Welcome to Steel Penny Cafe - Best Pizza in town!

Steel Penny Cafe is a one-of-a-kind cafe, just like the 1943 coin. Inspired by recycling, Sullivan's Scrap Metals, and repurposing, here's everything you need to know about the steel penny. It's story time... Steel pennies were only produced for one year, 1943. There was a scarcity of brass and bronze because they used the metals, including copper (found in brass/bronze), to make artillery shells during the war. They needed to make the penny despite the scarcity. They used recycled steel, but there were issues. They became rusted. They are magnetic (and tended to get stuck in vending machines). As a result, the mint recalled about 10 million of them to melt. Some are still in limited supply today. Our name is almost as unique as our cozy coffee shop, which features hanging lights, funky antiques, and a lot of LOVE for all things that keep us caffeinated using La Colombe coffee. Come check us out or order delivery in Hatboro – our hometown!  Our location: Steel Penny Cafe 45...
