Anthony Christopher Iaquinto, 68, passed away in his Wyndmoor home on Monday, June 23rd. He was a long time resident and active part of the community.
Anthony was born on May 17th, 1957, at Cooper Hospital in Camden, NJ, to Giulia and Anthony Iaquinto Sr. He graduated from Springfield High School, (Class of 1976).
After school he went on to work, managing and eventually taking over the family restaurant, Pizza City, in Wyndmoor.
Anthony touched the lives of so many. He spent his career making his customers his friends and serving up the “real deal” pizza. He woke early in the morning to make the dough, prepare the sauce, and grate the cheese. He put his heart into every bit of the pizza, because his customers “deserved the best”.
Pizza City wasn’t your average pizza shop. You were greeted by a friend who truly cared, and appreciated every person who came through the door
Tony's Pizza City was a staple in the community for 65 years, and Tony Jr. was proud to carry on the tradition.
Anthony is survived by his wife, Marianne Iaquinto (Gioquindo); his son, Christopher Iaquinto; His grandchildren, Althea and Grey Iaquinto; his mother Giulia Iaquinto; his sister, Lisa Bornholdt (Jeff); his nephews Kristofer Bornholdt (Taylor); and Thomas Bornholdt; his nieces, Kelly Clinefelter (John); Susan Owen (Dave); and Melissa Coleman (Zach); and many great nieces and nephews.
Anthony is preceded in death by his father, Anthony Iaquinto Sr.; his brother, Joseph Iaquinto; and sister, Anna High.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Sam’s Hope, a charity that Anthony found dear to his heart honoring his beloved dog Sam.
A date for a Celebration of life is scheduled for August 3rd. Details will be announced at a later date.
