New York City’s legendary John's of Bleecker Street was founded in 1929 by Italian immigrant Giovanni "John" Sasso, who hailed from Naples, the birthplace of pizza. It was originally located on Sullivan Street, and in 1934 John moved his coal-fired brick oven to the famed 278 Bleecker Street, where he perfected his pizza recipe. Sasso ran the pizzeria until passing his legacy on in 1954. Keeping the name, location, and tradition alive, John’s is still family-owned and operated to this day, widely regarded as one of New York’s very best pizzerias.
The world has changed, but John’s hasn’t. All of John's pizzas are baked in coal-fired brick ovens, just as they were in John's day. The world has changed a lot since 1929, but they’re still making traditional coal-fired pizza the old-fashioned way. John's of Bleecker Street is honored to deliver their world-famous New York pizza to doorsteps nationwide, through the power of Goldbelly!
