Why Locals Love It
Customer Reviews
"Cozy place. They don't have a counter that you can look at available slices but they will make most for you to order by slice (except the veggie). $7 for 2 slices and a drink is a great deal. They have a small dining room that was neat and quiet. The men working the front were efficient and professional. Only downside is that there is no public bathroom but I understand given the size of the place. Prices were good as the service and food. I was happy with my experience and would return."
"Our new favorite neighborhood spot! We ordered a vegan sausage/onion/pepper and a vegan garlic/basil. Great thin crust, and they did not hold back on the toppings! So happy to have found Letiziaβs & will definitely be back."
"We came for pizza, the decor is basic but the pies we tried were very good, thin crust with a bit of char. Note you can specify how well cooked you want the crust so make sure you do so. We had a sausage/onion, a pepperoni and a plain cheese. Its a nice thin crust style, sort of a cross between NYC and New Haven. We would definitely come back. Good to now have a spot for when we are in Norwalk."
"Old fashioned pizza, π and delicious, recommended forever thank you thank you β¦"

Pepperoni: America's Favorite Pizza Topping
Pepperoni is the most popular pizza topping in the United States, with over two-thirds of Americans ranking it as their top choice. Interestingly, pepperoni is an American creation, derived from the Italian word 'peperoni', meaning bell peppers. The spicy cured sausage, now synonymous with American pizza, was developed by Italian-American immigrants.
Hawaiian Pizza: A Canadian Creation with a Tropical Twist
Despite its name, Hawaiian pizza was first crafted in Ontario, Canada, by Greek-Canadian restaurateur Sam Panopoulos in 1962. He pioneered the use of pineapple as a pizza topping, pairing it with ham to create a sweet-and-salty flavor profile. This innovation has since become a beloved, yet controversial, topping combination worldwide.
