Our Story

FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED SINCE 1986

Our family first moved to the United States from Italy in the spring of 1970, hoping for a chance at the American dream. By the summer of 1986, we’d opened our own pizzeria, Famous Famiglia, in the heart of New York City, where we served up fresh, authentic New York style pizza in a fast, casual environment. In the years to follow, we opened several more pizzerias throughout New York City, winning awards with our quality and customer service standards, and the Famous Famiglia brand quickly became a leader in the New York pizza market, earning the title of “New York’s Favorite Pizza .” Today, Famous Famiglia operates company owned and has franchised locations across a diverse mix of venues in six different countries. The Famous Famiglia story is one of triumph and a passion for the spirit of entrepreneurship, and here on Madison Avenue, we’re excited to continue this tradition.
