Important Update From Santillo's Brick Oven Pizzaa

Temporary Closed

To Our Valued Santillo’s Community,

We are saddened to report that a recent fire has significantly impacted our beloved pizzeria. Thankfully, there were no injuries, but the damage means we will be temporarily closed as we embark on the journey to rebuild. For over a century, from Lou Santillo’s horse and buggy bread deliveries to the cherished recipes perfected by Alfred Sr. and Alfred Jr., Santillo’s has been more than a pizzeria; it’s been a home to generations of tradition and community spirit. The fire may have touched our premises, but the heart of Santillo’s — our commitment to authentic, traditional pizza and the bonds we share with each of you — remains unscathed.

We are overwhelmed and grateful for the support from our community, customers, and friends who have reached out. Your encouragement fuels our determination to rebuild and continue the legacy that began in 1918. We are determined to rebuild, to restore the heart of our pizzeria so that we can continue to serve you, our extended family, the pizzas that have been part of your lives and ours. This fire has taken a toll on the physical structure of our beloved pizzeria, but it cannot and will not extinguish the spirit that has kept us going for three generations. We are more committed than ever to come back stronger, ensuring that the legacy lives on.

We are deeply touched by the outpouring of support from our community, from friends near and far, and from figures who have been part of our journey, like Dave Portnoy and Tom Colicchio. Your support during this time reinforces the bond we share with each of you and fuels our determination to rise from these ashes.

As we embark on this journey of rebuilding, we invite you to stay connected with us. We will be sharing updates, stories, and plans through our website and social media. Your words of encouragement, your memories of Santillo’s, and your unwavering support are the beacons of light guiding us forward.

Thank you for your patience, support, and love. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Al, and the Santillo’s Team
