Brooklyn Roots, Staten Island PrideEver take a bite of our Sicilian pie and think, “Wait a minute… this tastes just like the oldPizza Park in Gravesend!”?You’re not imagining things! There’s a little history behind that familiar flavor.Our recipes were passed down by the legendary Joe Iannelli, affectionately known as“The Big Guy.” Joe spent more than 40 years serving up great pizza, first in Brooklynand later in Staten Island. His Sicilian pies were legendary on Avenue U in Gravesend,across from the square between Lake and Van Sicklen Streets. He later owned andoperated Il Forno of Brooklyn at 7312 13th Avenue in Bensonhurst.John Caggiano, owner and operator of our Staten Island location, knows a thing or twoabout Brooklyn pizza himself. Before crossing the bridge, John owned Johnny’s Pizzaon Avenue U, between West 8th and West 9th Streets, for seven years.
In 2010, John purchased IL Forno from Joe, carrying on the tradition and preserving therecipes, ingredients, tips, and tricks that made Joe’s pizza so memorable.Different location, same proud tradition. ❤️❤️
