In the early 1900’s, working in the Salumerias of Little Italy, Pasquale “Patsy” Lancieri perfected New York Style Pizza. In 1933, he opened the city’s first Pizzeria Restaurant, establishing himself as New York’s foremost pizza baker and inspiring scores of imitators. Over 60 years later, Patsy’s Pizzerias still proudly serve his famous recipe of traditional New York Style Thin-Crust Brick Oven Pizza throughout the city and regarded as one of New York’s Original Brick Oven Pizzerias.
