About
Angelo came to this country in the late 1930’s, settling in New
York. He has worked a lifetime making great pizza, first at pizza
shops around the city and then at his own store, Pizza Chef, on
Brooklyn’s Fulton Street. As time passed, Angelo lamented that
there were only a handful of places left like his that made what
he calls real pizza. “The crust has to be blackened and crisp!
Only fresh mozzarella and tomatoes…!” he often pleases. This
genuine passion for pizza has passed on to the family’s next
generations, as his children and nephews continue his tradition
of excellent pizza making. And now as his nephew John starts
his own pizza restaurant, he pays homage to his uncle Angelo,
who served as an inspiration to them all.
