A Slice of New York in the Heart of L.A.

Meet Giuseppe (Joe) Vitale

Sicilian-born Joe Vitale moved from Italy to New York in 1978, starting out as a baker in a Brooklyn bakery before mastering the art of pizza-making in the early ’80s. In 2003, he opened the first Joe’s Pizza in Park Slope, Brooklyn, sharing his love for classic New York pies. Three years later, he launched another Joe’s Pizza on King’s Highway, continuing his passion for authentic, old-school pizza.
