The owners are inviting their loyal patrons to visit in the coming weeks

Patsy's Pizzeria Brings New York's Iconic Coal-Fired Pizza to Greenwich

Patsy's Pizzeria, a legendary establishment rooted in East Harlem, New York, has officially opened its doors in Greenwich, Connecticut. Located at 130 E. Putnam Ave, this new pizzeria represents a significant milestone as it marks Patsy's first venture outside of New York State. The opening, eagerly anticipated by the community, was delayed due to inspection processes, as noted by co-owner Steve Haxhiaj.

Founded by Pasquale "Patsy" Lancieri in 1933, Patsy's Pizzeria is famous for its coal-fired, thin-crust pizza—a style that has come to define New York pizza culture. Over the years, it has become a beloved spot for many celebrities, including Frank Sinatra and Joe DiMaggio. The Greenwich location not only offers Patsy’s signature pizza but also features a more extensive menu, including steaks, lamb chops, veal chops, and homemade pasta, combining elements from the owners' other Manhattan restaurants, Il Monello and Tuscany Steakhouse.

This new Greenwich location is described as a more upscale version of the original Patsy’s, maintaining the authenticity of the original East Harlem pizzeria while introducing a modern twist. The pizzeria's interior, featuring about 65 seats and a full bar, initially opened for dinner only, with plans to extend to lunch service soon.

By bringing a piece of New York’s storied pizza history to Connecticut, Patsy's aims to offer both locals and visitors an authentic taste of the famed Patsy's experience. Whether you're indulging in their iconic thin-crust pizza or savoring one of their Italian specialties, Patsy's Pizzeria promises to be a culinary highlight in Greenwich.

For those interested in exploring more of Patsy's Pizzeria locations, you can find listings for the East Harlem and Greenwich Village spots, offering the same iconic dishes in their respective vibrant neighborhoods.
