Since 1962

No shortcuts, just the wood fire and the family recipe

We’ve been on the same Brooklyn corner for sixty years, serving the neighborhood exactly what it deserves.

The 900-degree floor

Our bricks were seasoned by my grandfather. We burn local oak to blister the crust in sixty seconds flat.

San Marzano only

We source tomatoes from the Sarno Valley—sweet, low-acid, and crushed by hand every morning.

A 48-hour rise

Slow fermentation makes for a light, digestible dough that never leaves you feeling heavy.

The Sunday Supper

Every week we run a rotating pasta special based on what’s fresh at the market, served family-style until the pot is empty.

Lioni’s Mozzarella

Delivered daily from the neighborhood's best cheesemakers. It’s creamy, salty, and never frozen.

Brooklyn on tap

Local lagers and cold carafes of house red. Simple drinks for honest food.
