Lucia Alimentari

The Lucia brand and ethos began 4 decades ago, when Salvatore’s parents, a pair of Greek and Scilican immigrants, decided to open up Papa Leones in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Manhattan Beach shortly after arriving to the United States. With an impressive 4 decades of operation, Papa Leone closed its door when Sal’s parents retired. Sal clearly was brought up around NYC pizza culture, so it is of no surprise that Lucia Pizza of Avenue X beckons back to the old days of NYC Pizza with a fresh and new twist. Lucia, a Latin word meaning “Light” hints at a more wholesome approach to pizza, producing a lighter and healthier product, making for an elevated New York style pizza.
