomato Pies are famous throughout the region. The pizzeria first opened in Trenton in 1947.
