Every great pizza place has a story, and at BRKLYN Pizza Co., that story starts with Marco Di Fede. Marco’s journey into the world of pizza isn’t just about making delicious pies—it’s about passion, heritage, and the desire to create something special in a city that’s always moving forward.
Born of Sicilian & Italian immigrants, Marco grew up surrounded by the rich culinary traditions of southern Italy. Pizza wasn’t just food in his family—it was an event, a reason for people to gather and share family and happiness. But it wasn’t until Marco found himself living in Hong Kong that he realized something was missing: the authentic taste of a homemade New York pizza that pays respect to its Italian origins. It was the kind of pizza he’d always appreciated but seldom found. A pizza that represented the best of both worlds.
Seeing the lack of respect for the traditions of a New York pizza and the saturation of the Neapolitan styles, Marco decided to take matters into his own hands. He set out to create a pizza that would bring together the boldness of New York with the depth and authenticity of Italian flavors. That’s how BRKLYN Pizza Co. was born—a place where classic New York pizza pays respect to the pizza’s Italian origins.
But it wasn’t just about making good pizza. For Marco, it was about creating a space where people could come together over great food, just like his family did every Sunday back in New Jersey. That’s why BRKLYN Pizza Co. is more than just a restaurant—it’s a reflection of Marco’s passion and heritage
