"The Tony's Pizza Legacy"

It all began in the late 1940's in the cultural city of Cosenza, Italy. Tony Mazzotta embarked on his long journey within the food industry. He soon encountered his true calling - pizza making! In 1959, he joined his family in Canada. By 1964, he decided to pursue his dream of running his own restaurant by moving to New York. To his surprise he found and married the woman who welcomed him into her family trade of pizza making. Tony followed his dream in 1966, when he opened his first Tony's Pizza on Gunhill Road in the North Bronx. As his success began to unfold, he became the proud father of his eldest child Roseanna, and by 1971 Silverio; his second child was born. During this time he could boast about his three successful Tony's Pizza locations throughout the New York State.

To further his successes, Tony expanded his business venture in 1974. A Tony's Pizza in Edmonton, Alberta Canada on 118 avenue was opened and operated by his family back home. In 1979, Tony returned to his family in Canada, the country that first captured his heart, to take ownership of this restaurant. In 1981 another joy was born to Tony - Anthony Mazzotta Jr. In 1986, the now world famous Tony's Pizza was relocated to 96 Street and 111 avenue. By now, Tony Sr. was the delighted "papa" of three. He instantaneously began to further his legacy by training his matured eldest son Silverio to follow in his footsteps of pizza making. In 1993, Silverio was marked as Tony Sr.'s protégé, who enriched the family business with his fresh ideas and strong spirit. In 1997, the last piece of this legacy was puzzled together, when Anthony ("Tony Jr.") chose to join the team. With his youth and modern ideas, this legacy was completed.

With this established pizzeria, Tony Sr. felt confident that his dream lay in the trusting hands of his sons, who would continue the legacy and sustain it within the Mazzotta family.

In present times, this once traditional pizzeria has evolved into a classical home for not only the Mazzotta family, but also for the dedicated supporters of this legacy. This is why they are grateful for their guests, who appreciate the traditional yet unique cuisine, the warm and comforting ambience and the genuine service. This perfect combination is what makes the Tony's Pizza Legacy everlasting!
