IL FORNO 

- Our Story -
 
     Many of our customers have asked where our previous location is in Brooklyn.  Some have commented that our Sicilian pie tastes just like Pizza Park's in Gravesend used to years ago.  Here is why you may get that sense of deja-vu when you taste our pizza.  Our recipes were handed down from Joe Iannelli (the Big Guy).  He served his customers for over 40 years; first in Brooklyn and then later in  Staten Island.  His Sicilian pies were legendary on Avenue U in Gravesend across the street from the square between Lake and Van Sicklen Streets.  He later owned and operated Il Forno of Brooklyn at 7312 13th Avenue in Bensonhurst.
 
     John Caggiano is the owner and operator of our Staten Island location.  He owned Johnny's Pizza on Avenue U between West 8th and West 9th Streets for seven years before making the move across the bridge.  He continues to use Joe's recipes and ingredients for our pizza; as well as the tips and tricks Joe picked up along the way.  We are very proud of our product and know our customers can distinguish between high quality, authentic and well prepared food verses low quality substitutes.
