The roots of our pizza making go back to the early 1950's in Brooklyn where my uncle Steve opened his first pizzaria on Brooklyn Ave and growing up in my fathers pizzaria on Long Island we learned the fine art of making NY pizza. We opened our business in 1986 in downtown Rochester have been here ever since. We moved to a larger location just 30 feet away in 2015. We make one of the only true NY pizzas in Rochester not to mention our stuffed pizzas, frozen take and bake stuffed pizzas, and a wide variety of specialty pizzas, calzones, pizza turnovers, garlic knots and cinnamon knots. If you like a thin crust NY pizza then we are the place for you, come down and check us out.
We combine traditional methods with non-traditional twists to create one of a kind products that our customers love. Our pizza is inspired by both traditional Neapolitan and New York style pizzas. Traditional Neapolitan pizza is cooked above 800 degrees Fahrenheit in two minutes or less, whereas New York style is baked anywhere from 475-550 degrees Fahrenheit in about 8-12 minutes. The pizza we make at the Pizza Garage falls somewhere between both of those styles. We bake our pizza at 650 degrees Fahrenheit in about 4-6 minutes which creates characteristics consistent with both Neapolitan and New York style pizzas. Quality is of highest importance when selecting ingredients for our pizza from making our own fresh mozzarella to importing products from Italy. Our mission is to use quality ingredients and source locally when possible to provide our customers a unique pizza. Owner Luis Perez spent his early childhood eating pizza from slice shops in New York City and after a trip to Italy, he wanted to create a pizza that offered the best of his own experiences. The Pizza Garage hopes to offer others a similar nostalgic pizza experience!
