In 1977 on the Lower East Side a pizzeria had a radical idea to sell Italian style squares. The recipe was created by Momma Leone and fed the huge immigrant community that remained.
That recipe and tradition was handed down for 30 years through multiple owners. Everybody knew where to go to for squares. 10 years ago, our boy Leon bought Nonnas in the LES and carried on the tradition. To ridiculous success voted best pizza in the LES multiple times and counted on by the top NYC corporations for catered lunches.
Unfortunately like many things in NYC, the landlords got greedy and it was time to move a NY legend. Leon wasn’t going to let the product and a brand disappear. He went back to the place in NY he grew up in, Astoria Queens, and brought Nonnas LES back to life. With the recipes and NY style of 1977.
Come by and have a taste of NYC legend, and say whats up to Leon.
