In the early 1960's Mike and Nick Fifis came from Flemington New Jersey to settle in the South Jersey area where they took over ownership of Ponzios Brooklawn, and in 1964 they purchased Ponzios Cherry Hill (then known as the Ellisburg Diner). Over the years the restaurant has gone through a few different family members as well as its fair share of renovations.

1979 was a year for major renovations at the restaurant, which have been added upon and expanded ever since. Each dining room in the restaurant has seen its fair share of renovations and changes. In 1984 the Bar Room was built, to allow patrons to sit and have a quick drink while they waited for their tables. Then in 2005 the bar area underwent a major remodel, this time to give it a life of its own; what used to be a room to wait to be seated for dinner, has now become its own destination. At any time of day, patrons can be found in the Bar Room talking business, sharing laughs, and/or watching "the big game" on one of four plasma TV's.

Known as the oldest "eatery" in Cherry Hill, Ponzios has not only served delicious meals to many, many residents of South Jersey, it has served the community as well, having employed over 10,000 indiduals throughout the years. In its unrelenting search to serve its patrons in new and better ways, Ponzios recently opened Ponzios-To-Go; a convenient take-out counter not only offering anything on the menu for pickup, but providing party trays and pickup catering for any type of get together.
