Our History
Immigrating
to
this
country
in 1925
from
Naples,
Italy,
and
Catania,
Sicily,
my
family
opened their
first
pizzeria
and
restaurant in
the
Bronx,
New
York,
in
the
1940s.
Using family
recipes
from the
old
country,
my
family
made
pizza
the way
it
was
always
meant to
be
made.
Each
pizza
was hand
tossed to
order
and baked
on
stone
decks.
They used
all
the best
and
natural ingredients,
such
as
pure
olive
oil,
whole
milk mozzarella,
Parmigiana
and
Romano
cheese,
sun-baked
California
or
Italian
tomatoes,
high protein
flour
for
our
homemade
dough,
and
of
course,
our
own secret
blend of
herbs and
spices. Sweeteners
were never
used. When
I
was
a
kid
growing
up in
this
business,
this
was
the
ONLY
way
to
make
pizza.
Using
only
the
best
quality ingredients,
we
served
large
portions,
and all
at
reasonable prices.
Other
pizzerias
had their
own
family
recipes
and
secrets,
but
we
all
seemed
to
use
the
same
basic
principles and
techniques.
Nowadays,
with pre-made
crusts,
frozen
pizzas and
assembly
line
techniques,
making
pizza
my
family's
way seems
to
be
a
novelty...
the
exception, not
the
rule.
A painstaking,
traditional way.
Making
the
"Best Pizza
North
of the
Bronx"
is
our
main
business,
not
a
sideline
or an afterthought.
We
have
been
doing
it
for
many
years,
and hope
to
for
many
years
to
come. |

We have recently started purchasing a
Gluten Free Pizza Crust from Berry Delicious Bakery, a totally gluten
free facility out of Plymouth, NH. Wow, very delicious, nice crisp
crust, Italian flavoring, another great option for the whole family here
at Elvio's Pizzeria & Restaurant.
